How this screen works

An RSI above 70 is conventionally read as overbought — the recent advance has been fast enough that a pause or pullback becomes more likely. But there's a twist every experienced trader knows: the strongest stocks get overbought and stay overbought, so a high RSI is also a strength screen.

This list serves both readings: mean-reversion traders scanning for stretched names to fade or to avoid chasing, and momentum traders using it as a shortlist of the market's most aggressive movers.

RSI(14) is computed with Wilder's smoothing from each stock's daily closes — the same calculation as the oversold screen, at the opposite threshold. Readings above 70 are conventionally overbought.

Stocks above 70 are listed, most extreme first, with the 1-month return alongside to show how much of the move is recent.

Overbought does not mean 'sell': in strong uptrends RSI can hold above 70 for weeks. Fading high RSI works in ranges and fails badly in trends — context first. Information, not advice.

FAQ

What does RSI above 70 mean?
RSI is a 0–100 momentum oscillator. Above 70 means the recent advance has been unusually fast — conventionally 'overbought', implying elevated pullback odds, though strong trends can sustain it.

Should I sell or short overbought stocks?
Not mechanically. Shorting strength is one of the most expensive habits in trading — the strongest uptrends stay overbought for long stretches. Mean-reversion on RSI works best in sideways markets. This is information, not advice.

Why would momentum traders use an overbought list?
Because the market's strongest stocks live here. A persistent RSI above 70 marks aggressive, sustained buying — exactly what momentum strategies seek. They buy pullbacks in these names rather than fading them.

How is RSI calculated here?
The standard 14-period RSI with Wilder's smoothing, computed from daily closing prices — identical to the oversold screen with the threshold at 70 instead of 30.
