EverHint Signal — Dip & Bounce — December 09, 2025

What This Signal Is (Quick)

The Dip & Bounce Mean Reversion scan looks for sessions where a stock:

• Trades meaningfully below the previous close intraday (the dip),
• Then recovers off that low and closes well above it (the bounce),
• Often still finishing the day red or roughly flat.

For today’s run:

• Dip vs previous close (Dip %): Today’s low had to be at least ~1.5% below yesterday’s close.
• Bounce off the low (Bounce %): The stock then had to rebound at least ~0.75% from that intraday low.
• Net result (Net Chg %): Many of these names still closed down on the day, but with a clear lower wick showing buyers stepped in rather than a free-fall.

This is a mean-reversion, short-term idea generator, not a trend-following system. The intent is to surface 1–3 day “buy the controlled flush” opportunities where:

• Selling pressure looks exhausted rather than panicky, and
• There is visible demand stepping in off intraday lows.

This is an experimental scanner designed for research, journaling, and back-testing — not a fully validated trading system.

How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)

For the December 9th signals, ranking is:

1. Primary: Largest Dip % (from prior close to today’s low), descending.
2. Secondary: Strongest Bounce % (from low to close), descending.
3. Tertiary: Higher average dollar volume (adv20) preferred when dips and bounces are similar.

On top of the raw pattern, there are three important overlays:

• Insider Net (USD): Net open-market insider buying vs selling over the last ~90 days. Purchases (P) are added, sales (S) are subtracted. Awards, grants, exercises, and tax events are ignored.
• Earnings proximity (Days → Earnings): How many calendar days until the next scheduled earnings release (when available).
• Basic context: Sector, market cap, and RSI(14) to see whether you’re buying into an extended name or something closer to oversold.

These signals are best treated as watchlist fuel to be cross-checked with your own charts, risk rules, and thesis — not as blind buy/sell instructions.

Important nuance: these are “controlled dips with buyers present”, not crash candidates. A classic Dip & Bounce bar will show:

• Lower tail / wick (flush below prior close),
• Body that finishes well above the low,
• Often a modest red candle on the day.

Ranking by Dip %, then Bounce %, then liquidity (adv20 dollars).

Quick field notes on the table

• Dip % – Depth of the intraday flush vs yesterday’s close.
• Bounce % – Recovery from the intraday low into the close.
• Net Chg % – Overall performance vs yesterday’s close (most are still red or only slightly green).
• RSI(14) – Short-term momentum; sub-40 names like CSIQ and LAC are closer to “oversold” territory, while names in the 70s-80s (e.g., VERA, AMKR) are strong uptrends that just printed intraday shakeouts.
• Insider Net (USD) – Net open-market insider buying (P) minus selling (S) over the last 90 days:
  • LUNR stands out with ~$2.2M net insider buying into weakness, which is notable.
  • Several others (TMC, QBTS, AMPX, VERA, ASTS, LAC, OUST) show net selling, which may argue for extra caution.
• Days → Earnings – Calendar days until the next scheduled earnings release (where available):
  • Mid-term earnings cluster around ~2–3 months out for many names (AMKR, LEU, MUFG, VERA, CORZ, RGTI, XP, ASTS, OCUL).
  • Tick names with “—” either have no upcoming date in the near window or aren’t covered in the earnings file.

Recent Headlines Around Key Names

News flow can often explain why the dip happened — or highlight catalysts that might fuel the bounce.

• ASTS – AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (Technology)
  • Coverage framing the company as a potential “next frontier” in global connectivity with a Buy rating and a high price target, alongside ongoing conference presentations and retail interest.
  • Several pieces also mention sharp prior drawdowns, reminding that volatility is part of the story here.
• OCUL – Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (Healthcare)
  • Headlines focus on its stock “skyrocketing” on faster regulatory timelines and positive FDA-related developments, as well as follow-up press releases from the company.
  • The combination of news-driven spikes and today’s dip-bounce pattern makes it a classic “headline + volatility” name to handle with care.
• AMPX – Amprius Technologies, Inc. (Industrials)
  • Recent releases highlight new technology integrations and partnerships, including its batteries being used in high-end systems.
  • The stock has seen catalysts from both fundamental announcements and speculative flows, now showing a controlled intraday flush and rebound.

(Only a subset of names in the table have fresh, clearly identifiable headlines tied to recent moves; several others are more flow/positioning-driven in today’s scan.)

Field Notes: How to Read These Dip & Bounce Setups

Some practical angles when scanning this list:

• Biggest flushes with strong rebounds
  • VERA sits at the top with a double-digit Dip % and almost matching Bounce %, yet still closing slightly red with a very high RSI. That’s a textbook “strong trend, sharp intraday shakeout that was aggressively bought.”
  • ASTS, CSIQ, RGTI, and TMC also offer notable depth of dip with meaningful intraday recovery.
• Mean-reversion vs trend-following
  • Names with RSI under ~45 (e.g., CSIQ, LAC) lean more toward classic mean reversion: you’re buying into broader weakness with today’s bar showing possible seller exhaustion.
  • Names with RSI in the 70s-80s (e.g., VERA, AMKR, OCUL) are more like “trend shakeout” plays — strong uptrends where intraday dips are being bought.
• Insider flows as context, not gospel
  • LUNR is the only clear “insiders buying the dip” highlight with positive net insider dollars. That doesn’t guarantee anything, but it’s notable when management is adding exposure into volatility.
  • Heavy net selling, such as in TMC and QBTS, may nudge risk management toward smaller size or tighter stops.
• Earnings proximity
  • Several names (e.g., AMKR, LEU, MUFG, CORZ, XP, VERA, RGTI, ASTS, OCUL) have earnings roughly 2–3 months out.
  • Today’s dips don’t look like last-minute pre-earnings panics; they’re more likely tied to regular volatility and rotation.
  • As the earnings window narrows, these same tickers might reappear in scans with a very different risk profile.

Vlad’s Take (EverHint)

From the broad market snapshot on December 9:

• S&P 500 finished essentially flat (around -0.0%), while the Nasdaq Composite was modestly green (roughly +0.3%) and the Dow slid about -0.3%.
• Small caps (Russell 2000) showed a bit more strength at roughly +0.4%, hinting at some risk-on interest outside mega caps.
• VIX closed near 16.9, up about 1.5%, which is still a relatively low-to-normal volatility regime rather than a panic spike.
• Crypto stayed in risk-on mode, with Bitcoin up roughly +2.6% and Ethereum up about +6.5% on the day.

Net-net: it looks like a mixed but not stressed environment — some rotation, some single-name volatility, but no broad risk-off stampede.

In that context, today’s Dip & Bounce list feels like classic “micro shakeout” action:

• A handful of high-beta tech and speculative names (ASTS, RGTI, QBTS, CORZ)
• A few thematic plays (LAC for lithium, TMC for deep-sea metals)
• Plus biotech and healthcare volatility (VERA, OCUL) and select financials.

For this scanner, I would personally treat today’s output as:

• A watchlist of potential bounce candidates, not a mandatory “buy everything” list.
• A prompt to study intraday price action around the lows (tapes, liquidity pockets, level-2, etc.) if you trade actively.
• A reminder that mean reversion can fail hard when the broader market turns risk-off, so tying these signals to index and sector context remains critical.

Trading Tips Specific to Dip & Bounce Patterns

Nothing here is advice or a recommendation, but when experimenting with this type of pattern, traders often think in terms like:

• Entry timing
  • Consider entries near prior support zones (e.g., near prior day’s close or intraday support) rather than chasing the closing print.
  • If the next session gaps up strongly, many mean-reversion traders will simply pass rather than chase.
• Position sizing
  • Keep positions small relative to your portfolio (for example, 1–2% per idea or less).
  • Volatile names like ASTS, OCUL, LUNR, and TMC can move several percent in minutes.
• Stop-loss placement
  • A common idea is to place a stop just below today’s low, since the pattern thesis is that the low marks a rejection zone.
  • If price cleanly breaks that low, the Dip & Bounce thesis is often considered invalid for that swing.
• Take-profit and time stops
  • Typical mean-reversion targets might be 3–5% from entry, or back toward prior resistance (yesterday’s high / key intraday levels).
  • Another approach is a time stop: if there is no meaningful bounce within 1–3 trading days, many traders simply exit and free up capital.

Again, these are general pattern concepts, not rigid rules.
