LevelUp^ Upside Reversal Screener

The Upside Reversal Screener can be helpful to find strength when stocks have been showing weakness or the overall market is down. An upside reversal in a stock occurs when its price, after declining, changes direction and begins to trend upward. This pattern can signify a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish.

🔹 Upside Reversal Characteristics
✓ Price goes below prior day/week low then rallies to close with a gain or a minimal loss.
✓ Closing range in the upper half of the day/week.
✓ Ideally, volume shows an increase over the average daily/weekly volume.

🔹 Configurable Settings
✓ Specify the number of lower lows.
✓ Require the price low to be above a configurable moving average.
✓ Require the moving average to be trending up.
✓ Specify price % change.
✓ Specify closing range.
✓ Limit search to specific symbol types, for example, only stocks and no ETFs.

🔹 Pros of an Upside Reversal
An upside reversal can provide an early entry point into a potential new uptrend. The reversal may attract buyers, resulting in sustained upward price momentum. Reversals that follow a prolonged downtrend suggest the end of bearish dominance, which may give way to a longer-term bullish trend.

🔹 Cons of an Upside Reversal
Not all reversals continue their upward trend; some may turn out to be "dead cat bounces" or a short-term retracement before the downtrend resumes. It can also be challenging to know when to enter a trade on a reversal as entering too early might lead to losses if price reverses and the downtrend continues.

🔹 Risk Management
One common approach to risk management is to use a recent low as a stop. Another potential stop would be an area of prior support or consolidation. It often feels counterintuitive to enter a trade when the trend has been downward. Which speaks to why risk management must always be part of your game plan.
