 ==== Relative Strength Index (RSI) ==== ==== Relative Strength Index (RSI) ====
 A popular oscillator developed by Welles Wilder, Jr. and described in his 1978 book //New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems//. RSI is plotted on a vertical scale from 0 to 100. Values above 70 are considered overbought and values below 30, oversold. When prices are over 70 or below 30 and diverge from price action, a warning is given of a possible trend reversal. See our ChartSchool article on [[:​technical_indicators:​relative_strength_index_rsi|Relative Strength Index]]. A popular oscillator developed by Welles Wilder, Jr. and described in his 1978 book //New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems//.

 +==== Relative Volume (RVOL) ====
 +Relative Volume compares volume data for each price bar with the average volume over a specified number of prior bars. The RVOL ratio produced allows chartists to easily spot setups where unusually high or low volume is powering a price move. When the indicator value is greater than one, the volume is higher than average; conversely, a value less than one means lower than average volume. See our ChartSchool article on [[:​technical_indicators:​rvol|Relative Volume (RVOL)]].
 +
 +==== Relative Volume - Price Plot (RVOL-PP) ====
 +Calculated just like the classic Relative Volume (RVOL) indicator, this overlay indicates right on the price plot which price bars have an RVOL comparative volume ratio above or below a user-specified value. See our ChartSchool article on [[:​technical_indicators:​rvol|Relative Volume (RVOL)]].
 +
 +==== Relative Volume - Time of Day (RVOL-TOD) ====
 +A twist on the classic Relative Volume (RVOL) indicator, the RVOL-TOD indicator compares volume for the current intraday bars with prior bars at the same time of day. For example, on a 5-minute chart, the RVOL-TOD value for today'​s 9:30 bar would compare volume for that bar with the average volume on previous 9:30 AM 5-minute bars. See our ChartSchool article on [[:​technical_indicators:​rvol|Relative Volume (RVOL)]].
