The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a critical technical indicator used by investors and traders to measure the speed and change of price movements of a security. Typically, the RSI calculates a ratio of recent upward price movements to the absolute price movement. It ranges between 0 to 100, with an RSI above 70 indicating that a stock is overbought and potentially overvalued, while an RSI below 30 signifies that it’s oversold or possibly undervalued.
By analyzing the RSI data of Futures & Options (F&O) stocks, we can predict potential price changes and detect bullish signs. In this instance, we focus on stocks with an RSI below 35, which could indicate a potential bullish swing in the market. The time period considered here to calculate the RSI is 14 days.
