List of bearish stocks

Screening Filters

1. moving_average_relationship: PriceBelowMA20

   • Purpose: Find stocks trading below their short‑term trend.
   • Rationale: The 20‑day moving average (MA20) is a common measure of short‑term price trend. When the current price is below the MA20, it often signals short‑term weakness or downward momentum. This helps us identify stocks that are currently under short‑term bearish pressure.

2. moving_average_relationship: PriceBelowMA200

   • Purpose: Find stocks in a longer‑term downtrend.
   • Rationale: The 200‑day moving average (MA200) is a widely watched long‑term trend indicator. Price trading below the MA200 is a classic definition of a bearish or “technically weak” stock over the longer horizon. Combining this with PriceBelowMA20 aligns both short‑ and long‑term trends to the downside, strengthening the bearish signal.

3. month_price_change_pct: max = -10

   • Purpose: Ensure the stock has recently declined meaningfully.
   • Rationale: Setting the maximum 1‑month price change to -10% or worse filters for names that have dropped at least 10% over the past month. A sizable recent decline is consistent with bearish price action and helps exclude stocks that might be in a longer-term downtrend but have just bounced strongly in the near term.

4. list_exchange: XNYS, XNAS

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major US stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: XNYS (NYSE) and XNAS (NASDAQ) are the primary US exchanges. Since you asked for bearish stocks in the US market, this filter ensures we only include US‑listed names, avoiding foreign exchanges or OTC markets.

5. option_sentiments: Bearish

   • Purpose: Capture negative sentiment from the options market.
   • Rationale: Bearish option sentiment typically shows up as higher put activity, skewed put/call ratios, or other options positioning indicating traders are positioning for downside. By requiring Bearish option sentiment, we’re not just looking at price history, but also at how options traders are currently viewing the stock, adding a sentiment‑based confirmation of bearishness.

Why Results Match Your Request

• You asked for bearish stocks; the combination of price below both MA20 and MA200 plus a ≥10% drop over the last month focuses on stocks with clearly negative price trends, both short and long term.
• Restricting to XNYS and XNAS aligns the universe with the US market, as requested.
• Adding bearish options sentiment ensures the list reflects not only weak technicals but also negative market positioning, giving you stocks that are bearish both in trend and in trader sentiment.
