Educational reference. Measured from 18 recorded 15 minute sessions of RTY (RTY), September 30 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 15 minute RSI on RTY spends 2.5% of its time above 70, 90.5% between 30 and 70 and 7.0% 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 October 2, 2026 (9.0% of the session). The most time below 30 was on October 16, 2026 (33.8%).
Over the last 5 sessions the RSI spent 2.4% of its time above 70 and 1.2% below 30 — less time in the upper zone than its 18 session average of 2.5%.
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.
