RSI Divergence + Long-Term Support
Fresh daily or weekly lower price lows made with higher RSI lows. + MA means the second low also tested a stable 200-day or 40-week (~200-session) average. Early momentum evidence only — these are not qualified setups and do not change score or readiness.

- Actionable
- The setup's entry trigger is live — the pattern is complete and the level is in play.
- BUY ZONE
- Actionable and the last close sits inside the 0–2% band above the entry. Rows in the buy zone carry the tinted background.
- +2.4%
- Distance of the last close from the entry level. Positive = above entry (extended), negative = still approaching.
- NH
- RS line at a 52-week high. ▲/▼ mark a rising or falling 20-day RS line instead.
- Cell shading
- Score, RS Rank, Vol×, R:R and ADR% shade from the weakest to the strongest value on this page. It ranks within the column, never against a fixed threshold.
- B2A
- Base structure shorthand. B = base; the digit is which base this is in the current advance (B1 first, B2 second, B3+ late-stage and higher-risk in O'Neil's published work); the trailing letter grades construction — A tight and orderly, B acceptable, C loose. “B2A” reads as second base, A construction.
- Score bar
- Length is scaled to the score range actually on this page (70–77), not to 0–100 — at full scale every setup that clears the scan looks the same length.
- +1.0
- Change in the composite score since the previous scan run (run #839 vs the run before it). Rows with no prior appearance show no delta.
- PT 25d ER 11d
- PT — consecutive sessions in Power Trend (price above EMA21 above SMA50). ER — sessions until the next sourced earnings report; it turns red inside the seven-session exclusion window. S2 is the Weinstein stage.
- conv 89
- Conviction (0–100): a blend of composite score, RS, trend template, weekly confluence, pattern confidence and RS streak. It is a summary of the row's own evidence, not a separate signal.
