Q2 revenue grew 28% to 8bn but earnings missed, free cash flow collapsed ~91% to and 2026 capex was guided up to ~$135bn - the market cut the stock 8% on the print and it has not recovered. The shares sit 10% below our stop for a ninth session, 12% under our cost, and below every moving average we track, while the model projects no recovery at any horizon out to 12 weeks. Valuation is only fair, so there is nothing cheap to wait for. / L2 fires both legs (decisive stop break -10.21% + dead 12wk: Est_12W 565.58 < 1.02x close 567.84). 2nd consecutive settled STRONG SELL - REDUCE (BreakdownDown_52W cv85 -> RallySell_BearTrend cv68, Sell_Rank 3). adj 63 sits below the 65 floor after the -5 RallySell_BearTrend/sell haircut, but L2 is an independent exit basis. MoS -0.92 > -3 so no valuation tier bump. 8th re-fire, repriced 539..71. Stop held at the broken 620.00 for monitor continuity until the exit fills. Analyst median PT noted and rejected - trade the signal. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 182.82 | SELL 50% | 182.82 | 168.00 | 184.44 (+0.9%) | 187.56 (+2.6%) | 192.32 (+5.2%) | Halve our largest holding and keep the other half. KLA has now printed a top-ranked sell signal two sessions running, and the chart has broken down beneath its 20-, 50- and 100-day averages with only the 200-day still holding - the stock is 40% below its 52-week high. Set against that, the business itself is doing well: record fiscal Q4 revenue on AI-infrastructure and advanced-packaging demand, and Wall Street still rates it a Moderate Buy with an average target of (+23%). Intrinsic value says the opposite - the shares are richly priced. Selling half banks a solid gain while keeping a full stake in the recovery case. / 2 consecutive settled STRONG SELL - REDUCE cv76 Sell_Rank 1 = US-18 SATISFIED (J30C lone flip, J31C confirms); US-19 classes a stable SELL-REDUCE as a hard tick, immediately executable. adj 78 = highest in the book either side. G1 no protection (bearish signal, not a fresh breakout); G3 passes on its bearish-signal limb. G2 SUPPRESSES the valuation amplify - MoS -4.41 would bump but Est_12W 192.32 is 1.93x the 99.91 DCF anchor (unreliable), so no bump. Sized to the 50% tier not the engine's 88.52 per US-12/US-22 keep-core and all prior KLAC cards. ADR-0012 armed (T12_Progress 95.06, Gain_ATR 0.48, +4.02% over the 175.75 cost) but ZERO ticks - the profit-take contributes nothing; the trim rides on the stable REDUCE alone. Trail on the retained 500 stays 168.00, deliberately NOT raised to EMA200 171.19 - halving is already the de-risk, double-tightening into a 14.81 ATR invites a whipsaw. Re-arm on a 3rd bearish print or a close below 168.00. |\n| NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | 200.75 | SELL 30% | 200.75 | 188.00 | 200.21 (-0.3%) | 196.94 (-1.9%) | 199.54 (-0.6%) | Take 30% off Nvidia and keep 70. The position has reached its 12-week price objective, and the model now projects essentially nothing further in any direction - flat to slightly negative at one week, four weeks and twelve weeks alike. The stock rose 2.9% on the session as Amazon and Microsoft raised capital spending, and the order book is enormous (~$1tn of Blackwell and Vera Rubin commitments through 2027), but Nvidia is still 18% below its June high and has lagged every chip peer this year, with renewed questions about circular financing around the reported $250bn OpenAI backstop. Banking part of a fully-realised target while keeping the majority for the next product cycle. / ADR-0012 profit-take: ARMED on T12_Progress 100.61 (close-vs-target, needs no, so NOT the GOOGL loss-artifact) + soft tick (c) dead forward (Est_12W 199.54 < 1.02x close 204.77). One soft tick -> profit_take_1 30%, never more. DE-ESCALATED from the pending 07-31 50% card per US-19: the hard leg (3 consecutive STRONG SELL - REDUCE + broken stop) dissolved into NO TRADE cv0 with the close back above the 188 stop, so US-17 strips the signal-sell basis and only the profit-take survives. Tick (b) EXPLICITLY DECLINED - conviction is the sell case dissolving, not position deterioration. Tick (d) needs a 2nd consecutive NO TRADE; this is the first. MoS -2.07 > -3, no tier bump. Est_12W exceeds the 163.98 DCF anchor - annotated, not modified. SHARED WITH ussemicon - EXECUTE ONCE (L7). Retained 70 keep the 188.00 stop. |\n| GOOGL | Alphabet, Inc.- Class A | 356.13 | HOLD | 356.13 | 329.00 | 357.98 (+0.5%) | 363.80 (+2.2%) | 385.49 (+8.2%) | Hold Alphabet and raise the stop to The stock jumped 6.7% - the biggest move in the book - as investors rotated out of the chip complex and back into a beaten-down megacap, reclaiming its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day averages in a single session. The model's sell flag appeared for the first time tonight, but a single flip on the day a stock breaks out in every direction is not a reason to sell; the 12-week view remains 8% higher. Cloud revenue grew 82% to 8bn with a $514bn backlog. / STRONG SELL - REDUCE cv73 Sell_Rank 2 NOT FIRED: a LONE flip out of 3 consecutive NO TRADE cv0, and US-18 requires a 2nd consecutive settled print or a close below invalidation - neither holds. Firing here would be the NBIS trim error in textbook form. Forward alive at every horizon (1wk +0.5%, 4wk +2.2%, 12wk +8.25%). ADR-0012 armed (T12_Progress 92.38) but zero ticks - tick (c) alive by a wide margin (385.49 vs the 363.25 threshold) - so trail-raise, not trim. Overlay '<345' override now HEALED, cleared by +3.2%. Stop 319..00 (model Stop_Price 329.02). RE-ARM on a settled close below 329.00 or a 2nd consecutive bearish print. |\n| LLY | Eli Lilly & Co | 1148.84 | HOLD | 1148.84 | 1155.71 | 1158.88 (+0.9%) | 1144.31 (-0.4%) | 1187.10 (+3.3%) | Hold Lilly into its Q2 report on 5 August. The shares slipped 0.5% and sit a fraction below our trailing stop - a marginal breach, not a decisive break - and the signal has been quietly weakening for four sessions. With earnings two trading days away and consensus looking for 30% revenue growth (Goldman keeps a Buy and a target), the disciplined move is to hold through the event rather than sell into it on a fractional stop touch. / Trail 1155.71 STANDS - a trail is never lowered, and the model Stop_Price 1076.75 prints below it; it will keep flagging on the monitor, correctly. Breach 0.59% = MARGINAL, 2nd consecutive session (same test that correctly held KLAC at -0.47% on 07-30). 7th consecutive FailedBreakdown_Up_20D but conviction DECAYING -> (-23 over 4 sessions; EOD-over-EOD -11, inside the -20 tick) - flagged as a deteriorating signal even without a label change. Armed (T12_Progress 96.78), tick (c) alive but THIN (1187.10 vs the 1171.82 threshold, +1.3% headroom). Catalyst-aware HOLD per the trim-discipline gates: Q2 08-05 BMO is inside 5 sessions, so trim only on a confirmed lower-high or a decisive break. Lost EMA20 1176.33; holds EMA50 1138.13 / EMA100 1085.51 / EMA200 1018.90. ACTION THRESHOLD: a DECISIVE close below 1120.00, or a post-earnings breakdown. |\n| MU | Micron Technology, Inc. | 823.03 | HOLD | 823.03 | 770.00 | 823.22 (+0.0%) | 913.15 (+10.9%) | 1064.94 (+29.4%) | Hold Micron. The stock gave back 5.9%, roughly a third of Thursday's 18% surge, but it remains comfortably above our stop and above its 100-day average, and the 12-week view is still nearly 30% higher. The model has no active signal either way, which on its own is never a reason to sell. / -5.90% to 823.03, back to -4.24% under the 859.49 cost, but +6.9% above the raised 770.00 stop and above EMA100 772.72; below EMA20 907.41 / EMA50 892.61. NO TRADE cv0 is never a dispose basis (US-17). NOT armed (T12_Progress 77.28, no PROFIT_ARMED flag). The 07-30 trim stays WITHDRAWN and survives its first real test - nothing re-arms. 12wk band [459.70-1795.81] = 3.9x wide, near-uninformative (systemic 4). AMD Q2 on 08-04 carries an HBM read-through. Overlay invalidation (HBM pricing cracks / decisive stop break) UNTRIGGERED. Stop 770.00 stands. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group, N.V. | 190.41 | HOLD | 190.41 | 153.00 | 198.91 (+4.5%) | 215.11 (+13.0%) | 300.44 (+57.8%) | Hold Nebius. Up another 1.1%, extending the recovery from last week's washout, and now back above both its 100- and 200-day averages. Still 10% under our cost, but the 12-week view is materially higher and there is no active sell signal. / +1.05% to 190.41, -10.01% under the 211.60 cost. NO TRADE cv0 (US-17). Holds EMA100 186.57 and EMA200 154.29; below EMA20 198.16 / EMA50 204.78. NOT armed (T12_Progress 63.38). 12wk 300.44 = +57.8% but the band [112.69-584.41] is 5.2x wide - near-uninformative (systemic 4); do not size off it. No confirmed Meta contract impairment -> the overlay override remains UNTRIGGERED. Q2 ~08-12. Stop 153.00 stands. |\n| OKTA | Okta Inc. | 141.93 | HOLD | 141.93 | 132.00 | 143.04 (+0.8%) | 146.88 (+3.5%) | 160.14 (+12.8%) | Hold Okta and raise the stop to This is the one holding whose signal is actually strengthening - conviction improved for a third straight session and the position is now back above our cost, with the model pointing roughly 13% higher over twelve weeks. Raising the stop locks in the recovery without crowding the trade. / +1.08% to 141.93, +1.52% over the 139.80 cost. 3rd consecutive FailedBreakdown_Up_20D with conviction improving -> 64 - the only strengthening held name in the book. Forward +0.8% / +3.5% / +12.8%. NOT armed (T12_Progress 88.63 < 90, Gain_ATR 0.33 << 3.0). Model Stop_Price 137.76 is only 0.64 ATR below the close - too tight to adopt; 132.00 sits ~1.5 ATR below and under EMA20 138.88. Well clear of EMA50 126.93. Stop 130..00. |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | Hold SpaceX on the manual stop, but be aware this is the most event-loaded name in the book and both catalysts land within days. The company reports its first-ever quarterly results as a public company on 4 August, with no reporting history and no established guidance to anchor expectations. Two trading days later, on 6 August, roughly 911.5m shares - about $116bn worth - become eligible to trade in one of the largest lock-up expirations in recent market history. Morgan Stanley argues the fundamentals are largely unchanged and the pressure creates an entry point; we are not adding into it. / Private/unquoted, permanently absent from the scan - muted on signals (no action, conviction, entry or targets synthesised), news-assessed every run per the edge-case rule. Maiden Q2 08-04 AMC (8bn revenue, ~-EPS expected); stock ~47% off its post-IPO high and below the Jun-12 offer price. Lock-up 08-06 staggered: ~20% post-earnings, then ~7% tranches ~08-21 and ~09-10 - insiders could sell up to ~44% by early September. Musk + core insiders locked to mid-2027. Float expansion opens Nasdaq-100 / Russell index-eligibility mechanics from 08-07, no confirmed effective date. Horizon bands: earnings +/-18%, lock-up -25%/+10%. A scan Close < 135.00 AUTO-UNMUTES and becomes a full-exit trigger. |\n| AMZN | Amazon.com Inc | 271.58 | NO ACTION | 258.34 | 215.89 | 273.32 (+5.8%) | 278.00 (+7.6%) | 285.17 (+10.4%) | Not buying Amazon despite the strongest buy signal in the book. Ledgered so the counterfactual grader prices what declining it cost or saved. / Top-ranked STRONG BUY cv80 Buy_Rank 1 on BreakoutUp_20D, TRIPLE-BLOCKED: (1) cell bias -7 plus val_adj -10 (MoS -1.93) -> adj 63, below the 65 floor; (2) Quality_Pass FALSE (F=6) blocks new entries outright; (3) EXTENDED - Entry_Distance_ATR -0.97 with the close 271.58 sitting +5.1% past the 258.34 model entry after a one-session jump from 235.50 (AVOID cv78 the night before). Chasing this is the exact L6/US-9 failure mode. Not queued: the entry is 5% below the market and the quality gate would still block a fill. |\n| VIST | Vista Energy, S.A.B. de | 70.45 | BUY-STOP | 71.23 | 61.99 | 70.72 (-0.7%) | 71.44 (+0.3%) | 74.86 (+5.1%) | Not queuing Vista Energy tonight, but flagging it as the best new-entry prospect this book has produced in weeks. It is the first candidate in a long stretch that is both attractively valued on intrinsic worth and passes our quality screen, and it trades above every moving average we track. The anticipation signal appeared only tonight, and our rule requires it to persist before we commit capital. / BUY - ANTICIPATE cv76, val_adj +2 (UNDERVALUED, MoS +0.08, Quality_Pass True, F=7, DCF 86.44 vs close 70.45) -> adj 78, comfortably over the 55 anticipate floor.

Above EMA20 66.58 / EMA50 67.23 / EMA100 66.01 / EMA200 61.39; RSI 59.4, not extended. Directly relevant to the US-20 systemic finding - the first Quality_Pass-True buy source in weeks. RE-ARM: if it prints BUY - ANTICIPATE again on 08-03 it becomes slot-eligible and should be queued as a GTC buy-stop at the then-current Entry_Price, 0.5x normal new-BUY. |\n\n_Track record: 109 graded decisions · 1-week calibration -0.132._\n\n> Educational content, not financial advice.

The stock fell ~9-10% on the print and ten brokers cut price targets, Wells Fargo from. The chart agrees with the fundamentals: a 52-week breakdown at the highest sell conviction in the book, trading below every major moving average and 13% under its stop, with the forward view flat at all three horizons.

The engine flipped to a sell print, but every hard test fails: the stop is 11% away, the position is back in profit, and the forward view is positive at all three horizons, +2.6% / +4.5% / +9.0%. The fundamentals point the same way - record Q4 revenue on accelerating AI infrastructure spend, advanced packaging growing ~70% year-on-year, and a Street consensus of Moderate Buy with an average target, 24% above the close. We hold the full position and tighten the trailing stop instead. OPS: STRONG SELL - REDUCE cv76 Sell_Rank 2 Portion 88.52% is a LONE flip out of HOLD / ReversalUp_Oversold cv46 - US-18 requires a 2nd consecutive settled print OR a close below the trail invalidation, and neither holds. L2 fails on both legs (no stop break, 12wk +8.96%). ADR-0012 armed (T12_Progress 91.78, Gain_ATR 0.29 - genuinely in profit this time, not the loss-artifact) but NOT FIRED: no second Exit_Warning code, no >=20pt conviction collapse, forward alive, no repeated NO TRADE -> mandatory trail-raise, not a trim. Counterfactual optional_trim n=18 median wh_4w -10.85% [SAVED] supports. This is the book's largest position (, ~27%) and the third consecutive night of declining to sell it - a deliberate, stated risk. TRAIL RAISED 162..00 (a decisive break of EMA200 171.16). RE-ARM: the 50% trim fires immediately on a 2nd consecutive bearish settled print, a settled close below 168.00, or Est_12W turning negative.

The position has recovered from -30% to -11% against cost in two sessions, reclaimed both its 200-day and 100-day lines, and carries a +42.9% twelve-week view. Nothing in the sell case survived; we hold and raise the stop. OPS: the 50% trim withdrawn on 07-30 stays withdrawn and is now strongly vindicated. NO TRADE cv0 - never a dispose basis (US-17). Still no confirmed Meta contract impairment, so the overlay override remains NOT triggered. Reclaimed EMA200 153.98 and EMA100 186.50. STOP RAISED 135..00 (just below the reclaimed EMA200) = the re-arm trigger. The 12wk band [111.68-591.00] is a 5.3x spread at Conf 80 - near-uninformative, cited with that caveat.

We hold on the existing stop. OPS: exit stays WITHDRAWN, 8th session. NO TRADE cv0 for a 4th+ consecutive session - never a dispose basis (US-17; cell NoTrade/sell -1). ADR-0012 nominally armed (T12_Progress 92.87) and tick (d) repeated-NO-TRADE technically fires, but the fire is DECLINED on three grounds: (i) no in the portfolio JSON so Gain_ATR is unknown and PROFIT_ARMED is unverifiable - the known loss-artifact, systemic finding 4; (ii) tick (c) is alive, forward +7.7%; (iii) US-19 bars re-firing a soft-tick-only trim across consecutive EODs on a name whose forward keeps oscillating - GOOGL already fired-and-withdrew this exact trim on 07-09/10 and again on 07-30. Stop 319.00 (EMA200 320.14) held. Overlay '<345' line still triggered but healing - needs +3.4%, having slipped from +2.5% yesterday. Est_12W exceeds the DCF anchor 145.29 - annotated, not modified.

Q2 earnings land on 5 August, three sessions away. Our rule for a held name with a catalyst inside a week is to hold and trail through the event rather than pre-trim into it, and the signal is still constructive with a positive twelve-week view. We hold. OPS: 6th consecutive FailedBreakdown_Up_20D, cv. Breach is MARGINAL (-0.06%), not decisive - the same test that correctly held KLAC at -0.47% on 07-30. Catalyst-aware hold governs (Q2 08-05 BMO). Lost EMA20 1179.23 today but holds EMA50 1137.69 / EMA100 1084.32 / EMA200 1018.87. ADR-0012 armed (T12_Progress 97.30) but NOT fired: cv drop is 6 versus the -20 tick, and tick (c) is alive though thin (Est_12W 1187.01 vs the 1178.07 threshold). Model Stop_Price printed 1083.03, BELOW the standing trail - a trail is never lowered, so 1155.71 STANDS as the stop of record and will keep flagging on the monitor, correctly. Est_12W exceeds the DCF anchor 387.04 - annotated, not modified. ACTION threshold is a DECISIVE close below 1120.00 (~-3%) or a post-earnings breakdown. |\n| OKTA | Okta Inc. | 140.42 | HOLD | 140.42 | 130.00 | 141.25 (+0.6%) | 145.42 (+3.6%) | 158.51 (+12.9%) | Okta added 2.6% to close above our cost for the first time since the July add, on a second consecutive constructive print and a +12.9% twelve-week view. It sits well clear of its 50-day line. We hold and tighten the stop to lock in the recovery. OPS: 2nd consecutive FailedBreakdown_Up_20D cv51; +0.44% on the 139.80 cost. NOT armed (T12_Progress 88.59 < 90, Gain_ATR 0.10 well under 3.0) so no profit-take question arises. Model Stop_Price 135.88 prints ABOVE the standing 124.00 trail but is only 0.71 ATR below the close - too tight for this name's volatility. STOP RAISED 124..00 (~1.6x ATR below close, under EMA20 138.55). Est_12W exceeds the DCF anchor 107.59 - annotated, not modified. |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | SpaceX has no public quote so it stays muted on signals, but its calendar is now the most loaded in the book. The maiden quarterly report as a public company lands 4 August, with 8bn of revenue and a per-share loss expected, and two days later roughly 911.5 million shares worth ~$116bn come off lock-up - with insiders able to sell as much as 44% of the company by early September, expanding the float around ninefold. Morgan Stanley argues the fundamentals are largely unchanged and the pressure creates an entry point. We are not adding into that, and we are not exiting a position we cannot price: we hold on the manual stop through both events. OPS: permanently absent from the scan (private/unquoted) - muted per the edge case, news-assessed every run. Classification CONCERN, both catalysts INSIDE 5 sessions. Horizon bands: earnings +/-18%, lock-up -25%/+10%. Further ~7% tranches ~08-21 and ~09-10; a 10% tranche unlocks if the stock trades 30% above the IPO price, above; Musk and core insiders stay locked to mid-2027. Index-eligibility mechanics open 08-07. Manual stop 135.00; a scan Close < 135 AUTO-UNMUTES and becomes a full-exit trigger. |\n| WDS | Woodside Energy Goup Ltd | 23.38 | NO ACTION | 23.38 | 21.19 | 23.43 (+0.2%) | 24.35 (+4.1%) | 26.38 (+12.8%) | Highest-conviction buy candidate in the book and the cleanest entry in weeks - a third consecutive STRONG BUY on a 20-day breakout, sitting exactly at the model entry with no chase - but it fails the quality screen and cannot be opened as a new position. OPS: STRONG BUY cv90 Buy_Rank 1, escalating -> 90, entry 23.38 = close (eD 0.00, RSI 68.04), above every EMA. val_adj -4 (MoS -0.80), cell BreakoutUp_20D/buy -7 -> adj 79, comfortably clear of the 65 floor. BLOCKED: Quality_Pass False (F-Score 4, GROWTH_PRICED_IN, Rev_Growth -1.5%). 13th consecutive session with no admissible new BUY (US-20).

OPS: BUY cv81 Buy_Rank 2, at entry, RSI 61.9. Two independent bars: val_adj -10 (MoS -18.97, the most extreme in the pool) plus cell FailedBreakdown_Up_20D/buy -7 -> adj 64, BELOW the 65 floor; and Quality_Pass False (F-Score 5). L1/US-16 also discount this momentum-chase family. |\n| AMKR | Amkor Technology | 48.26 | NO ACTION | 48.26 | 38.27 | 51.23 (+6.2%) | 56.66 (+17.4%) | 60.52 (+25.4%) | Amkor flipped from a hard breakdown straight to an oversold-reversal buy on the sector bounce, but that is a single-session reversal on a name that fell 30% in three days, and it fails the quality screen. No action. OPS: BUY cv70 Buy_Rank 3, fresh flip from AVOID / BreakdownDown_20D cv83, RSI 33.48, still below EMA20 62.49 / EMA50 67.42 / EMA100 64.52. val_adj -6 (MoS -1.11); the ReversalUp_Oversold/buy cell is NOT yet actionable (report-only, no bias applied) - flagged, because this family generated most of tonight's signal churn and has zero graded history. adj 64, BELOW the 65 floor.

No chase. OPS: BUY cv65 Buy_Rank 4, conviction DEGRADED while the price rose 5.4%. RSI 74.07 and close 298.10 is above the 293.87 buy-stop (eD -0.26, at the no-chase boundary). val_adj -8 (MoS -1.66), cell BreakoutUp_20D/buy -7 -> adj 50, far below the floor.

The chart confirms the de-rating - a second consecutive bearish signal print and a decisive break of the 198.40 stop, with the 20-, 50- and 100-day averages all lost. Demand is not the question here; the multiple is. We keep half for the trend and reset the stop to the 200-day average. Ops: escalated from the unexecuted 30% card per US-19 hard-tick carve-out (2nd decisive stop break is a new hard fact). Valuation amplify SUPPRESSED by G2 (DCF 93.26 unreliable vs Rev_Growth 33.5%). Scorecard cell RallySell_BearTrend/sell is -5 (n=5, hit_1w.25) and argues AGAINST - overridden on concentration + realised post-print de-rating, not on a bearish forward. Est_* computed pre-print, stale to the upside. REPRICE at the open (~176-177 expected, >1.5% gap); execute at market, do not cancel. Core 500, reset stop 171.00 (EMA200).

SK Hynix is slowing its high-bandwidth-memory expansion and China's ChangXin Memory completed its Shanghai IPO on the same day, reviving fears that Chinese supply undercuts pricing - Micron fell 8.9% (13.6% intraday) and the memory complex has now formally entered a bear market, giving back 30-50% of a 600% run. Our standing research condition for exiting this name was 'HBM pricing or demand cracks, or a decisive stop break'; both legs triggered at once. Because this is a sector-wide crack rather than a company-specific one, we halve and keep the core rather than exiting. Ops: overlay invalidation TRIGGERED, news-override force - this is the basis, NOT the NO TRADE label (US-17/US-29). L2 does NOT fire (12wk forward +17.4%, strongly positive); carried on US-23 (forward lags a regime shift) + the triggered override. Sizing 50% per US-12/US-22 sector-crack doctrine. Est_12W band [436-1836] is near-uninformative. Supersedes the 07-28 conjunctive deferral. Core 50, reset stop 770.00 (EMA100).

The position is 6.6% underwater, has spent five sessions below our 620 stop, trades below every major moving average, and the model's own forward view is negative at one, four and twelve weeks. The signal has now turned explicitly bearish after three quiet sessions. The options market implies a ~7% move on tonight's results, and the setup rhymes with last quarter, when Meta beat estimates and the stock still fell 9% the next day because capital-spending guidance kept rising - it now stands at -145bn for 2026. There is no modelled upside to justify holding a loser through a coin-flip event. Ops: L2 fires cleanly (decisive stop break + negative 12wk, both legs). 5th re-fire of an unexecuted card (L3). Signal cell FailedBreakout_Down_20D/sell is +2 (n=10, hit_1w.60) - the book's most reliable sell cell, supports. PROFIT_ARMED is the known loss-artifact (Gain_ATR -2.00), ignored.

On Tuesday Apple briefly became only the second company ever worth trillion, touching a record 342.89 while semiconductors were routed, and it is the only name in our entire buy list that passes the quality screen (F-Score 9). The order is a stop above the market, so it fills only if Apple breaks to a fresh all-time high - never on weakness. Risk is deliberately capped: half-normal size, a 7% stop, roughly at risk. Ops: signal family MomentumContinuation_Up is the book's WORST buy cell (bias -10, n=6, hit_1w.0, hit_4w.0); admissible ONLY because raw conviction 93 clears the US-16 raw->=85 bar for that family. adj 73 = 93 -10 val -10 cell. eD +0.18 = at entry, RSI 68.9 < 75, no chase. Size x0.5 (MoS -3.16). HONEST CAVEATS: model 1wk/4wk points are essentially FLAT (+0.4%) against a -7.0% stop - reward/risk only works on the 12wk leg; AAPL reports FY26 Q3 07-30 AMC and FOMC lands 07-29, so a fill means holding through two binary events. 12wk 357.15 exceeds the 208.95 DCF anchor. Re-verify family + quality gate at any fill (US-8). expires 2026-08-03. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group, N.V. | 169.69 | NO ACTION | 169.69 | 190.00 | 176.68 (+4.1%) | 193.44 (+14.0%) | 257.70 (+51.9%) | A 50% de-risk in Nebius is warranted but deferred to the next session purely because three larger risks ranked ahead of it tonight. The stock fell another 9.7% to sit 10.7% below our 190 stop and 19.8% below our cost, the signal flipped to an outright sell, and the press now reports that Meta - its largest customer - is building its own compute business, the exact scenario our research flagged as thesis-breaking. A new Sell rating landed with a target against a street consensus. We size at half rather than exiting because this is a sector-wide neocloud unwind, and the twelve-week forward is still strongly positive. Ops: DEFERRED BY THE <=3 CAP, not optional advice - card #1 next EOD. Engine Sell_Rank 2, Portion 88.52% sized down to 50% per US-12/US-22. L2 does NOT fire (12wk +51.9%); basis is US-18's second branch (close below invalidation) + US-23. Overlay NBIS override adjudicated NOT-yet-triggered (no confirmed contract impairment).

The signal is an active strong sell, the stock sits below the broken 201 trail and below its 20-, 50- and 100-day averages, and the model's forward view is flat at every horizon - the position carries full AI-complex beta for no expected return. The $250bn OpenAI financing backstop keeps circular-financing worries alive, though Wedbush and Morningstar both call the fear overblown. Ops: DEFERRED BY THE <=3 CAP - card #2 next EOD, 3rd consecutive deferral (systemic finding #1). Armed (T12_Progress 99.68) + tick (c) dead forward (Est_12W 197.65 < 1.02x close) + tick (d) 3 prior NO TRADEs -> profit_take_2 = 50%, never 100% from a profit-take.

It is the one unambiguously healthy chart in the book - up 1.9% on a day the AI complex broke, trading above every major moving average, with conviction improving from and a twelve-week forward 6.4% above the current price. Ops: armed (T12_Progress 93.98) but NOT fired - conviction ROSE 14 pts (far from a -20 collapse) and tick (c) is alive. Armed-but-not-fired -> mandatory trail-raise, 1133..71 (model Stop_Price).

The position is 2.6% underwater, the signal has gone quiet on a consensus conflict, and the forward view is modestly positive - nothing here justifies action either way. Ops: PROFIT_ARMED is the loss-artifact (Gain_ATR -0.50) - declined. Bare NO TRADE is never a dispose basis (US-17). Below EMA20 (138.51) but far above EMA50 (125.29). |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | Holding SpaceX on the manual 135 stop, with two dates now close enough to matter: the maiden quarterly report on 4 August after the close, and the IPO lock-up expiry on 6 August, when roughly 911 million shares - some -123bn of stock - become eligible to trade, two sessions later.

      "content_text": "## US End-of-Day Verdict — 2026-07-28\n\n1 ACQUIRE (QUEUED AAPL @316.32, adj 93) | DISPOSE fired: KLAC -300 (30%), META exit 60, GOOGL exit 100 | DEFERRED by cap: NVDA -30, MU -30 | HOLD NBIS through Q2 (marginal break, +58% fwd), LLY trail 1134 | BOOK UNRECONCILED - 07-25 cards unexecuted 5th session\n\n| Ticker | Name | Close | Action | Action Price | Stop | 1wk | 4wk | 12wk | Rationale |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| AAPL | Apple | 336.91 | BUY — QUEUED @316.32 | 316.32 | 306.90 | 339.30 (+7.3%) | 339.98 (+7.5%) | 347.89 (+10.0%) | Apple is the single strongest buy setup the book has produced this month: a STRONG BUY at maximum conviction (100) on PullbackBuy_VWAP -- the only signal family with a proven positive record here -- and the only candidate that also clears the fundamental quality screen (F-Score 9, best in the pool). Apple retook the world's-most-valuable-company spot from Nvidia on Monday's chip selloff, which is exactly the defensive-megacap rotation this setup is built to catch. The catch is price: the shares closed at 336.91, about 2.5 ATR above the model's 316.32 entry, so buying here would be chasing. We queue a good-till-cancelled limit at the model entry instead and let the pullback come to us. Valuation is the honest offset -- at a 3.2x negative margin of safety it is priced for growth, which halves the position size. OPERATIONAL: repriced from the prior 308.38 queue to the live 316.32 entry (provenance rule / US-9); size 0.5x on MoS <= -.8549 x x 20% x 0.5 = ->; adj conviction 100 -10 (val) +3 (PullbackBuy cell) = 93; expires 2026-07-30 (anchor + 3 sessions). CAVEAT: the model's own 1wk-low estimate (319.71) sits ABOVE the 316.32 limit, so a ~6.1% retrace is needed to fill -- the no_chase_queue counterfactual (n=13, +2.1% cost) says these limits mostly do not fill. Re-verify the PullbackBuy family + quality gate at any fill (US-8). 12wk 347.89 exceeds the DCF anchor 208.95. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 203.36 | SELL 30% | 203.36 | 198.40 | 206.23 (+1.4%) | 206.52 (+1.6%) | 214.52 (+5.5%) | Take 30% off KLA into its earnings print. This is the book's largest position by a wide margin (, about 29% of the book) and the setup deteriorated decisively on Monday: after three sessions of the engine printing nothing, the signal flipped outright bearish (RallySell_BearTrend) and the shares broke the 210 trailing stop by a decisive 3.2%, closing at 203.36 and losing the 50-day average. KLA reports fiscal Q4 after Tuesday's close, guiding to 575bn revenue against a 61bn consensus, with elevated DRAM input costs already flagged as a ~100bp gross-margin headwind. Carrying a concentrated, technically broken position into a binary print is the risk we are paid to avoid -- so we bank roughly a third at a +15.7% gain and keep 70% for the AI-capex trend, which the model still projects +5.5% higher over twelve weeks. OPERATIONAL: @ ~203.36, keep 700 on a reset stop of 198.40 (EMA100). Basis is signal degradation + decisive trail break (CLAUDE.md 9), NOT valuation -- the MoS -5.44 amplify that would have bumped this to 50% is SUPPRESSED by gate G2 (DCF anchor 93.26 unreliable vs a 33% revenue grower). Honours the prior card's pre-commitment ('a decisive <210 settle -> trim 30% next EOD'). The catalyst-aware hold rule permits this because a decisive stop break is its stated exception. Tension noted: the optional_trim counterfactual (n=12, median -10.85% at 4wk) says trimming winners has cost this book; the hard trail break plus the bearish flip overrides. An earnings gap through 198.40 triggers the next tranche at the NEXT settled close, not intraday (L4/US-7). 12wk 214.52 exceeds the DCF anchor 93.26. |\n| META | Meta Platforms | 593.87 | SELL ALL | 593.87 | 620.00 | 592.50 (-0.2%) | 571.38 (-3.8%) | 592.91 (-0.2%) | Close the Meta position entirely. It is 6.5% underwater on a 635 cost, has been below its 620 stop for four straight sessions (593.87, -4.2%), and now trades under its 50-, 100- and 200-day averages -- broken on both price and structure. The model sees no recovery to wait for: flat at one week (-0.2%), down 3.8% at four weeks, flat at twelve. Meta reports Q2 on Wednesday after the close and the swing factor is capex, which management already raised to -145bn from -135bn. In a tape that has just punished Alphabet 6% for exactly the same disclosure, carrying a losing position with no modelled upside into that print is an uncompensated bet. Exit and redeploy. OPERATIONAL: @ ~593.87, largest loss-prevention dollar in the book. Basis is L2 (decisive stop break AND negative 12wk), not the bare NO TRADE label -- US-17 bars label-only sells, and the NoTrade/sell cell carries a -3 bias which we absorb. PROFIT_ARMED on this row is the known loss-artifact (Gain_ATR -1.83) and is ignored. 4th re-fire of an exit first carded 07-22; the book has not executed it (L3). |\n| GOOGL | Alphabet, Inc.- Class A | 326.56 | SELL ALL | 326.56 | 345.00 | 335.18 (+2.6%) | 337.18 (+3.3%) | 375.23 (+14.9%) | Exit Alphabet in full on the pre-committed stop. We drew a hard line at 345 on 22-Jul after the Q2 capex shock -- 2026 capital spending lifted to -205bn, free cash flow turning negative, buyback suspended -- and the shares have now spent six sessions below it, closing at 326.56, still 5.3% under the line. Monday's +2.1% bounce is the second up-day of a recovery attempt but does not reclaim the level, and a pre-committed stop is only worth having if it is honoured. We are candid about the other side: the model projects +14.9% over twelve weeks and Bank of America has reiterated Buy with a target, arguing the market is mispricing what the spending is already producing. That is a real bull case -- but it is a re-entry thesis, not a reason to keep sitting under a broken line. OPERATIONAL: @ ~326.56. Basis = triggered overlay invalidation ('close below 345') with news-override force + name-specific breakdown -> US-12 gives idiosyncratic cracks a FULL exit, not a trim. L2 does NOT fire (12wk is +14.9%, positive) -- US-23 governs: on a fresh breakdown the forward lags, the signal/stop leads. 5th re-fire of an unexecuted exit (L3). US-22 self-heal: if GOOGL settles back ABOVE 345 before execution, this exit auto-withdraws. 12wk 375.23 exceeds the DCF anchor 154.23. |\n| MU | Micron Technology, Inc. | 900.20 | NO ACTION | 900.20 | 880.00 | 900.30 (+0.0%) | 956.27 (+6.2%) | 971.08 (+7.9%) | Micron mechanically qualifies for a 30% profit-take and is held back only by the three-slot cap -- this is a deferral, not an optional idea. The position is armed (93% of its 12-week target, +4.7% on cost) and has printed NO TRADE two sessions running, the ADR-0012 fire tick (d). Against that: it held its 880 trailing stop (closed 900.20, -2.3% on the broad chip selloff) and the forward view is very much alive -- +6.2% at four weeks, +7.9% at twelve -- so the prior card's pre-commitment, which required a second NO TRADE AND a rolling-over forward, is only half met. Hold the on the 880 stop through SK Hynix's HBM read-across and KLA's print. OPERATIONAL: deferred trim would be @ ~900.20. Ranked 4th of 5 dispose candidates on dollar terms behind KLAC/META/GOOGL. Ledgered direction=none/optional=true so the counterfactual grader prices what not acting cost. Trail stays 880 (never ratchets down). Re-fires as a full DISPOSE card at the next EOD if a third NO TRADE prints or 880 breaks. |\n| NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | 196.51 | NO ACTION | 196.51 | 201.00 | 195.67 (-0.4%) | 196.71 (+0.1%) | 197.88 (+0.7%) | Nvidia's 30% profit-take has hardened and is deferred only by the three-slot cap -- it is card #1 at the next EOD. The shares fell nearly 5% to 196.51 on renewed circular-financing worries after reports Nvidia would backstop $250bn of OpenAI, breaking the 201 trailing stop by 2.2% and losing both the 50- and 100-day averages. The position sits at 99% of its 12-week target with a completely dead forward view -- +0.2% at one week, +0.1% at four, +0.7% at twelve -- so the last third is carrying risk for no modelled return. OPERATIONAL: deferred trim would be @ ~196.51, the smallest dollar of the five candidates, hence last in the ranking. Armed (T12 99.3%) + soft ticks (c) dead forward and (d) 3 consecutive NO TRADE, PLUS a hard tick (stop break) which under US-19 is immediately executable. Held at 30%, NOT escalated to 50%, per US-19 (no day-by-day escalation on the same name). Stop stays 201.00 -- BROKEN, deliberately not lowered. Shared with ussemicon -> execute ONCE (L7). Same fire first carded 07-16/07-23/07-24/07-25, never executed. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group, N.V. | 187.88 | HOLD | 187.88 | 190.00 | 189.97 (+1.1%) | 204.29 (+8.7%) | 297.04 (+58.1%) | Hold all 300 Nebius shares on the 190 stop -- do not trim into the print. The shares stabilised at 187.88 after last week's 15% crash, leaving them just 1.1% below the stop, a marginal rather than decisive break. More importantly the bear catalyst has weakened: the dilution fear from the 75bn convertible has been partly answered by a GPU-backed secured facility that funds the buildout without issuing, and the Meta contract at the centre of the thesis is intact -- $12bn of compute from 2027, inside more than $40bn of contracted revenue from investment-grade customers including Microsoft. The model still projects +58% over twelve weeks, the strongest forward in the book. OPERATIONAL: L2 does NOT fire (needs stop break AND negative 12wk; 12wk is +58.1%). The standing overlay invalidation ('Meta deal materially at risk / builds own cloud') is NOT triggered. Q2 results expected 07-29 (date unconfirmed) with a +/-15% band -- the catalyst-aware hold rule bars pre-trimming into it. Keep 190.00, do NOT widen. Trigger: a SECOND decisive settle below 190 or a confirmed Meta-deal impairment -> full exit next EOD. Note the forward is compressing (12wk, 4wk -- watch it. |\n| LLY | Eli Lilly & Co | 1197.53 | HOLD | 1197.53 | 1133.58 | 1205.12 (+0.6%) | 1187.44 (-0.8%) | 1236.80 (+3.3%) | Hold 70 Eli Lilly and raise the trailing stop from 1126..58. Lilly was the book's one green name again, closing +0.1% at 1197.53 while the AI complex sold off -- the defensive-rotation hedge doing its job. The position is armed at 97% of its 12-week target but nothing has deteriorated: conviction eased (well short of the 20-point collapse that would trigger a trim) and the forward remains alive at +3.3%. Armed-but-not-fired means tighten the stop, not sell. OPERATIONAL: new stop 1133.58 = the model Stop_Price. Q2 earnings 08-05 (BMO); pharma-onshoring tariff decision 07-31 (+/-3%). |\n| OKTA | Okta Inc. | 137.43 | HOLD | 137.43 | 124.00 | 138.16 (+0.5%) | 136.47 (-0.7%) | 141.54 (+3.0%) | Hold 200 Okta on the 124 stop. The 22-Jul entry at 139.80 is 1.7% underwater at 137.43, but the name has gone quiet rather than bad -- it is back on PullbackBuy_VWAP, the one signal family with a positive record here, conviction firmed, and it passes the quality screen (F-Score 7). The forward is modest (+3.0% at twelve weeks) but positive, and it is one of only two non-AI positions left. OPERATIONAL: PROFIT_ARMED is again the known loss-artifact (Gain_ATR -0.35 on an underwater position) -- declined. The model Stop_Price has risen to 130.45; NOT adopted, because a stop 5% under an underwater position with a +3% forward invites a whipsaw exit. Keep 124.00. |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp (muted) | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | Hold 160 SpaceX on the manual 135 stop; the name is private/unquoted, absent from the scan, so it is muted on signals and assessed on news only. The read stays CONCERN and the calendar is now firm: maiden Q2 results on 04-Aug after the close, then roughly 911.5m insider shares -- about $116bn of stock -- unlock two trading days later on 06-Aug. That is a genuine supply overhang into a first-ever public print. One mitigant: because the shares have traded below the contingent second block of 455.8m shares stays locked, and Morgan Stanley argues fundamentals are largely unchanged and the level an attractive entry; Musk's own stake is locked until mid-2027. OPERATIONAL: auto-unmute and resume full signal treatment the moment a scan Close prints; a Close < 135 is the full-exit trigger. |\n\n_Track record: 96 graded decisions · 1-week calibration -0.132._\n\n> Educational content, not financial advice.

Basis: L2 stop-break (620) + negative 12wk (Est_12W 604.04 < close 606.10) on an underwater position -- a signal-based exit (CLAUDE.md S9), not a bare NO-TRADE dispose (US-17). PROFIT_ARMED is the known artifact (T12 100.3% because target < close, GainATR -1.13, a LOSS) -- ignored. Executes at the 07-24 open, pending (L8); reprice if the open gaps >~1.5%.

Q2 beat (EPS 9.11, rev 119.8B, cloud +82%) but 2026 capex was hiked to -205B, FCF swung to -, the buyback was suspended and multiple PT cuts followed -- a genuine name-specific fundamental repricing, not a technical head-fake. This is the confirmed <345 settle the 07-22/07-23 cards defined as a full-exit trigger; the reaction was a -7% gap-down, not the benign flat print the hold-through-earnings thesis was conditioned on. Name-specific breakdown -> full exit (US-12 carve-out; the semis actually rose today, so this is idiosyncratic, not a sector rout). The model still shows a positive forward (1wk +3.2%, 4wk +5.1%, 12wk +15.6%) and RSI 31 is oversold -- we honor the hard pre-committed stop over the model's mean-reversion hope (loss-minimization is the primary objective).

That is a spent risk/reward on a large winner, so we bank a third and let seventy shares ride the intact AI-hardware trend behind a raised stop; the 07-29/30 FOMC and cloud-capex updates (Alphabet just guided capex HIGHER on +82% cloud growth) argue for staying invested in the majority. A partial de-risk, not a call against the story. OPERATIONAL: ADR-0012 profit_take_1 (30%) - PROFIT_ARMED (T12_Progress 97.4%) + tick (b) conviction COLLAPSE across the four snapshots (HOLD69/HOLD59/NOTRADE0/AVOID0), the deterioration G1 was waiting for; tick (c) borderline (Est_4W already negative). G1 n/a (AVOID cv0, not a fresh breakout >=80); tick (b) fires regardless of G1 per ADR-0012. US-19: this is the SAME profit-take first fired 07-16, unexecuted through four EODs, now RE-VERIFIED on a genuine conviction collapse and repriced +2.3% higher to 212.06 - size NOT escalated (still 30%). Valuation MoS -2.34 > -3, no amplify (G2 suppresses anyway). Keep 70, trail-raise 200..00 (EMA100 200.88 cluster; scan chandelier looser).

Class A | 342.09 | HOLD | 342.09 | 345.00 | 347.02 (+1.4%) | 355.24 (+3.8%) | 375.97 (+9.9%) | Alphabet's Q2 print landed after the 07-22 close: a clean beat - EPS, revenue vs expected, Google Cloud +82% - but capex guidance came in heavy and the shares were FLAT after hours, so the report neither rescued the stock nor broke it. A strong quarter is not a sell thesis, and the twelve-week forward is alive at +9.9%, so we hold. OPERATIONAL: the regular session closed 342.09, a MARGINAL -0.84% breach of the 345 hard line, but that is the LAST PRE-DIGESTION close - the report dropped 07-22 AMC. Per the prior card, 345 is the hard invalidation THROUGH the print and the decision point is the POST-EARNINGS SETTLED CLOSE (07-23): a confirmed 07-23 settle below 345 converts this to a full exit at the next EOD; a reclaim of 345 holds. Do NOT dump into the 07-23 open on a flat-reaction beat (US-12 / catalyst-hold discipline - the KLAC marginal-breach that recovered). Armed (T12 90.99) + tick (d) 4x NO TRADE fires mechanically, but tick (c) does NOT (forward +9.9% alive) and US-17 forbids a bare NO-TRADE dispose. Monitor leads on the breach; 345 stays the line. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 214.69 | HOLD | 214.69 | 205.00 | 217.54 (+1.3%) | 217.46 (+1.3%) | 228.74 (+6.5%) | Book's largest position (, +22.2%) and its best-quality semicap name. Held through the -1.3% pullback to 214.69, still far above every structural line. OPERATIONAL: armed (T12 93.86, GainATR 2.76) + tick (d) 4x NO TRADE fires mechanically, BUT tick (c) does not (Est_12W 228.74 = +6.5% alive), US-17 forbids a bare NO-TRADE dispose, and Q4 earnings land 07-23 (next session, +/-8%) - squarely inside the <=5-session catalyst-hold window, which mandates hold/trail and NO pre-trim absent a confirmed lower-high or decisive stop break. Armed-but-not-fired -> mandatory trail-raise. Keep the 205.00 line (above EMA100 197.67, below the swing low). Post-print, a decisive 07-23 close below 205 or a confirmed lower high converts this to a trim at the next EOD. |\n| MU | Micron Technology, Inc. | 959.48 | HOLD | 959.48 | 880.00 | 963.59 (+0.4%) | 1000.76 (+4.3%) | 1023.19 (+6.6%) | Held at 959.48 (+11.6% on the blended 859.49 cost, now risk-free above cost); the 30-share 07-21 discretionary add is +10.5%. OPERATIONAL: the AVOID cv49 with Stop_Price 1113.28 sitting ABOVE the close is the short-side structural artifact (systemic #3), NOT a sell - Portion 0, no Sell_Rank, and long-only means AVOID != short. Armed via T12 (93.77) but tick (c) does not fire (Est_12W 1023.19 = +6.6% alive, Est_4W 1000.76 = +4.3%) and there is no second warning code -> no profit-take. Keep the trail at 880.00 (do NOT lower it - 1.07 ATR below the prior 970.82 close would be ~877, lower than the standing line; a trail never ratchets down).

OPERATIONAL: NOT armed (no Exit_Warning, T12 only 68.22) so the profit-take path is not even open; the AVOID cv64 with Stop_Price == Close is the same degenerate short-side artifact (systemic #3), Portion 0. Keep the 190.00 trail (above EMA100 186.88) - do not choke a +46% forward - ahead of Q2 earnings 07-29 (+/-15%, the widest band in the book); revisit the trail as the date approaches.

OPERATIONAL: armed (T12 97.22) but tick (c) does not fire (Est_12W 1196.27 = +2.9% alive, barely) and the label is HOLD not NO TRADE -> armed-but-not-fired -> hold/trail. Keep the 1120.00 line (scan chandelier 1092.06 is looser; keep the higher line). Far above EMA100 1070 / EMA200 1007.

OPERATIONAL: the PROFIT_ARMED flag is a pure artifact for the third straight EOD (T12_Progress 101.8% only because Target_12Week 616.04 sits BELOW the close) - a four-day-old losing position is not a profit to take; explicitly DECLINED (systemic #2). NO TRADE cv0 x4 (the familiar intraday-HOLD-to-close-fade, L4/US-7). EMA100 621.28 / EMA200 639.41 straddle the 620 line; keep stop 620.00. Q2 earnings 07-29 AMC (+/-8%) is a direct book event 4 sessions out - the 4wk Est 598.36 (-4.6%) reflects that event risk. |\n| OKTA | Okta, Inc. | 136.69 | HOLD | 136.69 | 124.00 | 138.76 (+1.5%) | 138.44 (+1.3%) | 141.62 (+3.6%) | NEW position - the book BOUGHT 200 @ 139.80 on 07-22 as a discretionary/unledgered add (OKTA was the 07-22 top near-miss at adj 64, one point under the floor and the only quality-passing buy in a month; no buy card proposed it, so this is drift, noted not criticised). Now HOLD cv59 at 136.69, -2.2% underwater. OPERATIONAL: the PROFIT_ARMED flag is an artifact (position is a LOSS, GainATR -0.36; T12 96.5% only because Target_12Week 141.62 hugs the close) - decline it. Modest positive forward (Est_12W 141.62, +3.6%). Set a protective stop at 124.00 ( the scan chandelier 123.84) so the fresh add is risk-defined. Quality gate PASSES (F=7) - this is a keepable name, just bought a touch early. |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Technologies (muted) | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | Muted (private, no public quote, absent from the scan) - held on the manual 135 stop, never synthesized, but news-assessed per the edge-case rule. News read: CONCERN, and sharpening. Secondary prints are -135 - AT or BELOW the 135 stop - and the first ~20% insider lock-up slice frees after Q2 results in late July with ~7% tranches following Aug/Sep/Oct, so a large supply overhang is imminent. Hold on the 135 stop; the moment SPCX appears in the scan with a non-null Close below 135 it auto-unmutes and becomes a full-exit trigger.

The stock is trading below both its short- and medium-term trend lines, is our only large loser at roughly -19%, and rallied noticeably less than the rest of the book on a broadly explosive day - relative weakness that confirms the problem is company-specific rather than market-wide. Valuation offers no cushion either, so we take the full exit into today's bounce rather than hold a broken position for a sixth session. OPERATIONAL: Sell_Rank 1, 88.52 amplified to full by MoS_FV -11.34 (<= -3 tier bump). Stable family across J20C->J21C (cv 52/62/62/69), close 162.41 below EMA10 172.51 and EMA100 169.41. US-18 second-print bar met many times over; G-gates inapplicable (broken downtrend, CLAUDE.md 9 'valid exits still fire'); US-23 - the stale-bullish Est_12W +6.8% must not veto a signal/stop exit, and Est_4W is already negative.

That is a dead risk/reward on a position sitting on a large gain, so we bank a third and let the remaining seventy shares ride the AI-hardware trend with a raised protective stop. This is a partial de-risk, not a call against the story: the late-July cloud-capex updates are a reason to stay invested in the majority. OPERATIONAL: ADR-0012 profit_take_1 (30%), 1 tick - PROFIT_ARMED (T12_Progress 99.6%) + tick (c) dead forward (Est_12W 208.18 < 1.02x207.29 = 211.44).

We pass, and log it so we can measure what the discipline cost. OPERATIONAL: adj 64 vs the 65 floor - ONE point short, no fudging. cv71 PullbackBuy_VWAP Buy_Rank 2, BUY on 4-of-4 snapshots (64/57/57/71), eD -0.16 (not extended, inside the -0.25 no-chase bar), RSI 56.2, Quality_Pass TRUE (F=7) - the only candidate today that clears the gate. Killed by val_adj -10 (MoS_FV -5.30 maxes the haircut) against a PullbackBuy_VWAP/buy bias that has decayed +5->+4->+3 as it graded. Size modulator would have been 0.5x (MoS <= -3). Logged direction:none/optional:true so the counterfactual grader prices the veto (systemic #1). Re-arm: a pullback toward the 140.27 entry with the cell bias recovering, or a fresh valuation snapshot. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 217.56 | HOLD | — | 205.00 | 219.11 | 219.11 | 226.47 | KLA has fully recovered the brief dip below our stop last week, closing up nearly 5% and back above every trend line - the decision to hold through a marginal breach was right. It reports quarterly results tomorrow, so we hold through the print with a raised protective stop rather than pre-trimming into a binary event. OPERATIONAL: breach RESOLVED (217.56 vs the 210.15 old trail and the 200.51 decisive line). Book's largest position, GENUINELY armed (T12_Progress 96.1%, +23.8%, Gain_ATR 2.68) with 4x NO TRADE cv0 -> tick (d) fires mechanically, but tick (c) does NOT (Est_12W 226.47 = +4.1% alive), US-17 forbids a bare NO-TRADE dispose (NoTrade/sell -2, hit.40), and Q4 earnings 07-23 (next session, +/-8%) is inside the <=5-session catalyst-hold window - no pre-trim absent a confirmed lower high or decisive stop break, and the name just made a HIGHER high. Armed-but-not-fired -> mandatory trail-raise to 205.00 (below the 207.60 swing low, above EMA100 197.34). Post-print: decisive close < 205.00 or confirmed lower high converts to a trim next EOD. Systemic #4: tick (d) again firing on a quiet winner with a live forward. |\n| GOOGL | Alphabet, Inc. - Class A | 347.15 | HOLD | — | 345.00 | 349.54 | 361.59 | 379.25 | Alphabet reports quarterly results after the close tonight and was the book's only decliner on an otherwise explosive day, leaving it just above the level we have set as our line in the sand. We hold through the print - trimming into a binary event is how you get the direction right and the price wrong - and treat a settled close below that line afterwards as a full exit trigger. OPERATIONAL: close 347.15 (-1.4%), +0.6% above the 345 hard invalidation, sitting on EMA100 347.52, below EMA10 354.56, RSI 43.1. Q2 earnings 07-22 AMC, +/-7% / +/-1.88 ATR. NO TRADE cv0 x4 fires tick (d) on a PROFIT_ARMED row, but tick (c) does not (Est_12W 379.25 = +9.2% alive) and the catalyst rule mandates no pre-trim. Avg_Cost blank in usportfolio.json so the arm cannot be verified as a genuine gain (systemic #2). 345 stays hard THROUGH the print; a post-earnings settled close below it is a full exit, not a trim. |\n| MU | Micron Technology, Inc. | 970.82 | HOLD | — | 880.00 | 971.83 | 1002.80 | 1025.79 | Micron surged more than 12% in a single session on the memory upcycle, and the thirty shares added at the start of the week are already up nearly 12%. The forward view stays positive across every horizon, so we hold the full position and lift the protective stop above our cost - the trade is now risk-free and we let the trend run. OPERATIONAL: close 970.82 (+12.2%), blended cost 859.49, +12.95%, Gain_ATR 1.32. The AVOID cv64 FailedBreakout_Down_20D print with Stop_Price 1139.79 sitting 17% ABOVE the close is the short-side structural artifact (systemic #3), NOT a sell instruction - 0.0, Sell_Rank blank, long-only means AVOID != short. Armed via T12 (94.6%) but tick (c) does NOT fire (Est_12W 1025.79 = +5.7%, Est_4W 1002.80 = +3.3%) and there is no second warning code -> no profit-take. Trail-raise.00 (1.07 ATR below on ATR 84.48; above the 859.49 cost). Far above EMA100 754.81 / EMA200 571.63. HBM-sold-out overlay unbroken; SK Hynix read-through 07-29. Shared with ussemicon - changed on 07-21, sub-books must not size off a stale snapshot. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group, N.V. | 216.92 | HOLD | — | 190.00 | 217.46 | 234.68 | 323.62 | Nebius jumped nearly 19% in one session, flipping the position from a double-digit loss to a gain and reclaiming its medium-term trend line. It carries the strongest forward outlook in the entire book, so we hold the full stake and raise the protective stop sharply to lock in the bulk of the two-day move ahead of its late-July results. OPERATIONAL: close 216.92 (+18.8%), cost 211.60, +2.51%. NOT armed (no Exit_Warning, T12_Progress 67.0) so the profit-take path is not open at all. Same degenerate-stop artifact as MU (Stop_Price printed EQUAL to Close 216.92 - meaningless; systemic #3), 0.0, no Sell_Rank -> the AVOID label is not a sell instruction. Est_4W 234.68 (+8.2%), Est_12W 323.62 (+49.2%) - strongest forward in the book. Now above EMA100 186.25, far above EMA200 151.19. Keep-core overlay live (Meta-deal invalidation NOT triggered). Trail-raise.00 (1.09 ATR below) ahead of Q2 earnings 07-29, +/-15% - the widest band in the book; revisit the line as the date approaches per the horizon's tighten-trail stance. |\n| META | Meta Platforms | 643.81 | HOLD | — | 620.00 | 645.98 | 622.75 | 635.00 | Meta is a four-day-old position up a little over 1% with quarterly results due at the end of the month. There is nothing to bank and nothing broken - we simply hold on the existing stop and let the earnings print set the direction. OPERATIONAL: close 643.81 (-0.3%), cost 635.00, +1.39%, Gain_ATR 0.36. The PROFIT_ARMED flag is an ARTIFACT for the second consecutive EOD - it arms only via T12_Progress 101.4%, which reads 101% because Target_12Week (635.00) sits BELOW the close; a +1.4% four-day-old position with 0.36 ATR of gain is not a profit to take. Explicitly DECLINED (systemic #2). Intraday HOLD cv59 x2 faded to NO TRADE cv0 at the settled close - the familiar fade (L4/US-7/US-11). EMA100 621.17 / EMA200 639.63 straddle the 620 line; keep it. Q2 earnings 07-29 AMC, +/-8% / +/-1.74 ATR - a direct book event. |\n| LLY | Eli Lilly & Co | 1175.41 | HOLD | — | 1120.00 | 1180.90 | 1195.49 | 1212.93 | Lilly added another 2.5% and continues to grind higher well above its longer-term trend lines, with the forward view still pointing modestly up. Nothing here calls for action beyond tightening the protective stop under the advancing price. OPERATIONAL: close 1175.41 (+2.5%), HOLD FailedBreakdown_Up_20D cv50 (trail 55/49/50/50 - a -5 conviction drift, nowhere near the -20 tick-(b) bar). Armed (T12_Progress 96.9%) but tick (c) does NOT fire: Est_12W 1212.93 vs 1.02x1175.41 = 1198.92 -> forward alive at +3.2%; Est_4W 1195.49 (+1.7%). Far above EMA100 1068.43 / EMA200 1006.16. Trail-raise.00 (1.44 ATR below; scan chandelier 1098.44 is looser - keep the higher line). Overlay hard invalidation 975 now academic; pharma-onshoring tariff step 07-31 (+/-3%). |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | A private holding with no public quote, so there is no tradable signal - we hold on the manual stop. The one thing to watch is insider selling restrictions beginning to lift after the company's second-quarter results, which can weigh on secondary-market pricing over the coming weeks. OPERATIONAL: permanently absent from the scan -> MUTED on the verdict (no Action/conviction/entry/targets ever synthesized), but news-assessed every run per the edge-case rule. News read UNCHANGED: CONCERN - lock-up overhang persists (first ~20% frees after Q2 results late July, then ~7% tranches Aug-Oct); the horizon's bonus-tranche trigger observation window 07--03 (+/-6%, low confidence) is now LIVE.

The stock has printed a stable bearish signal for four straight snapshots, sits 7% below its stop and 10% below its 100-day trend line, and the earlier double-downgrade-to-sell plus a deeply stretched valuation (fair-value margin -11.3) all point the same way. This is a -23% loser whose thesis has cracked on its own merits rather than with the sector, so we cut the whole position rather than trimming. Operational: exit basis is stable AVOID x4 + decisive break of the 165 reset (close 153.10) + relative weakness on an up day (US-22 idiosyncratic-crack branch). L2/L3 apply; the lagging Est_12W of +5.3% is explicitly overridden per US-23 (forward lags a confirmed breakdown) and must not veto a signal/stop exit. Trim-discipline G1-G3 do not apply (they protect uptrending winners). 07-28 Q2 earnings is 6 sessions out, outside the <=5-session catalyst-hold window. Proceeds realized ~-Sell-cell FailedBreakout_Down_20D/sell has decayed to +0 (n=8) so the basis is stability + the stop break, not the cell. |\n| SNDK | Sandisk Corporation | 1390.95 | SELL 50% | 1390.95 | 1300.00 | 1428.44 (+2.7%) | 1385.08 (-0.4%) | 1200.54 (-13.7%) | Sandisk has run 16% past its twelve-week target and the model's forward view has now gone negative (-13.7%), while the signal engine has fallen silent for four straight snapshots. That combination is the textbook case for banking half a winner rather than waiting for the reversal to announce itself. The NAND/HBM supercycle looks intact - the stock still sits above its 100- and 200-day trend lines and next week brings SK Hynix, Samsung and Lam Research read-throughs - so we keep the other half running with a raised trail. Operational: ADR-0012 profit_take_2, armed at T12_Progress 115.9% with ticks (c) dead 12wk forward [1200.54 < 1.02x1390.95 = 1418.77] and (d) 4x consecutive NO TRADE. Self-set 1300 trail is INTACT - pure armed + soft-2-tick fire, not a trail break. US-19: same 50% first-fire repriced +2.7% higher from 07-18, re-verified at the settled close, NOT an escalation. Valuation amplify (MoS -4.77 <= -3 would bump is G2-SUPPRESSED (DCF 1005.14 << Target_12Week, Rev_Growth 0.98 hyper-growth). Keep, trail 1300. Est_12W exceeds the DCF anchor 1005.14. Proceeds. |\n| NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | 203.28 | SELL 30% | 203.28 | 197.00 | 203.49 (+0.1%) | 202.54 (-0.4%) | 205.37 (+1.0%) | Nvidia has reached its twelve-week target and the model now projects essentially no further upside over that horizon - a flat +1.0%. Taking 30% off at target while the signal is still healthy is the disciplined way to bank a completed move without abandoning the position. We keep running into the late-July cloud-capex cluster (Microsoft Azure on 07-29, AWS on 07-30), which is where the next leg would have to come from, protected by a raised trailing stop. Operational: ADR-0012 profit_take_1, armed at T12_Progress 99.0% with a single tick (c) dead forward [Est_12W 205.37 < 1.02x203.28 = 207.35]. Ticks (b) and (d) do NOT fire - conviction flat at 61 (dipped to 54 intraday, recovered by the close) and the label is HOLD, not NO TRADE. G1 does not apply (cv61 < 80, not a fresh breakout). US-19: first-fire 30% held and repriced from 07-16/17/18, NOT an escalation. Trail-raise to 197 (scan chandelier 188.47 is looser; keep the higher manual line). Est_12W exceeds the DCF anchor 163.98. Proceeds. |\n| JPM | JPMorgan Chase & Co. | 338.87 | NO ACTION | 336.86 | 326.85 | 340.94 (+1.2%) | 347.32 (+3.1%) | 358.48 (+6.4%) | JPMorgan is the best buy setup the book has seen in over a week - a clean pullback entry, top-ranked, not extended, and on the one signal family that has actually been paying - but it is blocked by the fundamental quality screen, which scores the bank poorly on balance-sheet strength and reads it as expensive against its book value. We are not overriding that screen to force a trade, so this is a deliberate pass rather than an opportunity missed by accident. Operational: adj 69 = cv66 PullbackBuy_VWAP (Buy_Rank 1) + val_adj -1 (MoS -0.29) + bias +4; clears the 65 floor and is NOT extended (eD -0.23, close 338.87 vs entry 336.86). Hard quality gate: Quality_Pass False, F-Score 2, OVERVALUED_VS_RI (residual-income model applied to a bank - see systemic finding #1). Ledgered direction:none/optional:true so the counterfactual grader prices what the veto costs (US-20 evidence, 5th consecutive session). Re-arm: only if Quality_Pass flips True on a fresh fairvalue run while the PullbackBuy print and the non-extended entry hold. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 207.60 | HOLD | 207.60 | 200.51 | 209.38 (+0.9%) | 207.61 (+0.0%) | 217.03 (+4.5%) | KLA slipped 2.4% and closed just below its trailing stop, but the miss is small (1.2%) and fiscal Q4 results land in two sessions. Trimming the book's largest position into its own earnings print on a marginal breach is the wrong trade; we hold through the event on a lowered, clearly-defined line and let the results decide. The twelve-week view is still positive at +4.5%, and the position remains +18% above cost. Operational: marginal breach (207.60 vs 210.15 trail, -1.21%, inside the ~1.5% decisive bar) -> US-12 hold. Armed (T12_Progress 95.7%) with 4x NO TRADE cv0 = mechanical tick (d), but tick (c) does NOT fire (forward +4.5% alive) and US-17 (NoTrade/sell -4) bars a bare NO-TRADE dispose -> armed-but-not-fired = mandatory trail-raise, not a trim. Catalyst-aware hold through 07-23 Q4 (+/-8% band); no pre-trim (US-18). DECISIVE LINE RESET to a close below EMA100 200.51; the 210.15 trail becomes the post-earnings re-arm reference. Largest position at (~38% of equities) - book's #1 risk. A decisive break of 200.51 or a confirmed post-earnings lower-high converts this to a trim. |\n| GOOGL | Alphabet Inc. Class A | 351.99 | HOLD | 351.99 | 345.00 | 354.14 (+0.6%) | 363.32 (+3.2%) | 380.36 (+8.1%) | Alphabet flashed a sell warning twice during Monday's session and then closed neutral - the fifth time this exact intraday head-fake has appeared in this book, and every prior instance faded. With Q2 results due after tomorrow's close and the twelve-week view still +8% higher, the right move is to hold through the print on a hard 345 line rather than sell into a signal that keeps evaporating. Operational: STRONG SELL - REDUCE cv71 printed at BOTH J20o30 and J20o60, FADED to NO TRADE cv0 at the settled close -> L4/US-7/US-11, never fire a dispose off an intraday print. Armed (T12_Progress 92.5%) but tick (c) does NOT fire (forward +8.1% alive, Est_12W 380.36); no stop break (351.99 > 345, > EMA100 347.53, >> EMA200 319.33). Catalyst-aware hold through 07-22 AMC earnings (+/-7% / +/-1.88 ATR); no pre-trim (US-18). Overlay hard invalidation 345 stands even through the print - close sits only 2.0% above it. |\n| META | Meta Platforms | 645.85 | HOLD | 645.85 | 620.00 | 648.10 (+0.3%) | 623.95 (-3.4%) | 639.17 (-1.0%) | Meta is a new position, bought off-book two sessions ago and now up 1.7%, and it had no protective stop recorded - that is fixed here with a stop at 620, just under the 100-day trend support. The model's exit flag on this row is a false alarm and we are explicitly not acting on it. Q2 results on 07-29 are now a direct event for the book and carry a wide swing band, so we hold into them on the defined line. Operational: buy 60 @ 635.00 on 07-18, unledgered/human_cli; monitor untracked + no_stop warnings both closed by this card. NO TRADE cv0 x4. The PROFIT_ARMED flag is an ARTIFACT - Gain_ATR is 0.40 (vs the 3.0 arm) on a 2-session-old +1.7% position; it arms only via T12_Progress 101%, which reads 101% because Target_12Week 639.17 sits BELOW the 645.85 close. Firing a 50% profit-take here would be absurd -> declined (systemic finding #2: gate the T12_Progress arm path on Unreal_PnL_Pct > 0). Stop 620.00 = EMA100 620.73 support cluster (-4.0%); EMA200 639.90 sits at cost, too tight for ATR 27.26. 07-29 AMC earnings +/-8% / +/-1.74 ATR. |\n| MU | Micron Technology, Inc. | 865.46 | HOLD | 865.46 | 855.00 | 870.76 (+0.6%) | 910.09 (+5.2%) | 906.38 (+4.7%) | Micron has recovered back above its stop after two shallow dips below it - the patient call was the right one, exactly as it was on 07-02. The memory thesis is intact, the stock sits far above its long-term trend lines, and the forward view is a healthy +4.7%. Hold, with SK Hynix's results on 07-29 as the next real test. Operational: BREACH RESOLVED - close 865.46 back above the 855 line (+1.2%) after two marginal sub-855 sessions (US-12 vindicated). Near-breakeven vs cost 855.84 (+1.12%). NO TRADE cv0 but forward positive (Est_4W 910.09 +5.2%, Est_12W 906.38 +4.7%); >> EMA100 750.44 / EMA200 567.59. Overlay HBM-sold-out thesis unbroken. Decisive-exit line unchanged: a close < ~845 OR an HBM pricing/demand crack. Scan Stop blank/degenerate (systemic #3) -> manual 855 stands. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group, N.V. | 182.62 | HOLD | 182.62 | 152.00 | 186.91 (+2.3%) | 196.79 (+7.8%) | 230.32 (+26.1%) | Nebius was the book's strongest performer on Monday, up 2.8%, and carries by far the best forward view of any holding at +26%. The Meta cloud relationship that underpins the thesis remains intact, so we keep the full position. Q2 results on 07-29 carry the widest swing band in the book, which is a reason to tighten the trail as the date approaches rather than to reduce now. Operational: NO TRADE x4, close 182.62 (+2.8%, best held name of the session). Not armed. Still below EMA100 185.64 but >> EMA200 150.67; -13.7% vs cost 211.60. Keep-core overlay override live (Meta-deal invalidation NOT triggered). Horizon flags Q2 earnings 07-29 at +/-15% / +/-1.14 ATR with a tighten-trail stance -> revisit the 152 line as 07-29 approaches. Exit the remainder on a close < 152 OR confirmed Meta-cloud impairment. |\n| LLY | Eli Lilly & Co | 1146.90 | HOLD | 1146.90 | 1106.00 | 1147.78 (+0.1%) | 1179.70 (+2.9%) | 1194.18 (+4.1%) | Lilly wobbled during the session and recovered by the close, leaving the constructive setup intact and the twelve-week view still 4% higher. It sits comfortably above its long-term trend lines with no exit trigger, so we simply hold and keep the stop where it is. Operational: HOLD PullbackBuy_VWAP cv55 (dipped 48/44 intraday, recovered by the close - the same intraday-fade pattern as GOOGL/NVDA). Armed (T12_Progress 96.0%) but tick (c) does NOT fire (forward +4.1% alive, Est_12W 1194.18) -> armed-but-not-fired, hold. Stop 1106.00 retained (scan chandelier 1104.98 is lower; keep the higher line). Close 1146.90 >> EMA100 1066.34 / EMA200 1005.53. Overlay hard invalidation 975. Pharma onshoring tariff step 07-31 (+/-3%). |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech Corp | — | HOLD | — | 135.00 | n/a | n/a | n/a | SpaceX is a private holding with no public quote, so it carries no technical signal and is assessed on news alone. The picture is unchanged and cautious: insider lock-up shares begin freeing after Q2 results later this month and continue in monthly tranches through October, which is supply overhead rather than a thesis break.

ACQUIRE: TSM 56@451.79 market + SNOW 140@242.58 queued (exp 07-09). AMD queue withdrawn. NBIS watch. SPCX muted (Aug lock-up concern).\n\n| Ticker | Name | Close | Action | Action Price | Stop | 1wk | 4wk | 12wk | Rationale |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | 195.55 | SELL 88.52% | 195.55 | 207.68 | n/a | n/a | 168.00 (-14.1%) | Trim NVDA hard: the signal has printed STRONG SELL - REDUCE for 4 straight snapshots with a negative 12-week outlook (target 168 vs 195.55 close), and the news is structural not panic - a sector-wide chip selloff plus the Kyber NVL144 rack slipping to 2028 and hyperscalers building custom silicon. Stable strong-sell + neg-12wk is the valid trend exit (L2), unaffected by trim gates; the position is also PROFIT_ARMED. Keep 69, invalidate above 207.68. Closes the NVDA NO-TRADE bleed (US-1). |\n| GOOGL | Alphabet Inc. Class A | 366.46 | SELL 30% | 366.46 | 344.08 | 373.17 (+1.8%) | 388.84 (+6.1%) | 351.16 (-4.2%) | Take a 30-share profit tick on GOOGL: the position is PROFIT_ARMED (104% of the 12wk target) and the forward view has gone dead (12wk 351 sits below the 366 close), which fires profit_take_1 (30%). News is neutral - the EUR4.1B EU Android fine upheld 07-02 is priced and Q1 was strong. The overlay explicitly sanctions exactly this tick and says trail (not pre-trim) through the 07-22 earnings. Keep 70, trail stop 344.08. G2 suppresses valuation amplify (T12>>DCF) but the profit-take fire is independent of G2. |\n| SNOW | Snowflake Inc. | 262.09 | BUY — QUEUED @242.58 | 242.58 | 228.33 | 251.14 (+3.5%) | 271.12 (+11.8%) | 373.48 (+54.0%) | Queue SNOW on a pullback: it sits on the book's most reliable buy cell (PullbackBuy_VWAP, +6 bias, ~86% hit - L1/US-2) as a fresh STRONG BUY cv74, and the fundamentals confirm - Q1 revenue +34%, FY27 guide raised to, a new AWS deal, analyst targets -370. Price (262) is extended 1.6 ATR above the model pullback entry, so this is a GTC buy-limit at 242.58 that only fills on the dip (no-chase). Repriced from the lapsed 07-03 @266.58 queue to the live model entry (provenance). The 12wk 373 exceeds the DCF anchor 112 (growth-priced). |\n| TSM | Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg | 451.79 | BUY | 451.79 | 438.91 | 467.25 (+3.4%) | 503.31 (+11.4%) | 538.11 (+19.1%) | Buy TSM at market: a fresh STRONG BUY cv76 that survives the FailedBreakdown -7 scorecard haircut (adj 69) on genuine strength - RSI 54.6 (not extended), right at entry, top-quality F-Score 9, and the news is unambiguously bullish (Barclays Overweight PT raised, Strong Buy 13/17, customer price hikes on ~3/4 of wafer revenue, 3nm expansion). Staged 0.75x into the 07-08 FOMC minutes per the overlay's 'no new leverage into the print'; earnings 07-16 - trail through. Stop 438.91. |\n| KLAC | KLA Corporation | 233.31 | HOLD | 233.31 | 220.31 | n/a | n/a | 332.47 (+42.5%) | Hold KLAC: recovered to 233 (above the reset stop 220.31), HOLD label, +33% cost cushion and +42% 12wk view. The 07-03 stop-break sell is stood down (name recovered). Conviction is soft (36) - watch, but no signal-based sell basis. |\n| MU | Micron Technology | 984.75 | HOLD | 984.75 | 936.75 | n/a | n/a | 1403.27 (+42.5%) | Hold MU: HOLD cv54 recovering, +15% on cost, +42% 12wk view, above stop 936.75. No sell basis. |\n| NBIS | Nebius Group | 213.02 | HOLD | 213.02 | 199.61 | n/a | n/a | 289.91 (+36.1%) | Hold NBIS on watch: 4 consecutive NO TRADE (consensus conflict + low conviction) but breakeven (+0.67%), above stop, +36% 12wk - the L2 exit combo (stop-break AND neg-12wk) is NOT met and it was already de-risked. Watch; the overlay override invalidates only if the Meta deal is materially at risk. |\n| GLW | Corning Inc. | 194.80 | HOLD | 194.80 | 182.50 | n/a | n/a | 267.19 (+37.2%) | Hold GLW: small -2.4% loss, HOLD, above stop 182.50, +37% 12wk view.

Overlay invalidation is a close below 975. |\n| SPCX | Space Exploration Tech | — | HOLD | — | — | n/a | n/a | n/a | Hold SPCX muted (private, no public quote - absent from scan). News CONCERN/WATCH: 13T + Nasdaq-100 inclusion, but a August lock-up expiration overhang and unproven Starship in-orbit refuel + regulatory delay risk. Ives bull vs -160 bear year-end. Hold on manual stop; the Aug lock-up is the forward de-risk trigger. Auto-unmute when it appears in the scan CSV with a non-null Close. |\n\n_Track record: 59 graded decisions · 1-week calibration -0.132._\n\n> Educational content, not financial advice.
