Etymology
The term 'oversold' originated in the early 20th century as part of financial jargon used by traders and market analysts. The prefix 'over-' indicates an excessive quantity, while 'sold' refers to the act of selling. As trading has evolved, the application of the term expanded beyond mere selling, intertwining with technical analysis concepts to assess market conditions. By the late 20th century, the term became widely recognized in stock trading contexts, particularly as new analysis tools and indicators emerged to identify oversold conditions. This evolution has reflected broader trends in financial literacy and the democratization of trading strategies among individual investors.
