The whole board cooled on RSI this scan — S and ZS both dropped out of overbought (S: RSI 71.1→54.1; ZS: 70.2→63.3) and CRWD fell the hardest (RSI 61.4→42.8, week -11.51%) — but every single name in the group sits above its 200-day average, and ten of eleven carry positive trailing one-year returns, so this reads as a broad, shallow pullback rather than a breakdown. ZS is the one exception on the long horizon: down 32.77% over the past year and 46.07% off its 52-week high, even though it's still barely above its 200-day (+1.3%) — the trend there is genuinely under test, not just pulling back.

Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 A board-wide cooling inside intact trends — every name is above its 200-day and ten of eleven are up over the trailing year, even as RSI eased across the board.
Key insight ZS is the one structural exception: -32.77% over the past year and -46.07% off its high, sitting just 1.3% above its 200-day — a trend genuinely being tested, unlike the rest of the group's deep pullbacks.

What's Going On

CRWD had the sharpest weekly reversal in the group: RSI fell from 61.4 to 42.8, price from $216.95 to $191.95, and the week alone dropped -11.51%, the steepest single-week move on the board. CRWD still sits 38.3% above its 200-day average and is up 85.42% over the past year (alpha1y +63.61) — this is a deep pullback inside a clearly intact multi-year trend, not a broken one.

S and ZS both cooled out of overbought together. S's RSI dropped from 71.1 to 54.1 (price $23.11→$21.19, week -8.31%) while remaining 33.9% above its 200-day with a positive trailing year (+27.34%). ZS eased from 70.2 to 63.3 but its longer-horizon read is genuinely weaker than the rest of the group: it's down 32.77% over the past year, sitting 46.07% below its 52-week high, and is just 1.3% above its 200-day — barely holding above that line rather than comfortably above it like every other name here. If ZS breaks below its 200-day, that would mark a real trend test rather than a pullback.

PANW and NET both cooled meaningfully (PANW RSI 65.4→51.6, week -6.89%; NET RSI 64.3→52.2, week -7.17%) while staying well above their 200-day averages (PANW +58.3%, NET +33.7%) with strong trailing-year gains (+95.22% and +52.07%). OKTA and FTNT both weakened further and remain negative on the 30-day window (OKTA 30D -1.13%, FTNT 30D -0.99%), though both are still well above their 200-day averages and up sharply over the trailing year (FTNT +97.44%, OKTA +50.52%) — the weakness here is short-window only. BB continues to carry the group's worst 30-day print (-10.17%) but is up 120.27% over the past year and 38.1% above its 200-day. HACK, BUG, and CIBR all cooled in step with the rest of the board without a distinct break.

How To Read The Board

Every name except ZS carries a golden cross, and this scan is unusual for how uniformly the whole board eased on RSI at once — S and ZS both dropped out of overbought, CRWD fell hardest, and the rest cooled in step. What separates a genuine breakdown from a pullback here is the 200-day distance and trailing-year return: ten of eleven names sit comfortably above their 200-day with positive trailing-year returns (from FTNT's +97.44% down to BB's +120.27%, the group's widest range), which is a deep, board-wide pullback inside intact trends. ZS is the outlier — negative on the year, far off its high, and only marginally above its 200-day — the one name here where the long trend itself is genuinely being tested.

Oversold (25-40): BB (36.4) — the sole name below the line, still the group's weakest structure though improving slowly on the 30-day window.

Neutral/Strong (40+): The rest of the board, spanning CRWD/OKTA (42.8) to ZS (63.3, the board's highest print after cooling out of overbought).

Entry Zones

ZS $181.75 63.3 +27.76% Cooled out of overbought but the one name whose 200-day distance (+1.3%) and negative 1-year (-32.77%) mark a genuine trend test
S $21.19 54.1 +16.3% Cooled out of overbought while remaining 33.9% above its 200-day
BB $8.04 36.4 -10.17% Group's only oversold print; still the weakest structure though the 30-day gap is closing

Action Matrix

Action Stocks Why
🔍 WATCH CRWD Steepest weekly drop in the group; deep pullback inside an intact trend (+38.3% vs 200-day)
🔍 WATCH ZS Cooled out of overbought but the one name genuinely testing its 200-day, not just pulling back
🔒 HOLD S, NET, PANW, BUG, CIBR, HACK All cooled off overbought or near-overbought while staying comfortably above their 200-day with strong trailing-year returns
🔍 WATCH OKTA, FTNT Both negative on the 30-day window; short-window weakness inside otherwise intact long trends
🔍 WATCH BB Group's only oversold print; worst 30-day change though slowly improving

What To Watch Next

Watch Why it matters
Whether the board-wide RSI cooling continues Every name eased this scan, an unusually synchronized move
ZS's 200-day level Only 1.3% above it with a negative trailing year — the name to watch for a genuine break, not a pullback
CRWD's next print Steepest single-week drop on the board (-11.51%)
S's RSI Cooled from a third-straight overbought scan; confirm whether the pullback holds
BB's 30-day change Still the group's only oversold print, though improving
