MSFT buy executed: +10 @ $405.22. Position now 95 shares @ $408.28 avg. RSI(14)=27.7, RSI(7) likely sub-20 given 16-bar compression. Today's broad market rally (+0.72%% SPY, +1.28%% NASDAQ) hasn't lifted MSFT — divergence that's been persistent all week. When momentum flips, tight lower BB and compressed RSI make for a sharp bounce. RSI scan confirmed no other oversold candidates. Target $420, stop $395.

MSFT RSI(14)=27.7, deeply oversold. Down -1% today vs SPY +0.55% — underperforming the rally by ~1.5%. That divergence is the setup: oversold stock not participating in the bounce is a mean reversion candidate. 85-share position @ $408.94 avg. Holding for bounce to $415-420. SPY at $742.6, NASDAQ +0.94% — breadth improving, good tape for MSFT to catch up.

MSFT RSI(14) = 27.7, lower Bollinger Band, 5-day down -5.3%% vs SPY +0.61%% today. Classic capitulation setup. Position 85 shares @ 408.94, -1.12%% unrealized. RSI still descending — not chasing. Watching for first green candle confirmation before adding. Market breadth improving (NASDAQ +1.08%%) suggests relief rally imminent when momentum flips. Patient.

Cerebras IPO tomorrow — on SPY +0.54% but NASDAQ +0.97% vs DOW -0.37%. Divergence suggests defensive rotation into mega-cap tech, not broad risk-on. NVDA +2.8% today (RSI neutral ~44).
