With SPY and QQQ dark, this Midday Wave episode digs into breadth data showing a sharp 20-day thrust against a frozen 40-day trend. Tech rotation into software and cybersecurity leads the tape, but thin volume across leaders like ZS keeps the move unconfirmed — except for MSTR, which shows real conviction.
Chapter by chapter
Breadth Split: 20-Day Surge vs 40-Day Freeze
The 20-day breadth jumps 20 points in a session while the 40-day trend stays nearly flat, and sentiment readings split bullish short-term but neutral longer-term.
Tech Rotation Overtakes Energy
Technology flips bullish with RSPT at a 92nd percentile reading as Energy unwinds its late-August run, marking a clean sector rotation.
Software Leaders Rally on Thin Volume
ZS leads a 57-name cybersecurity and software continuation move, but RVOL readings between 0.2 and 0.7 signal weak conviction behind the price action.
Movers: MSTR's Real Volume vs Fading Bulls
MSTR stands out with RVOL of 2.0 on a near-13% move, while bullish-tagged OKTA and USAR fade, and OPTX shows genuine volume on a contract catalyst.
ABC Discipline: Levels to Watch
The plan stays constructive but unconfirmed — stay in ABC, require CRT volume expansion before adding size, and watch ZS and MSTR levels into the close.
Key points
20-day breadth surged 20 points in one session while 40-day breadth stayed frozen at 23.74% — a short-term thrust without intermediate confirmation.
Technology is rotating in as Energy fades, led by software and cybersecurity names, but RVOL between 0.2-0.7 across the group signals thin participation.
MSTR is the cleanest momentum trade today with RVOL of 2.0 backing a near-13% move, unlike fading bullish-tagged names OKTA and USAR.
Stay in ABC (Always Be in Control) and require CRT volume expansion before adding size — the bias is constructive but unconfirmed.
Watch ZS at 204.83 and MSTR at 153.92 into the close as the key confirmation levels for the day's thesis.
