Okay, so first thing regime held or shifted today I mean split personality short-term thrust intermediate cooling both at once. Mm-hmm. Give me the number person above the 20 day Jump to 247 up from 183 yesterday. That's a plus 64 thrust. Oh, wow. You know what? Whoa, that's a big pop huge But and here's the thing percent about the 40-day slip to 63 from 66 so the longer trend is cooling Honestly cooling exactly and bull four percent collapsed 665 down to 124 right wait say that again 665 to 124 fewer stocks are actually driving this move. Oh, man So basically it's a crowd rushing the stadium while the core fans head for the exits. That's it. That's the tape Yeah, and sectors risk on or defend full risk on industrials materials discretionary all pinned at the hundredth percentile utilities and energy lagging hard right Cyclical sprinting safety plays dumped classic rotation signature. Mm-hmm. Okay, so breath says risk on Leadership says caution. What are we holding into the club hold AMG N 390 O2 up 2.56% from open on a Q2 beat Relative volume 1.52 keep it keep it rocks up 2.93 Si at 104.74 holding gains stay in both good What do we cut KD 1380 down 6.1% risk reading 121.6 exit before the bell. I mean no hoping for a bounce. You know what none and TMD X 75.16 down 6.9 relative volume 2.8 risk 158.1 158 damaged goods don't hold a loser into the clothes praying for a reversal right so basically fold the bad hand fold it Always be in control exactly. Okay anything worth entering one clean setup dash 20640 up 2% risk just 30.2 low risk like lowest on the board if it holds green into the last hour That's your continuation entry and there's a name you're flagging as a warning ALAB 361.67 strong earnings and the shares are fading anyway wait good earnings and still fading fading still fading Respect the fade don't fight it.

What's the one thing we're watching it tomorrow's earnings reactions AMGN IQV and ALAB set the medical and chiptone right out of the gate and especially ALAB Especially ALAB if that fade spreads into the broader chip trade that's your signal mm-hmm Then dash if it holds 206.4 you've got to follow through continuation ready to go and sizing so basically smaller That bull four collapse 665 to 124 plus the 40-day dip ease off the gas Engine lights flickering exactly same road less pressure on the pedal Wait for breath to confirm before pressing longs Right right so don't chase the thrust don't chase it selective not broad Perfect, so here's the close cut the damage now hold the confirmed winners and come back tomorrow smaller and sharper until breath confirms That's the playbook that's the close see you at the bell that's all for today's episode of Wave Rider Power Hour Your final hour tactical edge see you next time
