$MED Oversold and Due For A Bounce$MED is now extremely oversold with an RSI just above 20. After missing earnings last Friday, what's notable is that traders did buy the dip and we got a green candle on the day. We believe this is a sign that $MED is now too cheap to ignore. $MED is now trading at just 12x earnings and a PEG of 0.62.
