BWX Enters Oversold Territory
ETF Channel Staff - Tuesday, September 6, 11:10 AMIn trading on Tuesday, shares of the BWX ETF (BWX) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $21.84 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In the case of BWX, the RSI reading has hit 27.5 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 34.5.
A bullish investor could look at BWX's 27.5 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.
