The rule
14-day RSI closes above 70 after being at or below it the day before. An RSI reading over 70 is the most widely quoted "overbought" signal in technical analysis.
Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
