Bullish stocks

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $50,000,000,000 (Large Caps)

   • Purpose: Focus on major, established companies in the U.S. market.
   • Rationale: Large-cap stocks tend to have more analyst coverage, institutional ownership, and generally more stable trends. When you ask for “bullish stocks,” screening among large caps helps surface names where uptrends are more likely to be supported by strong fundamentals and broad market participation, not just speculation.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $2,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are highly liquid and actively traded.
   • Rationale: A bullish technical picture is more reliable when there is sufficient trading volume. High dollar volume means:
     • Tighter bid‑ask spreads
     • Easier trade execution
     • Price trends that are less likely to be distorted by a few small trades
       This makes any “bullish” signal more credible and tradable.

3. PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20-day Moving Average)

   • Purpose: Capture short-term bullish momentum.
   • Rationale: If the current price is above the 20‑day moving average, the stock is in a short-term uptrend. This aligns with the idea of “bullish” as having recent, positive price action and momentum over the past several weeks.

4. PriceAboveMA200 (Price above 200-day Moving Average)

   • Purpose: Capture long-term bullish trend.
   • Rationale: The 200‑day MA is a widely watched long-term trend indicator. Price above the 200‑day MA suggests:
     • The stock is in a primary uptrend
     • It has not been in a prolonged downtrend recently
       Combining this with the 20‑day MA ensures the stock is bullish both in the short term and long term.

5. Quarter Price Change % ≥ 30%

   • Purpose: Select stocks with strong recent performance.
   • Rationale: A ≥30% gain over the last quarter indicates strong recent buying pressure and momentum. This is a direct, quantitative way to screen for stocks that have already been behaving in a “bullish” manner over the last few months.

6. Exchange in [XNYS, XNAS, XASE] (New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: Your request is for “US stock market” stocks. Limiting to NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSE American ensures:
     • U.S.-listed companies
     • Established listing standards
     • Better data quality and liquidity than many OTC names

Why Results Match

• The exchange filter confines the universe to U.S.-listed stocks, matching your geographic request.
• The large-cap and liquidity filters focus on widely traded, higher-quality names where bullish signals are more reliable and practical to trade.
• The moving average filters (20-day and 200-day) explicitly select stocks in both short-term and long-term uptrends, which is the core of what “bullish” typically means in technical terms.
• The quarterly performance filter (≥30%) reinforces that these stocks have recently demonstrated strong upward price movement, consistent with bullish behavior rather than just flat or mildly positive trends.

Together, these filters narrow the list to U.S. stocks that are liquid, sizable, and currently in strong, confirmed uptrends—well aligned with your request for bullish stocks in the U.S. market.
