The relative strength index (RSI) can be used to gauge momentum in the markets, allowing traders to identify whether a stock is overbought or oversold.

The MACD indicator is derived from moving averages and other calculations. This indicator can be used to better understand momentum, determine the strength of a move, and pinpoint reversals.
