EverHint Signal — Dip & Bounce — December 16, 2025
What This Signal Is (Quick)
The Dip & Bounce scanner identifies stocks experiencing a controlled intraday flush followed by a same-day recovery—a classic mean reversion setup. Here's the pattern:
- Stock dips meaningfully below yesterday's close during today's session (the "flush")
- Price bounces off the intraday low and closes well above it (the "absorption")
- Day often finishes red or flat, but with a clear lower tail showing buyers stepped in
This is not a trend-following strategy. It targets 1-3 day bounce plays where a stock gets hit intraday, finds support, and recovers before the close. The scanner looks for controlled selloffs with visible buying pressure—not crashes or breakdowns.
Think of it as scanning for "flush then absorb" patterns across the entire market, ideal for traders who like buying controlled dips with evidence that buyers are already defending the level.
This is an experimental scanner designed for educational use and back-testing.
How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)
Today's signals are ranked by dip size (largest dips first), then by bounce strength (strongest recoveries second). We overlay three contextual data points:
- Insider Net Flow (90 days): Open-market purchases minus sales. Insider buying during dips is especially bullish—it suggests insiders see value at these levels.
- Days to Earnings: Proximity to the next earnings report. Dips near earnings can signal pre-positioning or fear, but also create potential catalysts for bounces.
- RSI(14): Momentum gauge. Lower values suggest oversold conditions that may support mean reversion.
These signals are for educational use and back-testing. They highlight controlled dips with visible buying, not fundamental breakdowns or crashes. Always check the broader market context before trading mean reversion setups.

Field Notes
Understanding the Metrics:
- Dip %: How far below yesterday's close the stock traded intraday. FLNC's 13.8% dip means it dropped nearly 14% from the prior close at some point today.
- Bounce %: Recovery from the intraday low to the close. FLNC's 15% bounce shows strong buying after the flush.
- Net Chg %: Overall day performance. Notice most signals are still red or flat—this is a controlled flush pattern, not a V-bottom reversal.
- RSI(14): Momentum indicator. Lower readings (under 40) suggest oversold conditions that may favor mean reversion. PL's 90.8 RSI is unusually high—possibly recovering from a deeper multi-day selloff.
- Insider Net: Net insider buying (positive) or selling (negative) over the last 90 days. SRRK stands out with $12.5 million in net insider buying—very bullish when insiders are buying dips.
Sector Observations:
- Technology leads with 7 signals (QLYS, U, ON, COHR, FSLY, IDCC, CRDO)—broad tech rotation or profit-taking?
- Healthcare follows with 6 signals (RDNT, RVMD, ASND, SRRK, WRBY, BRKR)—sector-wide volatility or earnings positioning?
- Industrials shows 5 signals (FLNC, PL, RKLB, VRT, AMTM)—mix of AI infrastructure (VRT) and space/defense (RKLB, PL)
- Energy has 3 signals (SEI, CRK, UEC)—commodity-driven dips in oil services and uranium
Market Context:
Monday, December 16, 2025 was a mixed session. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished nearly flat at 6800.25 (+0.002%), while the Nasdaq (^IXIC) climbed +0.56% to 23,111. Small caps stumbled—the Russell 2000 (^RUT) dropped -0.28%. The VIX fell -4.8% to 16.45, suggesting easing fear. Gold dipped -0.07%, while Bitcoin rallied +1.6% to $87,832.
This was a stock-specific dip day, not a broad market flush. Most of today's signals appear driven by individual position unwinds, sector rotation, or pre-earnings jitters—not systemic risk.
Recent Headlines

- SRRK — Scholar Rock: Insider director bought $12.5M in Oct-Nov—strong vote of confidence during weakness.
- RKLB — Rocket Lab: CEO Peter Beck granted 132K shares Nov. 15; ongoing insider sales for liquidity, but no red flags.
- ON — ON Semiconductor: Announced partnership with FORVIA HELLA on Dec. 11 for next-gen power tech; automotive recovery narrative intact.
- SEI — Solaris Energy: Sintana Energy acquisition scheme became effective Dec. 16; corporate action may explain volatility.
- PL — Planet Labs: Director Carl Bass sold $5.9M in Oct.; stock had been on a tear (RSI 90.8) before today's dip.
- U — Unity Software: Ongoing insider sales by CFO and COO; no new catalysts, but dip may attract value hunters.
- COHR — Coherent: Bain Capital sold $1.1B stake in Nov.—major overhang cleared, but still digesting the news.
Vlad's Take (EverHint)
Twenty-four controlled dips with visible buying today—most finishing red but with clear lower tails. This is classic mean reversion territory, but context matters:
The S&P was flat while the Nasdaq rallied +0.56%. VIX dropped -4.8%. This wasn't a market-wide panic—these are individual stock flushes, likely driven by position unwinds, sector rotation, or pre-earnings jitters.
Standout Signal: SRRK (Scholar Rock)—4.4% dip with $12.5M in net insider buying over the last 90 days. When directors are putting millions of their own money to work during weakness, that's a strong signal. Biotech is volatile, but insider conviction like this is rare.
VRT (Vertiv): Down 10% last week on a Wolfe downgrade and Oracle earnings ripple effects. Today's 4.3% dip + 3.9% bounce suggests buyers are defending the $155-160 zone. Data center fundamentals haven't changed—this is noise.
FLNC (Fluence Energy): 13.8% intraday dip is aggressive. Could be a forced seller or profit-taking after a big run. The 15% bounce shows strong intraday demand. This is a high-beta name, so position sizing matters.
Trading Tips for Dip-Bounce Setups:
- Entry Timing: Don't chase the close. Consider entering on next-day weakness or if price revisits yesterday's close level.
- Position Sizing: Start small—1-2% of portfolio per signal. These are mean reversion trades, not trend plays.
- Stop Loss: Place stops below today's intraday low. If the dip fails to bounce, exit quickly.
- Take Profit: Target 3-5% bounces or previous day's high. Don't overstay your welcome.
- Time Stop: Exit if no bounce materializes in 1-3 days. Mean reversion is a short-term edge.
Risk Warning: Mean reversion can fail in strong downtrends. Always check the broader market context. If the S&P is selling off hard or VIX is spiking, these dips can turn into breakdowns. Today's market was constructive—flat to slightly up—which supports bounce potential. But if tomorrow brings fresh selling, re-evaluate.
