Now that megacap stocks have lifted the S & P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes to all-time highs, some stocks in the group have risen so high, so fast they may actually be due for a pullback.
Pharmaceutical developer Eli Lilly , maker of Mounjaro for Type 2 diabetes and Zepbound for obesity, is higher by 53% this year.
By contrast, the S & P 500 is up 15% this year, through Tuesday's close.
Eli Lilly is also now extremely overbought, Bespoke said, after benefiting from increased demand for its weight loss and diabetes drugs.
Other stocks considered extremely overbought are Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft, which have traded more than 33%, 17% and 7%, respectively, above their 50-day moving averages.
