How To Use This Week
Actionable long candidates: ETFs with high Health, positive 20D Health change, strong trend breadth, and broad internal leadership.
Overheat candidates: ETFs with very high 52-week high proximity but slowing Health ROC. These can stay strong, but risk/reward may be less clean.
Repair candidates: ETFs with weak absolute Health but improving 20D Health and falling drawdown breadth. These are early-turn watchlist names.
Risk candidates: ETFs with falling Health, weak trend breadth, and high drawdown breadth. These are where rallies need extra confirmation.
