List top 10 stocks with bullish momentum

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $2,000,000,000 (Large / Mid Caps)

   • Purpose: Focus on more established U.S. companies.
   • Rationale: For “top” bullish momentum names, it’s common to prioritize mid- to large-cap stocks. These tend to:
     • Have better liquidity (easier to enter/exit positions).
     • Be more widely followed by institutions.
     • Show more reliable technical signals than tiny, illiquid stocks where moves can be random or manipulated.

2. PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20-day moving average)

   • Purpose: Capture short-term bullish momentum.
   • Rationale: A stock trading above its 20-day moving average is generally in a short-term uptrend. This helps identify:
     • Recent buying strength.
     • Stocks that are currently being bid up, rather than those that rallied in the past but have since stalled or rolled over.

3. PriceAboveMA200 (Price above 200-day moving average)

   • Purpose: Ensure a longer-term uptrend is in place.
   • Rationale: The 200-day MA is a classic “line in the sand” for long-term trend:
     • Above the 200-day often indicates a primary bullish trend.
     • Combining PriceAboveMA20 and PriceAboveMA200 means you’re filtering for stocks that are strong both short term and long term, rather than just experiencing a brief bounce in a longer downtrend.

4. RSI Category: “Moderate”

   • Purpose: Target bullish but not extremely overbought conditions.

   • Rationale: The RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures momentum. A “moderate” RSI typically avoids:

     • Very low RSI (oversold), which might indicate downtrends or weak momentum.
     • Very high RSI (overbought), where a pullback may be more likely.

     This aims for stocks with positive, sustainable momentum rather than late-stage, potentially exhausted moves.

5. Month Price Change % ≥ 10%

   • Purpose: Require recent, tangible bullish performance.
   • Rationale: A gain of at least 10% over the past month is a clear, quantifiable sign of bullish momentum:
     • Confirms the stock hasn’t just drifted higher; it’s moved meaningfully.
     • Helps isolate names where recent price action reflects strong buying interest.

6. Region: United States

   • Purpose: Match the request for U.S. stocks.
   • Rationale: Limits results to companies primarily based or listed in the U.S., aligning directly with “US stocks.”

7. Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Focus on major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale: These are the main U.S. stock exchanges:
     • Ensures you’re getting widely traded, regulated U.S. stocks.
     • Filters out OTC and very illiquid names that may not provide reliable momentum signals.

Why Results Match “Top 10 US Stocks with Bullish Momentum”

• The moving average filters (20-day and 200-day) and month price change ≥ 10% directly target stocks in clear uptrends with recent, strong upside movement—core aspects of bullish momentum.
• The RSI “moderate” setting helps keep results closer to sustained, healthier momentum, avoiding extreme overbought conditions where reversals can be more common.
• The market cap and exchange filters focus on larger, more liquid U.S. names, which are more appropriate candidates for a “top 10” bullish momentum list rather than speculative microcaps.
• The U.S. region filter ensures all results are aligned with your request for U.S. stocks.
