Despite the volatility, stock markets never fail to attract traders, and on that note, we have shortlisted some lightweights of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Let's take a look at them:

According to Refinitiv data, the technology company's Relative Strength Index (RSI) value is 37.3. On April 29, the TOI stock had declined by 1.1 per cent and closed at C$ 79.9 per share.

Some analysts believe that an RSI value of 30 or less represents an oversold stock condition. However, the TOI stock doesn't appear to be witnessing that condition.

If the technology sector surges in future, the stock could reach the level of an uptrend, which is often considered above the RSI value of 40.
