When RSI(14) slips below 40 without yet reaching classic oversold levels, it usually means a stock is losing momentum and buyers are stepping back. This scan lists NSE stocks reading under 40 today.
Some traders use RSI < 40 as an early warning to avoid or exit weakening names; contrarians watch this zone in otherwise strong stocks for the start of a pullback-buy setup.
A falling RSI can keep falling. Below 40 is a sign of fading strength, not a reversal signal — confirm with price structure before acting.

It indicates weakening momentum. The stock is not yet oversold (below 30) but buyers have clearly lost the upper hand over the last 14 sessions.
Sometimes — in a stock still trading above its long-term moving averages, a dip to RSI below 40 can be a healthy pullback. In a downtrend it is more often a warning.
