About This Scan
The bearish trend template is the mirror of the stage 2 checklist: it lists stocks in a strong, established downtrend. On the daily chart the close is below the 50-day average, the 50 is below the 100, the 100 is below the 200, and the 200 is falling. The stock must be at least 30% below its 52-week high and within 25% of its 52-week low, with an RS rating of 30 or lower and Rs 10 Cr of last-session turnover. The 100-day average stands in for the 150-day, and the 200-day slope is measured over 8 sessions. The mirror scan is the Minervini Trend Template.

How To Use This Scan
- •Use it to avoid weak stocks or to find short candidates, such as stocks in F&O. Weak stocks can still bounce hard, so manage risk.
- •Look for rallies that fail at the 50 DMA, or breakdowns from a base, rather than shorting the lowest price.
- •A long list means broad weakness. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this scan check?
That the stock is below a falling stack of its 50, 100 and 200-day averages, far from its 52-week high, close to its low and weak against the rest of the market.
Is it the same as a death cross scan?
No. The Death Cross scan finds a fresh crossover. This scan finds stocks already in a mature downtrend.
What is the RS rating?
A score of the stock's relative strength against the rest of the market. A rating of 30 or lower means the stock has underperformed most others.
