EverHint Signal — Dip & Bounce — January 05, 2026

What This Signal Is (Quick)

The Dip & Bounce strategy identifies stocks that experienced a controlled intraday flush followed by a same-day recovery—classic mean reversion setups. These are stocks where sellers pushed prices down during the session, but buyers stepped in off the lows, creating visible buying pressure.

Pattern Requirements:

• Dip vs Previous Close: Stock traded significantly below yesterday's close during today's session (≥3.3% dip from prev_close to intraday low)
• Bounce Off Low: Price recovered intraday and closed meaningfully above the session low (≥1.0% bounce from low to close)
• Net Result: Stock often finishes red or flat for the day (-2% to +0.3%), but the lower tail/wick shows absorption

This is a mean reversion strategy, not trend following. It targets 1-3 day bounce plays where controlled selloffs create short-term oversold conditions. The presence of a bounce off the low suggests buyers found value—potentially setting up a quick snap-back move.

How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)

We ranked signals by dip_percent (largest dips first), then by bounce_from_low_percent (strongest recoveries). The bigger the dip combined with the stronger the intraday bounce, the higher the ranking—these show the most dramatic flush-and-absorb patterns.

We've overlaid three additional data points for context:

• Insider Net (USD): Net insider buying or selling over the last 90 days. Only open-market purchases (P) and sales (S) count. Insider buying during dips is especially bullish—it shows conviction when prices are weak.
• Days → Earnings: How many days until the next earnings report. Approaching earnings (< 7 days) can add volatility but also potential catalyst for bounce.
• Net Chg %: Overall day performance. Negative means the stock still closed below yesterday despite the bounce—showing a controlled flush rather than a full recovery.

Today we scanned 46 dip-bounce signals across the market. Below are the top 15 with the most dramatic intraday patterns.

📈 Dip & Bounce Signals

These stocks experienced controlled intraday selloffs followed by same-day bounces on January 5, 2026.

Field Notes:

Understanding the Metrics:

• Dip %: How far below yesterday's close the stock traded intraday. CSIQ dropped 10.04% below its previous close—a significant flush.
• Bounce %: Recovery from the intraday low to the close. CSIQ bounced 10.15% off its low—nearly a full recovery.
• Net Chg %: Overall day performance. Most signals are negative (controlled dips), but NUVB actually closed positive (+0.12%) despite the intraday flush.
• RSI(14): Momentum indicator. Lower RSI (WGS at 24.49, INSM at 31.28) suggests oversold conditions with more bounce potential.

Sector Patterns:
Healthcare dominated with 7 of the top 15 signals (NUVB, WGS, VRDN, INSM, PCVX, COGT, DYN), suggesting sector-wide weakness that could be mean-reverting. Energy had 3 signals (CNX, SU, TRGP), Technology had 2 (CSIQ, PI).

Insider Activity:

• Heavy Insider Selling: PI (-$79.4M from Sylebra Capital hedge fund dumping shares throughout December), W (-$3.2M from co-founders Conine and Shah), NUVB (-$155K), PCVX (-$322K)
• Notable: AHR had director Jeffrey Hanson sell $1.9M+ in late December, but no recent purchases to offset

Earnings Proximity:

• Near-term (< 30 days): CNX (24 days), PI (30 days), SU (30 days)—potential volatility catalysts
• Mid-term (30-60 days): Most healthcare names clustered around 45-52 days

Market Context:
This was NOT a broad market dip—S&P 500 closed +0.14%, Nasdaq -0.23%, Dow +1.09%. These are stock-specific or sector-specific patterns, not market-wide flush.

Recent Headlines

• CSIQ - Canadian Solar: No major recent news. Solar sector has been under pressure from policy uncertainty and competition.
• CNX - CNX Resources: No significant headlines. Natural gas producer trading near lows.
• BIDU - Baidu (not in top 15 but had 4.32% dip): Partnership with Uber/Lyft for robotaxi service in UK. Analyst highlight as "underpriced Chinese rival" to Tesla. Legal investigation notice from Pomerantz Law Firm.

• W - Wayfair: Co-founders Conine and Shah sold $3.2M combined in late December. No major news to explain dip.

Vlad's Take (EverHint)

Market Context: S&P 500 +0.14%, Nasdaq -0.23%, Dow +1.09% on January 5th. VIX at 14.9—just below the 15 threshold, creeping higher from recent lows. Small-caps outperformed (Russell 2000 +1.24%), showing some market breadth. Crypto rallied hard: Bitcoin +2.77% to $94K, Ethereum +3.07%. This was NOT a market-wide dip day—these are stock-specific or sector-specific flush patterns.

On These Signals: Healthcare got hammered—7 of the top 15 dip-bounce signals came from biotech/pharma names (NUVB, WGS, VRDN, INSM, PCVX, COGT, DYN). That's a sector rotation signal. When an entire sector shows multiple dip-bounce patterns on a day when the broad market is flat-to-up, it suggests defensive selling or sector-specific fear.

The Standouts:

• CSIQ: Solar stock with a -10% intraday dip that bounced +10% off the low. Still closed -0.91% for the day. That's a classic flush pattern. RSI at 61.66 suggests it wasn't oversold going in, so this could be profit-taking or sector rotation. No insider activity to guide us. 78 days to earnings—no near-term catalyst pressure.

• SU: Suncor announced record 2025 performance and early delivery of Investor Day targets, yet the stock dipped -6.4% intraday. That's sell-the-news behavior. Closed -1.80% despite bouncing +4.9% off lows. This could be a setup for a bounce if energy stabilizes.

• PI: Impinj got absolutely crushed by insider selling—Sylebra Capital (hedge fund) dumped $79.4M worth of shares in December. The dip-bounce pattern here is just capitulation. Without positive news or insider buying to offset, this is a risky bounce candidate.

• W: Wayfair co-founders sold $3.2M in late December. Consumer Cyclical name showing weakness. RSI at 64.54 suggests it was running hot before the dip. This could be healthy profit-taking before earnings (45 days out).

Healthcare Sector Dips:
The concentration of healthcare dip-bounce signals (NUVB, WGS, VRDN, INSM, PCVX, COGT, DYN) is notable. Several have very low RSI (WGS at 24.49, INSM at 31.28, COGT at 30.58)—deeply oversold. But insider selling at NUVB and PCVX is a yellow flag. COGT's NDA submission could be a positive catalyst for a bounce.

Trading Tips for Dip-Bounce Plays:

• Entry Timing: Don't chase the close. Consider entering on next-day weakness or if the stock pulls back to yesterday's close level. These patterns often need a 2nd leg down before the real bounce.
• Position Sizing: Start small (1-2% of portfolio per signal). Mean reversion can fail in strong downtrends.
• Stop Loss: Set stops below today's intraday low. If the low breaks, the pattern fails. Tight stops are critical for mean reversion.
• Take Profit: Target 3-5% bounce or previous day's high. Don't get greedy—these are quick scalps, not swing trades.
• Time Stop: Exit if no bounce in 1-3 days. Mean reversion either works fast or doesn't work at all.
• Check the Sector: When multiple stocks in the same sector show dip-bounce patterns (like Healthcare today), it's often a sector rotation. Trade the strongest setups only.

Risk Warning: Mean reversion strategies fail when the dip is the start of a larger move down. Heavy insider selling (PI, W, NUVB, PCVX) suggests some of these dips have fundamental reasons. With VIX creeping higher and sector rotation accelerating, be selective and keep stops tight.
