The bifurcation has reached new extremes: INTC RSI 87 (+98% 30D, -0.83% from 52wk high), GOOGL RSI 82 (+30% 30D, +14% 7D), AMD RSI 79 (+66% 30D), AMZN RSI 77 (+28% 30D), MRVL RSI 77 (+54% 30D, +110% 3M) — versus SNOW (RSI 35, -23% 30D, -19% 7D), ZS (RSI 32, -50% vs SMA200, -15% 7D), WDAY (RSI 38, -57% from ATH), VEEV (RSI 33, -49% from ATH), TEM (-56% from ATH). Compute is in melt-up; SaaS is in melt-down. The "compute wins, software commoditized" thesis isn't a thesis anymore — it's the entire scan.

Overall
🔴 EXTREME BIFURCATION, COMPUTE PARABOLIC — Six chip/hyperscaler names with RSI 75+, simultaneously SaaS at multi-year lows. Scan looks like two different markets glued together.
ZS (RSI 32.1, -15.1% 7D, -20.2% 30D, -50% vs SMA200), VEEV (RSI 32.9, -13.3% 7D, -14.5% 30D, -49% from ATH), SNOW (RSI 34.5, -18.6% 7D, -23.0% 30D, -52% from ATH), WDAY (RSI 38.4, -13.1% 7D, -57% from ATH), TSLA (RSI 39.2, -10.9% 30D), META (RSI 40.3, -8% 7D, -23.6% from ATH)
Key insight
INTC at RSI 87.5 with 30D +98% and price 0.83% from a 52-week high is a literal "everyone-is-in" parabolic signature. The Intel turnaround story is no longer skeptical — it's the most-extended chart in the scan. When the laggard becomes the leader at this slope, you trim, you don't add.
ZS (32.1), VEEV (32.9), SNOW (34.5), WDAY (38.4), TEM (44.2 borderline), TSLA (39.2), META (40.3). All deep-down trends; none of these are contrarian bounces yet — they're broken theses without catalysts. ZS and VEEV are the most-extended laggards on absolute discount terms. We had ZS RSI 32 in the Apr 28 scan too — three days later it dropped another -15% with RSI still 32. That's the definition of "no buyers."
Neutral/Strong (RSI 40-70)
The middle band — NVDA (53), MSFT (54.5), TSM (62), AVGO (69), ASML (51), CRM (51), ADBE (53), KLAC (51), PLTR (51), CRWD (60). These are healthier names cooling or recovering — most have a death cross flag suggesting they're in repair mode but not breaking out.
Extended (RSI 70+) — bubble watch
INTC (87.5), GOOGL (82.1), AMD (79.4), BE (77.7), AMZN (77.3), MRVL (76.7), MU (71.5), STX (70.7), AIQ (70.5). Nine names above RSI 70 in a single scan. INTC is the standout — RSI 87 is statistically extreme.
INTC accelerated. Apr 28: RSI 82, +105% 30D. May 1: RSI 87, +98% 30D, +14.8% 7D more, now -0.83% from ATH. This is going from "extended" to "literal melt-up." The Intel turnaround is now the most-extended chart in the AI scan.
GOOGL ripped on what looks like an earnings/guidance catalyst. +13.9% 7D, RSI 82 (was 71). Cleanest mega-cap breakout in this scan.
NVDA cooled meaningfully. RSI 71 → 53 in three days — the prior leader is now the calmer chart. -1.5% 7D suggests rotation INTO INTC/AMD/MRVL, OUT of NVDA.
SaaS extended its bleed.SNOW -19% 7D, ZS -15% 7D, VEEV -13% 7D, WDAY -13% 7D. Same trajectory as last scan but worse. ZS RSI is still 32 after another -15% week — buyers absent.
Memory still working.MU/STX/WDC remain the "what AVGO/NVDA was 6 months ago" trade. RSI 67-71, near ATHs across all three.
TEM (Tempus AI) cracked. -10.2% 7D, -56% from ATH, RSI 44. Not a clear capitulation yet but the trajectory is identical to SNOW/VEEV.
The scan-level read: the bifurcation is now louder. Compute extending into stretched territory, SaaS extending into deeper rubble. The middle (NVDA, AVGO, ASML, TSM) is the only place a balanced operator can add right now.
