About This Scan
Stocks that sit just above a recent low are often the next breakdowns, and catching them before the break gives a tighter stop. This scan lists NSE stocks in a downtrend (20 EMA below 50 EMA, price below the 20 EMA) that closed within 2% of the 20-day low while today's low stayed above it, on Rs 5 Cr of last-session turnover. They are close but have not broken down. The mirror scan is Approaching 20-Day High. For stocks already at a low, see 3M Low Breakdown.

How To Use This Scan
- •Mark the 20-day low as the trigger. A close below it on higher volume is the breakdown the scan is waiting for.
- •Look for tight, low-volume candles near the low. A stock that is bouncing away from the low is less ready.
- •Place the stop above the recent swing high. Not every near-low stock breaks down. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.

Can I change the 2% distance?
Yes. Load the scan in the screener and edit the multiplier on the Close rule.
