Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in financial markets.
- The RSI is calculated using the following formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Where RS is the ratio of the average gains to the average losses over a specified period.
- The default time period used is 14 days.
- RSI values range between 0 and 100.
RSI values above 70 are considered overbought (indicating a potentially opportune time to sell)
RSI values below 30 are considered oversold (indicating a potentially opportune time to buy)
RSI is not a perfect indicator and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, this is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional financial advice.
About
Jefferies Financial Group (JEF) Business Model and Operations Summary
Jefferies is a full-service investment banking and capital markets firm that was founded in 1962. After nearly 30 years of focusing on institutional trading services, it entered the investment banking industry in the early 1990s, which ultimately grew into the core business. In 2013, Jefferies merged with Leucadia, a manufacturing-focused holding company. Since merging, Jefferies became the bedrock of the business as the bulk of the legacy portfolio was sold off and the parent company was renamed to match the subsidiary. Within the investment banking landscape, Jefferies predominately serves the North American middle market and has captured considerable market share over the past decade.
