Overbought

We Are Milking EURAUD... Again!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. As per our two EURAUD analysis, we looked for shorts around the green structure and longs around the blue demand. What's next? 📈EURAUD has been trading within the rising broadening wedge marked in blue, and it is currently rejecting the upper bound of the wedge which we consider an over-bought zone. Moreover, the green zone is a strong structure and resistance. 🏹 Thus, the latest highlighted red circle is a strong area to look for sell setups as it is the intersection of the upper blue trendline and resistance. 📚 As per my trading style: As #EURAUD is around the red circle zone, I will be looking for bearish reversal setups (like a double top pattern, trendline break , and so on...) 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.

$Btc Rejected at $110K – Will $106K Hold or Is $95K Next? #BTC/USD is showing signs of another lower high after facing strong rejection near the $110,000 resistance zone. The price is currently testing the $106,000 support area, a level that may serve as a crucial retest zone. If buyers step in here, we could see a bullish rebound and potential push toward a new high. However, if $106K fails to hold, the next support zones to watch are $100K and $95K. A breakdown below $106K opens the door for a deeper correction, possibly targeting $95,000 – a key demand area from previous structure. Supporting this bearish pressure, the RSI is dropping from the overbought zone, signaling increasing selling momentum. Historically, such RSI movements have coincided with local tops and short-term pullbacks. 🔍 Key Levels: Resistance: $110,000 Support 1: $106,000 (retest zone) Support 2: $100,000 (psychological level) Support 3: $95,000 (major structure support) 📊 Outlook: Watch price action closely at $106K. A strong bounce could reignite bullish momentum. A break below this level may confirm the start of a deeper retracement.

$HOOD great product but short term pull back here $58-$60Hello, I have multiple time frames up here: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. I love Robinhood NASDAQ:HOOD as a broker, product and revolutionary company in the financial space. This is a great long term hold equity wise in my opinion but right now I am looking to short this name for a necessary pullback into $58-$60. It's overbought on the big time frames as you can see highlighted, it is possible it can break out of course but I believe with declining weekly volume this name will resort to some pullback. Also, Bitcoin can have some downside as well which will bring this name down with it. This ticker is volatile and can move 5-8% in either direction in just one session. I am looking for $60p about 3 weeks out, 6/20 date. WSL

SMI vs. Stochastic: Which One Gives You the Edge?Momentum indicators are essential tools in every trader’s arsenal—but not all are created equal. While the Stochastic Oscillator has been a go-to for decades, the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) offers a more refined and reliable way to read market momentum. In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between these two indicators, how we use them at Xuantify , and why the SMI might just give you the edge you’ve been looking for. 🧠 How We Use It at Xuantify We’re always looking for tools that offer greater precision and less noise . While the Stochastic Oscillator is one of the most commonly used tools for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) gives us a clearer, smoother view of momentum —especially in volatile or choppy markets. We use the SMI to refine our entries and exits , particularly when trading breakouts or reversals. MEXC:ETHUSDT.P ⭐ Key Features Stochastic Oscillator : Measures the closing price relative to the high-low range. Simple and responsive. Great for spotting short-term reversals. Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) : Measures the distance of the current close from the midpoint of the high-low range. Smoother and more centered around zero. Better at filtering out false signals. 💡 Benefits Compared to Other Indicators Stochastic Oscillator vs. SMI: Signal Smoothness: Moderate vs. High Noise Filtering: Low vs. Excellent Centered Oscillation: No vs. Yes (around 0) Best Use Case: Range-bound markets vs. Trend shifts & momentum confirmation False Signal Risk: Higher vs. Lower The SMI is especially useful when you want to avoid whipsaws and get a more reliable read on momentum . ⚙️ Settings That Matter Stochastic Oscillator : %K = 14, %D = 3 SMI : Length = 14, Signal Smoothing = 3, Double Smoothing = 3 You can adjust the SMI smoothing values to match the volatility of the asset— lower smoothing for fast markets , higher for slower ones. 📊 Enhancing Signal Accuracy Enhance SMI signals by combining them with: Trend filters like EMAs or Supertrend Volume confirmation Support/resistance zones Divergence spotting for early trend reversals This layered approach helps us avoid false positives and stay aligned with the broader trend . 🧩 Best Combinations with This Indicator SMI + EMA Crossovers: Confirm momentum with trend direction SMI + RSI Divergence: Spot early reversals with confluence SMI + Volume Profile: Validate momentum near key price levels ⚠️ What to Watch Out For Lag in fast markets: SMI’s smoothing can delay signals slightly Over-optimization: Avoid excessive tweaking of parameters Not ideal alone: Best used with confluence tools for confirmation 🚀 Final Thoughts The Stochastic Oscillator is a classic for a reason—but the Stochastic Momentum Index is a refined evolution .

GBPJPY - Bearish Control, Again!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. 📉As per our last GBPJPY analysis (attached on the chart), it rejected the upper red trendline and traded lower. What's next? GBPJPY is currently retesting the upper bound of the falling red channel again.

$COST earnings short, possible uptrend selloff(Sorry for mobile charts/posts) NASDAQ:COST Hello, looking at multiple time frames on Costco I am going to take a stab at a short. This name isn’t unfamiliar with big moves so an 8% to 10% move could take place here on earnings forecast. Granted, they could not divulge any details but I think that wouldn’t be good and amidst the tariff rhetoric which has been the narrative for retail names could add headwind. 6/6 $900p is what I will take a stab at. 1 contract will suffice as there could be a good R/R especially if you hedge. If you look at the Monthly chart this thing is bought up heavily. I am going to try and get a good entry so I’m not risking what I may feel is too much on an earnings “lotto.” $100-$150 on a contract will be good in my book. WSL

AERGO: Golden Pocket Hit – Crash Incoming?On April 3rd, AERGO hit a historic low of $0.04746—and just 13 days later, it's trading around $0.60, an astonishing +1500% surge in less than two weeks. The rapid rise begs the question: What are the bulls aiming for next, and how sustainable is this move? Key Observations: Explosive Rally: AERGO’s meteoric move from $0.04746 to $0.70 in just 13 days has propelled the coin into uncharted territory. Such a dramatic spike is not only eye-catching but also raises concerns about overextension. RSI Overbought: The daily RSI sits at 98, indicating extreme overbought conditions. This level suggests that the current rally is unsustainable and may be ripe for a pullback. Historical Resistance Levels: Looking back at 2021, key highs were established around $0.60 to $0.62. These levels serve as critical resistance zones. Fibonacci Confluence: Taking the Fibonacci retracement from the low at $0.04746 to the previous rally's high at $1.0809 (April 13, 2024), the 0.618 level is projected at $0.68613. The bulls just tested that golden pocket. Trade Strategy & Potential Setups: For Longs: With the market showing signs of being overbought (RSI at 98) and the explosive move possibly winding down, this may be the perfect opportunity to take profits rather than accumulate further. Take Profit Consideration: Target: Near the 0.618 fib retracement at $0.68613. Observation: If bulls push beyond this level, the move might extend — however, the risk of a sharp pullback is high given current overbought conditions. For Shorts: A corrective move is very much on the table, and traders looking to short should focus on the key resistance zone between $0.60 and $0.70. Short Setup: Entry: Look to initiate shorts near the $0.60–$0.70 zone. Target: $0.4 and $0.2 as take profit targets The Big Question: Will AERGO drop as sharply as it surged? Given the extreme overbought conditions and the rapid, unsustainable spike, a healthy—and perhaps brutal—correction seems very possible. Keep a close eye on volume and price action near the $0.60–$0.70 resistance zone and be ready to adjust positions accordingly. Anyone riding this wave has experienced one of the wildest moves in recent memory. For those in long positions, consider taking profits now; for potential short traders, watch those key levels tightly. The market's rhythm will soon reveal its next chapter.

Another tariff u-turn: Oil overbought on news? President Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries that have not retaliated, sparking a sharp rally in U.S. markets. The Nasdaq 100 led gains with a 12.2% surge. The U.S. dollar also strengthened against safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese yen and Swiss franc. Crude oil prices rebounded alongside equities, with oil futures rising more than 4% to trade above $62 per barrel. However, the strength of the oil rally may be overstated. China, one of the world’s largest oil consumers, was among the first to retaliate against U.S. tariffs. Tensions between Washington and Beijing have worsened, prompting the U.S. to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%. Adding to the caution, analysts at Goldman Sachs revised down their 2026 average price forecasts for Brent and WTI, citing rising recession risks. The bank now expects Brent to average $58 per barrel and WTI to average $55.

How Do Traders Identify Overbought and Oversold Stocks?How Do Traders Identify Overbought and Oversold Stocks? Identifying overbought and oversold stocks is a key part of technical analysis for traders. These conditions occur when a market’s price moves to extremes—either too high or too low—compared to its recent performance. By recognising these signals, traders can spot potential turning points in the market. This article explores what overbought and oversold stocks are, how to find them using technical indicators, and the risks involved in trading them. What Is an Oversold Stock? Oversold stocks are those that have experienced a significant price decline, often beyond what might seem reasonable based on their underlying value. This often happens when market sentiment is overly negative, even if the company’s fundamentals remain solid. Several factors can lead to a stock becoming oversold. For instance, bad news about a company, such as a missed earnings report or legal troubles, can cause investors to sell off shares quickly. Broader market events, like economic downturns or changes in industry regulations, can also drive prices down across the board. Sometimes, even strong stocks get caught up in these waves of negativity. The concept of overselling isn’t just about price falling, though—it’s about the potential for a reversal. When stocks fall too fast, too far compared to their actual financial performance or growth potential, this is where traders look for opportunities, analysing whether the market is poised for a potential recovery. What Is an Overbought Stock? Overbought stocks are those that have risen sharply in price, often to a point where they may no longer reflect the stock’s true value. When a stock is considered overbought, it means there’s been a lot of buying activity, pushing the price higher than what its fundamentals might justify. This often happens when market sentiment is extremely positive, driving demand even when shares may already be trading at high levels. Several factors can lead to an overbought market. Sometimes, positive news about a company—such as strong earnings, new product launches, or positive analyst reports—can spark a wave of buying. Market-wide optimism, particularly during bullish phases, can also lead to an overbought stock market. Speculative buying, where traders hope to capitalise on short-term price movements, can further inflate the price. Being overbought doesn’t necessarily mean the stock is due for an immediate correction, but it does suggest that the price may have gone too high, too quickly. The most overbought stocks are often viewed as being in a vulnerable position for a potential pullback, especially if there isn’t enough underlying support from the company’s financial health or growth prospects. Traders consider this an opportunity to sell stocks at potentially good prices. How Traders Find Oversold and Overbought Stocks with Indicators Traders use technical indicators to determine whether a stock might be undervalued (oversold) or overvalued (overbought) based on its price action. These indicators allow traders to assess whether a price movement has gone too far in one direction. Technical indicators are tools that use historical price and volume data to measure things like price momentum and trend strength. When it comes to finding overbought or oversold stocks, momentum oscillators play a key role. These oscillators measure the speed and magnitude at which an asset’s price is changing. If a market has been rising or falling too quickly, it could be a sign that it’s either overbought or oversold. Also, if a stock has moved too far away from its typical price range, it signals a possible reversal. Traders rely on indicators to determine when the price may be at an extreme, helping them find entry or exit points based on market conditions. Now, let’s break down some of the most popular indicators used for this purpose. Relative Strength Index (RSI) The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most widely used overbought and oversold indicators. The RSI is a momentum indicator that gauges how fast and how much a stock's price is moving. It gives traders a visual signal of when a stock may have been pushed too far in either direction. RSI compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses to assess whether a stock is overbought or oversold. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to evaluate whether a stock is moving too fast in either direction. If the RSI falls below 30, the stock is considered oversold, suggesting it could be undervalued and due for a bounce. If the RSI rises above 70, the stock is seen as in an overbought zone, potentially signalling a price correction on the horizon. While RSI can be helpful, it’s essential to look at it in the context of the broader market. For example, in a strong bull market, a stock might remain overbought for an extended period. Similarly, during a downturn, stocks can stay oversold longer than expected. Stochastic Oscillator The Stochastic Oscillator is another momentum indicator. It compares a stock's closing price to its price range over a certain period. The idea behind this indicator is that in an uptrend, prices will close near their highs, and in a downtrend, prices will close near their lows. The Stochastic Oscillator helps traders identify when a stock’s price has potentially moved too far in either direction relative to its recent range. It’s similar in principle to the RSI, except the Stochastic is considered more useful for detecting shorter-term reversals. It’s especially useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions because it moves within a range — between 0 and 100 — similar to the RSI. The Stochastic Oscillator is made up of two lines: %K, which is the primary line, and %D, a moving average of %K. When these lines are above 80, the stock is considered overbought. When they are below 20, it’s considered oversold. Given its sensitivity, it’s common to see the Stochastic signals a market is overextended for a longer period when there’s a strong trend. This makes it more prone to false signals than the RSI or MACD indicator and typically more useful for trading pullbacks in a broader trend. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is another popular overbought and oversold indicator. Unlike the RSI, which focuses primarily on oversold vs overbought levels, MACD is more about trend strength and its direction. It shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset’s price and can help identify potential shifts in momentum. The MACD consists of two lines: the MACD line (which is the difference between the 12-day and 26-day exponential moving averages) and the signal line (the 9-day moving average of the MACD line). When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it indicates a potential bullish reversal. When it crosses below, it signals a bearish reversal. Since the lines are based on the difference between two EMAs, it’s also possible to gauge an overbought/oversold stock by examining the distance of the lines between their current values and the 0 midpoint. If the lines are far away from 0 and their historical averages, it could indicate a stock is overbought or oversold. However, generally speaking, MACD is less about pinpointing specific overbought/oversold levels and more about identifying when momentum is shifting. A rapid crossover of the lines, especially after a strong move, can signal that a reversal might be near. Considerations When Using Momentum Indicators While momentum indicators like the RSI and MACD can be useful for spotting overextended stocks, there are a couple of key points to keep in mind when using these oversold and overbought indicators: Divergences A divergence occurs when the price moves in the opposite direction to the indicator. For example, if a stock is making higher highs but the indicator is making lower highs, this can signal weakening momentum and a possible reversal. Divergences offer another layer of insight, so it's worth paying attention to them alongside other factors. Timeframes Different timeframes can produce different results. An indicator that shows a stock is oversold on a daily chart might not show the same on a weekly chart. It's important to choose the right timeframe for your trading strategy, whether short-term or long-term. Generally, many traders take a top-down approach, allowing higher timeframe signals to better inform your analysis on lower timeframes. Risks of Trading Oversold and Overbought Stocks Trading oversold and overbought stocks can be appealing, as these conditions often suggest a potential reversal in price. However, there are some risks to consider when relying on these signals. A few important points to bear in mind include: - False Signals: Just because a market is oversold or overbought doesn’t guarantee a reversal. Prices can continue to decline or rise despite what momentum indicators suggest. Traders need to be cautious about assuming that every extreme condition will result in a price correction. - Extended Trends: In strong bullish or bearish trends, a stock can remain in overbought or oversold territory for longer than expected. This can lead to premature trades, where investors get in too early or expect a reversal that doesn’t come for a while. - Market Sentiment: Sometimes, external factors like news events or broader economic conditions can overpower technical indicators. If there’s overwhelming optimism or pessimism in the market, a stock may continue in its overbought or oversold condition for longer than anticipated. - Lack of Confirmation: Relying on a single indicator can be risky. It’s common to use multiple indicators or combine technical and fundamental analysis for a more balanced view. There may be no other supporting signals when a stock is oversold, meaning the trade carries higher risk. The Bottom Line Understanding overbought and oversold stocks, along with the indicators used to identify them, can help traders spot potential market opportunities. While these conditions may signal a reversal, it’s important to recognise there is no one best overbought and oversold indicator and use multiple tools for confirmation.

FAQ What Is Overbought and Oversold? Overbought and oversold are terms used to describe extreme price movements in markets. A stock is considered overbought when its price has risen rapidly and above its underlying value, which potentially makes it overvalued. It’s oversold when the price has fallen sharply and below its underlying value, which makes it undervalued. These conditions can signal that a price reversal may be coming, though they don’t guarantee it. What Does It Mean for a Stock to Be Overbought? The overbought stock meaning refers to a stock that has increased quickly and is potentially trading higher than its actual value. This often occurs due to strong demand or market optimism. Overbought conditions might signal that the price is at risk of a pullback. What Does It Mean When a Stock Is Oversold? The oversold stock meaning refers to a stock that has dropped significantly and may be below its true value. This often happens when there’s been excessive selling, and it could suggest that its price is due for a rebound. How Can You Find Oversold Stocks? Traders often use technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to find the most oversold stocks. An RSI reading below 30 typically suggests that a stock is oversold and may present a buying opportunity. Other indicators, like the Stochastic Oscillator, are also commonly used to identify oversold conditions. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.
