Overview
Today’s scan identified 141 total 20-week signals: 84 bullish (dollar_20_wk + pct_20_wk) versus 57 bearish (dollar_d20_wk + pct_d20_wk), a 59.6% bullish tilt. This places the market in the Balanced (40-70% bullish) zone — mixed institutional sentiment favoring selective, not broad-based, exposure.
The SA Regime reads Cautious, with breadth at just 56.3% above SMA-40 and sentiment skewed Very Bearish/Bearish. Energy (3.4% ATR%), Health Care (2.1%), and Communication Services (1.4%) lead sector volatility, while Technology (-0.7%), Real Estate (-0.8%), and Utilities (-0.9%) lag. Notably, several bullish breakouts (DELL, VICR) originate from the weakest sector (Technology), which undercuts conviction on those names despite strong price action.
Quality Assessment: 3/5. Signal volume is healthy and breadth across Energy, Health Care, Industrials, and Chemicals supports selective long exposure, but the Cautious regime and near-universal absence of confirmed institutional fund data (0 funds reported across every ticker in this scan) caps conviction. Per regime rules, only the highest-conviction setups score above 3.
Top 5 Bullish Picks
VLO ($349.94) — ENERGY / Oil&Gas-Refining/Mktg
Quality Score: 4/5. VLO sits in the market’s top-performing sector (Energy, 3.4% ATR%) and is trading just 0.2% off its 52-week high, up 159.2% off the 52-week low. ATR multiple of 6.79 confirms strong directional extension on the weekly breakout, with a controlled ADR% of 3.7%.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Current | $349.94 |
| Risk (1x ATR) | $338.80 |
| Target (2x ATR) | $372.22 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds reported, no accumulation data available (Bucket: all_unique_bucket_2_stocks).
NUTX ($187.66) — MEDICAL / Medical-Hospitals
Quality Score: 4/5. A Health Care sector leader trading 8.0% off its 52-week high but up 143.1% off the low, NUTX shows a healthy ATR multiple of 2.23 with contained LOD risk of 21.8%, suggesting a controlled breakout rather than an overextended spike.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Current | $187.66 |
| Risk (1x ATR) | $174.91 |
| Target (2x ATR) | $213.16 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds reported; no bucket classification available.
NEU ($947.29) — CHEMICAL / Chemicals-Specialty
Quality Score: 4/5. NEU is only 3.5% off its 52-week high with a disciplined ADR% of 3.4% and ATR multiple of 5.45 — one of the cleanest technical setups in the scan, backed by relative volume of 1.1x.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Current | $947.29 |
| Risk (1x ATR) | $920.23 |
| Target (2x ATR) | $1,001.41 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds reported (Bucket: funds_500).
ETON ($63.43) — MEDICAL / Medical-Development Biotech
Quality Score: 3/5. ETON posted the most explosive move in the scan — up 344.5% off its 52-week low and just 0.9% off the high — but an ATR multiple of 9.75 and LOD Risk ATR% of 91.0% signal significant overextension and elevated pullback risk despite the Health Care sector tailwind.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Current | $63.43 |
| Risk (1x ATR) | $59.66 |
| Target (2x ATR) | $70.97 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds reported (Bucket: all_unique_bucket_0_stocks).
MOG-A ($437.74) — Industrials / Aerospace & Defense
Quality Score: 3/5. MOG-A trades just 2.5% below its 52-week high, up 130.5% off the low, with a moderate ATR multiple of 1.91 and manageable LOD risk of 36.2%. Solid but not sector-leading given Industrials sits outside the top three ATR% sectors.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Current | $437.74 |
| Risk (1x ATR) | $421.09 |
| Target (2x ATR) | $471.04 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds reported; no bucket classification available.
Bearish Alerts
FFIV ($393.62, Internet) is 9.5% off its 52-week high with negative ATR multiple (-0.75), signaling waning momentum. FSLR ($220.01, Energy-Solar) has broken down sharply, 31.4% off its high despite the Energy sector’s overall strength — a divergence worth monitoring. KALU ($161.24, Metals) shows elevated relative volume (1.8x) on a -1.21 ATR multiple, indicating distribution. URI ($1,116.72, Finance/Leasing) remains just 5.3% off its high but is decelerating. COHR ($306.12, Electronics) is 30.4% off its high with 1.6x relative volume, reflecting continued technology-sector softness consistent with the regime’s bottom-sector reading.
Sector Theme
Energy and Health Care dominate bullish leadership, aligning with the regime’s top-sector ranking (VLO, ETON, NUTX). Chemicals and Industrials (NEU, MOG-A) offer secondary strength. Conversely, Technology-adjacent bullish signals (DELL, VICR) appear misaligned with the regime, as Technology ranks among the weakest sectors by ATR%, and Electronics (COHR) shows outright breakdown on the bearish side — reinforcing a cautious stance on tech exposure.
Institutional Summary
Every ticker in today’s scan — bullish and bearish alike — reported 0 funds with undefined fund-increase percentages, indicating no confirmed institutional accumulation data is currently available across this signal set. Traders should treat these breakouts as technically driven rather than institutionally confirmed, and monitor future scans for emerging fund-flow signals before scaling into positions.
