In trading on Friday, shares of the DFAC ETF (Symbol: DFAC) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $22.67 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In the case of DFAC, the RSI reading has hit 29.3 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 29.8. A bullish investor could look at DFAC's 29.3 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.
