  1. Buy OMU, MTM, or SLM on a pullback; they show strong R:R potential in the Weakening quadrant.

  2. Buy KRO or WVR on a pullback to capture continuation in high-velocity technology leaders.

  3. Buy SAP or TKG on a pullback; sellers appear exhausted in the Lagging/Weakening phases.

  4. Buy MRP or SHP on a pullback as they test a statistical floor in the Lagging quadrant.

  5. Buy WBO or GND on a pullback; their high R:R indicates significant upside from the Industrials sector.

  6. Buy ANG or PAN on a pullback to ride the gold momentum while maintaining a tight stop.

  7. Buy CFR or TKG on a pullback as they emerge from the 'Improving' quadrant with fresh momentum.

  8. Buy NPN or PRX on a pullback as they represent high-conviction reversal plays at a statistical floor.

  9. Buy VOD or MTN on a pullback to stay aligned with the broader upward macro trend.

  10. Buy N91 or NY1 on a pullback to capitalize on the capitulation bounce in the Financials sector.

  11. If BTI or SBK spikes higher from here, they enter a confirmed sell range for a shorting opportunity due to exhaustion.

  12. If ARL or SNT trades higher, they hit a 'NO' buy zone, providing a tactical shorting opportunity.

  13. If S32 or GLN spikes from current levels, they move deeper into the 'Overextended' zone for a potential short.

  14. If TFG or CLS spikes from here, they hit a 'Sell on Rally' trap, ideal for tactical shorting.

  15. If RBO or OUT trades higher, the vertical thrust enters a 'NO' buy zone, signaling a shorting chance.

  16. If BHG or OMN trades higher, they hit a 'Momentum Wall,' making them candidates for a short entry.

  17. If CAT or PMR spikes higher, they enter an 'Avoid Chasing' zone, perfect for a contrarian short.

  18. If SUI trades higher, it approaches a sell/reduce range where momentum is likely to stall.

  19. If MSP or ISO spikes higher, it creates a 'Sell on Rally' shorting opportunity near resistance.

  20. If SSW or IMP spikes into extreme overextension, they provide a low-risk sell/reduce opportunity.

  21. Watch for a False Breakdown in TRU or WBC: If price dips below the recent support level but closes back above it within 1–2 sessions, it creates a high-conviction Long/Buy opportunity (Bear Trap).

  22. Watch for a False Breakout in BTI or SBK: If price spikes above current multi-year resistance on low volume only to fail and close back within the range, it creates a high-conviction Short opportunity (Bull Trap).

  23. Watch for a False Breakdown in SHP or PIK: A brief "stop-hunt" below the 200-day moving average that is immediately reclaimed signals a strong Long entry.

  24. Watch for a False Breakout in S32: A vertical move into record territory that fails to attract institutional volume on the "retest" is a major Short signal.

  25. Watch for a "Pin Bar" Reversal in NPN: If a move to new lows creates a long lower wick, it confirms a false breakdown and provides a precise Buy entry.

  26. Identify a "Bullish Engulfing" in SAP: If a small red candle is followed by a large green candle that completely covers it, the Improving phase is confirmed—Buy Now.

  27. Execute a "Short" on SNT if a Shooting Star forms: A small body with a very long upper wick at resistance indicates a False Breakout.

  28. Long EXX on a Bull Flag breakout: If the stock consolidates sideways after a 5% gain and then breaks the upper trendline, enter for the Continuation trade.

  29. Short AGL on a Double Top: If price tests the resistance target twice and fails to break through, it confirms institutional selling.

  30. Buy NPN on a Volume Climax: If the stock drops 5% on record volume but finishes the day green, it signifies Capitulation.
