The stochastic sell signal has three parts and all of them are here: the oscillator is in its upper zone, the fast line has turned, and it has crossed the slow line. It marks short-term exhaustion rather than a change of trend — in strong stocks it usually precedes a pause, not a collapse — which makes it better for timing exits than for initiating shorts.
