Tech-focused investors prepare for fresh wave of earnings highlighted by struggling Tesla

Party City Holdco Enters Overbought Territory: Is A Drop Coming?

Zacks Equity Research

Party City Holdco Inc. PRTY has moved higher as of late, but there could definitely be trouble on the horizon for this company. That is because PRTY is now in overbought territory with an RSI value of 85.68.

What is RSI?

RSI stands for ‘Relative Strength Index’ and it is a popular indicator used by technically focused investors. It compares the average of gains in days that closed up to the average of losses in days that closed down; readings above 70 suggest an asset is overbought, while an RSI below 30 suggests undervalued conditions are present.

Other Factors

Yet PRTY’s high RSI value isn’t the only reason for investors to be concerned, as there has been some decidedly negative earnings estimate revisions Party City Holdco’s stock as of late. This is especially true when investors dive into some of these revisions in order to get a better picture of PRTY’s prospects for the near term.
