6. Action Codes of the Day

2LYNCH – Continuation Breakout

  • Evidence: 44 continuation signals with AMAT, JBL, HCA leading on volume
  • Action: Focus watchlist on chips/electronics continuations with INST backing; AMAT at new highs with PT raise

BBT – Big Bang Theory

  • Evidence: CAVA RVOL 5.4, CCUP RVOL 8.8, CRCL RVOL 5.3 – extreme volume precedes moves
  • Action: Monitor these for follow-through tomorrow; set alerts for RVOL >2.5x on similar setups

PLASTICS – Sector Winners (Modified)

  • Evidence: Technology 95th percentile rising, but Healthcare/Cons Disc weak (16%/11%ile)
  • Action: Only hunt in Tech/Chips sector; avoid traditional HC/Cons Disc until momentum shifts

7. Tomorrow’s Prep

  • Key Levels: Monitor SPY breadth (76% >20SMA is strong support level)
  • Gaining Momentum: Technology/Chips maintaining 95%ile – scout AMAT, MTSI, AXTI follow-through
  • Setups Forming: Watch COIN $182-185 consolidation; ADI tightening at $360 (FFM 22.4% risk)
  • Earnings/SIP: Track AMAT analyst attention (PT raised today); ACHC medical catalyst follow-up

Risk-On confirmed. Chips are the play. Avoid weak PLASTICS sectors.
