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.

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
Entry

Buy as price tests and bounces off the moving average.

Stop Loss

A close below the 30-week MA — if that breaks, Stage 2 may be over.

Worked Example
