Each Monday, Stockhead recaps the ASX stocks that are running hot with investors.

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.

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.

One of the leader was market-darling Xero (ASX:XRO), which so far has posted gains on 11 out of 14 trading days in December.

The accounting software company’s latest rally has seen it climb from March lows of around $60 to close at new all-time highs above $155 on Friday.
