How long can it continue being 'oversold'?

A fundamental-analysis guy might answer: "as long as it wants to." (Ex: super-cat events do not care what your statistical model predicts for an individual security.)

However, since stock prices cannot go negative, a more correct answer might be: "as long as it wants to... or until it hits zero for enough days that zero finally falls within 1 standard deviation of the 50day moving average. At which point-- congratulations-- your security is no longer oversold."

Ok, so I' m a new to t analyss. I understand, I believe, that if the stock is over sold, it may be udervalued, and if it's oversold it may be overvalued. These values are then based on 50 day moving averages.
Are the target prices listed here also based on 1 SD of the mean of the trading range, or are they based on further expert analysis of the fundamentals of the company, along with news, and sentiment about the stocks immediate future?

so much for the "overbought" category, check it now.
I find it rather ironic that sold many "overbrought"
energy stocks were listed when the whole world
knows we have had, and still have a real energy problem. Just an observation, form your own conclusions.
