RSI
A gauge from 0 to 100 that shows how strong recent price moves up have been compared with moves down.
The fuller meaning
The Relative Strength Index, usually 14 periods, compares recent average gains with losses on a 0 to 100 scale. Readings above 70 are called overbought and below 30 oversold, but in strong trends RSI can stay there a long time; divergence with price warns of fading momentum.
RSI, also called relative strength index.
