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:**&#x20;

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:**&#x20;

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.
