Identifying Oversold Stocks: Opportunities in the Financial Sector

Investors should take note: the most oversold stocks in the financial sector may offer opportunities to purchase undervalued companies.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) serves as a momentum indicator. This tool compares a stock’s strength on days when prices rise to its strength on days when prices fall. By analyzing the RSI alongside a stock’s price movement, traders can gain insights into short-term performance. Typically, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI falls below 30, according to Benzinga Pro.
