Tier 4 — Cold (everything else)

40 of the 50 ETFs with fresh data (universe 59) sat below every tier threshold this week. Cold names are deliberately not tabulated — this scan reports takeoffs, breakouts, and uptrends; a mostly-empty board means the ETF universe is cold, not that the scan is broken.

Methodology

Mechanism-aware tiering, applied per ticker via market-engine watchlists/etf-monster-universe.json's mechanisms map:

change30d / leverage_factor. 52wk-high field is ignored — volatility decay makes it meaningless. Tier on the leverage-adjusted return.

through covered-call mechanics. Ignore 52wk-high.

  • Buffered (BUFR): near-ATH is FLAGGED as late-cycle (these are designed to be flat).
  • Closed-end fund (BST, BSTZ, PDI, USA): near-ATH flag for premium/NAV check.
  • All others (passive-index, active-discretionary, thematic-rules-based, crypto-spot):

normal monster-shape filter — Tier 1 if change30d > 20% OR change3m > 30%; Tier 2 if at ATH with RSI > 65.
