Screening Metaverse Stocks with Rising Averages and Weekly MACD

Summary

This stock-selection approach screens for companies associated with the metaverse theme, then applies two trend filters: a rising 30-day moving average and weekly MACD above its zero line. The stated rationale is to focus on stocks in the chosen theme that also show upward price direction and positive momentum. The article includes reference expressions and a sample Python-style implementation of the filters, though the implementation’s MACD field and timing assumptions are not fully explained.

The article identifies several limitations: it omits fundamental analysis and longer-term trend assessment, and its simple conditions may be poorly suited to complex market conditions. It suggests adding valuation or other fundamental measures, capital-flow indicators, and periodic review of the rules. No backtest methodology, return figures, benchmark, or transaction-cost analysis is supplied, so the screening logic should be understood as a proposed filter rather than an empirically validated strategy.

Key ideas

• The screen first selects stocks associated with the metaverse theme.
• It requires the 30-day moving average to slope upward and weekly MACD to be above zero.
• The filters are intended to combine thematic exposure with trend and momentum conditions.
• The article notes that the rules omit fundamental analysis and may not capture longer-term trends.
• It proposes considering capital flows and revisiting the filters as market conditions change.
• No backtest results or transaction-cost analysis are provided.
