The cohort's twelve-name uptrend core finally broke — after three straight scans unchanged, this scan leaves only nine names clearing the long-trend test, as $AMGN and $UNH both crashed on the RSI while their trend numbers stayed mixed. $SYK deepened its breakdown for a second straight scan (RSI 34.1 to 27.8, now down 29.1% on the year) and $HROW reversed its prior improvement outright (RSI 46.4 to 33.2, year-over-year return back to -12.6% after briefly flipping positive). $AMGN's 13.7-point weekly decline has no established cause in this scan's checked sources. $ZTS remains the cut's deepest structural breakdown, essentially unchanged.

Data as-of the 2026-09-11 close (Friday's settled session) — every name in this cut carries a fresh bar this scan.

Source: healthcare.json (the broader universe, not the narrower healthcare-scan.json cut — consistent with the prior scan). Prior scan: 2026-09-04-healthcare-scan.

$SYK is this scan's deepest breakdown, extending a second straight scan of deterioration: RSI fell from 34.1 to 27.8 on a 9.1% weekly decline, with its year-over-year return worsening further to -29.1% (from -23.1%) and its price now 18.2% below its 200-day. News for $SYK was pulled fresh on 2026-09-11 and returned only routine investor-relations and earnings-recap coverage — nothing that explains this week's continued slide — and no matching stock-event was found. This is a genuine, deepening breakdown with no established driver.

$AMGN is the scan's most consequential single-name move: RSI collapsed from 62.5 to 31.5, a 31-point drop, on a 13.7% weekly decline. Its long-trend numbers haven't broken, though — still up 33.5% over the year and 5.0% above its 200-day with a positive alpha of 17.3 — so this reads as a sharp pullback inside an otherwise intact trend rather than a breakdown. News pulled 2026-09-09 showed only routine quote-page and earnings-recap coverage, and no matching stock-event was found for this window; the cause of this week's decline is not established in this scan's sources.

$HROW reversed the improvement flagged last scan: its year-over-year return, which had flipped positive to +6.5% last scan, is back negative at -12.6%, and its RSI fell from 46.4 to 33.2 on a 5.7% single-day decline. Combined with a price still 16.4% below its 200-day, this looks like the "recovering, still below the 200-day" read from last scan reverting to a genuine breakdown rather than confirming a turn.

$UNH also cooled sharply (RSI 46.8 to 35.5) on a 4.5% weekly decline, though its long-trend numbers held (+7.2% 1Y, +7.4% vs its 200-day) — a deep pullback, not a breakdown, but a notable crack in a name that had been "firming" last scan. $ABT continued its multi-scan decline: RSI fell further to 33.6 (from 47.3), with its year-over-year return worsening again to -23.1% (from -18.4%) — the same "RSI still falling, trend still deteriorating" pattern flagged last scan, now in its third consecutive scan.

$ZTS remains essentially unchanged at the cut's clearest structural breakdown: down 51.6% over the past year, 28.6% below its 200-day, alpha of -67.8. $ISRG holds at a similar level to last scan (-19.0% 1Y, -19.7% vs its 200-day). The names still clearing the long-trend test cleanly this scan are $LLY, $JNJ, $GH, $GILD, $VRTX, $XLV, $MRK, $BIIB, $TMO — nine names, down from twelve, as $DXCM, $PFE, and $AMGN all now show enough RSI or trend deterioration to move out of the "unambiguously clean" bucket this scan even where $AMGN and $DXCM still technically pass the 1-year/200-day check.

• $SYK deepened its breakdown for a second straight scan. RSI 34.1 → 27.8 (-6.3), price down 9.1% for the week — year-over-year return worsened to -29.1% (from -23.1%). Fresh news pulled 2026-09-11, no cause found; no matching stock-event.
• $AMGN crashed from a clean long-trend read. RSI 62.5 → 31.5 (-31.0), price down 13.7% for the week — still +33.5% 1Y and +5.0% vs its 200-day, so a pullback rather than a breakdown. No cause established in checked news/events.
• $HROW reversed its prior improvement. RSI 46.4 → 33.2 (-13.2), year-over-year return flipped back negative (-12.6%, from +6.5% last scan) — the "recovering" read from last scan did not hold.
• $UNH cooled sharply. RSI 46.8 → 35.5 (-11.3), still +7.2% 1Y and above its 200-day — a deep pullback, not yet a breakdown.
• $ABT continued deteriorating for a third straight scan. RSI 47.3 → 33.6 (-13.7), year-over-year return worsened again to -23.1% (from -18.4%).
• The uptrend core shrank from twelve names to nine. $DXCM and $PFE both show new cracks this scan even though they still pass the 1-year/200-day test on paper.
• $ZTS remains essentially unchanged at the cut's deepest breakdown — -50.5% → -51.6% on the year.
• $ISRG holds roughly steady — -19.3% → -19.0% on the year, -20.9% → -19.7% vs its 200-day.
• No stale bars this scan — every name carries a fresh 2026-09-11 close.
• Universe unchanged. Same 22 tickers as the prior scan.

RSI measures how stretched a stock is over the past 14 sessions — under 30 signals oversold, over 70 signals overbought/extended. vs SMA20 is the price gap to the 20-day average. 1Y% and vs SMA200 are the two numbers that separate a genuine breakdown from a pullback: $AMGN and $UNH both crashed on the RSI this scan but remain above their 200-day with positive years — deep pullbacks, not breakdowns. $SYK, $ZTS, $ISRG, $ABT, and $HROW are below their 200-day with a negative year, and the long-trend numbers on most of them got worse this scan even where the RSI didn't fully collapse — genuine deterioration. $VEEV is the trickiest name again: barely positive on the year with a negative alpha despite clearing its 200-day by a wide margin — don't let a mid-range RSI read as the trend catching up.

None.

$SYK (27.8), $AMGN (31.5), $HROW (33.2), $ABT (33.6), $LLY (35.4), $UNH (35.5) — six names, up from one last scan. $LLY and $UNH are the exceptions: both still clear the long-trend test (positive 1Y, above 200-day), a sharp pullback rather than a breakdown. $SYK, $AMGN (trend intact despite the crash), $HROW, and $ABT split the rest — $AMGN alone among the sub-40 group still passes the 1-year/200-day check cleanly.

• Genuine breakdown, deteriorating (below or barely above 200-day, negative 1-year): $ISRG, $ZTS — $ZTS is the deepest of the group by a wide margin, essentially unchanged from the prior scan.
• Flat 1-year despite mid-range RSI: $MDT — technically above its 200-day but flat on the year with weak alpha.
• Overbought-adjacent but long-trend weak: $VEEV — still barely negative on the year with negative alpha despite clearing its 200-day comfortably.
• Extreme, high-variance move: $MRNA — up 467.0% over the year, a distinct situation from the rest of the cut.
• Genuinely healthy uptrend: $XLV, $CVS, $VRTX, $GH, $JNJ, $MRK, $GILD, $BIIB, $TMO — nine names, above their 200-day with a strongly positive year.
• Deep pullback, intact but newly cracked: $DXCM, $PFE — still pass the 1-year/200-day test but showed fresh weakness this scan.

• $AMGN's 31-point RSI collapse has no established cause in checked news or stock-events — does a driver surface, or does this stay an unexplained sharp pullback inside an otherwise intact trend?
• $SYK deepened for a second straight scan with no cause found in fresh (2026-09-11) news — does it stabilize, or does this become the next multi-scan relapse pattern like $ISRG's?
• $HROW's brief improvement last scan fully reversed this scan — was last scan's positive read a false signal, or is this a normal two-way test before a real recovery?
• The uptrend core shrank from twelve names to nine this scan — is this a one-week reset across the cohort, or the start of a broader healthcare pullback?
