Fundamentals and valuation help you pick good stocks, especially for the long term. But technical analysis can help you decide when to buy them.
Technical analysis looks at past price charts to understand possible future trends. It uses different tools, and one of the most common is the 200-day moving average.
The 200-day moving average is an important price level. It often acts as support or resistance, and when a stock moves above or below it, it can signal a change in trend.
Basic strategies can thus be devised based on the 200-day moving average. For example:
- Buying a rising stock when it crosses the 200-day MA: Assuming that crossing the 200-day MA will attract more buyers and sustain the uptrend
- Opportunistic purchase of a falling stock approaching its 200-day MA: Assuming that the 200-day MA will halt the decline and provide a base for a rebound.
- Taking profits (or even shorting) a rising stock approaching its 200-day MA: Assuming the rise will be halted by the 200-day MA
- Profit-taking on a short position when a falling stock approaches its 200-day MA: Assuming that the 200-day MA will halt the decline.
In this article, we looked for stocks that are trading close to their 200-day moving average.
Specifically, we focused on stocks that are either at this level or up to 10% above it.
This helps spot two types of opportunities: stocks that are falling toward this level, and stocks that have just moved above it.
We also added filters for valuation and financial strength to focus on companies that are reasonably priced and financially sound.

The company is entering Q2 on a strong footing following its shift toward higher-value medical technologies under its “New BD” strategy.
