Data as-of 2026-07-24 close (Friday settled close).

TMO crossed into overbought this week — RSI 71.0, the only name in this 39-ticker cut above the 70 threshold, even as its thesis stays flagged "intact." At the other end, IONS — the sector's lone sub-25 print two scans ago — climbed back to RSI 32.7, still down -26.1% over the past 30 days but no longer in free fall. The bigger story is a rotation: DHR (65.7 → 50.4) and PTGX (69.0 → 60.0), last scan's two steadiest large caps, both cooled hard, while ISRG stayed pinned in a collapse regime at RSI 31.4, -45.0% off its 52-week high. Thirteen of the 39 names now sit in the 25-40 oversold band — the widest spread in recent scans — though for the first time in a while nothing prints below 25.

Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 Mixed — a broad rotation: last scan's steadiest large caps (DHR, PTGX, REGN) cooled while deep-oversold names (IONS, LEGN) found relief; TMO alone pushed into overbought
Leaders TMO (RSI 71.0, the only overbought print, thesis intact); ABBV (67.4, steadiest large-cap in the cut); INCY (61.9)
Laggards NTLA (RSI 30.5, still -30.8% over 30 days); ISRG (31.4, collapse regime, -45.0% from its 52-week high); BEAM (31.8, worsened from 34.8 last scan)
Key insight The same five names carry a rated "intact" thesis flag as last scan (BNTX, TMO, ISRG, MDT, IQV) — TMO is now the one thesis-intact name trading overbought

What's Going On

TMO is the session's clearest single-name story. RSI climbed to 71.0 — the only name in this cut above the overbought threshold — on a +6.72% week and +15.45% 30-day gain (change7d, change30d per biotech-scan.json), while the thesis flag still reads "intact." That combination (extended technicals, unchanged fundamental read) is worth a second look next cycle rather than an automatic add at current levels.

ISRG remains the sector's most structurally broken large-cap. RSI sits at 31.4, essentially unchanged from the 30.2 flagged two scans ago, but the price keeps deteriorating: -45.02% off its 52-week high, worse than the -42.8% read on July 17, with the regime classifier still reading "collapse" despite an "intact" thesis flag on file.

The gene-editing cohort split rather than moving together this time. NTLA (RSI 30.5) and CRSP (36.3) are essentially flat versus two scans ago, LEGN improved (27.9 → 31.1), but EDIT (46.4 → 36.6) and BEAM (34.8 → 31.8) both got worse. That's a break from the pattern flagged on July 17, when the whole group — NTLA, CRSP, RXRX, LEGN — moved down together.

Two names had the roughest single sessions in the cut: DNA dropped -7.19% in one day, and LEGN fell -5.57% in a single session (change1d per biotech-scan.json). Neither move shows up as a clean reversal signal yet — both remain in weaker technical regimes.

What Changed Since Prior Scan (2026-07-17)

  • TMO pushed into overbought. RSI 62.3 → 71.0, +15.45% over 30 days — the only name in the cut now above the 70 threshold, thesis still marked "intact."
  • IONS recovered from the sector's only sub-25 print. RSI 23.9 → 32.7, though still -26.1% over 30 days and the regime classifier still reads "collapse."
  • DHR and PTGX, last scan's steadiest large caps, both cooled hard. DHR: RSI 65.7 → 50.4. PTGX: RSI 69.0 → 60.0. Neither is broken, but both gave back their standout status.
  • The gene-editing cohort diverged instead of moving together. LEGN improved (27.9 → 31.1); NTLA (30.5 → 30.5) and CRSP (36.2 → 36.3) held flat; EDIT (46.4 → 36.6) and BEAM (34.8 → 31.8) worsened.
  • A (Agilent) posted the biggest positive move in the cut. RSI 50.3 → 61.4, +20.15% over 3 months, +5.41% over the past week.
  • Broad biotech ETF proxies cooled. XBI: 55.1 → 48.6. IBB: 58.4 → 53.7. IBBQ: 57.9 → 52.5.
  • REGN, GILD, DXCM, KYMR, NVO all cooled from prior extension into the RSI 48-54 band, down from the high-50s/60s two scans ago.
  • ABBV held its leadership position. RSI 65.9 → 67.4, still not extended vs the group.
  • Universe unchanged. Same 39 tickers as the July 17 cut — no entrants or dropouts.

How To Read The Board

RSI measures how stretched a stock is over the past 14 sessions — under 30 signals oversold, over 70 signals overbought/extended. vs SMA20 is the price gap to the 20-day average; a large negative number means a fast recent decline. vs VWAP is the premium (or discount) versus the average price paid by everyone still holding — a big positive number means most of a name's move is unrealized gain that can get sold into weakness. Trend pairs direction/strength with a cross signal: GC (golden cross, the short-term average above the long-term average) is structurally healthier than DC (death cross). A stock at a low RSI while still marked strong-down DC or in a "collapse" regime — like ISRG here — is not a confirmed buy signal; it means the price is cheap relative to its own recent range, not that the structure has turned.

Tier Analysis

Extreme Oversold (RSI < 25)

None. For the first time in several scans, nothing in this cut is below 25 — IONS, the sole sub-25 print last scan, has climbed to 32.7.

Oversold (RSI 25-40)

NTLA (30.5), LEGN (31.1), ISRG (31.4), BEAM (31.8), IONS (32.7), DNA (35.3), SRPT (35.5), CRSP (36.3), EDIT (36.6), MRNA (36.7), RARE (37.6), RXRX (38.9), ALNY (39.3). Thirteen names — the widest spread of any recent scan — split between deteriorating positions (BEAM, EDIT, DNA) and names showing early relief (IONS, LEGN).

Entry Zones

Stock Price Zone RSI 30D% Setup
AMGN $376.04 <$349.50 (support shelf) 64.1 +7.0% Steady climber, not extended vs the group
ABBV $259.36 <$226.40 (support shelf) 67.4 +11.2% Near-leader in the cut; structure clean, thesis unrated
TMO $568.26 Extended — no clean entry 71.0 +15.5% Only overbought print in the cut; thesis intact but wait for a pullback rather than chase
IONS $56.55 No support shelf identified 32.7 -26.1% Recovering off the sector's lone sub-25 print, but still `strong-down DC` and no confirmed reversal
ISRG $337.50 No support shelf identified 31.4 -16.0% Collapse regime persists; thesis flagged "intact" but structure is broken — wait for confirmation

Action Matrix

Action Stocks Why
📈 ACCUMULATE AMGN, ABBV Cleanest technicals in the cut, not extended vs VWAP
🔒 HOLD LLY, VRTX, NVO, DHR, A, DXCM, PTGX, MDT, IQV, XBI, IBB, IBBQ, LABU, COGT, KYMR, ILMN, BMRN, INCY, BIIB, REGN, GILD, NKTR Uptrends mostly intact after cooling from a stronger prior read; don't chase at current premiums
🔍 WATCH NTLA, LEGN, BEAM, DNA, EDIT, MRNA, RARE, BNTX Mixed pullbacks, unresolved either way
⚠️ AVOID / DON'T CHASE TMO RSI 71, the only overbought print — thesis intact but poor risk/reward at current levels
❌ AVOID / FALLING KNIFE ISRG, CRSP, RXRX, SRPT, IONS, ALNY All in a "collapse" regime — deep oversold and structurally broken, no confirmed reversal

What To Watch Next

  • Does TMO's push into overbought resolve as a normal cool-off, or does the thesis-intact large-cap keep running?
  • IONS climbed off the sector's only sub-25 print to 32.7 this week — does that turn into a confirmed reversal, or is the "collapse" regime still the more accurate read?
  • DHR and PTGX, last scan's two steadiest large-cap holds, both cooled hard — is this a normal pullback inside an intact uptrend, or the start of something bigger?
  • The gene-editing cohort split rather than moving together this scan (LEGN better, EDIT/BEAM worse) — does it re-converge, or is this the start of genuine dispersion within the group?
