Screening Filters
Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ 150,000
- Purpose: Ensure the stocks are reasonably liquid and not thinly traded.
- Rationale: When looking for “pivot bottoms” (potential reversal points), you want stocks where price moves are meaningful and tradable. A minimum dollar volume filter removes illiquid names where “pivots” could just be random price spikes with wide spreads and low reliability.
Support/Resistance Relationship: PriceAroundSupport
- Purpose: Find stocks currently trading near a known support level.
- Rationale: A “pivot bottom” usually forms around a key support area where selling pressure exhausts and buyers step in. By requiring that price is around support, this filter directly targets the technical zone where a bottoming pivot is most likely to occur.
Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA5
- Purpose: Capture stocks that have recently started to bounce from their lows.
- Rationale: After hitting a bottom, an early sign of a pivot is price reclaiming short-term moving averages (like the 5-day). If the stock is now above its 5-day MA while still near support, that suggests it may have just turned up from a recent low, consistent with a “pivot bottom” scenario.
RSI Category: Moderate or Oversold
- Purpose: Identify stocks that have been under pressure but are not in extreme overbought territory.
- Rationale: A pivot bottom usually occurs after a period of weakness, often reflected by a low or recovering RSI.
- Oversold: Indicates the stock was recently sold heavily, setting the stage for a potential reversal.
- Moderate: Suggests the RSI is recovering from oversold or still low-ish, which is typical in early bottoming patterns.
This combination fits the idea of “just coming off a low” rather than already being extended to the upside.
1-Month Price Change %: from -45% to -1%
- Purpose: Focus on stocks that have declined meaningfully over the past month, but not necessarily collapsed to the point of dysfunction.
- Rationale: A pivot bottom generally follows a downward move.
- The negative range ensures the stock has been in a recent downtrend.
- Capping the decline at -45% avoids the most extreme crashes, which might be less predictable or suffer from severe fundamental problems.
- Capping at -1% on the high side ensures you’re still looking at names that are down recently, not already in full recovery mode.
Why Results Match Your “Pivot Bottom” Request
- A pivot bottom typically:
- Comes after a meaningful decline (captured by the negative 1-month price change and oversold/moderate RSI).
- Forms near a technical floor (captured by PriceAroundSupport).
- Starts to turn up, often first visible in short-term price behavior (captured by PriceAboveMA5).
- Is more actionable in reasonably liquid stocks (captured by the minimum dollar volume).
Together, these filters aim to find stocks that have recently sold off, are now sitting on or near a support level, and are beginning to show early signs of turning up—matching the idea of having “recently hit their pivot bottom.”
