2026-07-07 Monster Scan — Breadth Keeps Shrinking, NVDA/AVGO Trend-Flip to Weak-Down, DD Artifact Cleared

Data as-of 2026-07-06 close. Pre-computed summary JSONs across all 79 price-bearing watchlists (978 unique tickers). Numbers read directly from JSON — no prose math. Prior scan: 2026-06-26-monster-scan (191 monsters).

MONSTER criteria: trend = "strong-up" AND goldenCross = true AND vsSma200 > 30, sorted by vsSma200 desc.


Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 Breadth keeps narrowing — 161 monsters today vs 191 (06-26) vs 299 at the 05-29 peak. Memory/optical/semis still own the top of the board; the RSI mix is healthier (fewer names ≥70) but the count keeps shrinking.
Monsters 161 names meet criteria, 39 with RSI ≥ 70 (down from 45). Biotech-capital-cycle (ABSI, MRNA, APGE, TXG, TWST, RVMD) and the memory/optical cluster (SNDK, MXL, IBIDF, ALAB, MU) dominate the top 20.
Structural break NVDA and AVGO both flipped `trend = weak-down` — no longer even secular-pullback holds, a step down from last scan's "barely above SMA200." SOXL (3x semis) is the sharper tell: still +121.5% above SMA200 but trend has flipped weak-down — momentum cracked while long-run extension is still parabolic, a classic broken-monster pattern.
Key insight The DD (DuPont) data artifact from the prior scan has resolved — RSI back to 50.7, vs SMA200 +10%, no longer flagged. This scan found zero suspect names under the RSI>92 + >100% 1-day-gap guard.

What's Going On

Breadth keeps compressing: 161 monsters today versus 191 a scan ago and a 299-name peak on 2026-05-29 — the fourth straight narrowing print. The names that remain qualified are concentrated in two clusters: biotech-capital-cycle names running hot off pipeline catalysts (ABSI +76% 30D at RSI 73, MRNA +72% 30D at RSI 82, APGE +61% 30D at RSI 82), and the memory/optical/semis complex that has owned this board for months (SNDK, MU, WDC, STX, MXL, IBIDF, ALAB, SIMO — all still 90-175% above their 200-day). The most important structural read isn't in the monster list at all: NVDA and AVGO have both trend-flipped to weak-down, sitting at just +2.3% and +3.8% vs SMA200 respectively — a full step down from the prior scan's "barely holding above SMA200, RSI 38-40" secular-pullback framing. Golden cross technically still holds on both, but calling them "re-entry watch" is now generous. SOXL is the sharper warning — the 3x leveraged semis ETF is still sitting at +121.5% above its 200-day (would rank top-10 if trend qualified) but trend flipped weak-down, meaning short-term momentum broke while the long-run extension hasn't unwound at all. That combination — extended but no longer trending up — is the textbook shape of distribution, not accumulation.

SUSPECT (verify corp-action) — none flagged this scan

The guard (RSI > 92 AND a single-day gap > +100%) caught zero names in this run. The prior scan's flagged artifact, DD (DuPont), has normalized: RSI is back to 50.7, vs SMA200 +10%, change1d ~0% — it no longer meets any monster or suspect criterion and has fallen off the board entirely. Treat that as resolved, not as evidence the guard is loose — it's the guard doing its job.


What Changed Since Prior Scan (2026-06-26 → 2026-07-07)

  • Monster count: 191 → 161. Fourth straight narrowing print (299 peak 05-29 → 225 → 205 → 191 → 161).
  • NVDA and AVGO trend-flipped to weak-down. Both were "secular pullback, RSI 38-40, barely above SMA200" last scan. Now they've lost the uptrend classification outright (NVDA vs SMA200 +2.3% RSI 42.3; AVGO +3.8% RSI 45.2). Golden cross intact on both, but the trend label is a real step down.
  • SOXL (3x semis) trend-flipped to weak-down while still +121.5% above SMA200. This is the sharpest signal on the board this scan: a leveraged proxy for the whole semis complex that stayed massively extended on price but lost its short-term uptrend — extension without momentum is the distribution pattern, not a buyable pullback.
  • DD (DuPont) data artifact resolved. RSI 88→50.7, no longer a monster or a suspect.
  • RSI mix improved slightly — 39 overbought names vs 45 last scan, even as the total count shrank, meaning the shrinkage is coming disproportionately from mid-tier names falling out, not just overbought names cooling off.
  • Biotech-capital-cycle stayed the hottest live clusterABSI, MRNA, APGE, TXG, TWST, RVMD all cluster in the top 25 with 30D moves of +28% to +76%, several already RSI 70+.

Mistakes To Avoid

Mistake Better read
Reading NVDA/AVGO's low RSI (38-45) as a buy signal They didn't just cool off — they trend-flipped to weak-down. Low RSI in a downtrend is not the same setup as low RSI in a pullback within an uptrend.
Treating SOXL's +121.5% vs SMA200 as still-bullish The trend label flipped weak-down; the extension is stale, not confirming. Leveraged ETFs decay fastest exactly when this pattern shows up.
Chasing the biotech-capital-cycle names (ABSI, MRNA, APGE, TXG) at current RSI Four of the six hottest names in this cluster are already RSI 70+ after 30D moves of 37-76%. This is hold/trim territory, not a fresh entry.
