# š Understanding RSI in Trading
### A Powerful Tool for Market Analysis
## š¹ What is RSI?
Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator used in technical analysis to measure the speed and magnitude of price movements.
## š¹ 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).
## š¹ Key RSI Levels
ā Above 70 ā Overbought (potential reversal or correction)
ā Below 30 ā Oversold (potential buying opportunity)
ā Near 50 ā Neutral (market consolidation)
## š¹ Uses of RSI
- Identifying Trend Strength ā Confirms bullish or bearish momentum.
- Spotting Reversals ā Helps detect potential turning points in price action.
- Confirming Breakouts ā RSI divergence can signal trend continuation or reversal.
- Enhancing Trading Strategies ā Works well with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and volume indicators.
