The 5-bar red candle ratio (80%+) captures a sudden burst of selling. The 60-bar red candle ratio (sub-50%) establishes the prior context: selling was not dominant, so this is a genuine shift, not a continuation. EMA(9) is a fast-responding moving average -- a close below it confirms near-term trend is now bearish. Volume above average validates that the shift has participation, not just thin-market noise. ATR(14) above its 5-bar-ago value confirms volatility is expanding -- the market is accepting the new lower prices aggressively, not compressing.
The strongest setups occur when the 60-bar baseline was trending upward and volume expansion accompanies the shift -- a distribution event rather than random chop. The main failure mode is a counter-trend bounce: five red bars in a row after a multi-week uptrend often triggers short-term oversold readings, and price snaps back above EMA9 within 2-3 sessions. This screen fires at the start of the regime change, not after confirmation -- it captures the event early, which means higher reward but also higher false-positive risk. Compare to Momentum Regime Change Bull for the opposite signal. For intraday confirmation, see Strong Intraday Downtrend.

This screener identifies stocks undergoing a rapid bearish regime shift: 80%+ of the last 5 bars are red, while fewer than 50% of the last 60 bars were red -- meaning selling pressure has sharply intensified against a previously neutral or bullish backdrop. Price must be below EMA(9) (9-period Exponential Moving Average) and both volume and ATR(14) must be rising. Swing traders and trend-followers use this to identify early-stage bearish momentum shifts before a full downtrend is established. Who uses this: macro-aware swing traders rotating out of positions and short-sellers looking for directional regime entries. Search phrases: momentum regime change bearish screener, trend shift from bullish to bearish, EMA9 breakdown rising ATR.
