Price crossing above lower Bollinger Band.
The lower Bollinger Band is the 20-period Simple Moving Average minus two standard deviations of closing prices. The "crosses above" condition requires price to close below the band on the prior bar and above it on the current bar — the exact bar of recovery. on the 5-Min chart, 20 bars covers roughly five hours of trading, so the lower band reflects recent volatility over a half-day window. With 53 stocks currently matching, this is one of the more active intraday screens; the high count reflects how frequently stocks touch and recover from their lower statistical range boundaries during normal intraday sessions.
The lower band cross is most reliable on elevated volume, confirming real buyer interest at the level rather than thin-market noise. The dominant failure mode is continuation: price crosses above the lower band, spends one to two bars above it, then breaks below again as selling resumes — common in stocks under genuine distribution pressure or in broad market selloffs. A second failure is "false recovery" in news-driven names, where a brief mechanical bounce from the band precedes a gap to new lows. Traders often require at least one confirming bar above the band before entering, rather than acting on the cross itself. For a compound oversold signal with volume and candle confirmation, see Bollinger Lower Bounce + Oversold Confirmation. For the bearish equivalent, see Bollinger Upper Band Cross Down.
