RSI

What Is the Relative Strength Index (RSI)?

The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security.

The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100. The indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.

The RSI can do more than point to overbought and oversold securities. It can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought situation. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.

What Does RSI Mean?

The relative strength index (RSI) measures the price momentum of a stock or other security. The basic idea behind the RSI is to measure how quickly traders are bidding the price of the security up or down. The RSI plots this result on a scale of 0 to 100.

Readings below 30 generally indicate that the stock is oversold, while readings above 70 indicate that it is overbought. Traders will often place this RSI chart below the price chart for the security, so they can compare its recent momentum against its market price.


Limitations of the RSI

The RSI compares bullish and bearish price momentum and displays the results in an oscillator placed beneath a price chart. Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.

True reversal signals are rare and can be difficult to separate from false alarms. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a stock. A false negative would be a situation where there is a bearish crossover, yet the stock suddenly accelerated upward.

Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant momentum in either direction. Therefore, the RSI is most useful in an oscillating market (a trading range) where the asset price is alternating between bullish and bearish movements.

Bulls and Bears

 Asset allocations. Expense ratios. Earnings per share. Let’s face it — the world of investing is rife with choices, complexities, and foreign jargon. There are, however, two investment phrases that may be more familiar: bull and bear markets. While both are used to describe how markets are performing, they are entirely different animals when it comes to the impact they can have on your portfolio and the investment decisions you make.

What is a bull market?

The financial markets for stocks, bonds, and commodities are greatly impacted by consumer confidence. And in bull markets, which occur when investment prices are on the rise for sustained periods, confidence is soaring. Propelled by the thriving economies and low unemployment that usually accompany bull markets, investors are eager to buy or hold onto securities, thus creating a buyer’s market. 

Throughout history, the bulls in U.S. markets have had some great runs, starting with the boom after World War II that exceeded the market’s peak before The Great Depression. Since that time, the market has experienced a series of bull markets, including the longest one from 2009 to 2019, which was on the heels of the collapse in the U.S. housing market.

But, as history has shown, bulls don’t run forever.

What is a bear market?

While bull markets are fueled by optimism, bear markets — which occur when stock prices fall 20% or more for a sustained period of time — are just the opposite. Bulls are generally powered by economic strength, whereas bear markets often occur in periods of economic slowdown and higher unemployment. Instead of wanting to buy into the market, investors want to sell, often fleeing for the safety of cash or fixed-income securities. The result is a seller’s market.

Bear markets can last from a few weeks to several years. The first and most famous bear market was The Great Depression. The dot com bubble in 2000 and the housing crisis of 2007–2008 are other examples.

Bear versus bull market? Sometimes it’s neither

As any experienced investor knows, markets are constantly in flux — and many times, it’s not due to bear or bull markets. Often, small gains and losses offset each other, leading to flattened markets. Additionally, markets may experience more significant changes due to short-term trends or market corrections that may cause downward movements. Bull and bear markets occur over a sustained period; over time, the bulls have prevailed as the stock market has posted positive results.

Investing in bull and bear markets

Because there are many differences between bull and bear markets, the way you make investment decisions varies greatly. Having a higher allocation of stocks is optimal in a bull market, where there's more potential for higher returns. One way to capitalize on the rising prices of a bull market is to buy stocks early on and sell them before they reach their peak. In a bear market, where there is more loss potential, investing in equities should be done with great prudence, since you are likely to incur a loss — at least initially. In preparation for a bear market, it may be wise to direct your money toward fixed-income securities. 

Another way to prepare for bull and bear markets is through financial planning. Creating a sound plan with a financial advisor will help you avoid one of the biggest traps investors fall into: making financial decisions based on emotion. For example, in bull markets, you may have recency bias that the market will continue to rise, and thus be willing to take more risk than is prudent. In contrast, in a down market, you may act on fear and make rash decisions, such as leaving the market.

Investing for long-term success

While it’s important to understand the direction of the markets, it’s extraordinarily difficult to predict when the transition from a bull to a bear market will take place. Over time, the best strategy for managing market changes has been through long-term strategic asset allocation. Working with a financial advisor to create a diversified investment portfolio can help you weather challenging markets, avoid the near-impossible task of timing the market, and make rational — not emotional — investment decisions. 

The bottom line

While the stock market has experienced sustained periods of growth (bull markets) and decline (bears), along with blips and market corrections, it has historically performed well. But, as you may know, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Understanding the direction the market is taking and having a carefully constructed long-term plan and diversified portfolio can help you manage market ebbs and flows and achieve sustained success.

Good decisions, traders.
