What the rsi overbought drop is
RSI rose above 70, then fell back below it. Buying may be tiring.
Run up a hill as fast as you can and soon you need a breather. RSI is a gauge from 0 to 100 that shows how hard price has been pushed lately. Above 70 means price was pushed up very hard, and dropping back below 70 hints the buyers may be tiring.
