No name clears the strict bargain-bin filter this cycle — RSI below 30 AND price below its 20-day average — the first zero-hit cycle in this tracked window. WMT, last cycle's lone strict hit, recovered off the line to RSI 33.2 (was 29.6), 30-day print improving to -9.74% from -5.15%, though its one-year return stayed thin at +7.26% (was +5.86%) with 1-year alpha at -12.61% and the price still -13.1% below its 200-day — still a trend genuinely under test, not a resolved story either way. The closest-miss tier again splits cleanly into two camps: names on a genuine deep pullback inside an intact long trend, and names that are structurally broken. KLAC (RSI 35.9, one-year +96.35%, +3.2% above its 200-day), CAT (RSI 38.4, one-year +84%, +4.3% above its 200-day), LRCX (RSI 44.4, one-year +190.04%, +17.3% above its 200-day), ASML (RSI 43.4, one-year +122.17%, +15.9% above its 200-day), and AMD (RSI 44.8, one-year +176.17%, +38.7% above its 200-day) are all cooling on the short window while remaining above their 200-days with strongly positive one-year returns — deep pullbacks, not breakdowns. TTD (RSI 36.9, one-year -75.49%, -47.3% below its 200-day), NKE (RSI 43.5, one-year -49.18%, -23.9% below its 200-day), LOW (RSI 41.3, one-year -19.22%, -12.2% below its 200-day, thesis: intact despite the broken chart), and ISRG (RSI 45.7, one-year -21.37%, -20.5% below its 200-day, also thesis: intact against a collapse chart) are the opposite case — genuinely broken trends, not cheap entries. INTU's explicit broken-thesis flag survived a ninth straight cycle, but the bounce itself finally cooled — 30D fell sharply to +7.48% from +29.01%, coinciding with a confirmed EPS beat reported August 25 ($4.03 actual vs. $3.59 consensus, +12.3%) — still a hard avoid regardless of the print. ORCL's recovery extended into a seventh confirming cycle, 30D climbing further to +28.12% from +16.39%.

Data as-of the 2026-08-28 close. Source: bargain-bin, filtered for RSI < 30 AND vs-SMA20 < 0, then widened to the next-closest cluster — ranked by long-horizon quality (1-year change, vs-SMA200, thesis state) crossed with discount depth (RSI, vs-SMA20). Prior scan: 2026-08-22-bargain-bin (2026-08-21 close).

No name clears the strict bargain-bin filter this cycle — the first zero-hit cycle in this tracked window. WMT ($103.09, RSI 33.2, vs-SMA20 -6.5%, 7D -0.58%, 30D -9.74%, -23.73% off its 52-week high) recovered off last cycle's strict-hit line. Its longer-horizon read stayed genuinely mixed: one-year return of +7.26% (was +5.86%) is thin and positive, but 1-year alpha is -12.61% (still badly lagging the market) and it sits -13.1% below its 200-day with a death cross on the books. This desk checked WMT's news receipt (fetched 2026-08-27, ok, not stale) — the pull shows a Q2 2027 earnings report (2026-08-20), a JPMorgan price-target cut on comp performance (2026-08-21), and an executive stock sale (2026-08-21); the post-earnings analyst downgrade is the sourced context for the continued weakness. Per the desk's long-horizon discipline, this stays a trend genuinely under test — not a "deep pullback in an intact trend" that would justify chasing the discount.

The closest-miss tier — names below their 20-day average without clearing the strict RSI<30 line — splits cleanly into two long-horizon camps this cycle. On the quality-dip side: KLAC ($175.54, RSI 35.9, vs-SMA20 -8.6%, one-year +96.35%, 1-year alpha +76.48%, +3.2% above its 200-day), CAT ($800.25, RSI 38.4, vs-SMA20 -4.6%, one-year +84%, 1-year alpha +64.13%, +4.3% above its 200-day), LRCX ($301.90, RSI 44.4, vs-SMA20 -4.3%, one-year +190.04%, 1-year alpha +170.17%, +17.3% above its 200-day), ASML ($1,696.16, RSI 43.4, vs-SMA20 -3.4%, one-year +122.17%, 1-year alpha +102.3%, +15.9% above its 200-day), AVGO ($368.79, RSI 42.7, vs-SMA20 -5.7%, one-year +20.36%, essentially flat at its 200-day at -0.2%, thesis: intact), and AMD ($465.57, RSI 44.8, vs-SMA20 -3.4%, one-year +176.17%, +38.7% above its 200-day) — all cooling on RSI/30D while their one-year and 200-day fields confirm the underlying trend hasn't broken. On the genuinely-broken side: TTD ($13.57, RSI 36.9, vs-SMA20 -6.6%, one-year -75.49%, 1-year alpha -95.36%, -47.3% below its 200-day, collapse regime, -75.94% off its 52-week high), NKE ($39.60, RSI 43.5, vs-SMA20 -2.7%, one-year -49.18%, 1-year alpha -69.05%, -23.9% below its 200-day, -49.96% off its 52-week high), HD ($330.19, RSI 42.4, vs-SMA20 -3.4%, one-year -18.96%, 1-year alpha -38.83%, -4.3% below its 200-day), and MCD ($265.00, RSI 44.2, vs-SMA20 -1.8%, one-year -15.12%, 1-year alpha -35.0%, -10.8% below its 200-day) — none of these are cheap in any sense that matters; they are underperforming the market on every long-horizon field. In between: WMT, HON ($217.43, RSI 37.7, vs-SMA20 -5.7%, one-year +4.26% but 1-year alpha -15.61%, -1.8% below its 200-day) and COST ($945.47, RSI 48.1, vs-SMA20 -0.6%, one-year +0.05%, -1.5% below its 200-day) sit near-flat on the 200-day with weak-to-negative alpha — marginal, not a clean read either way.

LOW and ISRG both carry an intact thesis flag while their charts show broken structures — a second name has joined this divergence this cycle. LOW ($208.05, RSI 41.3, vs-SMA20 -3.8%, one-year -19.22%, 1-year alpha -39.09%, -12.2% below its 200-day, pullback regime, thesis: intact) deteriorated from last cycle's -15.47%/-9.0% reading. ISRG ($372.60, RSI 45.7, one-year -21.37%, 1-year alpha -41.24%, -20.5% below its 200-day, collapse regime, thesis: intact) — both names' data-tagged thesis flag disagrees with every price-structure field. Flagged here as a divergence worth checking on the next fundamentals refresh, not resolved either way by this scan.

INTU carries the same explicit thesis: broken flag it has held across the last several scans, but the bounce itself finally cooled this cycle. ($358.06, RSI 60, -49.22% off its 52-week high, vs-SMA20 +4% — still above its 20-day average — 30D fell sharply to +7.48% from +29.01%.) This coincides with a confirmed EPS beat reported August 25 (2026-08-25-intu-earnings: $4.03 actual vs. $3.59 consensus, +12.3% surprise) — the print itself beat estimates, yet the multi-cycle bounce cooled rather than extending. Per desk doctrine, no earnings beat clears a broken-thesis flag — this stays an avoid regardless of the print or the chart.

ORCL's recovery extended into a seventh straight confirming cycle. ($150.85, RSI 56.1, was 52.7) and 30D climbed further to +28.12% from +16.39% — still -56.37% off its 52-week high and carrying a thesis: intact flag despite sitting -11.6% below its 200-day, but the multi-cycle momentum trend keeps extending.

SPGI recovered off the closest-miss list further this cycle, RSI climbing to 62.5 (was 56.7) — now solidly above its 20-day average. DE ($630.33, RSI 54.9, was 62.4) cooled from its own extension while staying +28.26% on the year and +12% above its 200-day.

This bucket screens for cheap, not for buyable. regime labels (collapse/downtrend/pullback/basing) describe the chart, not a recommendation — and a zero-strict-hit cycle does not mean nothing here is worth a look, because the closest-miss tier still carries a real quality split. Two names can carry the same RSI in the high-30s to mid-40s and mean completely different things: KLAC and CAT are cooling off one-year returns near or above 90%, still above their 200-days; TTD and NKE are cooling off one-year returns deeply negative, well below their 200-days. Per desk doctrine, the first group is a deep pullback inside an intact trend — the second is a name whose trend is genuinely broken, and no RSI reading makes it a value name. thesis: broken is a hard override: no price level and no earnings beat makes INTU attractive, nine cycles and a confirmed EPS beat in. LOW and ISRG's intact flags sitting against broken charts are flagged, not resolved — that discrepancy is a fundamentals-side question this scan can't answer with price data alone, and it is worth noting that a second name joined this divergence this cycle rather than the first one resolving.

None this cycle. WMT, the lone hit last cycle, recovered to RSI 33.2 — above the strict line.

(Remaining tracked names — MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, META, TSLA, TMO, DIS, ZS, CEG, PEP, CME, ANET, MRVL, NFLX, UBER — sit at RSI 42-81, mixed but not oversold; omitted from a bargain-bin screen by design.)

First zero-strict-hit cycle in this tracked window — WMT recovered off the line; its thin one-year gain against negative alpha and a below-200-day chart keeps it a trend under test, not a clean value call.

Quality dips — deep pullback, trend intact — KLAC, CAT, AVGO, ASML, LRCX, AMD are all cooling on the short window while remaining above their 200-days with strongly positive one-year returns.

Genuinely broken — not a discount — TTD, NKE, HD, MCD sit below their 200-days with negative 1-year alpha; no RSI reading here should be read as cheap.

Broken thesis — hard avoid — INTU. The explicit thesis: broken tag has now survived nine consecutive scans, and the bounce cooled even after a confirmed earnings beat.

Flag/chart divergence, now two names — LOW and ISRG both carry an intact thesis flag against broken charts; worth a fundamentals-side check on both.

Broadly extended, several cooling from overbought extremes — ORCL's recovery deepens into a seventh confirming cycle; SPGI recovered further off the closest-miss list.
