Buying dips only works when there is something to dip from, and the two conditions here are exactly that division of labour: the 200-day says the long trend is up, the RSI says the short term is washed out. Stocks above their 200-day rarely push RSI this low, so the list is short on most days — which is the point. A short list of quality names on sale beats a long list of falling ones.
