2026-08-08 Bargain-Bin Scan — TTD Craters -21.9% In A Single Session To Become The Lone Strict Hit As QCOM Fully Recovers Off The List, ORCL's 30-Day Print Flips Positive, INTU Bounces A Sixth Straight Cycle

TTD crashed -21.9% in a single session — RSI falling to 28.2 with the stock now -80.6% off its 52-week high — becoming the only name on the strict screen this cycle, a name that sat entirely outside this scan's narrative last cycle. QCOM, last cycle's lone strict hit, fully recovered off the list — RSI climbed to 47.6 from 29.3 and its price moved back above its 20-day average, a complete reversal after deepening for two straight cycles. ORCL's 30-day print flipped positive for the first time in this tracked window (+5.01%, was -8.55%), extending its recovery into a fourth confirming cycle. INTU's broken-thesis flag survived a sixth consecutive cycle of price improvement (30D now +20.06%, up from +18.87%) — still a hard avoid regardless of the chart. The broader software/semis complex extended higher across the board this cycle, consistent with the broad risk-on move showing up across the desk's other screens.

Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 TTD crashed into the lone strict-hit slot as QCOM fully recovered off the list; the broader software/semis complex extended higher
Strict hit TTD (RSI 28.2, `collapse`, -80.6% from 52wk high, unrated) — the only name below RSI 30 this cycle, and a fresh single-day crash
Fully recovered off the list QCOM (RSI 47.6, was 29.3) — price moved back above its 20-day average, a complete reversal after two cycles of deepening
Closest misses TSLA (41.5), CAT (42.7), SPGI (43.5) — all below their 20-day average, none near the strict threshold
Broken thesis — avoid regardless of price INTU (RSI 61.1, thesis flag explicitly `broken`, -58.3% from high, 30D +20.06% — a sixth straight cycle of gains)
Broad extension ORCL, WDAY, SAP, ADBE, NOW, CRM, DE, HON, DPZ, BKNG all pushed further into positive 30-day territory this cycle
Key insight TTD's single-day crash replacing QCOM as the lone strict hit is this cycle's clearest story — a fresh, isolated breakdown inside an otherwise broadly recovering software/semis complex, not a continuation of the same name's deterioration

What's Going On

The strict bargain-bin filter — RSI below 30 and price below its 20-day average — returns only one name this cycle, and it is a fresh entrant. TTD ($13.80, RSI 28.2, vs-20-day -24.3%, 1D -21.9%, 7D -23.5%, 30D -27.6%, -80.6% off its 52-week high) crashed in a single session, with relative volume 7.1x average — the steepest single-day breakdown tracked anywhere in this screen. This is not a continuation of a prior story: TTD sat in the "remaining tracked names" bucket last cycle at RSI in the 40-70 range with no oversold flag; this cycle's move is a genuinely fresh single-name event with no corpus source identified in this session's data for its cause.

QCOM, last cycle's lone strict hit, fully recovered off the list. ($167.86, RSI 47.6, was 29.3; vs-20-day now +0.9%, was -14.8%; 30D -10.0%, was -18.9%, a fresh +4.66% single-day move) — a complete reversal after two straight cycles of deepening. This closes out the single-name-deterioration story flagged over the last two cycles: QCOM is no longer below its 20-day average at all.

The closest-miss tier holds three names this cycle, none particularly close to the strict threshold. TSLA ($328.58, RSI 41.5, vs-20-day -4.3%, 30D -16.6%) continues clearing away from oversold after crossing above the strict line two cycles ago. CAT ($842.19, RSI 42.7, vs-20-day -2.9%, 30D -11.0%) and SPGI ($408.19, RSI 43.5, vs-20-day -4.5%, 30D -5.3%) round out the group — both quality names trading modestly below their 20-day averages without any acute oversold signal.

INTU carries the same explicit thesis: broken flag from the last five scans (RSI 61.1, -58.3% off its 52-week high, vs-20-day +6.9% — well above its 20-day average) after another price gain (30D now +20.06%, up from +18.87% last cycle). This is the sixth consecutive cycle of price improvement on a name whose thesis flag has not moved. Per desk doctrine, no bounce clears a broken-thesis flag — this stays an avoid regardless of the chart.

ORCL's recovery extended into a fourth straight confirming cycle, and its 30-day print flipped positive for the first time in this tracked window. RSI improved further to 56.5 (was 44.1 last cycle, 33.2 two cycles back), and 30D moved to +5.01% from -8.55% — the first positive 30-day print for this name in this desk's tracked history of it, price up to $147.02 (was $129.87). It remains -58.2% off its 52-week high and in collapse regime by the long-run definition, but the multi-cycle trend is now unambiguous.

The broader software/semis complex extended higher across the board this cycle, consistent with the risk-on move flagged across the desk's other screens this session. WDAY ($179.64, RSI 70.4, 30D +30.3%), SAP ($206.16, RSI 75.1, 30D +31.0%), ADBE ($265.21, RSI 65.9, 30D +20.0%), NOW ($124.88, RSI 67.2, 30D +15.9%), and CRM ($192.74, RSI 62.5, 30D +15.7%) all pushed further into positive territory — several of these names (SAP, WDAY) are now firmly extended into overbought RSI territory. On the industrial/strength side, DE ($620.83, RSI 55.8, 30D +4.0%), HON ($246.21, RSI 58.4, 30D +11.7%), and DPZ ($350.95, RSI 58.1, 30D +16.1%) all extended as well, and BKNG ($214.42, RSI 73.1, 30D +23.0%) — previously untracked in this scan's narrative — surfaced as a newly extended name.

QCOM fully recovered off the strict list — RSI 29.3→47.6, vs-20-day -14.8%→+0.9% Complete reversal after two straight cycles of deepening
TSLA continued clearing away from oversold — RSI 31.9→41.5, 30D -26.8%→-16.6% Extends the improvement flagged two cycles ago
INTU's broken-thesis flag persists through a sixth bounce — 30D +18.87%→+20.06% Avoid stands regardless of the improving chart
ORCL's 30-day print flipped positive for the first time — RSI 44.1→56.5, 30D -8.55%→+5.01% Fourth straight confirming cycle; the strongest evidence yet this is a durable recovery

The software rally extended further — WDAY, SAP, ADBE, NOW, CRM all pushed higher No longer just cooling from prior highs; several are now newly overbought
BKNG surfaced as a newly extended name — RSI 73.1, 30D +23.0% Previously untracked in this scan's narrative, now firmly in overbought territory

How To Read The Board

This bucket screens for cheap, not for buyable. regime labels (collapse/downtrend/pullback/basing) describe the chart, not a recommendation — TTD's fresh entry into the strict list this cycle is a single-session breakdown worth flagging, not automatically a discount worth buying, and this scan has no corpus source for what drove the -21.9% single-day move. thesis: broken is a hard override: no price level makes a broken-thesis name attractive, and INTU should be avoided regardless of discount, six bounces in. This cycle's real lesson is that QCOM's full recovery off the strict list, paired with TTD's arrival, means the "lone strict hit" slot rotated to an entirely new, previously untracked name rather than the same deterioration continuing.
