Overall
🔴 RISK-OFF / NEAR CAPITULATION — SPY RSI 29.6 approaching oversold, DIA RSI 25.1 deep oversold, homebuilders collapsing (ITB -20.6% 30D), XLB RSI 24.4, XLV RSI 26.7. Energy and oil the lone holdout (XLE strong-up, USO +51.6% 30D). Gold broke down sharply (-10.9% 30D). Volatility spiking hard.
Gold reversed sharply — from safe haven to selloff: GLD was $460 in March-13 scan, now $417 (-9.5% vs prior scan). Silver even worse (-18.4% 30D). Precious metals are no longer acting as safe havens.
Oil went parabolic — USO RSI climbed to 75.2 (was 85.9 at extreme peak in March-13), remains well above SMA20. XLE death-crossed financials as the only strong sector.
Homebuilders collapsed further — ITB RSI 20.7 (was 22.1), XHB RSI 22.5 (was 24.1). Both now -20% 30D. Capitulation deepening.
DIA broke down more — RSI fell from 36.7 to 25.1. Dow underperforming other indices sharply.
International broke hard — EFA/EWJ/VWO all showing -10% to -11% 30D, accelerating from prior scan.
XLF death cross confirmed — Financials now in strong-down with death cross. Structural concern.
No safe havens working — Gold, bonds (TLT), international all breaking down simultaneously.
Key Discoveries
Discovery
Implication
Zero safe havens functioning
Gold, bonds, and international all selling off — cash is the only refuge
Oil/energy decoupled entirely from rest of market
Geopolitical premium or supply shock driving XLE/USO while everything else sells
Homebuilders at RSI 20–22 two weeks running
Structural damage, not just a pullback — avoid until housing data stabilizes
Open Questions
Is gold breaking its long-term uptrend or just correcting from an extreme parabolic?
Is oil strength geopolitical (supply disruption) or demand-driven?
When does broad-market RSI capitulation (SPY 29.6) trigger a snapback?
