overbought/oversold indicator


Definition
A technical analysis tool that attempts to define when prices have moved too far and fast in either direction. This is usually calculated based on a moving average of the difference between the number of advancing and declining issues over a certain period of time. If the market is considered overbought, the technical analyst will sell, and if the market is considered oversold, he/she will buy.
