EverHint – EMA10 × Price × MACD – Top 10 Buy Signals for Feb 26, 2026

What This Signal Is (Quick)

This is an experimental strategy that combines two bullish signals occurring on the same day:

1. Price crosses above EMA10 from below

   • Yesterday: price_prev <= ema10_prev
   • Today: price > ema10
   • Indicates price breaking above short-term trend

2. MACD Line crosses above Signal Line from below

   • Yesterday: macd_line_prev <= macd_signal_prev
   • Today: macd_line > macd_signal
   • Confirms bullish momentum shift

Double Confirmation: Both crossovers must happen simultaneously on the signal date, providing higher-quality setups with stronger conviction.

Key Characteristics:

• Buy signals only - This strategy generates only bullish signals (no sell signals)
• Fewer but higher quality - Dual confirmation means 5-20 signals per day vs. 20-40 for single-indicator strategies
• Fast response - EMA10 catches early momentum shifts
• Momentum context - MACD adds underlying momentum confirmation
• Swing trading focus - Ideal for 1-4 week holding periods

Key Criteria:

• Buy: Price > EMA10 AND MACD line crosses above signal line

• Sell: Price < EMA10 AND MACD line crosses below signal line

• Minimum ADV: $40M (liquidity filter)

• Earnings buffer: 7 days pre/post earnings

• Fresh signal: All conditions met on today's close

Holding Period: 1-3 weeks
Risk Level: Medium-High

Market Context

The broader market exhibited modest declines on the session, with the S&P 500 down 0.52%, Nasdaq retreating 0.96%, and Dow slipping just 0.09%. Elevated VIX at 18.64, up 3.15%, points to heightened volatility, which can amplify intraday swings and challenge EMA10 price MACD signals. This strategy, reliant on short-term momentum crossovers, risks more whipsaws in choppy conditions, potentially generating false positives amid rapid price reversals rather than sustained trends.

Weakness skewed toward growth-oriented indices like Nasdaq underscores waning risk appetite in a mildly bearish environment, pressuring trend-following setups. With 53 total signals concentrated in Technology—the top sector—traders face elevated caution, as downside momentum could invalidate bullish crossovers, favoring defensive positioning or waiting for VIX stabilization to confirm signal reliability.

Sector rotation dynamics highlight Technology's signal leadership despite the pullback, suggesting pockets of relative strength or oversold opportunities. However, rising volatility tempers aggressive pursuit, recommending tighter stops and confirmation from broader index stabilization to navigate rotation risks effectively.

Vlad's Take (EverHint)

Today's signals: Strong sector concentration in Technology (21 signals) suggests sector-specific rotation. 1 signal with insider buying adds conviction. 17 signals showing insider selling warrant caution.
