Signal rankings are quantitative research outputs, not personalized recommendations. Values shown describe the current state of each trigger — an SMA spread is the gap between two moving averages, an RSI reading is the current oscillator level. They are not expected or historical returns. Past signal behaviour does not guarantee future performance.

How bearish signals work

A signal is classified bearish when its trigger points to deterioration — a momentum breakdown, distribution-style volume, a failed trend test, or a volatility expansion against the prevailing trend.

Direction describes the trigger, not a recommendation. A bearish signal on a high-AIQ stock is most useful as a position-sizing and timing input rather than a thesis reversal.

Rows are ranked by how many covered triggers are observed on the stock. No synthetic confidence score is used.

How rows are ordered. Rows are ranked by the number of covered triggers observed for each stock. No synthetic confidence or consequence score is used.

Limitations. Signals are computed from end-of-day data and describe conditions that are true as of the snapshot date shown above. They are completed-snapshot research observations, not personalized investment advice, and no forward return is implied by any value on this page. See the AIQ Score methodology for how these triggers relate to the composite score.

Bearish Signals — frequently asked questions

What is a bearish stock signal?

A bearish stock signal is a covered quantitative rule classified as deteriorating, such as a downside moving-average crossover or failed trend test. It describes an observation rather than an automatic exit decision.

Does a bearish signal mean I should sell?

No. It means a specific deteriorating condition is currently true. Bearish triggers fire regularly on stocks in long-term uptrends during ordinary pullbacks. They are most useful for sizing and timing decisions, and for deciding what to examine more closely — not as a standalone exit rule.

Can a high-quality stock show bearish signals?

Routinely. Signals describe current price and volume behaviour, while the AIQ Score describes a four-factor profile across Momentum, Value, Quality, and Risk Resilience. A structurally strong business can produce bearish short-horizon triggers during a drawdown without its underlying case changing.

How often are bearish signals refreshed?

Once per market day, from the latest completed run. The snapshot date is shown at the top, and entrants and exits are diffed against the prior session.

What is the difference between a bearish signal and a low AIQ Score?

A bearish signal is an event — a condition that just became true. A low AIQ Score is a level — a standing assessment across four weighted factors. A stock can carry a strong AIQ Score and a fresh bearish trigger simultaneously, which is usually a timing observation rather than a thesis change.
