The Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price movements on a scale of 0 to 100. Traditionally, an RSI above 70 suggests a stock may be overbought, while a reading below 30 indicates it may be oversold after an extended period of selling.
While an overbought RSI does not necessarily signal an imminent pullback, investors often monitor such stocks for potential changes in momentum, particularly around earnings announcements that can reshape market expectations.
