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.

 

Running Hot

There were 28 stocks with an RSI above 70 this week, down from 39 last week (which was the highest measure since the COVID-19 crisis emerged in late February).

The RSI has proved to be an indicator of broader market sentiment amid the spike in volatility.

When panic reached fever pitch the number of stocks on the list almost fell to zero. And the latest decline was accompanied by a tone of caution on markets, as the Small Ords index finished the week almost 5 per cent lower.

All eyes are on enigmatic oil & gas play Jupiter Energy (ASX:JPR), which rocketed to the top of the list following some head-turning gains (on no news) before going into a trading halt on Thursday.

Minnow gold explorer Bulletin Resources (ASX:BNR) also continued its hot streak. The stock has more than doubled since April 6, when the company announced mining had recommenced at the Geko gold project in WA.

Bulletin maintains a profit share and joint venture interest in the project, which was sold to private company Habrok Pty Ltd in February after its previous majority owner, Coolgardie Minerals, went into administration.

Running Cold

Although the broader market cooled off a bit last week, Stockhead‘s Running Cold list still dwindled from the week prior.

There were 48 stocks with an RSI below thirty, compared to 60 the week before.

One company that departed the list was recruitment platform Ignite (ASX:IGN), which last week posted an RSI of just 29.56.

But in similarly mysterious circumstances to Jupiter Energy, shares in Ignite ripped higher on Friday on no news, before the company went into a trading halt following an ASX price query.

In response, the company said it was not aware of any information that could explain the price action.
