70%+ green candles over last 20 bars with price above EMA20 and volume above average.
The 70%+ green candle ratio over 20 bars requires at least 14 of the last 20 sessions to close up. On a weekly chart, this means 14+ of the last 20 weeks were positive -- roughly five months of predominantly upward movement. EMA(20) on a weekly chart smooths approximately 20 weeks of price, making a close above it a medium-term bullish confirmation. Volume above the 20-bar average validates that buying participation is sustained, not fading. Three conditions covering direction consistency, moving average position, and volume all pointing the same way creates a high-conviction multi-week trend signal. The 5-stock count is appropriately selective.
Sustained buying pressure on the Weekly timeframe tends to be self-reinforcing until macro conditions shift: institutional momentum funds systematically add to positions that continue trending. The most common setup failure occurs at natural resistance levels -- 52-week highs, prior all-time highs, major round-number prices -- where profit-taking and short selling compress or reverse the trend. This screen is less useful for timing entries (70%+ green means you are often entering late in the move) and more useful for position management: it confirms an existing long position remains in a healthy trend. Compare to Sustained Selling Pressure for the opposing signal. Strong Intraday Uptrend is the same concept on the intraday timeframe.
