Key Discoveries

Discovery Implication
XBI near 52-week high while IBB weak Small/mid biotech outperforming large-cap pharma — speculative risk-on rotation
Life sciences tools (DHR, IQV, A) all -15% to -32% 3M CRO/CDMO sector under structural pressure — tariff-driven research pause?
GILD at RSI 31 with golden cross intact Rare setup: approaching oversold but golden cross = buyers still present
NKTR +147% 3M on strong-up Classic parabolic — one clinical readout away from reversal

Open Questions

  • Is DHR/IQV selling tariff-driven (China lab slowdown) or structural (post-COVID CRO glut)?
  • NVO bouncing at $40 — dead-cat rally or genuine bottom? Watch RSI trend next 2 weeks.
  • CRSP -15% this week — specific catalyst or sector rotation out of gene editing?
