RSI Indicators
What it shows
A list of cryptocurrencies with the most extreme RSI(14) readings: overbought (RSI > 70) and oversold (RSI < 30) shown separately. RSI measures the speed and strength of recent price moves, helping spot coins that are overheated or heavily discounted.
How to read it
RSI is a momentum gauge, not a reversal oracle: in a strong trend a coin can stay overbought or oversold for a long time. The strongest read is an extreme RSI confirmed by a divergence with price. Practical takeaway: treat extreme RSI as a warning that the move is exhausting and a reason to watch more closely, not an automatic signal; look for confirmation in price and volume.
Parameters
- RSI(14)
- A 0–100 oscillator computed from the last 14 periods; measures price momentum.
- Positive reading: Below 30 (oversold): historically an area of exhausted selling, a bounce is possible.
- Negative reading: Above 70 (overbought): historically an area of exhausted buying, elevated pullback risk.
- Neutral reading: Between 30 and 70: neutral momentum, no extreme.
- Overbought list
- Coins with RSI above 70: they rose fast and may be temporarily overheated.
- Negative reading: The longer the list and the higher the values, the broader the market's short-term overheating.
- Oversold list
- Coins with RSI below 30: they fell hard and may be temporarily oversold.
- Positive reading: Many coins oversold at once often accompanies local market bottoms.
Example
A coin shows up on the oversold list with RSI 24 after three down days while price makes a higher low than before (bullish divergence), which is historically a setup that favors a slowdown of the decline. Meanwhile, RSI 82 on a vertical breakout is a warning of overheating and elevated pullback risk.
