Bearish stocks

Screening Filters

1. rsi_category: oversold

   • Purpose: Identify stocks with weak recent momentum that may be in a downtrend or under selling pressure.
   • Rationale: RSI (Relative Strength Index) in the “oversold” range (typically below 30) indicates that sellers have dominated recently. This aligns with a bearish technical picture: price weakness, negative momentum, and sustained selling.

2. moving_average_relationship: PriceBelowMA20

   • Purpose: Capture stocks trading below their short‑term trend line.
   • Rationale: When price is below the 20‑day moving average, it suggests short‑term weakness. This is a classic technical sign of a near-term bearish trend, as recent prices are lower than the average of the last few weeks.

3. moving_average_relationship: PriceBelowMA200

   • Purpose: Ensure stocks are also in a longer‑term downtrend.
   • Rationale: The 200‑day moving average is a widely watched long‑term trend indicator. Price below the 200‑day MA is often considered a bear market condition for that stock. Combining this with PriceBelowMA20 means the stock is weak in both short and long time frames.

4. quarter_price_change_pct: max -25

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks that have fallen significantly over the last quarter (3 months).
   • Rationale: A maximum of -25% means you’re only looking at names that are down 25% or more over the quarter. That magnitude of decline is consistent with a pronounced bearish move, not just minor pullbacks or noise.

5. is_index_component: GSPC (S&P 500 members only)

   • Purpose: Limit the search to established, large‑cap U.S. stocks.
   • Rationale: The S&P 500 (ticker ^GSPC) includes major, actively traded companies. Screening within this universe reduces very illiquid or speculative names, giving you a clean list of recognizable stocks that are in bearish phases, rather than micro‑caps behaving erratically.

Why Results Match “Currently Bearish”

• The RSI oversold condition flags strong negative momentum.
• Price below both 20‑day and 200‑day MAs confirms weakness over short and long horizons—hallmark of a bearish trend.
• A quarterly drop of at least 25% ensures the decline is meaningful, not just a small dip.
• Limiting to S&P 500 components focuses on major companies where bearish conditions are more likely to reflect real fundamental or sentiment issues, not random price spikes.

Together, these filters isolate large, well‑known stocks that are showing clear, multi‑timeframe technical weakness and significant recent declines, which is a robust interpretation of “currently bearish.”
