Relative Strength Index (14)
The Relative Strength Index (14) is a momentum oscillators indicator used in Skyrexio Strategy Builder for momentum analysis and overbought/oversold identification.
Introduction
The Relative Strength Index (14) is a momentum oscillators indicator used in Skyrexio Strategy Builder for momentum analysis and overbought/oversold identification. Measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. Oscillates between 0-100. Values above 70 indicate overbought conditions, below 30 indicate oversold conditions. Used to identify potential reversal points.
How Relative Strength Index (14) Works
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. to measure the speed and magnitude of price changes. Calculation: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)), where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over 14 periods. RSI oscillates between 0 and 100.
In crypto strategy building, RSI is used for:
• Overbought/Oversold conditions - RSI > 70 suggests overbought (potential sell), RSI < 30 suggests oversold (potential buy) • Divergence analysis - Price makes new highs/lows while RSI doesn't, indicating potential reversal • Trend strength - RSI staying above 50 indicates bullish momentum, below 50 indicates bearish momentum • Breakout confirmation - RSI breaking above 50 or key levels confirms trend changes
RSI is most effective in ranging markets and for identifying potential reversal points in volatile cryptocurrency markets.
