In trading on Thursday, shares of SunPower Corp (NASDAQ:SPWR) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $7.84 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.
