US stocks in Stage 1: basing after a decline
Stage 1 is the quiet part: price has stopped falling and moves sideways while the 200-day average flattens out. Nothing is happening yet, and that is the point: these are the names to have on a list before Stage 2 starts, not after.
99 US stocks pass · data as of Oct 22, 2026 close
The exact criteria
Stage Analysis is Stan Weinstein's, published in Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets (1988). We apply his framework with our own stage engine after every close; the two checks below are what this screen filters on.
- 1.Classified Stage 1: basing, after a decline and before an advance394 pass
- 2.Price within 30% of its 52-week high: a base, not a wreck2,477 pass
Each count is that rule applied on its own to every US stock we cover, so you can see which one is doing the work. The list below is the names that pass all of them.
