MA Pullback Setup
Weinstein's core add-on setup. In an established Stage 2 uptrend, the stock pulls back to the 10-week or 30-week moving average on declining volume — a normal correction within the trend. Offers a lower-risk entry close to a well-defined stop with the trend behind you.
Historical replay numbers are unavailable because the artifact is stale (source bars are 15 days old). The page does not substitute zeros or older results.
How this is measured →Setup Criteria
- › Stock in confirmed Stage 2 uptrend
- › 10-week or 30-week MA is trending upward
- › Pullback to the MA on declining volume
- › The MA acts as support — buyers show up at the line
- › Relative strength line holds up vs market
Buy as price tests and bounces off the moving average.
A close below the 30-week MA — if that breaks, Stage 2 may be over.
