# 📊 Understanding RSI in Trading
### A Powerful Tool for Market Analysis
## 🔹 What is RSI?
Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator used in technical analysis to measure the speed and magnitude of price movements.
## 🔹 How RSI Works
RSI is calculated using the formula:
$$RSI = 100 - \left( \frac{100}{1 + RS} \right)$$
where RS (Relative Strength) is the ratio of average gains to average losses over a set period (typically 14 days).
## 🔹 Key RSI Levels
✅ Above 70 → Overbought (potential reversal or correction)
✅ Below 30 → Oversold (potential buying opportunity)
✅ Near 50 → Neutral (market consolidation)
## 🔹 Uses of RSI
- Identifying Trend Strength – Confirms bullish or bearish momentum.
- Spotting Reversals – Helps detect potential turning points in price action.
- Confirming Breakouts – RSI divergence can signal trend continuation or reversal.
- Enhancing Trading Strategies – Works well with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and volume indicators.
