Finding Bounce-Back Opportunities
Our oversold stocks screener identifies equities that have faced immense selling pressure in the short term, pushing their 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 30. For mean-reversion traders, these stocks represent potential bottom-fishing opportunities where the panic selling may have climaxed.
Trading the RSI Bounce
While an RSI below 30 indicates a stock is mathematically oversold, it is dangerous to catch a falling knife. Savvy traders use this screener to build a watchlist, and then they wait for a bullish candlestick reversal pattern (like a hammer or bullish engulfing) paired with high volume before initiating a long position.
