EverHint Signal — Dip & Bounce — December 11, 2025
What This Signal Is (Quick)
The Dip & Bounce scanner tracks stocks that experienced a controlled intraday flush followed by a same-day recovery—creating classic mean-reversion setups. These aren't random crashes or panic selloffs. Instead, they're deliberate dips where:
- Price drops meaningfully below yesterday's close during the session (≥1.5% dip)
- Buyers step in at the lows, pushing the stock back up (≥0.75% bounce from low to close)
- The day often finishes red or flat, but with a visible lower tail/wick showing absorption
Think of it as "flush then absorb." The stock dips, tests support, finds buyers, and closes well above the intraday low. This pattern complements trend-following strategies by catching short-term mean reversion in otherwise healthy uptrends.
This is an experimental scanner focused on 1-3 day bounce plays. It's not financial advice—signals are for educational use and back-testing. Always do your own due diligence.
How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)
Signals are ranked by dip size first (largest percentage drop from previous close to today's low), then by bounce strength (recovery from the low to close). Larger, controlled dips with strong bounces rank higher—these show the most dramatic intraday reversals.
We overlay three key data points:
- Insider flows (last 90 days): Net insider buying during dips is especially bullish—executives putting their own money to work at lower prices
- Earnings proximity: Companies reporting soon face higher volatility but also potential catalysts for quick bounces
- Liquidity filters: All signals meet minimum volume thresholds ($40M+ average daily dollar volume)
Important context: These are controlled dips with visible buying, not crashes. Most stocks closed only 0.2% to 1.8% below yesterday's close despite dropping 3-8% intraday. That's the hallmark of mean reversion—the flush gets absorbed, not accelerated.

Field Notes
Dip %: How far below yesterday's close the stock traded intraday. VRT dropped 8.05% from its previous close to its session low—a significant intraday flush.
Bounce %: Recovery from the intraday low to the close. IREN bounced 7.56% off its low, closing near the highs of the session despite the earlier dip.
Net Chg %: Overall day performance versus yesterday's close. Most stocks finished slightly red (-0.2% to -1.9%), showing controlled selloffs rather than panic. Three stocks (IREN, CORZ, LRCX) actually closed green despite the intraday dips.
RSI(14): Momentum indicator on a 0-100 scale. Lower readings suggest oversold conditions. AMBA at 40.3 and DK at 24.5 show particularly stretched readings, while GDS at 87.3 suggests recent strength before today's dip.
Insider Net: Net insider buying (+) or selling (-) over the past 90 days. ETN stands out with +$38.4K in insider purchases—a director bought 100 shares at $384.34 on October 31, showing conviction during weakness. GRAL saw a massive $79.9M sale by Illumina (10% owner), while tech executives at RDDT, PLTR, and others took profits in recent weeks.
Sector Rotation: Technology dominated with 16 signals, showing sector-wide mean reversion. Industrials (VRT, ETN) and Energy (SEI, DK) also showed dip-bounce patterns. This wasn't a market-wide crash—it was selective profit-taking in high-momentum names.
Market Context: Broader indices finished positive (S&P 500 +0.58%, Dow +1.31%), while VIX dropped 11.8% to 14.85. This suggests today's dips were rotation/profit-taking rather than fear-driven selling.

Vlad's Take (EverHint)
December 11 delivered exactly what dip-bounce traders hunt for: controlled intraday flushes in high-quality names, followed by visible buying pressure. Twenty-five signals across tech, industrials, energy, and healthcare—all above their 200-day moving averages, all with strong liquidity, all showing the classic "flush then absorb" pattern.
What stands out:
1. Technology took the hit: Sixteen tech names in the scan tells you profit-taking hit the AI/semiconductor/infrastructure space. But these aren't crashes—AMD dropped 5% intraday and closed flat. PLTR dipped 4.1% and closed down just 0.2%. That's absorption, not distribution.
2. Insider buying during dips is rare and bullish: ETN director Gerald Johnson buying shares at $384 in late October during weakness? That's a contrarian signal worth noting. Meanwhile, insider selling at GRAL, SEI, RDDT, and PLTR is standard executive profit-taking—not necessarily bearish unless paired with fundamental deterioration.
3. Earnings proximity creates two-way risk: Most signals report earnings in 50-77 days (late January to mid-February 2026). That's enough time for a 1-3 day bounce play without immediate earnings volatility, but close enough that any unexpected news could accelerate moves in either direction.
4. Market context supports mean reversion: Broader indices finished green, VIX dropped 11.8%, and gold/silver rallied. This wasn't a risk-off day—it was rotation and profit-taking in stretched names. That's the ideal environment for dip-bounce setups.
Trading tips for dip-bounce:
- Entry timing: Consider entering on next-day weakness or waiting for a retest of today's close. Don't chase the bounce into the close—let the pattern prove itself.
- Position sizing: Start small (1-2% of portfolio per signal). These are short-term trades, not buy-and-hold positions.
- Stop loss: Set stops below today's low. Mean reversion requires tight risk management—if the bounce fails, exit quickly.
- Take profit: Target 3-5% bounce or previous day's high. Don't get greedy—these are singles, not home runs.
- Time stop: If no bounce materializes in 1-3 days, exit. Mean reversion has a short window.
Risk warning: Mean reversion can fail spectacularly in strong downtrends. Check broader market context before trading these setups. Today's positive market action supports the bounce thesis, but if indices roll over, these signals could break down fast.
