When stocks in the materials sector appear oversold, it’s like discovering a hidden gem in a sea of stones – a rare opportunity to seize value in undervalued companies.
One way to gauge this oversold condition is through the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator that compares a stock’s strength on up days versus down days. A stock is deemed oversold when its RSI falls below 30, providing traders with insight into possible short-term performance.
