Common questions about PDT
Is this page a buy or sell recommendation?
No. This page is designed to help you review chart structure, momentum and technical context more quickly, but it is not personal financial advice.
Why can a stock look bullish and overbought at the same time?
Strong trending stocks can still become stretched in the short term. That is why trend traders and dip buyers can read the same chart differently.
