NSE episodic pivots: big gaps up on heavy volume
Pradeep Bonde, who writes as Stockbee, calls a sudden repricing on news an episodic pivot. A stock gaps up sharply on an earnings surprise, a large order or a change in its story, on volume many times its normal, and often keeps moving for weeks as the market catches up. This screen finds the gaps of the last five sessions that came with that kind of volume and are still holding. Whether the news behind a gap is big enough to matter is the part only you can judge.

The exact criteria
The episodic pivot is Pradeep Bonde's, published in his Stockbee blog and member training (stockbee.blogspot.com). It is a pattern you see on a chart, so no screen reproduces it exactly: the four checks below are its measurable parts, as we read them. Treat them as a shortlist to open charts from, not the pattern itself. Stockbee's method, explained →
- 1.Opened 10% or more above the previous close, in one of the last five sessions46 pass
- 2.On volume at least three times its 50-day average that day210 pass
- 3.At least ₹5 crore traded on the day of the gap1,113 pass
- 4.Holding the gap: the latest close is above that day's low2,176 pass
Each count is that rule applied on its own to the whole NSE universe, so you can see which one is doing the work. The list above is the names that pass all of them.

Where our read differs
None of the names above currently clear our own entry filter. They qualify on the published criteria, but our model reads them as already extended. That is the gap between “this is a good trend” and “this is still enter-able”.

Questions
What is an episodic pivot?
Pradeep Bonde's term for a stock that reprices suddenly on news: a big earnings surprise, a large contract, a regulatory approval or a change in the business. The tell is a gap up on volume far above normal. His point is that the market is slow to price a real change in a company, so the move often continues long after the first day.
Why the last five sessions rather than only today?
Because the first day is rarely the only chance. Many traders wait a day or two to see whether a gap holds before acting, and a gap that is still holding after a few sessions says more than one that faded by the close. The list is ordered with the most recent gaps first.
When do episodic pivots happen most?
During results season, when companies report quarterly earnings. In the weeks between, the list is often short or empty, which is normal: the setup needs news.
