Strict filter (RSI<30 AND vsSMA20<0) yields only WMT — the broad market melt-up has cleared most deep discounts. Near-threshold watch list (RSI 30-40 AND vsSMA20<0 or RSI<30) surfaces CME, SBUX, UBER, NFLX, PEP, LOW, COST as the secondary tier. INTU is the deepest fundamental wreck (-59.3% from high, strong-down). Most names have bounced; bargains are thin.

Tier Analysis

Tier 1: True Bargain (RSI < 30 + negative SMA20 = primary filter)

WMT — $115.75 | RSI 28.7 | vsSMA20 -9.1% | -12.1% 30D | -14.4% from 52wkHi

  • Walmart is the singular true bargain in the scan. Consumer staples defensive in weak-down trend but brand moat is among the strongest in the world.
  • RSI 28.7 approaching capitulation — historically a buy for quality defensives
  • The -12.1% 30D decline likely reflects consumer spending anxiety + tariff pass-through fears
  • Quality: best-in-class retail execution, grocery market-share gains, global supply chain advantages
  • Discount: -14.4% from high, -9.1% below SMA20
  • Signal: ✅ Strong Buy for patient holders — position sizing matters at current volatility

Tier 2: Near-Threshold Quality (RSI 30-40, negative SMA20 — assess thesis)

CME Group — $273.54 | RSI 33.5 | vsSMA20 -5.3% | -5.0% 30D | -16.9% from high

  • Exchange monopoly with structural competitive moats; rate volatility drives volume
  • RSI 33.5 in a down-trending tape; -14.2% 3M decline
  • Quality: AAA business model, counter-cyclical in volatility — rates/derivatives benefit from uncertainty
  • Entry zone: $260-$275 for patient accumulation

PepsiCo — $144.19 | RSI 34.6 | vsSMA20 -4.3% | -9.0% 30D | -15.9% from high

LOW (Lowe's) — $214.36 | RSI 37.1 | vsSMA20 -3.4% | -10.2% 30D | -26.9% from high

  • Home improvement exposure; housing market weakness hurting near-term
  • -16.3% 3M; housing activity weak but thesis is secular (aging homes + deferred maintenance)

DE (Deere) — $542.18 | RSI 40.0 | vsSMA20 -3.7% | -8.1% 30D | -19.6% from high

  • Agricultural/construction equipment; precision farming secular thesis intact

Action Matrix

Action Stocks Why
✅ STRONG BUY WMT RSI 28.7, -9.1% below SMA20, -12.1% 30D — quality defensive oversold
📈 ACCUMULATE CME, PEP, COST Quality franchises in RSI 33-35 zone — DCA entry
🔍 RESEARCH LOW, DE Cyclical quality at discount; need housing/ag cycle read
🔍 RESEARCH ISRG Surgical robotics monopoly pullback — check if thesis intact
🔍 RESEARCH NFLX, UBER Deep discounts but thesis questions remain
❌ DON'T BUY INTU -59.3% from high in strong-down trend — AI disruption to moat

What Changed

  • Bargain bin is nearly emptyQQQ RSI 77 melt-up cleared most discounts; this bin is thin
  • WMT the last quality defensive oversold — joins broader consumer-defensive softening (COST, PEP, CME)
  • INTU keeps deteriorating — now -59.3% from high; what was a pullback is looking like a structural break
  • SBUX bounced above threshold — RSI 39 is close but trend is surprising strong-up (3M +3.1%), suggesting a base
  • ISRG RSI 40 — pullback from $600+ highs; if thesis intact this is interesting at $424

The Gold

Key Discoveries

Discovery Implication
Only 1 stock passes strict filter (WMT) Market rally has cleared bargains — either take WMT or wait for a broad correction
CME/PEP/COST cluster at RSI 33-35 Consumer defensive/financial infrastructure group pulling back in sync — sector concern or entry?
INTU -59.3% from high, RSI 40, strong-down Prolonged destruction; AI is repricing the tax/accounting software moat in real-time

Open Questions

  • WMT at RSI 29: is this a consumer cycle soft patch or something more structural?
  • INTU: at what price does the AI disruption risk become priced in?
  • ISRG -29.7% from high: is the surgical robotics monopoly premium collapsing or is this buyable?
