RSI line; It consists of a line that fluctuates between 0 and 100 and takes values within this range. The region below 30 is considered the oversold region, and the region above 70 is considered the overbought region. The most common use is the 14-period usage, which is also preferred by its developer.The fact that the RSI line is in the oversold zone is a result of a falling trend being observed, decreasing interest and demand for the market, resulting in too many oversold transactions. The next expectation is that the buyers will increase and the price will increase. On the contrary, the fact that the RSI line is in the overbought region is a result of an increasing trend, increasing the interest and demand for the market, as a result of which there are too many buying transactions. The next expectation is that the sellers will increase and the price will decrease.
