A Stochastic %K above 80 means a stock is closing near the top of its recent range — an overbought condition where the advance may be getting extended. This scan lists NSE stocks with Stochastic %K above 80 today.
Short-term traders watch for %K to roll back below 80 as a signal that upside momentum is easing, often to tighten stops or book partial profits.
Like all overbought readings, a high Stochastic during a strong trend is normal and can persist. It is a timing tool, not a shorting trigger by itself.
This is a Momentum scan. AlphaGrid computes it across 2,000+ NSE-listed stocks using end-of-day and intraday price data, refreshing through the trading session. Results are ranked and can be opened in the full screener, where you can add your own conditions and set alerts.
The stock is closing near the top of its recent range — overbought. It can signal a short-term pause, but strong trends often stay overbought for a while.
Usually to manage existing longs — tightening stops or trimming — rather than to open fresh short positions.
