In trading on Friday, shares of the Invesco DWA Momentum ETF (Symbol: PDP) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $79.32 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 Invesco DWA Momentum, the RSI reading has hit 29.8 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 42.5. A bullish investor could look at PDP's 29.8 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.
