What is RSI and how to read it?

RSI (Relative Strength Index) — Relative Strength Index. Shows the speed and magnitude of recent price movements. Scale 0–100. RSI > 70 — traditionally “overbought” (too much recent growth), RSI < 30 — «перепроданность» (слишком много падения). RSI = 50 — нейтральная зона.

The map above shows the RSI(14) at daily closes for the top 50 cryptocurrencies by open interest. The calculation is based on our OHLCV data. Binance USDT margin perp. Overbought coins are collected in the red column, oversold ones in the green column. Neutral ones are in gray.

The RSI doesn't predict a reversal on its own. The price can remain overbought for weeks during a strong trend. But the RSI is excellent for **divergences**: the price makes a new high, but the RSI is below the previous peak—the bullish momentum is running out of steam. This is a classic signal for a partial takeover.

RSI Heatmap Setups

Mass resale

When there are 15+ coins in the red column, the market is euphoric. This isn't a signal to "short everything," but it is a reason to lock in profits and tighten stops. Historically, this state is often followed by a correction within 1-3 weeks.

Mass resale

When there are a lot of coins in the green column, the market is in panic. A contrarian signal: statistically, after this state, a rebound occurs within 5-10 days. A good time to accumulate high-quality alts.

Divergence of groups

If BTC in the 50 zone, and half of the alt-markets are overbought—alt-seasonal euphoria without a foundation. Often ends with a sharp sell-off of alt-markets and a return to BTCIt's better to be in quality coins with an RSI of 50–60.
