Stockhead’s Hot Money Monday 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 look-out for opportunities where the price action has separated from fundamentals.

Mortgage broking franchise Mortgage Choice (ASX:MOC) ran hot last week since receiving a $244 million takeover offer from REA Group (ASX:REA).
