Educational reference. Measured from 37 recorded 10 minute sessions of MNQ (Micro E mini Nasdaq 100), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 10 minute RSI on MNQ spends 6.7% of its time above 70, 87.7% between 30 and 70 and 5.7% below 30. It enters the upper zone about 2 separate times per session and the lower zone about 1.
The most time above 70 was on September 21, 2026 (48.6% of the session). The most time below 30 was on October 14, 2026 (26.8%).
Over the last 5 sessions the RSI spent 3.2% of its time above 70 and 5.7% below 30 — less time in the upper zone than its 37 session average of 6.7%.
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.
