The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 47.89. The reading was at 39.20 yesterday. The RSI reading breaking above 50 would indicate intermediate-term upwards momentum. Meanwhile, both the MACD line and the signal line are negative, i.e. below zero, with the MACD reading at -78.04. This reading was at -90.13 yesterday. It is important to note that the MACD line has crossed over the signal line, hence indicating bullish sentiment.
