• OVERSOLD
  
  A stock, a market sector, or an entire market may be described as oversold if it drops suddenly and dramatically in price, despite the fact that the country's economic outlook remains positive. For technical analysts, an oversold market is poised for a price rise, since there would be few sellers left to push the price down further.
