This report tracks the hyperscaler/chip/foundry basket in ai-infra.json (AMZN, NVDA, ASML, TAC, TSM, PLTR, MRVL, ARM, P, AIQ, SMH, SFTBY — 12 names), not the separate physical-buildout universe (ai-infrastructure.json). The board carries a Friday 2026-09-11 settled close. The clearest move: SFTBY's RSI jumped again, this time from 56.3 to 70.1 (+13.8), extending last cycle's trend flip further above its 200-day (11.1%→34.6%) — but no fresh news is on file to confirm a cause for either move. NVDA cooled the hardest in the basket (RSI 60.4→49.8, -10.6), and PLTR's cooldown continued for a second straight cycle, its 1-year change nearly erased (11.65%→1.75%).

LONG-HORIZON READ: a name whose short-window trend flag reads "down" but sits ABOVE its 200-day with a positive 1-year change is a deep pullback in an intact trend, never a breakdown. PLTR's continuing cooldown is exactly that pattern, though its cushion is thinning.


Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 A two-name outlier picture again this cycle — SFTBY extended its unexplained surge into overbought while NVDA cooled the hardest — with the rest of the chip/foundry side mixed
Universe note 12 names (AMZN, NVDA, ASML, TAC, TSM, PLTR, MRVL, ARM, P, AIQ, SMH, SFTBY) — same universe as last cycle, no additions or drops
Sharpest move SFTBY (SoftBank) — RSI 56.3→70.1 (+13.8), now the basket's only overbought name, extending further above its 200-day (11.1%→34.6%); the news on file (last dated 2026-09-09, describing an August close) does not explain this week's continued surge
Sharpest cooldown NVDA — RSI 60.4→49.8 (-10.6), its 200-day cushion nearly halved (17.1%→10.5%) even as its 1-year change stays solidly positive at +23.21%
Caveat No news receipt on file confirms a driver for SFTBY's move — reported without a sourced cause, same as last cycle

What's Going On

SFTBY posted the basket's largest move for a second straight cycle — RSI +13.8 (56.3→70.1), now the only genuinely overbought name in this basket, and its cushion above the 200-day widened further (11.1%→34.6%) on top of last cycle's trend flip. The news on file for this name was pulled 2026-09-09 but the dated items inside are stale relative to this move (the most recent describes an August 27 US-Japan AI/semiconductor investment initiative and an August 4 close) — nothing confirms what drove this week's continued surge, so it is reported without a sourced cause, same as last cycle. Note also that SoftBank's US listing here (SFTBY) is an unsponsored OTC American Depositary Receipt of a Japanese primary (9984.T) — research-only on this desk, never an entry-zone or buy candidate regardless of how the chart looks.

NVDA cooled the hardest in the basket this cycle — RSI 60.4→49.8 (-10.6) — with its 1-year change decelerating (34.20%→23.21%) and its 200-day cushion nearly halved (17.1%→10.5%), though both stay comfortably positive; this reads as a deep pullback inside an intact trend, not a breakdown. PLTR's cooldown continued for a second straight cycle — RSI -5.0 (54.2→49.2) — and its 1-year change is now nearly flat (11.65%→1.75%) with its 200-day cushion thinning further (15.2%→10.4%); PLTR's news on file still predates this stretch of weakness, so the specific driver remains unconfirmed. Elsewhere in the basket, ARM recovered (RSI +5.4 to 53.4, still 29.6% above its 200-day) and TAC firmed slightly (RSI +3.2 to 44.0) though it remains the one name in this basket with genuine long-horizon weakness — 7.6% below its 200-day with a flat-to-negative year (-4.51%). TSM, AIQ, MRVL, AMZN, ASML, P, and SMH all held roughly steady to modestly changed, none moving more than 3 RSI points in either direction.


What Changed Since the 2026-09-04 Scan

  1. SFTBY posted the basket's sharpest move for a second straight cycle: RSI 56.3→70.1 (+13.8), now the basket's only overbought name, vs SMA200 widened to +34.6% — still no sourced cause on file.

  4. ARM recovered: RSI +5.4 (48.0→53.4), still 29.6% above its 200-day.

  8. P cooled slightly: RSI -1.7 (53.1→51.4), 1-year change moderated to +19.06% (from +26.39%).
  9. ASML cooled slightly: RSI -1.5 (48.3→46.8), still comfortably above its 200-day.

  11. AMZN held roughly flat: RSI -0.6 (49.5→48.9), margin above its 200-day steady at +7.1%.

How To Read The Board

RSI < 25 = capitulation. RSI 25-40 = oversold (check trend, death-cross, and the long-horizon numbers before treating as a buy). RSI 40-70 = neutral-to-healthy. RSI > 70 = extended. "1Y%" and "vs SMA200" are the long-horizon check: a name below its 200-day with a weak or negative year is real weakness; a name above its 200-day with a strong year is a deep pullback even when its short-window RSI looks weak.

What To Watch Next

  • Whether SFTBY's now-two-cycle surge into overbought (RSI 70.1, +34.6% above its 200-day) finds a sourced catalyst or continues to run without one.
  • Whether NVDA's sharp cooldown (RSI -10.6, cushion nearly halved) stabilizes above its 200-day or the pullback deepens further.
  • Whether PLTR's second straight cooldown (1-year change now nearly flat) stalls out or the news catches up with an explanation.
  • Whether TAC's continued below-200-day, flat-to-negative-year profile deepens into a real breakdown or finds a floor.
  • Whether ARM's recovery (RSI +5.4) extends into the next cycle or fades.
