Stocks bearish for a week

Screening Filters

1. moving_average_relationship: PriceBelowMA5, PriceBelowMA20, PriceCrossDownMA5, PriceCrossDownMA20

   • Purpose: Identify stocks showing short-term downward price pressure.
   • Rationale:
     • PriceBelowMA5 and PriceBelowMA20 find stocks trading below their 5-day and 20-day moving averages, which often signals weakness relative to recent trend levels.
     • PriceCrossDownMA5 and PriceCrossDownMA20 capture stocks that have just crossed below these moving averages, which can indicate a fresh bearish shift in momentum.
     • Together, these conditions help isolate stocks that are not just weak, but are also exhibiting technical signals consistent with a bearish week.

2. week_price_change_pct: max = 0

   • Purpose: Restrict results to stocks with no positive weekly performance.
   • Rationale:
     • A maximum weekly price change of 0% means the stock is flat or down over the past week.
     • This directly targets stocks that have been bearish on a weekly basis, filtering out names that gained during the week.

Why Results Match:

• The moving average filters focus on recent trend deterioration, which is a common sign of bearish behavior.
• The weekly price change filter ensures the stock has had a non-positive return over the week, aligning with the user’s “bearish for a week” request.
• Used together, these filters screen for stocks that are both technically weak now and down or flat over the weekly period, making the results highly relevant to the query.
