Overbought/oversold indicator

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.
