RSI signal worries investors
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), an indicator from technical analysis, can be used to determine whether a security is “overbought” or “oversold”. For this purpose, the upward and downward movements of an underlying asset are related over time. Let’s look at the RSI for the last 7 days for the Facebook shares, the value is currently 76.91. As a result, the security is overbought and we are therefore assigning a “sell” rating. The RSI of the last 25 trading days is less volatile than the RSI7 and complements our analysis with a longer-term view. In contrast to the RSI of the last 7 trading days, Facebook is neither overbought nor oversold on this basis. The different valuation of the stock for the 25-day RSI is therefore a “hold” rating. Overall, the analysis of the RSIs on Facebook thus provides a “sell” rating.
