YELP is the cleanest setup in the pool right now: it passes the shorted-value screen (shortFloat 15.71%, fwdPe 8.58, peg 0.74) AND the tape lines up across every timeframe with the stock sitting near the bottom of its recent range rather than chasing. Forecasts are uniformly positive — 1h fc_long +20.37%, 4h fc_long +37.32%, 1d fc_long +27.01%, 1wk fc_long +57.52% — with bullish_prob=1.0 and near_term_bullish=1.0. Crucially, position_in_21bar_range is 25.27% (1h), 0% (4h), 25.82% (1d) and 18.81% (1wk), so you are buying coiled weakness, not extension. Fundamentals corroborate: profitMargin 9.47%, roe 20.45%, grossMargin 86.36%, debt/eq just 0.25, and the company is profitable on a screen built for distressed shorts — that's the rare combination of 'value + balance sheet + cash flow' on a name that's been hammered (perfYtd −26.06%, perfYear −34.83%). Forward P/E under 9 with double-digit ROE is a setup short-sellers tend to lose money pressing. Compared to alternatives: CHTR's weekly fc_mid +228% and CHTR/UPWK's 0% pos-in-range look more dramatic, but CHTR's forecasts are extreme single-bar outliers and debt/eq is 5.81; UPWK has a Pomerantz Securities investigation hanging over it (May 25 headline) — that is precisely the landmine the rubric tells us to avoid for the #1 slot. CRK's 1h is already at 100% of range (chasing). CELH's near_term_bullish is only 0.2 despite the Bernstein upgrade. YELP's recent headlines are neutral-to-constructive (Insider Monkey/StockStory coverage, no guidance cut, no legal cloud). Why TODAY: 4h pos_in_range is literally 0 and 1d is 25%, meaning the stock is at the base of its short-term structure with rising mid/long-term forecasts — the asymmetric entry is now, not after a 10% rip. Waiting risks missing the +27% 1d-horizon move; the stop is well-defined just below the 1wk low.
- Short float 15.71% means a failed breakout could trigger fresh shorting pressure back toward the 1wk low (~$19).
- Revenue growth is anemic — salesYoY only 2.09% — so any guidance miss hurts more than fundamentals suggest.
- Analyst recom is 2.91 (closer to Hold) and targetUpsidePct only 17.9%, so sell-side won't carry the stock; the move must come from multiple expansion.
- 4h pos_in_range = 0% can mean basing OR continuation lower; a daily close below $21.50 invalidates the setup.
- Communication-services peers (TRIP, internet-media) are mixed; a broad sector risk-off would drag YELP regardless of its own setup.
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | YELP | BUY NOW | 8.6 | All four TFs bullish, pos-in-range 0–26%, fwdPe 8.58, no negative headlines — the cleanest risk/reward today. |
| 2 | CHTR | BUY NOW | 8.1 | Deep-value telecom at fwdPe 2.77 with 0% pos-in-range and uniformly bullish forecasts, just carries leverage risk. |
| 3 | POST | BUY NOW | 7.7 | RSI 29.3, all TFs positive, pos-in-range 0–3%, defensive cash flow at fwdPe 9.99. |
| 4 | CRK | BUY PULLBACK | 7.4 | Energy value story with Pinnacle deal catalyst, but 1h already at 100% range — wait for a dip to $12.80. |
| 5 | UPST | BUY NOW | 7.3 | 1wk fc_mid +123%, positive SeekingAlpha coverage, bullish_prob=1; high beta but setup confirms. |
| 6 | IT | BUY NOW | 7.1 | Gartner deeply oversold (RSI 26.1, pos 0% on 1d/4h/1wk), fc_long +91% (1d) with bullish_prob=1. |
| 7 | FDS | BUY PULLBACK | 6.9 | Quality name, fc_long +73% weekly, but near_term=0.4 and 1d pos-in-range 0% with recom 3.09 — slow burn. |
| 8 | CELH | BUY PULLBACK | 6.7 | Bernstein upgrade is a tailwind but near_term_bullish only 0.2 — let it consolidate. |
| 9 | UPWK | WAIT | 6.4 | Tape screams buy (1wk fc_long +221%) but the Pomerantz investigation headline is the wrong landmine to step on. |
| 10 | OWL | BUY PULLBACK | 6.3 | Asset manager at fwdPe 9.28, bullish_prob=1, but profitMargin only 2.96% and pe 112.8 — quality is mixed. |
| 11 | WU | BUY PULLBACK | 6.1 | fwdPe 3.7 and RSI 25 deeply oversold, but salesYoY −2.34% and recom 3.75 — value trap risk. |
| 12 | LRN | WAIT | 5.9 | Strong fundamentals (roe 20.14, debt/eq 0.33) but 1wk fc_mid −32.92% and 4h fc_long −26.49% conflict the daily. |
| 13 | DRVN | BUY PULLBACK | 5.7 | Reaffirmed 2026 guidance, fc_long weekly +91%, but salesYoY −11.05% is a yellow flag. |
| 14 | FOUR | WAIT | 5.6 | Setup is bullish across TFs but 'AI disruption fears' headline directly threatens the multi-expansion thesis. |
| 15 | ENOV | BUY PULLBACK | 5.4 | fc_long +120% on 1wk, recom 1.27, but profitMargin −49.84% makes it a story stock for now. |
| 16 | CWH | AVOID | 5.0 | Forecasts gigantic but two SeekingAlpha sell calls in a week and roe −35.75% — too much hair. |
| 17 | PATH | WAIT | 4.9 | Mid-term forecasts decent but near_term=0.4 and June 22 ARR-growth-test headline caps upside short-term. |
| 18 | PCRX | WAIT | 4.8 | peg 0.28 attractive but pe 181.8, profitMargin 0.7% — fundamentals don't really confirm the screen. |
| 19 | PGY | WAIT | 4.6 | Fundamentals best in pool (peg 0.18) but bullish_prob only 0.2 and 1h/4h/1wk forecasts are negative. |
| 20 | TRIP | WAIT | 4.4 | 1d pos-in-range 80% and bullish_prob 0.6 — wait for the chase to cool. |
| 21 | ASAN | WAIT | 4.2 | 1wk fc_long +380% looks like an outlier; profitMargin −20.21% and 'pressured Q1' headline argue patience. |
| 22 | GPGI | AVOID | 4.0 | salesYoY −100% with no operMargin data — screen pass on a stub, not a real thesis. |
| 23 | CXT | WAIT | 3.9 | Already extended (pos-in-range 70–88%) with fc_mid negative on 1h — wrong end of the range. |
| 24 | SBH | WAIT | 3.8 | bullish_prob=0 despite the screen pass; tape disagrees with the value setup. |
| 25 | MNDY | WAIT | 3.7 | expected_return_pct is null and recent headlines all negative — no edge today. |
| 26 | FA | AVOID | 3.5 | pe 331, profitMargin 0.53%, bullish_prob=0 — passes screen on technicality only. |
| 27 | TTEC | AVOID | 3.3 | bullish_prob null, fundamental_score 0, profitMargin −9.6%, debt/eq 11.65 — micro-cap landmine. |
| 28 | DLO | AVOID | 3.2 | Solid fundamentals but bullish_prob=0 and expected_return_pct −10.6% — tape disagrees with the screen. |
| 29 | ABX | AVOID | 2.8 | bullish_prob=0 with every fc_short/mid/long negative across all TFs — short the rip, not buy. |
| 30 | MUX | AVOID | 2.5 | bullish_prob=0, 1wk fc_long −81.6%, operMargin −1.4% — broken tape despite the screen. |
