Find a Stock’s Market Stage
Analyze any U.S. stock using InvestorWaves’ rules-based adaptation of Stan Weinstein’s four-stage framework—plus trend, relative strength, growth, and theme context.
Simple, transparent analysis
Type a ticker such as NVDA, CEG, or VRT. The analyzer loads completed daily prices and aligns the stock with SPY for a consistent benchmark.
The result explains the Stage 1–4 classification, shows every trend-template check, compares performance with the S&P 500, and adds available growth and theme context.
Methodology
Stan Weinstein popularized a four-stage way to read a stock’s primary trend: Stage 1 basing, Stage 2 advancing, Stage 3 topping, and Stage 4 declining. InvestorWaves uses a rules-based daily-chart adaptation, with the 150-day moving average as a practical proxy for the 30-week average.
The result also checks price against its 50-, 150-, and 200-day averages, the direction of the 200-day average, position within the 52-week range, and performance relative to SPY. Revenue and EPS growth appear only when comparable SEC filings are available.
Results are calculated from completed daily price data—not generated by AI. This is an independent educational implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Stan Weinstein. It is not investment advice.
