Relative strength indexRelative strength indexA widely used index which compares a company's share price to a broadly-based market index like the FTSE All-Share. The point of the comparison is to show whether historically the company share price outperforms or underperforms the index.Because the RSI is a ratio, it will increase as a share moves higher relative to the market, and decrease as the share moves lower relative to the market. Its main use is to enable investors to avoid shares that have a history of relative underperformance and to chose those that have a history of relative outperformance.In commercial charts, the RSI is usually superimposed on the bottom third of the share price chart, or sometimes in its own box underneath the main chart.
