The materials sector is always an interesting area to watch for investors, as it often reflects the state of the economy and global trends. As of March 5, 2024, there are five stocks in the materials sector that are flashing a warning signal for investors who value momentum in their trading decisions.
One key indicator that traders use to gauge momentum is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator compares a stock’s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When the RSI value is above 70, it is typically considered overbought.
