RSI: The Overbought/Oversold Gauge, Used Properly

RSI: The Overbought/Oversold Gauge, Used Properly | Veqtio

RSI measures the speed of recent price changes on a 0–100 scale.
Above 70 is conventionally “overbought”, below 30 “oversold”.
It is one of the technical checks in every Veqtio stock report.

What it actually tells you

RSI does not predict reversals — it measures stretch. An oversold
stock in a healthy uptrend is often a buying opportunity; an oversold stock
in a downtrend can keep falling for months. Context decides everything.

The useful patterns

Divergence: price makes a new low but RSI makes a higher low —
selling pressure is exhausting. Range shifts: in bull phases RSI tends
to bottom near 40, not 30; in bear phases it tops near 60. Recognizing which
regime you are in beats using fixed thresholds.

What period is standard?

14 periods (days, on a daily chart). Shorter is more sensitive and
noisier; longer is smoother and slower.
