• $TJX — WATCH: RSI 42, the only golden-crossed name in the basket, -10.24% off its 52-week high — closest to a fresh high despite a -5.43% week.
• $WMT — WATCH: RSI 55.7, death-crossed, regime pullback, modest positive 7D/30D.
• $COST — WATCH: RSI 55, death-crossed, regime pullback, modest positive 7D/30D.
• $YUM — PASS: RSI 45.3, death-crossed, regime basing, negative across 7D and 30D.

Lead pick: $TJX is the only golden-crossed name in the group and the tightest to a fresh 52-week high, though the -5.43% week is a flag worth tracking. $WMT and $COST both hold modest, unremarkable positive drift; $YUM is the clear laggard.
