Each week, Stockhead provides a summary of outliers 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.

Here’s this week’s list:
Running Hot
Energy supplier Pacific Energy (ASX: PEA) ran hot this week, but it wasn’t driven by technical momentum. PEA received a takeover off at a healthy premium, which was unanimously recommended by the board.
The company has entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with a subsidiary of the Queensland Investment Corporation to acquire PEA for a total consideration of 97.5 cents per share, which was a premium of almost 40 per cent to its opening price on Wednesday.
Health and beauty products group McPherson’s Limited (ASX: MCP) also ran hot after beating on profit guidance last week and announcing a new joint venture.
And something is happening at gold explorer Spectrum Metals (ASX: SPX), which had to answer an ASX price query in mid-July and just strung together eight straight positive trading sessions. Investors that got in early have made a gain of more than 1,000 per cent this year.
