Oversold Buying

Definition

Oversold buying occurs when investors purchase an asset after its price has experienced a significant decline, pushing it into an “oversold” condition according to technical indicators. This buying activity is predicated on the belief that the asset’s price has fallen below its intrinsic value and is due for a rebound. It often signals a potential reversal point in market trends, as sellers become exhausted and new buying interest emerges. This strategy capitalizes on perceived temporary market weakness.
