Every Stock Screener Makes You Speak Robot. Here's the Market in Plain English.
Open any stock screener and it hands you a wall of dropdowns: RSI under 30, price above the 200-day SMA, MACD histogram crossing zero. The information is useful. The vocabulary is a tax. You already know the question you want to ask — which good companies just got cheap? what's running too hot? what's quietly breaking down? — but you're forced to translate it into indicator jargon first.
You shouldn't have to. So here are seven searches, typed the way you'd actually say them, and the exact names each one turns up right now — computed straight off the daily closing prices through Thursday's close (July 23, 2026), across roughly 700 of the largest US-listed companies. RSI here is the standard 14-day Wilder measure. The search is in the heading. The answer is underneath it.
Search: "stocks sitting on their 200-day moving average"
The 200-day line is the boundary a lot of investors treat as healthy-uptrend versus broken-trend. "Sitting on it" means the price has fallen back to the line but not through it — the spot where the floor either holds or gives.
Type that search today and you get: $TTWO (Take-Two), closed 0.03% above its 200-day; $MCO (Moody's), 0.07% above; $CMS (CMS Energy), 0.12% above; $MA (Mastercard), 0.4% above. Four names balanced almost exactly on the line, where the next few sessions actually mean something.
Search: "which big companies are oversold right now"
RSI is a 0–100 gauge of how hard a stock has been sold lately. Under 30 is the classic "oversold" zone — not a buy signal on its own, just the shortlist of names dumped fast enough to be worth a look.
That search returns some heavyweights this week: $SNPS (Synopsys) at an RSI of 26, $ALB (Albemarle) at 26, $IONQ (IonQ) at 27, $ISRG (Intuitive Surgical) at 29, $TSLA (Tesla) at 29, and $ORCL (Oracle) at 30. Note these aren't dip-in-an-uptrend names — most are trading well below their 200-day too (Oracle is 36% under it), so oversold here means "beaten down and still falling," which is a harder setup than it sounds.
Search: "what stocks are overbought"
Same gauge, flipped: above 70 is "overbought," the names that ran up so fast they usually need a rest. Run it this week and it's a mixed bag, not one sector: $TRV (Travelers) at an RSI of 78, $EA (Electronic Arts) at 77, $PYPL (PayPal) at 75, and $CSX (the railroad) at 75. An insurer, a game publisher, a payments network, and a freight line — momentum doesn't care about your sector buckets.
Search: "stocks near their 52-week high"
Some names spend the whole year climbing and are pressing right against their 52-week high — the level where the next tick up means nobody who owns it is underwater.
The search surfaces: $WAB (Wabtec), within 0.05% of its yearly high; $CSX (CSX), within 0.94% — the whole rail complex is strong; and the one that matters for the tape, $JPM (JPMorgan), within 0.38%. A megabank at new highs is the market voting on more than one company.
Search: "which big stocks are way down from their highs"
The opposite question, and the one no screener makes easy: which real companies are still deep in a hole versus their own 52-week high?
It returns: $MSTR (MicroStrategy), 78% below its high; $CSGP (CoStar), down 72%; $FISV (Fiserv), 70%; and $ORCL (Oracle), 65% — the same Oracle that showed up oversold above. Some of these are value traps and some are the best setups of the year, but you can't judge which until the search puts the list in front of you.
Search: "stocks that just turned bullish"
A "golden cross" is when the 50-day average crosses back above the 200-day — a slow, unglamorous signal that a downtrend flipped to an uptrend. It's late by design, which is why it filters out noise.
Names that crossed in just the last week or two: $AMP (Ameriprise Financial), $LH (Labcorp), $RCL (Royal Caribbean), and $GD (General Dynamics). Four very different businesses, all with their trend freshly turning up.
Search: "stocks that just turned bearish"
The mirror image — a "death cross," the 50-day falling back below the 200-day. Run it this week and it flags a cluster of consumer and defensive names that just rolled over: $TSN (Tyson Foods), $APO (Apollo Global), $SBAC (SBA Communications), and $YUM (Yum! Brands). When steady names cross down, it's worth knowing before the headline tells you.
And you can stack them
The real unlock is combining searches the same plain way. "Oversold companies still above their 200-day." "Stocks near their highs that just golden-crossed." "Beaten-down names where insiders are buying." Each of the seven above is one number computed from prices anyone can see — the only thing that's ever been missing is a way to ask the question the way you actually think it, and get real names back instead of a jargon quiz.
Every ticker here links to its full profile. The plain-English search is just the front door: you bring the question, the data brings the list.
