The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset. It is displayed as an oscillator and can have a value from 0 to 100.

Typically, RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30. These levels can be adjusted to better fit the characteristics of a specific security or trading strategy. For example, in a strong uptrend, an RSI above 80 might be more appropriate to signal overbought conditions.

The RSI calculation involves a few steps:

1. **Calculate Average Gains and Losses:** First, calculate the average price increase (Up) and average price decrease (Down) over a specified period (typically 14 periods).

```

First Average Up = Sum of Ups over the past 14 periods / 14

First Average Down = Sum of Downs over the past 14 periods / 14

```

2. **Subsequent Average Calculation:** After the initial calculation, smooth the averages using the following formulas:

```

Average Up = [(Previous Average Up) x 13 + Current Up] / 14

Average Down = [(Previous Average Down) x 13 + Current Down] / 14

```

3. **Calculate Relative Strength (RS):** Divide the average gain by the average loss.

```

RS = Average Up / Average Down

```

4. **Calculate RSI:** Use the RS value to calculate the RSI.

```

RSI = 100 - [100 / (1 + RS)]

```
