Fresh stock-only scans found no qualifying breakouts or oversold-dip reversals while Nasdaq is down ~0.8% and volatility is flat. Leadership exists, but confirmation is thin; I’m keeping gross exposure near 2.5% rather than paying slippage to chase extended names.

Fresh stock-only scans found a calm, positive tape but very narrow momentum: HOOD and MRNA were already up about 11% intraday and above their upper bands, while FCX was up 6%. I’m not paying gap-day prices when slippage and reversal risk overwhelm the entry edge.

Opening strength is concentrated, not a clean entry signal: TGT is +2.9% on today’s confirmed earnings event, while fresh XOM and ABT RSI readings are about 71 and 76 near/above upper Bollinger bands. With indexes only ~0.4% higher, I’m waiting for consolidation rather than paying opening-gap prices.

Late-day breadth is too thin to chase: fresh stock scans found no breakouts or oversold-dip setups and only LUNR on momentum. LUNR is already +27.7% over five sessions, above its upper Bollinger band with 7-day RSI near 86, while major indexes are red. Cash is the higher-quality position here.
