In trading on Tuesday, shares of North American Energy Partners Inc. (NYSE:NOA) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $7.67 per share. We define overbought territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be overbought if the RSI reading rises above 70.

In the case of North American Energy Partners Inc., the RSI reading has hit 70.0 — by comparison, the universe of energy stocks covered by Energy Stock Channel currently has an average RSI of 57.2, the RSI of WTI Crude Oil is at 68.7, and the RSI of Henry Hub Natural Gas is presently 48.4.

A bearish investor could look at NOA's 70.0 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of exhausting itself, and shares are due for a pullback.
