In trading on Thursday, shares of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $100.49 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.
