Overbought / Oversold
Conditions where a stock has moved too far too fast — overbought suggests it may pull back, oversold suggests it may bounce.
Explained Simply
Overbought and oversold are relative terms, not absolute signals. RSI above 70 is traditionally "overbought" and below 30 is "oversold." But in strong uptrends, stocks can stay overbought for weeks. The most reliable signals come from overbought/oversold readings combined with other confirmations: divergences, support/resistance levels, volume patterns, or candlestick reversals. Mean reversion strategies systematically buy oversold and sell overbought conditions.
How Tradewink Uses Overbought / Oversold
Overbought/oversold conditions are a primary trigger for mean reversion signals. The AI combines RSI, Bollinger Band position, and distance from VWAP to create a composite overbought/oversold score. Extreme oversold readings (RSI <25 + lower Bollinger Band touch + below VWAP) generate high-conviction bounce signals.
