The 252-day low is the lowest closing price over approximately one trading year. "Close below 1.05x 252-day low" means the current price is at most 5% above the annual floor. Like its counterpart Near 52-Week High, this is a proximity filter without volume or indicator confirmation. The 5% threshold captures stocks in the support zone. There is no direction filter -- this screen catches both stocks stabilizing near lows (potential bounce) and stocks continuing toward a new annual low.
The 52-week low is psychologically significant: it represents the price where buyers defended the stock over the past year. A stock that holds above it repeatedly attracts dip buyers; one that can't sustain any bounce often breaks to new lows. The main failure mode for value buyers: catching a falling knife. Stocks near 52-week lows often continue lower because there is no fundamental catalyst to reverse the selling. Positive confirmation signals -- rising relative volume on up days, bullish divergence in RSI, a sector catalyst -- reduce the false-positive rate. For the bearish breakdown scenario, see New 52-Week Low. For the near-high equivalent, see Near 52-Week High.
