Up-trending price action that takes a brief dip before resuming the upward trend
How this screener works
Requires: price > $1, price > today's open (positive intraday), gap up > 0.01%, daily change < 30% (filters extremes), previous close > price from 3 days ago (upward progression), 5-day gain > 5%, 5-day average volume > 20-day average volume, 20-day average volume > 10,000, 1-month high date = last trading day, and options available. Detects the J-Hook continuation pattern — an established uptrend that takes a brief, shallow pullback (the "hook") before resuming upward with a gap-up and increasing volume.
