Understand before you act
RSI (14), explained
RSI compares recent gains with recent losses on a scale from 0 to 100. It measures momentum, not fundamental value.
How Index Screener uses it
Relative Strength Index
The daily signals use 14-period RSI with Wilder smoothing. Values above 70 activate Overbought; below 30 activate Oversold.
What it helps you assess
Assess momentum and notice when a move is stretched.
What it cannot tell you
Strong trends can hold extreme readings for a long time. RSI and Bollinger signals may reflect the same price move, so they are not independent evidence.
Before an entry or exit
These are learning examples to build your own checklist. They are not tested trading rules or personalized recommendations.
Look for confirmation
Look for momentum recovery alongside price confirmation, such as a return above support. Match the signal to the broader trend instead of using a threshold alone.
Follow your risk plan
Review weakening momentum together with your stop and price structure. An RSI threshold is a review prompt, not a complete exit plan.
