Reason: CRWD is within 0.6% of a fresh 52-week high with a golden-cross uptrend regime and RSI 61.4; OKTA sits nearly as close to its own high but with flat-to-negative momentum; DDOG posted the strongest week in the basket (+9.2%) while still in a pullback regime; INTU stays death-crossed with a broken thesis despite a large 30-day bounce.

Tape Read

$CRWD leads the group: price $216.95, RSI 61.4, golden-cross, regime uptrend, thesis unrated, 7D +1.18%, 30D +4.92%, just -4.64% off its 52-week high. $OKTA sits close behind on distance-to-high: price $147.43, RSI 55.8, golden-cross, regime uptrend, thesis unrated, 7D -0.6%, 30D -2.27%, -6.1% off its high — the proximity isn't backed by positive momentum this cycle. $DDOG posted the strongest week in the basket: price $255.46, RSI 50.8, golden-cross, regime pullback, thesis intact, 7D +9.2%, 30D -3.4%, -12.73% off its high, sitting just below its 20-day average (20-day gap -0.3%). $INTU: price $345.66, RSI 63.4, death-crossed, regime downtrend, thesis flagged broken, 7D +6.28%, 30D +23.58%, still -51.56% off its 52-week high.

• $CRWD — PROMOTE: RSI 61.4, golden-cross, regime uptrend, -4.64% off its 52-week high — the tightest name to a fresh high in the group.
• $OKTA — WATCH: RSI 55.8, golden-cross, regime uptrend, but 7D -0.6% and 30D -2.27% — close to a high without positive momentum behind it.
• $DDOG — WATCH: RSI 50.8, +9.2% week, still regime pullback and -12.73% off its 52-week high, thesis intact.
• $INTU — PASS: death-crossed, regime downtrend, thesis broken, still -51.56% off its 52-week high despite a 30D bounce of +23.58%.

Lead pick: $CRWD is the clean leader — golden-cross, uptrend, and within a percentage point of a fresh 52-week high. $DDOG's +9.2% week is the basket's sharpest single move but hasn't yet moved the regime out of pullback.
