Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about today’s most overbought stocks by RSI on TheDesperateTrader.

What are the most overbought stocks today?
The most overbought stocks are those with the highest 14-day RSI (relative strength index), ranked from Wednesday, Oct 21. An RSI above 70 is the classic "overbought" threshold: the stock has risen fast relative to its recent range, which traders watch as extended and prone to a pause, pullback, or profit-taking.
What does overbought mean, and should I short it?
Overbought means momentum is stretched to the upside, not that a stock is a guaranteed short. Strong stocks can stay overbought for a long time in an uptrend. Traders use a high RSI as a caution flag: tighten stops, watch for exhaustion, or wait for a pullback rather than chasing. It is a signal, not a trade on its own.
How is this list filtered?
We compute RSI(14) from daily closes across every U.S. stock, then keep only liquid names (price of $1+ and at least $1M in dollar volume in the latest session). Results are ranked by dollar volume and update daily. The opposite extreme, oversold stocks with RSI below 30, is on our oversold page.
