The Australian share market has delivered some brutal sell-offs recently, even among high-quality businesses.

Rising interest rate uncertainty and ongoing global tech weakness have weighed heavily on investor sentiment. At the same time, growing nerves around artificial intelligence have pushed several well-known ASX names to fresh 52-week or multi-year lows.

For patient, long-term investors, periods like this can open the door to attractive buying opportunities.

Here are 3 quality ASX shares that have been heavily sold down and now look increasingly attractive at current levels.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

WiseTech shares have been smashed over the past year, with the stock now down 8.02% today to $52.78, marking a fresh 52-week low.

Technically, the chart looks deeply oversold. The relative strength index (RSI) has slipped to 21, a level that has historically signalled capitulation selling rather than a fundamental collapse.

Importantly, nothing material has changed about WiseTech's long-term outlook.

The company remains a global leader in logistics software, with CargoWise deeply embedded across international supply chains. Recurring revenue, high customer retention, and long-term industry tailwinds remain firmly in place.

At current levels, the market appears to be pricing in a prolonged slowdown that may ultimately prove overly pessimistic.

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Xero has been one of the hardest hit large-cap tech stocks on the ASX.

The shares are down 12.95% today to $83.66, pushing the stock to a multi-year low not seen since early 2023.

The sell-off has been driven by broad tech-sector weakness and growing investor fears that artificial intelligence will disrupt traditional software models. That has seen premium-priced SaaS stocks aggressively de-rated.

From a technical standpoint, Xero looks extremely oversold, with the RSI sitting at 22 and the share price hugging the lower Bollinger Band.

Fundamentally, Xero continues to grow subscribers, expand internationally, and invest heavily in AI itself. While volatility may remain high, long-term investors may see current prices offering better value.

Computershare Ltd (ASX: CPU)

Computershare is not immune to the sell-off either.

Shares are down 4.05% to $31.54, with the stock now trading near the bottom of its 52-week range.

Unlike tech names, Computershare offers a more defensive earnings profile. Its global registry, corporate services, and employee equity plan businesses generate steady cash flows, while interest rates continue to support margin income.

Chart signals suggest the share price has broken below recent support, and momentum indicators indicate short-term oversold conditions are developing.

For investors seeking quality with lower risk exposure, Computershare may offer a lucrative entry point at current levels.
