Relative Weakness Today

Overview​

The Relative Weakness Today profile highlights stocks that are underperforming during the current session based on their Relative Strength 1 Day reading. It focuses on liquid, volatile, and actively traded names, helping narrow the list to stocks where weakness is backed by real participation rather than thin volume or random noise.

This profile is useful for spotting laggards, monitoring breakdown candidates, and tightening short-side review to the weakest active names in the market.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to highlight today's relative weakness names with strong liquidity, active volume, and enough volatility for cleaner downside follow-through.

Strategy Focus​

  • Track intraday laggards that are clearly underperforming during the session
  • Focus on weak stocks where downside pressure is backed by real volume
  • Combine relative weakness with strategy metrics to refine short-side review
  • Narrow large watchlists to today's weakest active names
  • Monitor breakdown and fade setups with stronger participation
  • Align downside review with stocks showing both weakness and liquidity

Filters Applied​

This profile combines liquidity, volatility, participation, and intraday weakness filters:

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Keeps the results liquid and active enough for cleaner follow-through.
  • Volume All Hours ≥ 50K AND Relative Volume ≥ 2: Requires strong trading activity and above-normal participation.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day ≤ 10: Limits the list to today's weakest relative performers.

These filters keep the profile centered on stocks showing real intraday weakness, not just light-volume drift.

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Helps confirm whether today's weakness is aligned with a valid downside setup.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Adds a setup-quality layer when ranking short-side opportunities.
  • AI - Path to Target: Helps show whether the move still has room lower before running into stronger support.

Volume, Liquidity, and Activity​

  • Volume All Hours: Confirms broad participation across sessions.
  • Relative Volume: Shows whether the weakness is backed by unusually strong activity.
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the most liquid and visible intraday laggards near the top.

Price Action and Structural Signals​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Shows whether weakness started before the regular session.
  • Change From Close (%): Measures current-session weakness relative to the prior close.
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Helps separate deeper breakdown risk from setups that may already be stretched.
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Adds technical confirmation through aligned bearish patterns.
  • Tight Range: Can highlight names compressing before another downside move.

Sector and Theme Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Show whether the weakness is also supported by poor short-term group performance.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add broader context behind the current weakness.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help compare short-term weakness with the longer-term trend.

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite measure that often stays weaker in underperforming names.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help determine whether today's laggard also has weaker fundamental backing.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Shows whether institutional behavior supports the weakness.
  • 52 Week High (%): Useful for judging how extended the decline may already be.
  • Next Earnings In Days: Adds timing context around possible catalyst risk.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to keep the most liquid and relevant intraday laggards at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Isolate today's weakest stocks for faster downside review
  • Focus on laggards with real volume behind the move
  • Confirm breakdown setups with both relative weakness and participation
  • Build watchlists around stocks lagging the market today
  • Monitor fade and continuation setups in names already showing clear weakness
  • Refine short-side ideas by combining Relative Strength 1 Day, strategy metrics, and volume
