Stochastic RSI (STOCH-RSI)


The Stochastic RSI (StochRSI) is a technical indicator that measures the momentum of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), rather than price itself. It is created by applying the Stochastic Oscillator formula to a set of RSI values. The result is a more sensitive oscillator that fluctuates between 0 and 100, designed to identify short-term overbought and oversold conditions with greater frequency than the standard RSI. This increased sensitivity allows traders to pinpoint potential entry and exit points within a broader trend identified by the RSI.
