    Resistance Stock Scans
    These scans identify stocks which either failed at a moving average (x DMA Resistance) or those which were able to break through (Crossed Above x DMA) resistance.

    The "BB Squeeze + Upper Band Touch" scan identifies stocks which are in a a Bollinger Band Squeeze and also touched their upper band. That is a scenario which can frequently lead to price reversing toward the lower band.

    The "Multiple of Ten Bearish" scan finds stocks which were rejected by a "round" number (10, 20, 30...), which are often key psychological levels. That's a good one to use in a Combo Scan along with something like a Shooting Star, Stochastic Sell Signal or one of the moving average resistance scans.
