Stocks bearish for a week

Screening Filters

1. Price ≥ $5

   • Purpose: Focus on reasonably priced, more established stocks.
   • Rationale: The user didn’t ask for penny stocks or highly speculative names; setting a minimum price helps avoid illiquid, extremely volatile micro-caps where “bearish” moves can be random or driven by single trades rather than genuine sentiment.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $800,000

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are sufficiently liquid.
   • Rationale: Bearish trends are more meaningful when they occur in stocks that trade decent dollar volume. This filter helps exclude illiquid tickers where price drops might not represent a true, sustained bearish move but just thin trading or one-off orders.

3. Price Below 20-Day Moving Average (PriceBelowMA20)

   • Purpose: Identify stocks in a short-term downtrend.
   • Rationale: A key sign of a bearish phase is trading below a short-term moving average. The 20-day MA approximates the past month of trading; if the price is below this level, it suggests recent price action has been weak and aligns with the idea of current bearishness.

4. 1-Week Price Change ≤ -7% (week_price_change_pct max: -7)

   • Purpose: Capture stocks that have dropped notably over the past week.
   • Rationale: Your question is specifically about bearish behavior in the past week. Requiring at least about a 7% decline over that period ensures the selected stocks show a clear, material negative move rather than just mild noise or sideways action.

5. 1-Month Price Change ≤ -10% (month_price_change_pct max: -10)

   • Purpose: Confirm that the recent weekly bearishness fits into a broader downward bias.
   • Rationale: This helps filter out names that only had a single bad week but are otherwise in a strong uptrend. A one-month decline of at least ~10% suggests the stock has been under pressure for longer than just a few days, supporting the idea of a more sustained bearish tone.

Why Results Match Your Question

• The 1-week negative performance filter directly targets stocks that have been bearish over the past week.
• The PriceBelowMA20 and 1-month decline confirm that this weekly weakness is part of an ongoing short-term downtrend, not just a random blip.
• The price and liquidity filters make sure the results are more tradable, reliable, and representative of true bearish sentiment rather than noise in illiquid or ultra-cheap stocks.
