In trading on Thursday, shares of the iShares MSCI Germany ETF (NYSE:EWG) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $24.7922 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.

In the case of iShares MSCI Germany, the RSI reading has hit 29.6 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 30.6.

A bullish investor could look at EWG's 29.6 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.

Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), EWG's low point in its 52 week range is $21.052 per share, with $29.56 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $24.82. iShares MSCI Germany shares are currently trading down about 1.1% on the day.
