Indicators describe where price sits relative to its own history. They are not forecasts and not financial advice. Past cycle behaviour is no guarantee of future cycles.
Weeks and months in progress
Wilder's 14-period RSI on Bitstamp daily closes grouped into Monday-to-Sunday weeks and calendar months. The week or month in progress counts with the latest close, like the live bar on a chart, so its value moves daily and settles when the period ends. Monthly RSI read above 90 at the 2013, 2017 and April 2021 tops, but only 74 in November 2021 and 72 in 2025.
