Mid-cap stocks about to break bullish

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap: 2,000,000,000 – 10,000,000,000 (USD)

   • Purpose: Restrict results to mid-cap stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • Mid-cap is commonly defined as roughly $2B–$10B in market capitalization.
     • This range excludes small, illiquid names and very large, mature companies, aligning directly with your “mid-cap” requirement.

2. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Capture stocks trading above their short-term trend.
   • Rationale:
     • The 20-day moving average is a standard short-term trend indicator.
     • Price above the 20-day MA suggests bullish momentum and that buyers are in control in the near term—a typical early sign of a breakout or uptrend continuation.

3. Support/Resistance Relationship: PriceBreakResistance

   • Purpose: Find stocks breaking above resistance levels.
   • Rationale:
     • A resistance break is a classic “bullish breakout” signal—price moves through a level where it previously struggled to go higher.
     • Combining this with price strength and momentum focuses on names that are not just strong, but actively breaking out of prior trading ranges.

4. RSI Category: Moderate

   • Purpose: Select stocks with healthy momentum but not extremely overbought.
   • Rationale:
     • “Moderate” RSI (typically neither very low nor above classic overbought levels like 70) implies upward momentum without extreme froth.
     • This aligns with “showing signs of a bullish breakout” rather than already being in a late-stage, overextended move that may be prone to a pullback.

5. 1-Week Price Change %: min 5%

   • Purpose: Ensure recent positive price action.
   • Rationale:
     • A gain of at least 5% over the last week signals near-term buying pressure and momentum.
     • Breakouts are often accompanied by strong recent performance; this filter avoids flat or weak names that haven’t yet confirmed bullish interest.

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

   • Purpose: Limit results to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • These exchanges typically have better liquidity, tighter spreads, and stronger reporting standards.
     • This improves the practical tradability of the breakout candidates and aligns with many investors’ focus on primary U.S. markets.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The market cap filter directly targets mid-cap companies.
• PriceAboveMA20, PriceBreakResistance, and positive 1-week performance together home in on stocks actively breaking out to the upside, confirming bullish technical behavior.
• The moderate RSI keeps the focus on sustainable bullish setups rather than overstretched names.
• Restricting to major U.S. exchanges ensures the list consists of tradable, mainstream securities, making the breakout signals more actionable.

Overall, these filters collectively seek mid-cap stocks that are in a short-term uptrend, recently gained momentum, and are breaking through resistance—consistent with “showing signs of a bullish breakout.”
