Additional quick notes
– Steel complex: NUE mirrors STLD’s strength; same grind-higher structure if you prefer NUE’s liquidity.
– Managed care: HUM and UNH quietly bid; continuation likely if market stays firm, but ranges were modest.
– If tech softens broadly (GOOG/GOOGL/SNPS), favor semis/equipment (SITM/CAMT/TSM) which showed better RS today.

Risk management
– Use stops just below the identified support zones.
– If SPY loses 683.5 decisively and breadth weakens, tighten risk or wait for supports to confirm.
– Position size assuming normal liquidity for each name; reduce size for thinner tickers.
