Trend Reversal

Enter as a downtrend turns back up.

The biggest, cleanest moves start where a real downtrend ends. This setup enters as that reversal confirms, in a leading sector, on a clean break out of the base. It waits for the market to vote and never chases a one-day bounce.

How it works

Sector first, then the name.

It starts with the sector. Money has to be rotating into the group, a sector in or approaching its own entry zone rather than one bleeding lower. The strongest names in a leading sector are where the moves begin.

Then the stock itself: a real prior downtrend, a stretch of stabilization, and a confirmed bullish session that flips the daily regime. The entry bar has to open cleanly. If the move already ran away overnight, we pass and wait for the next one.

The gauntlet

What has to be true before you see it.

Every candidate runs the same conviction screens. Most fail at least one and never reach you. The rejection is the product.

Sector leadership

The name lives in a sector that money is rotating into, not out of. The tide has to be coming in.

Long-term trend

The stock is in a genuine uptrend already. No bottom-fishing in names that are still falling.

Regime depth

The prior weakness was real, deep enough to count as a reversal rather than a shallow wobble.

Entry quality

The breakout bar opens cleanly. If price gapped away from the level, the edge is gone and we skip it.

Where it fits

One of the trend setups, on the same engine.

Both ETF Setups trend plays sit on the same daily-regime foundation and run through the same mechanical exit: a 2-ATR stop, moved to break-even, then trailed under the highs. Only the entry differs. See the other one, or read how the whole system fits together.

Every Trend Reversal we've taken is in the public record, winners and losers.
