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.
