EverHint Signal — Dip & Bounce (top 10 stocks) — January 08, 2026
What This Signal Is (Quick)
The Dip & Bounce pattern identifies stocks that experienced a controlled intraday flush followed by a same-day recovery, creating a classic mean reversion setup. Here's what we're tracking:
- The Dip: Stock trades significantly below yesterday's close during today's session (at least 1.5% below previous close)
- The Bounce: Price recovers intraday and closes meaningfully above the session low (at least 0.75% bounce from the low)
- The Net Result: Stock often finishes red or flat for the day (-2.5% to +0.5%), but with a visible lower tail/wick showing buyers stepped in
This is an experimental mean reversion scanner, not a trend-following system. It's designed for traders who like buying controlled dips with visible buying pressure. Best for 1-3 day bounce plays or short-term swing trades where you're looking to capture the snap-back after a flush.
The key distinction: these aren't crashes or breakdowns. They're controlled selloffs where buyers absorbed the selling pressure and pushed price back up from the lows before the close.
How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)
We ranked signals by dip size first (largest dips from previous close to intraday low), then by bounce strength (recovery from the low to the close). Secondary consideration goes to liquidity (20-day average dollar volume).
We overlay three critical data points:
- Insider Flows: Net insider buying or selling over the last 90 days. Insider buying during dips is especially bullish—it suggests company insiders see value at current prices.
- Earnings Proximity: How many days until the next earnings report. Stocks reporting soon face higher volatility but also potential catalysts for bounce.
- Analyst Coverage: Consensus estimates and number of analysts covering the stock.
Important: These signals are for educational use and back-testing. They represent controlled dips with visible buying—not free-falling stocks. Always do your own due diligence before trading.

Field Notes
Understanding the Metrics:
- Dip %: How far below yesterday's close the stock traded intraday. A 5% dip means the stock hit an intraday low 5% below yesterday's close—a meaningful flush.
- Bounce %: Recovery from the intraday low to the close. A 4% bounce means the stock closed 4% above its session low, showing buyers stepped in.
- Net Chg %: The day's overall performance versus yesterday's close. Most dip-bounce patterns finish slightly negative or flat (controlled flush), but the key is the visible recovery from the low.
- RSI(14): 14-day Relative Strength Index. Lower readings suggest oversold conditions. Above 70 is overbought, below 30 is oversold.
Sector Rotation Observations:
Today's signals clustered heavily in Basic Materials (4 out of 10), specifically precious metals and silver miners. This sector-wide dip-bounce pattern suggests a coordinated selloff in commodities followed by value buying. Technology names (3 out of 10) also showed dip-bounce patterns, while Healthcare (2) and Industrials (1) rounded out the list.
Market Context:
The broader market was relatively calm on January 8. The S&P 500 gained just 0.07%, while the Nasdaq slipped -0.29%. Precious metals and commodity-related stocks saw intraday volatility despite gold futures climbing 0.39%. This creates a classic setup where sector-specific weakness creates short-term dip-buying opportunities within an otherwise stable market.

Vlad's Take (EverHint)
Today's dip-bounce signals are dominated by precious metals and silver miners—four of the top ten are Basic Materials plays. This clustering tells a story: sector-wide selling pressure created uniform dip-bounce patterns across HL, SVM, AG, and related names. When multiple stocks in the same sector show identical patterns, it's often sector rotation or commodity price volatility rather than company-specific issues.
Trading Tips for Dip-Bounce Setups:
Entry Timing: Don't chase. Consider entering on next-day weakness or if price revisits yesterday's close level. The best dip-bounce entries often come when the stock retests the previous day's close in the following session.
Position Sizing: Start small. Mean reversion trades are higher risk than trend-following. Allocate 1-2% of your portfolio per signal maximum.
Stop Loss: Place stops below today's intraday low (the dip level). If the stock breaks below today's low, the bounce thesis is invalidated. Tight stops are essential for mean reversion.
Take Profit: Target a 3-5% bounce from your entry, or aim for yesterday's high as your exit. Mean reversion is about capturing the snap-back, not riding a new trend.
Time Stop: If the stock doesn't bounce within 1-3 trading days, exit. Mean reversion either works fast or doesn't work at all.
Risk Warning: Mean reversion can fail spectacularly in strong downtrends. Always check the broader market context. Today's VIX reading of 15.45 (down -1.53%) suggests low volatility and complacent markets—a decent environment for dip-buying. But if the VIX spikes above 20, mean reversion becomes riskier.
Market Snapshot (Jan 8):
- S&P 500: +0.07%
- Nasdaq: -0.29%
- Russell 2000: +1.11%
- VIX: 15.45 (Low volatility, favorable for dip-buying)
- Gold Futures: +0.39% (supporting precious metals thesis)
- 10Y Treasury: 4.181% (+0.34%)
The market's muted action creates a goldilocks environment for dip-bounce plays—enough volatility to create intraday flushes, but not enough fear to derail quick recoveries.
One more thing: Notice how APGE insiders were selling into strength in December (CFO and CEO unloaded $4.7M combined). The stock still showed a dip-bounce pattern today, but insider selling is a yellow flag. When insiders sell during dips, it's concerning. When they sell into strength and the stock dips later, it's less worrying but worth noting.
