Overview
The August 22 scan recorded 316 total 20-week signals: 150 bullish (47.5%) versus 166 bearish (52.5%). This near-even split places the market in a Balanced sentiment zone — mixed institutional positioning rather than a clean directional push. Combined with the SA Regime reading of Cautious and breadth of just 54.9% of names above their SMA-40, the tape is rotational, not trending.
Leadership is concentrated in Health Care (3.6% ATR%), Energy (3.4%), and Communication Services (2.4%), while Technology (-1.1%) and Utilities (-2.4%) lag. Notably, most of today’s top bullish movers are thinly-traded ETF/ETN products with minimal institutional footprints (0-3 funds), which tempers conviction despite outsized percentage moves.
Quality Score: 2/5. In a Cautious regime, only the highest-conviction setups should score 4+. Today’s bullish leaders skew toward low-float, low-institutional ETNs with extreme ATR multiples (up to 11.98x) — a profile better suited to tactical trading than core accumulation. Selectivity is warranted.
Top 5 Bullish Picks
BHYP ($42.15) — ETF/ETN/CEF, Finance-ETF/ETN
Weekly Momentum: BHYP posted a 20-week breakout with an ATR Multiple of 4.20 and ADR% of 4.5%, trading just 2.1% off its 52-week high. Relative volume of 1.3x confirms steady demand, though institutional presence remains thin at 3 funds (3.5% ownership).
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry | $42.15 |
| Stop (1.5x ATR) | $39.02 |
| Target 1 (2x ATR) | $46.33 |
| Target 2 (3x ATR) | $48.42 |
Institutional Interest: 3 funds holding 3.5% of shares; increase data unavailable.
ETHT ($16.38) — ETF/ETN/CEF, Finance-ETF/ETN
Weekly Momentum: An extreme ATR Multiple of 11.98 and 68.2% LOD Risk ATR% signal explosive, high-volatility action. Volume surged to 3.74M (2.0x average), though the stock is still 87.6% below its 52-week high — this is a sharp bounce, not a breakout continuation.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry | $16.38 |
| Stop (1.5x ATR) | $15.06 |
| Target 1 (2x ATR) | $18.14 |
| Target 2 (3x ATR) | $19.02 |
Institutional Interest: 0 funds; no institutional sponsorship currently detected.
SUJA ($7.68) — Food/Bev, Beverages-Non-Alcoholic
Weekly Momentum: SUJA stands out with the strongest institutional base among today’s leaders — 43 funds holding 48.6% of shares. High ADR% (11.3%) and 2.0x relative volume support the move, though a negative ATR Multiple (-1.47) suggests recent price/ATR compression ahead of the breakout.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry | $7.68 |
| Stop (1.5x ATR) | $6.39 |
| Target 1 (2x ATR) | $9.40 |
| Target 2 (3x ATR) | $10.26 |
Institutional Interest: 43 funds, 48.6% ownership — the standout institutional signal of the session.
AEHL ($6.28) — Building, Building-Construction Products
Weekly Momentum: AEHL shows the highest ADR% of the group (22.2%), reflecting significant daily volatility. Volume was light at 0.7x average, and the stock sits 99.2% below its 52-week high, marking a speculative, low-liquidity rebound.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry | $6.28 |
| Stop (1.5x ATR) | $3.60 |
| Target 1 (2x ATR) | $9.86 |

Weekly Momentum: CRCG saw the heaviest volume surge of the top movers — 7.998M shares versus 3.257M average (2.5x relative volume), with a 4.05 ATR Multiple and 13.9% ADR%. Still 88.3% off its 52-week high, this is a volatile short-term momentum play.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry | $15.13 |
| Stop (1.5x ATR) | $12.64 |
| Target 1 (2x ATR) | $18.45 |
| Target 2 (3x ATR) | $20.11 |

Bearish Alerts
Bearish signals (166) narrowly outnumber bullish ones, led entirely by ETF/ETN/CEF products: CBRX (-0.92 ATR Mult, 1.9x rel vol), AEHG (-0.10 ATR Mult), RDWU (-0.21 ATR Mult, thin 0.2x volume), COHH (-1.35 ATR Mult, 2.0x volume), and BEG (-1.64 ATR Mult, 2 funds). None show institutional backing beyond BEG’s 2 funds, reinforcing that this is retail-driven distribution in leveraged/thematic ETN wrappers rather than a broad operating-company breakdown.
Sector Theme
Both bullish and bearish leadership boards are dominated by Finance-ETF/ETN names, indicating elevated volatility in leveraged and thematic products rather than a coherent sector rotation. Among traditional sectors, Health Care and Energy show the strongest ATR% expansion, aligning with defensive-cyclical positioning typical of a Cautious regime, while Technology and Utilities remain under pressure.
Institutional Summary
SUJA leads by a wide margin with 43 funds and 48.6% institutional ownership — the only name in today’s list with meaningful smart-money accumulation. BHYP (3 funds, 3.5%) and FUTG (2 funds, 1.0%) trail well behind. The majority of top movers, including ETHT, CRCG, XRPT, BMNG, and FSOL, report zero institutional funds, underscoring that today’s breakout activity is largely speculative and volume-driven rather than institutionally sponsored.
