SCHF Getting Very Oversold

In trading on Tuesday, shares of the SCHF ETF (Symbol: SCHF) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $33.86 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 SCHF, the RSI reading has hit 28.8 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 30.0. A bullish investor could look at SCHF's 28.8 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.
