The mirror of the bounce-off-200 scan, and the harder one to look at if you own the stock. The 200-day is the most-quoted line in the business precisely because so many holders use it as their last exit — which is what gives the break its meaning: the sellers it creates are not day traders. Some breaks reclaim the line within a week; the hit-rate panel will tell you how often, rather than folklore.
