Consumer Scan
Consumer Scan
Consumer is a bifurcated wreckage. LULU and NKE are in deep structural downtrends (-58% and -44% from 52-week highs), HIMS is the cultural-thesis standout with +47% in 30 days (but approaching overbought at RSI 68), and CROX + SBUX are the only names printing golden crosses. Last scan was 16 days ago (2026-04-10). Protein Economy thesis (BRBR) was closed in retrospective — no BRBR longs.

Tier Analysis
Tier 1 — Cultural Thesis (HIMS, LULU, CMG, DPZ, CROX)
HIMS $30.56 | RSI 68 | +47% 30D The GLP-1 telehealth play is ripping. Still -57% from its 52-week high but 46% SMA50 premium tells you the move has been explosive. The risk: RSI approaching overbought, 30-day move is among the sharpest in the scan. Any GLP-1 regulatory headline could whipsaw. Not chasing here — wait for RSI pullback below 55.
CROX $102.32 | RSI 61 | Golden Cross | +28% 30D CROX is the surprise winner. Golden cross confirmed, +17% above SMA200, and +28% in 30 days with relative calm in RSI (61 is not stretched). Cultural resilience play — foam footwear as anti-status signal. This is the better risk/reward than HIMS at current levels.
CMG $34.21 | RSI 48 | -41% from 52wk high Chipotle is structurally broken — death cross, -11% below SMA200, -34% 1-year. The cultural appeal is intact but valuation compression from peak growth multiples is ongoing. RSI 48 is not oversold enough to be interesting. Watch for RSI < 35 before considering.
DPZ $367.83 | RSI 46 | -26% from 52wk high Domino's holding SMA20 almost exactly ($367 price, $367 SMA20). Death cross, -11% below SMA200. The value meal defensive narrative doesn't compensate for lack of technical setup. Wait.
LULU $143.80 | RSI 34 | -58% from 52wk high Lululemon is a falling knife. -12.9% in one week, -25% in 3 months, -62% over 3 years. Death cross, -21.5% below SMA200. The brand is under pressure from DTC competition and post-pandemic athleisure normalization. RSI approaching 30 but momentum is still negative. Not a buy yet — need RSI < 28 and a stabilization week.
Tier 2 — Stalwarts (SBUX, DECK)
SBUX $97.48 | RSI 58 | Golden Cross Starbucks turnaround is quietly working. Golden cross, +9.8% above SMA200, -7% from 52wk high. Brian Niccol effect. Not cheap but the technical setup is among the cleanest in consumer right now. Hold existing positions.
DECK $108.53 | RSI 55 | Golden Cross Deckers (UGG/HOKA) has been the stealth winner — golden cross, +5% above SMA200, positive across all timeframes. Low drama, consistent execution. Underowned by most.
Tier 3 — Broken (NKE)
NKE $44.69 | RSI 35 | -44% from 52wk high Nike is a generational restructuring story happening in real time. -30% below SMA50, -30% below SMA200, death cross. -62% over 3 years. The China business, DTC pivot cost overruns, and brand dilution are compounding. RSI 35 is approaching oversold but not there yet. At RSI < 28 with insider buying this becomes interesting for a bounce trade only — not a conviction rebuild.
