Tier Analysis

Defensive megacap pack (WMT, COST, TGT, TJX, YUM): All within ±5% of SMA20, all golden-cross. The "boring is good" trade — flat to slightly up while the rest of the market thrashes. None signaling entry, none signaling exit.

Home improvement broken: HD/LOW both well below SMA200 (HD -10.5%, LOW -2.6%). HD especially weak — RSI 42, -23% from high. Housing-cycle proxy and it's signaling continued weakness.

Discretionary/restaurant tail: ANF (RSI 38, -12.3% 7D) and MCD (RSI 33.6, -5.2% 30D) leading the oversold list. ANF lost a third of its value from peak.

Entry Zones

Stock Price RSI 30D% Setup
MCD $292.39 33.6 ↓ -5.23% Defensive name oversold — quality franchise pullback
ANF $85.23 38.4 -2.25% Mall-retail bleeding, -36% from high — too speculative
HD $329.06 41.9 +1.72% Housing proxy still leaking, no entry yet

What Changed

  • ANF lost a leg — -12.3% 7D drop pushed it deep into death-cross territory
  • MCD slid into oversold — RSI 33.6, first time near accumulation zone in months
  • Defensive megacaps hold the line — WMT/COST/TJX/TGT all within range, no cracks
