The Relative Strength Index (RSI), developed by J. Welles Wilder in his book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”, is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI is most typically used on a 14-day period, measured on a scale from 0 to 100.

A RSI surpasses the 30 level indicates a bullish sign, when it slides below 70 level, it’s a bearish sign. This level can be adjusted depending on the security’s pattern and the market’s underlying trend. In an uptrend or bullish market, the RSI might range within a higher interval, investors could set the support level higher. If a downtrend or bearish market occurs, investors may need to lower the resistance level.
