I was originally taught to use RSI as a swing trading tool, helping me to identify when the price of a particular asset was overextended to the upside and downside.\u00a0And, on the swing trading time frame, that approach very much works, especially if you employ a shorter time period for the indicator. However, RSI can also be used for longer-term time frames, helping investors to better define trend phases and identify broader shifts in momentum, and today we\u2019ll break down three charts that show how this application of the RSI could help you stay on the right side of strong uptrends!<\/p>\n

HubSpot Inc. (HUBS)<\/h2>\n

Earlier this week, on my daily market recap show<\/a>, I was asked about HubSpot, which has recently become overbought.\u00a0The viewer was concerned about potential downside given the overbought conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What we reviewed was that while an RSI above 70 is considered overbought, an RSI above 80 is considered \u201cextremely overbought\u201d, or what we would often call \u201cthe good kind of overbought.\u201d\u00a0Why consider such a high RSI to be a bullish tell? Just look to the left on the chart of HUBS, at similar readings in June 2023 and December 2023.\u00a0In both cases, the stock briefly pulled back soon after.\u00a0And in both cases, the stock went on to make a new 52-week high within a month.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA)<\/h2>\n

Another stock that has shown a similar run of \u201cthe good kind of overbought\u201d signals is Nvidia.\u00a0There have been three such occurrences over the last two years, and, in every instance, these signals have occurred not at the end of the uptrend phase, but in the middle!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting here that Nvidia, along with most other semiconductor stocks, are nowhere near the overbought region given their recent weakness.\u00a0NVDA is actually featuring the dreaded \u201cbearish momentum divergence<\/a>\u201d which often serves as a leading indicator of a bearish rotation!<\/span><\/p>\n

GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY)<\/h2>\n

GoDaddy is another chart which has recently shown an RSI level above the 80 threshold.\u00a0And while that could mean a brief countertrend pullback is in store, it also suggests that the long-term uptrend may still be in place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The last time GDDY saw an RSI above 80 was in November 2023, just before an incredible bullish phase that arguably is still in place in November 2024.\u00a0So while I could see a short-term pullback as a reasonable expectation between now and year-end, this configuration also serves to reinforce the broader uptrend phase that is still active.<\/p>\n

As I was first learning technical analysis back in the day, I thought chart reading was all about finding signals and just blindly following them.\u00a0Over the years, I\u2019ve come to appreciate that indicators like RSI have layers of value.\u00a0 Mindless investors take indicators at face value.\u00a0Mindful investors have learned to dig deeper and appreciate the values of learning from previous market cycles!<\/p>\n
