# Show Overbought/Oversold
Overbought and oversold conditions are like signals that show when the market might be acting too extreme.
Our indicator has a "Show Overbought/Oversold" feature. When it's overbought, the background stripe turns green, and when it's oversold, it becomes red. The darker the color, the more extreme the market is.
**Overbought:**
The green background color is an indication that the market is overbought and it possibly can become bearish.
This happens when prices go up a lot, and it might mean the buyers are tired. It's like a warning that the price might come down.
**Oversold:**
The red background color is an indication that the market is oversold and it possibly can become bullish.
On the other hand, oversold means prices went down too much, and sellers might be getting too active. It's a sign that the price could go up again.
