Reason: Security and data software gave back the whole run: $OKTA (down 19.33%), $CRWD (17.32%), $DDOG (15.74%) and $ZS (11.27%) all fell, each by 5.9% to 10.2% on Friday alone, yet the first three stay 29.0% to 58.0% above their 200-days on years of +63.46% to +113.5%: pullbacks in intact trends. $ZS is 25.1% above its 200-day but still down 30.7% on the year. $INTU rose 7.4% and remains 13.4% under its 200-day on a −49.74% year: broken. Bloomberg tied the week to AI worries pressuring chipmakers (October 16); no source on file ties the software moves to a name-level cause.

Price/RSI Table

As of 2026-10-16. Status reads the 200-day trend first and RSI second; Action is a trend-hold lens: a pullback inside an intact trend is a flag to wait for, not an entry, and a name below its 200-day with a negative year is not a dip.

What Changed Since 2026-10-09

• OKTA: down 19.33% on the week (10.2% on Friday on 2.07 times normal volume), RSI from 76.5 to 41.5. Its cushion over the 200-day ($118.52) fell from 101.1% to 58.0%. Parabolic a week ago, it is now a deep pullback; its news was last pulled October 9, so news was not pulled for this move.
• CRWD: down 17.32% (7.02% on Friday) to RSI 39.0, 41.6% above its 200-day ($160.56) on a +88.61% year; 20.77% under its high. News last pulled October 9; Form 4 filings dated October 13 and 15 are on file, unread.
• DDOG: down 15.74% (7.19% on Friday) to RSI 41.8, from 0.25% under its high to 17.82% under it; 29.0% above its 200-day ($191.61) on a +63.46% year. News last pulled October 9.
• ZS: down 11.27% (5.92% on Friday) to RSI 51.4, giving back part of last week's 18.89% run; 25.1% above its 200-day ($165.83) but still −30.7% on the year with alpha −46.23 points, so the repair is not an intact trend. It scores 4 of 5 on the desk's reversal checks (lazarus scan, October 16). News pulled October 16 holds investor-day coverage and analyst notes without a date tied to this week's drop; a Form 4 filing dated October 13 is on file, unread.
• INTU: up 7.4% on the week to RSI 60.9 while the group fell, including 6.36% on Thursday, with the thesis still flagged broken. It is 13.4% under its 200-day ($375.40), 52.82% under its high, on a −49.74% year. Intuit announced a deal to acquire Sequence on October 15 (company investor page); the October 15 market brief found no report tying the day's gain to it, and Friday's 1.52% decline has no cause on file.
• Group read: the cybersecurity scan had all 11 names down on the week and on Friday, and the four cloud-software funds each fell between 4.8% and 4.93% on Friday alone and closed back under the base highs they had cleared on October 9 (cloud ETF scan, October 16). Roster unchanged since October 9.

Watch

The setup is a flag above the 200-day after the drop: OKTA $118.52, CRWD $160.56, DDOG $191.61 and ZS $165.83 are the lines, with 25% to 58% of cushion on each. INTU needs its 200-day ($375.40) back before it is more than a bounce. None of the five has a dated catalyst on file.
