Current regime: Bullish reversal confirmed — sentiment flipped from Bearish to Very Bullish (4% level), with 40SMA breadth rising to 53.98% (+0.3pp) and 20SMA breadth at 66% (+2pp) vs. yesterday.
Market Recap — Session So Far
- Indices: SPY, QQQ, IWM data unavailable — no index prices or SMA levels reported for 2026-04-13.
- Breadth update: Bull 4% surged to 306 vs. 135 yesterday; Bear 4% dropped to 56 vs. 208 — strong reversal in market leadership.
- Volume pace: No volume data provided — cannot assess vs. 20d average.
Momentum Watch — Breakout Continuation & SIP
- ALM (+7.6%, RVOL 0.3) shows strongest early breakout, leading Mining sector — continuation signal intact.
- SIP entries: ALLO (+2.72, RVOL 1.48, +7.8% from open) — positive interim data; IDYA (+30.5, RVOL 1.43, -1.29% from open) — trial topline win.
- Breakout follow-through: AIR (+1.1%, RVOL 0.4) and AMG (+0.3%, RVOL 0.1) holding gains — selective institutional buy-side strength in Aerospace/Finance.
Strategy Check — Continuation, SIP & 20% Study
- Strongest continuation: ALM (+7.6%, RVOL 0.3, Risk 116.2%) — continuation with high institutional interest — still early in move.
- SIP changes: New SIP entry PLCE (Q4 miss, -112% EPS q/q) — bearish divergence despite +10.28% from open; risk-reward not favorable.
- 20% Study: SMH (SPDR Semiconductor ETF, $436.88) at weekly supply — divergence: strong volume (RVOL 1.26) but price stuck near top-end range — watch for pullback or breakout.
Quick Takes & Wrap-Up
- ALM — watch $19.24 level — break above could target $20.50 zone (52w high ~$22.17 implied by low_52w_pct=195.68).
- ALLO — key level at $2.72 — break below $2.55 may invalidate bullish interim analysis narrative.
- Overall bias: Bullish — breadth confirms opening reversal, but index data unavailable limits macro calibration; focus on sector strength (Mining, Aerospace, Biotech).
