Each Monday, Stockhead recaps which stocks are most heavily in demand by investors — running hot.

The analysis is based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a technical gauge which measures how trading momentum is affecting the price action.

A reading of 70 is seen as the level at which a company may have been overbought. If a stock has a reading of 30 or below, it could be undervalued.

Click here for a more detailed rundown of what the RSI does and how it’s used. While there’s usually a pretty good reason if a given stock is running hot (or cold), investors are also on the lookout for opportunities where the price-action has separated from fundamentals.

Here’s this week’s list:

Falling onto the Running Cold list was department store chain Myer (ASX:MYR), which hasn’t posted an intra-day gain since February 4.

After being mired in a quagmire for years amid the the structural challenges facing Australia’s retail industry, the company faired well for most of 2019 as the market approved of new CEO John King’s turnaround strategy.

But momentum came to a halt in September, and Myer — which was listed in 2009 with a market cap of $4.2bn — is now valued at just $311m.
