Cadence remains the only laggard showing a genuine absolute-and-relative turn after Friday, but Synopsys and Nvidia both report Wednesday. UPS is still a secondary watch; cybersecurity remains quarantined. There is no clean Sunday buy.
Cadence is the first laggard this week to show both absolute and relative repair, while UPS still has a large unresolved FedEx gap without a breakout. Cybersecurity bounces remain contaminated by peer weakness. There is no clean buy yet.
UPS is the only fresh laggard with the right short-vs-medium relative shape, but its turnaround still has real company-specific risks. Fortinet and F5 look better only because cybersecurity peers fell harder. There is no clean buy today.
Fortinet still has an unresolved medium-term peer gap, but it broke the price invalidation. L3Harris is clouded by a company-specific governance shock, and the screen stays empty.
Apple and Amazon are holding up while Broadcom and AMD stay weak; SK Hynix's huge buyback sharpens the AI-memory signal.
Fortinet finally showed the relative-strength turn this catch-up screen has been waiting for, but it still has not cleared the price level that would make the setup actionable.
Tuesday's risk-off tape is rewarding energy, refiners and defensive sectors while tech sells off. Here is what is showing real strength and what would break it.
Tuesday's US relative-laggard screen finds no clean buy. Fortinet is the last conditional watch, F5 broke its prior invalidation, and fresh company-specific events disqualify several tempting gaps.
Tuesday's 12-stock tech forecast turns defensive as long Treasury yields and oil rise; Meta, Microsoft and AMD have the weakest short-term setups.
Vista Energy is up 5.3% while the major U.S. indexes drift lower; Astronics and Oscar Health add two non-tech momentum watches backed by recent earnings and clear failure conditions.
Fortinet and F5 still carry genuine cybersecurity peer gaps into Monday, but Friday broke the first Fortinet bounce and neither stock has earned a catch-up entry. A firmer tech backdrop makes today a useful confirmation test, not a reason to front-run it.
Monday's 12-stock tech forecast sees modest support from lower yields and firm Nasdaq futures, with NVDA, AMD and TSM strongest while AVGO and GOOGL face more resistance.
