Educational reference. Measured from 52 recorded 15 minute sessions of BTCUSD (Bitcoin), September 3 to October 24, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 15 minute RSI on BTCUSD spends 5.0% of its time above 70, 90.7% between 30 and 70 and 4.4% below 30. It enters the upper zone about 1 separate times per session and the lower zone about 1.
The most time above 70 was on September 18, 2026 (41.7% of the session). The most time below 30 was on October 22, 2026 (26.0%).
Over the last 5 sessions the RSI spent 3.1% of its time above 70 and 8.8% below 30 — less time in the upper zone than its 52 session average of 5.0%.
RSI compares the size of recent gains with recent losses, so a reading above 70 says buying has dominated the last 14 bars — not that price is high. A long stay above 70 is a market trending up, which is the opposite of the reversal the word 'overbought' suggests.
A brief excursion above 70 that resolves in minutes is noise on this timeframe. A sustained one is the signature of a trend that is still running, and selling into it is how traders get run over.
