Stage 2 is signaled when the 200‑day EMA starts turning up
  • Hiren watches the 200‑day EMA; when it moves from flat or down to an up‑trend, it indicates the stock is entering stage 2.
  • This EMA turn suggests that long‑term buyers have taken control, providing a backdrop for short‑term momentum.
  • He uses this as a prerequisite before looking for VCP or pull‑back setups.
  • The visual cue simplifies the screening process for large‑cap versus small‑cap opportunities.
