The 14-day RSI of 47.1 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $11.04, about 1.5% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.

Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
