How Stan Weinstein Stage Analysis Works
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. This AMZN page uses InvestorWaves’ rules-based daily-chart adaptation, with the 150-day moving average as a practical proxy for the 30-week average.
The same engine 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. Open the Minervini Trend Template tool to inspect those seven checks on their own.
