BRVX Glossary · RSI (relative strength index) · Updated September 25, 2026
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that compares the size of recent gains with recent losses on a scale of 0 to 100. Readings above 70 are conventionally called overbought and below 30 oversold; the default period is 14.
The formula
RSI 100 − 100 ÷ (1 + RS) RS Avg gain ÷ Avg loss (14)
The more of the recent movement was up, the closer RSI gets to 100.
How it works
- Gains, losses Last 14 periods
- Ratio Avg gain ÷ avg loss
- RSI Scaled 0–100
Reading RSI
- Above 70: overbought — the rise has been strong, not necessarily over.
- Below 30: oversold.
- 50: the line between bullish and bearish momentum.
- Divergence: price makes a new extreme and RSI does not.
The common mistake
In a strong trend RSI can stay above 70 or below 30 for weeks. Selling every overbought reading in a bull market means shorting into strength.
