Positional trading is a popular strategy among traders, who aim to hold onto their positions for a longer period of time in order to capture larger price movements in the market. One of the key elements of successful positional trading is the use of technical indicators to inform trading decisions.

It ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 30 indicating oversold conditions. RSI is a useful tool for identifying potential trend reversals, and traders often use it in conjunction with other indicators to confirm a trade.
