In trading on Friday, shares of the Vanguard Value ETF (Symbol: VTV) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $135.48 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 Vanguard Value, the RSI reading has hit 29.5 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 38.3. A bullish investor could look at VTV's 29.5 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), VTV's low point in its 52 week range is $122.54 per share, with $151.89 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $136.12. Vanguard Value shares are currently trading off about 0.5% on the day.
