    Below is a list of ETFs currently considered 'overbought' using data from Finviz.com. In this case overbought is defined as having an RSI (14) of over 80.  Stocks and ETFs can remain overbought for extended periods of time and one can use multiple ways to define 'overbought'.  However, RSI serves as a good first indicator.  The theme from the list below is that preferred issues may be due for a pullback after a nice runup since March 6th (many of which have more then doubled since the 3/6 lows):
