Chapter by chapter
Green Close, Falling Breadth
Indexes rally Friday but breadth drops to 31.6%, keeping the regime at Cautious-Bearish.
Hot CPI, Rally Anyway
Hotter core CPI raises hike odds to 86.5%, but falling oil and Oracle's earnings drive stocks higher regardless.
Down Week, Up Friday
Weekly index losses confirm Friday's rally was a bounce, not a trend reversal.
Oracle Sparks the Hardware Trade
Oracle's cloud growth numbers fuel a hardware rally in HPE, Dell, Super Micro, and NetApp even as Oracle stock falls.
Triple-Signal Names: Dell and HPE
Dell and HPE trigger continuation, breakout, and catalyst scans simultaneously — the highest-conviction setup type.
Security Software Downgrades
Fortinet, Check Point, Qualys, Tenable, and Varonis get hit with downgrades despite decent chart setups.
Trade Levels and Tripwires
Exact entry, stop, and target levels for HPE, Dell, and Super Micro, plus bull and bear case tripwires.
Fed Focus Ahead
Light calendar tomorrow shifts attention to Wednesday's Fed decision with the regime forecast still Cautious-Bearish.
Key points
Friday's rally was a breadth-negative bounce, not accumulation — breadth fell from 34% to 31.6% even as every index closed green.
Oracle's 121% cloud infrastructure growth and $30B+ in new AI contracts sparked a hardware rally (HPE, Dell, Super Micro, NetApp) despite Oracle's own stock falling 1.82%.
Dell and HPE are triple-signal names — continuation, breakout, and catalyst scans all aligned, marking the highest-conviction setup type.
Catalyst quality trumps chart quality: security software names with decent setups (Fortinet, Check Point, Qualys, Tenable, Varonis) still got crushed by downgrades.
Regime remains Cautious-Bearish heading into Wednesday's Fed decision, with oil ($100/$102) and the 10-year yield (4.98%) as key tripwires.
