RSI below 30 — oversold condition for potential bounce.
RSI(14) is calculated as 100 minus (100 divided by 1 plus the ratio of average gains to average losses over the last 14 bars). A reading below 30 means average losses have significantly outpaced average gains over the past 14 weeks — a persistent selling imbalance. on the 1-Hour timeframe, this condition requires 14 weeks of price data. The screen does not require RSI to have just crossed below 30; it flags stocks currently sitting in the sub-30 range regardless of how long they have been there. Stocks with RSI readings below 20 are deeper extremes but not separately filtered here.
Weekly RSI below 30 is a structural condition, not a timing signal. The key distinction: stocks that are temporarily oversold due to broad market selloffs tend to bounce when sentiment recovers; stocks oversold because of fundamental deterioration may stay below 30 indefinitely while the business declines. This screen cannot make that distinction. The failure mode for mean-reversion trades is the latter scenario — buying a stock in a fundamental downtrend and watching it grind lower with RSI staying below 30 for months. Position traders using this screen typically require a fundamental catalyst or price-action reversal confirmation before entering. On shorter timeframes, sub-30 RSI is a faster, noisier signal. For a bounce already in progress, see RSI Oversold Bounce. For a compound capitulation signal with volume and body confirmation, see RSI Oversold Bounce + Capitulation.
