Uptrend stocks near their 50-day moving average
In a healthy uptrend, the 50-day moving average is where pullbacks often find buyers. A stock trading close to it sits near its average price of the past ten weeks rather than at the top of its run. This list keeps to Stage 2 stocks within 3% of the line, above or below, closest first.

Where our read differs
Of the 100 names above, 44 are on our Established uptrends list: uptrends that have lasted, near their highs and not stretched above their 50-day average. A screen tells you a stock qualifies; it does not tell you whether the trend has proven itself or already run. That second question is the one we built the engine to answer.

Questions
Why the 50-day moving average?
It is the average closing price of the last 50 sessions, about ten weeks, and the line traders watch most for pullbacks in an uptrend. Because so many people watch it, buying and selling tends to gather near it.
What if the stock closes below it?
A close a little under the line is normal in an uptrend, and this list includes stocks up to 3% below it. Repeated closes well under it, especially once the 50-day starts to turn down, are a sign the trend is weakening. The stage on each row shows our current read.
Is a pullback to the 50-day a buy signal?
Not by itself. Look for the pullback to come on lighter volume and for the stock to hold the line, and check the market first. Nothing here is investment advice.
