Buy the Dip Stocks
Buy-the-dip candidates are stocks in a pullback state — their price has dipped below the 50-day moving average but remains above the 200-day moving average, signaling a short-term correction within a long-term uptrend. These are among the highest-probability setups in trend-following strategies: you're buying a strong stock at a temporary discount.

About This List
A pullback occurs when a stock's price drops below its 50-day moving average but stays above its 200-day moving average. This signals a short-term correction within an ongoing longer-term uptrend — not a trend reversal. The distinction matters: stocks in a true downtrend (below both MAs) have broken down structurally, while pullback stocks are simply pausing.
The stocks listed here combine two criteria. First, they're in a confirmed pullback state — price between the two key moving averages. Second, they have strong market-relative ELO ratings, meaning they've been consistent S&P 500 outperformers over the past 26 weeks. Buying a high-ELO stock in a pullback is buying strength at a discount.
This setup is one of the most studied patterns in technical analysis. Trend-following funds often add to positions on pullbacks to the 50-day MA in strong stocks, treating the moving average as dynamic support. Risk management is critical: a close below the 200-day MA changes the thesis from "pullback in an uptrend" to "potential downtrend" and warrants reassessment. Set a Stock Alarm Pro moving average crossover alert to be notified if the stock breaks below the 200-day level.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is "buying the dip"?
- Buying the dip means purchasing a stock that has temporarily declined from recent highs, with the expectation that the longer-term uptrend will resume.
- What is a pullback state?
- A stock is in a pullback when its price is below the 50-day moving average but above the 200-day moving average — a short-term dip within a longer-term uptrend.
- How is this list different from the trending stocks list?
- Trending stocks are fully in uptrend (price above both MAs). Buy-the-dip stocks have temporarily dipped below the 50-day MA, offering a potentially better entry price within an intact longer-term uptrend.
- What should I check before buying a pullback stock?
- Verify the reason for the pullback (sector rotation vs. fundamental problem), check that the 200-day MA is still holding as support, and confirm the earnings trend is intact.
