ILS Crosses Critical Technical Indicator
In trading on Wednesday, shares of the ILS ETF (Symbol: ILS) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $19.76 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 ILS, the RSI reading has hit 19.6 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 38.8. A bullish investor could look at ILS's 19.6 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.
Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), ILS's low point in its 52 week range is $19.68 per share, with $22.7599 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $19.77. ILS shares are currently trading down about 1.8% on the day.
