Tech stocks price cross 50 ma

Screening Filters

1. moving_average_relationship: PriceCrossAboveMA20, PriceCrossDownMA20

   • Purpose: Find tech stocks where the current price has just crossed above or below a short-term moving average.
   • Rationale:
     • Your request is for stocks where the price crosses the 50-day moving average (MA50).
     • The screener you’re using does not currently support a direct “price crosses MA50” condition, so we used the closest available: price crossing the 20-day moving average (MA20).
     • Both MA20 and MA50 are short- to medium-term trend indicators. A price crossing either one is interpreted similarly: a possible change in short-term trend, just on different time horizons (MA20 is more sensitive and faster-reacting than MA50).
     • By including both PriceCrossAboveMA20 and PriceCrossDownMA20, we capture all recent cross events (bullish and bearish), which matches your intent of “where the price crosses” rather than only one direction.

2. sector: Software & IT Services, Technology, Technology Equipment

   • Purpose: Restrict results to technology-related companies.
   • Rationale: This aligns directly with your request for “tech stocks”, excluding non-tech sectors so you don’t get unrelated names.

3. list_exchange: XNAS, XNYS, XASE

   • Purpose: Limit results to stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges: NASDAQ, NYSE, and NYSE American.
   • Rationale:
     • These are the primary venues for most well-followed tech stocks.
     • It helps avoid illiquid OTC names and focuses on more established, tradeable companies.

Why Results Match (and Where They Differ)

• Match to your intent:

  • You want tech stocks where the price has just crossed a key moving average line.
  • The filters deliver exactly that pattern (recent price cross of a moving average) within the technology sectors on major U.S. exchanges.

• Limitation / Difference:

  • Your request was specifically for the 50-day moving average (MA50).
  • The current screener only offers cross conditions against MA20, not MA50, so we cannot precisely screen for MA50 crosses.
  • Using MA20 crosses is still technically meaningful: it captures similar “inflection point” behavior, just on a shorter time frame. It’s the closest available proxy to your requested signal within this tool.
