Understanding Oversold Territory and RSI
Oversold territory is typically defined by a stock’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), a widely used technical indicator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. The RSI operates on a scale from zero to 100. A stock is generally considered to be oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.
