Active Perspectives (Informing Actions)

Iran War & Oil Crisis Active (Critical) USO $138 (RSI 72). +97% 3M. +$11 since 03/31. Parabolic. Agriculture (AGRO) joining.
Gold Recovery Active (High) GLD $429 consolidating (-8.3% 30D). GDX bounced +12.8% 7D. Miners recovering faster than metal.
War Ends Playbook Active (Standby) No ceasefire signal. ITB/XHB weakness creating larger war-ends entry on housing. MSFT still #8.

The Gold — Key Discoveries This Scan

Key Discoveries

Discovery Implication
NKE RSI 20 — consumer capitulation signal Iconic $100B+ brand at 5Y low. Either generational contrarian entry or sign of deeper consumer spending collapse. Deep dive required before action.
SaaS death cross sweep is sector-wide NOW, WDAY, SNOW, CRM, ADBE, INTU all -25% to -52% from highs. This is rotation, not stock-picking. Don't dip-buy individual names — wait for sector turn signal.
Oil parabolic broadening to agriculture USO +97% 3M and now AGRO +91% 3M. Commodity supercycle widening. Food inflation implications are real.
NET broke out — up trend confirmed at $211.69 +18.3% 30D. Only cyber/cloud name in up trend. $231 target within reach. Consider trailing stop upgrade.
Housing (ITB/XHB) creating war-ends entry -12% to -13% 30D on rate fears. If war ends and rates drop, housing is the highest-beta recovery play. Bookmark for playbook.
Data center physical buildout > cloud software VRT +50%, MOD +44%, PWR +26% vs SMA200 while SNOW -46%, NOW -52% from highs. The money is in picks-and-shovels, not SaaS.
ISRG RSI 33 nearing capitulation Surgical robotics monopoly at -25% from high. If RSI breaks below 30, this becomes the healthcare equivalent of the MSFT entry signal.
Monster universe stable at 88 Was 104 on 03/31 (contracted from 158). Energy/infra still dominating. MRVL entered monster territory at +31% vs SMA200.

Mistakes (Don't Repeat)

Mistake Lesson
MDT stop alert still not set in broker This has been "TODO" since 03/26. 4.4% from trigger. Do it today.
NET trailing stop discussion deferred Position up +19.3% with no trailing stop upgrade. If it reverses, giving back gains is preventable.

Open Questions

  • NKE RSI 20: Is this Nike's structural decline (DTC failures, China weakness) or a cyclical oversold that always bounces? Need deep dive.
  • SaaS capitulation: At what point does "sector rotation" become "sector opportunity"? Watch for insider buying signals in NOW/WDAY/ADBE as the catalyst.
  • USO RSI 72: How much further can oil run? Iran escalation has no ceiling, but parabolic moves always end. Trail stops, don't sell.
  • NET approaching $231 target: Take profits on target hit, or raise target given momentum?
  • ISRG RSI 33: If it breaks below 30, is that the signal to add aggressively?
