As the calendar year turns, don't expect technology stocks to match 2023's blowout gains, but the year's performance is no fluke. AI stocks may dominate tech-focused investing, but don't sleep on the other emerging themes.

☆ Here are the most overbought and oversold S&P 500 stocks, including several tech names
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

One metric to determine if a stock is overbought or oversold is the "relative strength index," which measures the magnitude and speed of price moves. An equity with a 14-day RSI under 30 is considered oversold, which means it may be an opportunity to buy. Meanwhile, those with a 14-day RSI above 70 are considered overbought — and the names could be due for a pause. CNBC Pro screened for S & P 500 stocks in both the overbought and oversold territory, based on their RSI. Valero Energy has the lowest 14-day RSI on the list, at 16.67.

But with the dollar's stunning reversal since then, some companies should conversely start to catch a currency break and potentially see upside surprises. In the fourth quarter, because of the sophisticated hedging strategies from companies, they may not get the full benefit of the dollar's decline. Johnson & Johnson, for instance, said fourth quarter sales fell, in part because of the negative impact from currency translation. 3M said fourth quarter sales were 5% lower than they would have been were it not for the stronger dollar. Sacconaghi said the market has typically rewarded tech companies' "currency beats."
