覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
overbought は over + bought と分けると覚えやすい語です。buy は buy-bought-bought と不規則に変化するので、overbuy「買いすぎる」の過去形が overbought になります。overcook「焼きすぎる」のように、over- は行為の度が過ぎる感覚。ここでは相場の状態ではなく、実際に誰かが物を買い込みすぎたという動作の結果に焦点があります。
Think of overbought as over + bought. Because buy changes irregularly as buy-bought-bought, the past form of overbuy becomes overbought. The prefix over- often means "too much," as in overcook. Here, the word refers to the result of buying too many real things, not to a market condition.

形容詞の overbought は「買われた状態が過度」という発想で、対象は商品そのものより株・市場・証券などです。チャート分析では、買い注文が集中して価格が上がりすぎ、次に下がる余地が大きい局面を指します。動詞の overbought が人の買いすぎを述べるのに対し、こちらは市場から見た受け身の状態。oversold「売られすぎた」と対にすると方向感が整理できます。
See the familiar prefix `over-`, as in `overworked` or `overloaded`, meaning too much. Then notice `bought`, from `buy-bought-bought`, so the word literally looks like "bought too much." Learn it together with `oversold`, because they often appear as a pair in market talk.
