Uptrend reversal signals

Have you ever bought a stock at the top? As statistics shows, most investors often buy stocks at the top and sell near the bottom. An uptrend exhaustion alert is a warning signal of an uptrend nearing its end and of the high probability of a trend reversal. This is often the time when most people buy the stock based on great past performance and the company's optimistic outlook. An uptrend exhaustion alert presents a chance to sell overbought stock.
