The closes

Oldest first, split by commas or spaces. At least 33 closes for this period.
14 is common. It sets both the RSI and the range it is measured in.

The stochastic RSI

The stochastic RSI is 95.6 (%K), with %D at 96.1. %K is above 80, where many traders call it overbought.

The RSI under it
The 14-bar RSI is 78.1. Before smoothing, it sits 100% of the way up its range over the last 14 bars.
The two lines
%K is below %D, and flat from 95.6 on the bar before.
How it is read
Many traders read above 80 as stretched up and below 20 as stretched down, and a cross of %K over %D as a turn. Because it measures the RSI against itself, it reaches the extremes far more often than the RSI does.
Read it with care
It is fast and noisy: in a trend it can sit at 100 or 0 for many bars, so many traders only act on its turns in the direction of the trend.

An oscillator of an oscillator

Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll published the stochastic RSI in 1994. The RSI often spends weeks between 30 and 70 without reaching either level. The stochastic RSI asks a sharper question: where is today's RSI within its own high and low of the last 14 bars? The answer runs from 0 to 100 and is smoothed over 3 bars into %K, and again into %D.
