The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a financial technical analysis oscillator showing price strength by comparing upward and downward close-to-close movements.

The RSI is popular because it is relatively easy to interpret. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder and published in Commodities magazine (now called Futures magazine) in June 1978, and in his New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems the same year.

Note that the term relative strength also refers to the strength of a security in relation to the overall market or to its sector. For instance XYZ might rise 2% when the rest of the market rises 1%. This is sometimes called relative strength comparative to avoid confusion.
