    Overbought and oversold are just simple ways to describe when a stock price has moved too much, either too high or too low.

    A stock is overbought when:

    • Too many people are buying it

    • The price has gone up too fast

    It may soon come down (price drop)

    For Example:
    Like when a bag of rice suddenly jumps too high in price, people will stop buying, and price may fall.

    and…

    A stock is oversold when:

    • Too many people are selling

    • The price has dropped too much

    It may soon go up (price rise)

    For Example:
    Like when tomatoes are too cheap in the market, people rush to buy, and price can rise again.

    Here is my Advice:

    • Overbought = be careful (price may fall)

    • Oversold = look closely (may be opportunity)

    But don’t just jump in, always understand why the price moved.

    and Buy when value is low, not when noise is high.

    Overbought means a stock has gone up too fast, and too many people are buying it.
    Oversold means a stock has dropped too much, and too many people are selling it.

    Think of it like this:
    If everyone is rushing to buy something, the price can become too high.
    If everyone is rushing to sell, the price can become too low.

    But don’t rely on this alone, always understand the company behind the stock.
