104 stocks found across 40 watchlists (22 parabolic, 49 monster, 33 strong, 50 secular)


The monster universe contracted sharply — from 158 stocks on March 26 to 104 today, a 34% shrinkage in just five days. The story is unmistakable: the tech/semis/AI cohort that powered the 2025 bull run has gone largely dark. NVDA, AVGO, ANET, TSM, MU, WDC, COHR, LRCX, PLTR, DELL, STX — all dropped out of monster territory, most now sitting below key SMAs or too far off their 52-week highs to qualify even as secular monsters. This is sector rotation in real time, and it's dramatic.

What's standing is a very different beast. Energy is the new monster king — crude oil, oilfield services, refiners, E&Ps, LNG tankers, and pipelines dominate every tier. Commodities (aluminium, lithium, methanol, chemicals) are surging on tariff-driven supply chain repricing. Biotech has a small but fierce cluster holding up. The one notable new entrant in the non-energy space is Alcoa (AA), now breaking out on metals demand. LABU (leveraged biotech ETF) also appears, though with all the usual caveats. The pivot from "AI everything" to "hard assets and energy infrastructure" is the dominant read of this scan.

RSI overbought warnings are far fewer this scan — 8 stocks vs 32 on March 26 — which tells you most of the energy/commodity names already had their blow-off and are now digesting gains. The handful still overbought (DAWN, CLMT, CNTA, ELVN, APA, EQNR, E, DOW, DAR, BTE, OXY, EXAS, ACLX, CHRD, CRC) are trim candidates. The bulk of the energy universe is cooling to healthy RSI 50-65, which is the best re-entry zone. The secular monster list (50 names, up from 45) shows the tech names haven't died — NVDA, AVGO, ANET, PLTR are all still secular outperformers — they're just on pause.

Theme Clusters

Energy Dominance (Oil, Gas, Services, Refiners)

APA, EQNR, LBRT, USO, NE, FTI, KGS, CVE, HAL, CRGY, EC, BTE, MUR, OXY, CHRD, DK, DHT, INSW, FRO, COP, XOM, DVN, IMO, MTDR, CRC, CNQ, XOP, XLE, OIH, SLB, MPC, FANG, CTRA, AROC, HP, ECG, GLNG

The unambiguous dominant theme. Crude oil (WTI + Brent) has broken out hard on Middle East/Russia supply tension and tariff-driven reshoring narratives. Every rung of the oil complex is running: E&Ps, drillers, oilfield services, refiners, tankers, pipelines. EQNR and E bring international diversification. This is not a one-stock story — the breadth across tiers is remarkable. The cluster is mostly RSI 50-70, meaning the blow-off phase is ahead, not behind.

Chemicals & Industrial Commodities

DOW, LYB, CC, MEOH, CF, ANDE, ALB, AA, BG, DAR, DAN

Tariff and supply chain repricing is driving a chemical/industrial materials breakout. DOW and LYB (petrochemicals) have surged on feedstock advantages. CF (nitrogen fertilizers) and ANDE (grain) are benefiting from agricultural commodity strength. ALB and AA (lithium, aluminium) represent the metals-for-electrification angle. AA is a new entrant this scan — Alcoa breaking out on aluminium tariff tailwinds. DAR (renewable diesel) sits at the energy/chemicals crossover.

Biotech & Healthcare

ERAS, CNTA, CELC, EWTX, APGE, FOLD, PTGX, EXAS, ACLX, LABU, MRNA

A quiet but persistent biotech cluster. ERAS (+325% in 3 months) is the standout name — clinical-stage oncology with a parabolic chart. CNTA and ELVN are smaller biotech names with strong momentum. EXAS and ACLX are at RSI extremes and due for cooling. LABU (leveraged biotech 3x ETF — see warning below) shows up as confirmation the sector is alive. MRNA's 50% above SMA200 looks increasingly like a base rather than a parabola — 3M performance +70% but RSI only 48.5, healthy.

Infrastructure & Power Build-Out

AGX, VRT, FIX, MTZ, MOD, GEV, KEYS, GLW, CENX, CIEN, DOCN, FSLY, CGON

The AI infrastructure / power grid capex cycle is still intact even as NVDA and chip names have cooled. AGX (industrial construction), FIX (building services), MTZ (telecom/energy infrastructure), VRT (data center power) all remain well above SMA200. CIEN (optical networking), FSLY (edge cloud), DOCN (cloud infra), and GLW (fiber optics) represent the networking/cloud layer. These names are not as extended as they were — VRT at RSI 48.7 is actually a solid entry zone.

Defense & Aerospace

ESLT, LBRT (partial — see Secular: DFEN)

Thin cluster in active monsters, but ESLT (Elbit Systems, Israeli defense) at +49% above SMA200 and DFEN (defense ETF) qualifying as secular monster (+238% 1Y) confirms the defense secular trend is alive. LUNR (space/lunar logistics) holding in strong tier.


Key Observations

  • Monster universe contracted 34% (158 → 104 stocks) in 5 days — the sharpest contraction since the AI correction began. This is not noise; it reflects genuine sector rotation out of tech/AI into hard assets.
  • Tech/semis/AI almost entirely absent from active tiers. NVDA, AVGO, ANET, TSM, MU, WDC, PLTR, DELL, STX, COHR, LRCX — all dropped to secular monster status or off the list entirely. The AI trade is not dead but it needs time to build a new base.
  • Energy breadth is historic. 35+ energy-related names across all three active tiers. This level of energy dominance hasn't been seen since 2022. The RSI distribution (mostly 50-70) suggests the move has legs — the March 2022 oil spike saw RSIs clustered 75-90 before reversal.
  • Overbought count collapsed from 32 to 16. The energy/commodity names that were dangerously extended 5 days ago (XOP RSI 83, MPC RSI 75, FANG RSI 78, CVX RSI 78, CTRA RSI 79) have all cooled to healthy ranges. The market is digesting, not collapsing.
  • AA as new entrant is notable. Alcoa breaking into monster tier on aluminium tariff dynamics signals metals are joining the commodity rotation. Watch AA, CENX, and ALB as a connected aluminium cluster.
  • VRT at RSI 48.7 with +43.6% vs SMA200 is the best risk/reward in the scan — premier AI infrastructure play that's cooled to a healthy technical setup while the underlying capex cycle remains intact.
  • Secular monster list (50 names) is a shopping list. NVDA (-3.6% vs SMA200), AVGO (-5.8%), ANET (-7%), PLTR (-11%) are the secular champs doing a controlled reset. These are re-entry opportunities for those with conviction on the multi-year thesis, not deteriorating businesses.

Secular pullback (re-entry candidates) NVDA, AVGO, ANET, PLTR, VRT, STX, WDC, COHR, MU, LRCX, TSM, RKLB, PWR Multi-year thesis intact; price weakness is opportunity if macro stabilizes

Leveraged ETF Note

LABU (3x Biotech Bull) appears in Tier 3 Strong at +38.1% above SMA200. This reflects the genuine biotech momentum in the underlying sector but carries standard leveraged ETF decay risk. Not a hold-and-forget position — only for tactical trades with defined exit. FNGD (3x Financials Bear) also appears at +30.4% above SMA200, reflecting financial sector weakness. Similarly tactical, not structural. NUGT (2x Gold Miners Bull) in secular monster list (+267% 1Y) shows the gold miner complex is in a genuine bull cycle.


New Entrants vs March 26

Stocks entering monster territory since the March 26 scan:

Only 2 new entrants against 56 dropouts — confirms this scan is about the market narrowing to energy/commodities rather than broadening.
