| OZRK Crosses Technical IndicatorBy Dividend Channel Staff, Thursday, January 12, 4:03 PM ET
In trading on Thursday, shares of Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. (NASDAQ:OZRK) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $31.247 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 Bank of the Ozarks, Inc., the RSI reading has hit 71.0 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 62.4. Investors could look at OZRK's 71.0 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of winding down, which could bring a pullback in the stock.

Looking at the chart above, OZRK's low point in its 52 week range is $19.14 per share, with $31.247 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $31.19.
