Educational reference. Measured from 37 recorded 5 minute sessions of MCL (Micro Crude Oil), September 3 to October 22, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 5 minute RSI on MCL spends 6.2% of its time above 70, 87.3% between 30 and 70 and 6.5% below 30. It enters the upper zone about 3 separate times per session and the lower zone about 4.
The most time above 70 was on September 10, 2026 (20.7% of the session). The most time below 30 was on September 20, 2026 (50.7%).
Over the last 5 sessions the RSI spent 9.1% of its time above 70 and 2.8% below 30 — more time in the upper zone than its 37 session average of 6.2%.
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.
