Episode Summary

With SPY hovering near key support and NVDA earnings looming, the WaveRider team breaks down which positions to hold, cut, or enter before the close—focusing on leadership, RVOL exhaustion, and VCP breakouts.

Key Takeaways

Breadth improves late with 79% above 20 SMA, but bearish sentiment dominates (166 vs 78).
Energy sector ATR turns positive (+2.36), first sector to flip in this session.
ELVN and CRWD lead continuation signals with strong RVOL and price action.
Reversal signals cluster in low-price, high-RVOL names like FTCB and SPXX.
SIP leaders ORGO and KPRX show trial/gap momentum for low-risk entries.

Regime Check — Where Are We Now?

Today’s market shows a clear shift from yesterday’s bearish sentiment toward modest recovery, but breadth remains weak. The 4% bearish ratio rose to 166 vs. 78 bullish, but % above 20 SMA surged +12.0pp to 79% — indicating strong intraday rebound in leading names, while % above 40 SMA dropped 1.3pp to 35.51%, confirming residual downside pressure in broader indices.

Regime unchanged from morning: Sentiment remains neutral (40 SMA), but trend improved late — % above 20 SMA jumped 79% (vs 67% yesterday), showing midday reversal.
Leading sector: Energy (RSPG) rose to +2.36 ATR, first sector to turn positive, while Consumer Discretionary (RSPD) hit -0.97 — highest ATR in 95th percentile — showing sector rotation toward defensives.
Today’s character: Reversal day with late-day momentum — intraday bounce in large caps, but narrow (17 continuation signals vs 175 reversal signals), suggesting volatility, not strong trend.

Strategy Signals — Continuation, Reversal & SIP

Strongest continuation (2LYNCH) signal: ELVN at $42.21 (+8.4%) with RVOL 1.2 and risk 119.9% — strongest gain in midday continuation cluster.
Strongest reversal setup: FTCB at $20.92 (-0.3%) with RVOL 9.0 and ATR%-M -2.3 — highest RVOL in reversal list, signaling exhaustion.
SIP leaders: ORGO at $2.24 rose 1.34% on gap-up after “trial meets primary endpoint” — best SIP entry with funds increasing (-0.5% net but 202 funds).
Action code: FFM — “Find Free Money (≤2.5% risk)” — tight VCP setups with SIP validation (e.g., KPRX $2.02 +3.59% on gap) offer low-risk entries near open levels.

Closing Playbook — What To Do Now

Close positions in: FTCB/SPXX/IVOL — top reversal signals with RVOL >6.0 and minimal price moves (≤ -0.4%), indicating fading strength heading to close.
Enter if confirms: ELVN or CRWD — both in top 10 continuation with strong RVOL (1.2 & 0.8), +2.5%+ moves — wait for price to hold above 10:00 AM high.
Key level: SPY SMA20 not available — since index data unavailable, use QQQ/IWM levels only if actionable — no specific SMA support/resistance confirmed today.

Tomorrow’s Early Look

Overnight catalyst: NVDA earnings expected after close today — SIP data shows CRWD +2.5% with institutional interest — proxy for AI sector strength ahead.
Setup forming: KPRX at $2.02 (+3.59%) — 1.27 RVOL, gap +0.52 — potential VCP breakout if holds $2.00 into open tomorrow.
Regime outlook: Neutral-to-bullish if SPY (not available), but sector rotation favors Energy (RSPG) and Tech (RSPT rising from -0.55), suggesting early-morning momentum may continue.

Welcome to WaveRider Power Hour, your final hour tactical edge. Let's dive in. Late bounce? Sure. But the market's core? Still bleeding. 166 bearish to 78 bullish. That's not strength. That's a... That's a trap. Exactly. Regime's still neutral. I mean, neutral for now. 40 SMA is the line in the sand. Right. Okay, so the late rebound, was it smoke and mirrors? Honestly, leaders rallied, but only energy and tech stepped up. Discretionaries leaking. That's the real story. Oh, wow. Look, RSPD hit negative 0.97 ATR. Yeah, 95th percentile, and RSPG finally flipped positive at plus 2.36 for a sector all day. Yeah. And RSPT? Improved from negative 0.55, but it's fragile. Breath's still brutal. 166 to 78. Narrow rally. Mm-hmm. Got it. So we're not chasing. This No Not unless it confirms And speaking of confirmations what do we do with this Cut hold or enter before the bell Mm I mean what do we hold ELVN, plus 8.4% at $42.21. ARVOL 1.2, top continuation. Strong volume, sector tailwind. Hold it. Right. And CRWD? CRWD, plus 2.5%, holds VWAP. Top 10 continuation. Yes. Exactly. Both need to hold their 10 a.m. highs. That's the filter. So what do we cut? So basically, FTCB minus 0.3%, R-VOL 9.0, exhaustion signal. SPSX and iVOL 2, R-VOL greater than 6.0, less than 0.4% moves, cut them. Ah man, FTCB's R-VOL is crazy, like 9.0. That's not just high, that's exhaustion screaming. Screaming, right. That's the highest in the reversal list. Classic fade. Oh, man. Here's the thing. Any late entry worth taking? KPRX. Gap plus 0 RVOL 1 VCP breakout forming Hold for confirmation And RGO You know what? RGO. Plus 1.34% on gap up. 202 funds increasing. Net negative 0.5%. Best SIP entry of the day. Mm-hmm. Wait, hold on. RGO's funds are increasing? Even as price? As it dips? Yeah. Even as it dips slightly. That's conviction, not panic. Yeah, totally. Okay, so after the close, what's the one thing we watch? NVDA earnings. CRWD up 2.5%. It's acting as the AI sector proxy. Pre-market sentiment hinges on this. Mm-hmm. And KPRX. If it holds $2 into the open, boom, VCP confirmed. Right, right. Like regime outlook? Look, neutral to bullish if SPY holds, but energy and tech rotation gives early morning edge, especially if spy stalls. Yeah. So it's not SPY alone, it's sector. Leadership, exactly. And that why we holding ELVN and CRWD Not because they up but because they lead Mm Right right And the ones fading Yeah And what crazy is how fast they dying FTCB SPSX IVOL all top reversal signals Right. Hmm. So we're trimming dead weight before the… Storm. Exactly. And securing the helm. Yeah. So basically, final call. What's the bell ring? Hold the winners. Cut the faders. Watch NVDA. That's the match lying the fuse. Mm-hmm. And KPRX? That's the fuse itself. If it holds $2.02, boom, we're in. Right. If it holds, we're in. If not, we wait. Got it. Perfect. So before we log off, tight stops on reversals. Prescreen KPRX at $2. RGO on gap up. And remember, false bounce, real decisions. Yeah. Yeah, this close isn't about hope. It's about not blowing up. Mm-hmm. WaveRider Power Hour, signing off. That's all for today's episode of WaveRider Power Hour, your final hour tactical edge. See you next time.
