The Importance of Technical Criteria in Short Selling

When it comes to short selling, technical indicators are critical. One of the core elements I emphasize is the importance of focusing on stocks that are already showing weakness. New lows often lead to more lows; the same way new highs tend to follow prior highs. For short setups, look for stocks trading below their 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and preferably below their 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as well. Why? These indicators tell us that buyers are unlikely to jump in and save the stock if it continues to dip. Stocks that remain below these levels are more likely to face selling pressure and less likely to attract dip buyers.
