Educational reference. Measured from 44 recorded 1 minute sessions of CL (Crude Oil), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 1 minute RSI on CL spends 4.9% of its time above 70, 90.2% between 30 and 70 and 4.9% below 30. It enters the upper zone about 16 separate times per session and the lower zone about 16.
The most time above 70 was on September 10, 2026 (11.4% of the session). The most time below 30 was on September 20, 2026 (15.6%).
Over the last 5 sessions the RSI spent 6.1% of its time above 70 and 4.0% below 30 — more time in the upper zone than its 44 session average of 4.9%.
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.
