- What is Relative Strength?
Relative Strength (RS) is a technical analysis concept that measures how one security or index is performing relative to another – for example, how a financial ETF is performing relative to a utilities ETF. It can be gauged in various ways, including simple performance comparisons and more complex charting techniques such as
Point and Figure . On this site, we emphasize Point and Figure, but also provide performance and other comparisons.
