What is the Monthly RSI?
The monthly RSI applies the classic Relative Strength Index to monthly closes, giving a slow read on long-horizon momentum from 0 to 100.
Low monthly RSI (oversold) has historically formed near cycle bottoms; very high monthly RSI (overbought) has appeared near tops. The monthly frame filters out short-term noise.
On the monthly chart, RSI turns slowly — readings can sit oversold for months around a bottom.

| Neutral | ~40 – 70 | Normal momentum range. |
