The week's recovery carried almost everything past its institutional entry threshold. DISTRIBUTION +1/9 persists with equities running alone — bonds and risk assets still off, Stress Recovery correlation holding at 0.70–0.84. SOL has a COILED Spring loading at 75% with 85% institutional convergence but is sitting just outside the entry gate at +0.35% above VWAP. BTC has built near-maximum volatility compression at 99% in 35 bars — but at +6.88% deviation, it remains untradeable until it resets. Editas Medicine (EDIT) carries the only active S2 signal with Dev Filter PASS in today's scanner. ORCL is building a bearish compression setup at 92% — the most interesting watch on the short side. TRMB's SD2L extreme mean-reversion signal is firing now. Nothing changed about the regime this week: equities are running on structural momentum alone, and the framework is waiting for price to come back to it.
DISTRIBUTION — equities running alone with bonds and risk assets both off — holds at Composite +1/9 as the regime transitions → Stable heading into the weekend. The market has clawed back most of the May 6–15 selloff: SP500 is back at 7,465, NAS100 at 29,438, Russell at 2,845. The recovery is real, but it has carried almost everything past its entry threshold — the scanner is dominated by Dev Filter FAIL (deviation from the anchored institutional volume-weighted price — FAIL means too extended for a clean new entry). The one instrument with an active signal and Dev Filter PASS is Editas Medicine (EDIT) at S2 tier. The highest-priority pending setup is Solana — COILED Spring (near-maximum volatility compression) loading at 75%, institutional convergence active at 85%, Conf 6 (institutional confidence confirmed across two timeframes), but sitting at +0.35% above its VWAP anchor, just outside the entry gate. Bitcoin's volatility compression has reached 99% in 35 bars — the tightest reading in the scanner — while sitting +6.88% above its institutional anchor, making it untradeable until it resets. The Stress Recovery correlation (0.70–0.84 bond-equity correlation) is the regime's central constraint: it is what keeps Layer 1 and Layer 3 off, and it is the number that matters most for the week ahead. Watch $86.90 on SOL — that is where the COILED Spring entry gate sits.
The standout pending setup this session. SOL carries a COILED Spring (near-maximum volatility compression — larger move when it releases) designation with three VWAP anchors actively converging at 85% strength. Conf 6 (2F) is the strongest multi-timeframe reading among the bullish setups today. The 87% WR on 16 signals (15 completed) is a clean track. An S3 [10] signal fired recently, and the compression that preceded it has partially released — now it is re-loading at 75%. The COILED SPRING label reflects the framework's highest-priority compression state.
The one issue: Dev Filter FAIL at +0.35%. Price is 34 cents above the VWAP anchor and just outside the entry gate. Yesterday's session saw SOL at Dev Filter PASS at +0.02% — the gate was open. The 34-cent gap is the entire distance between a live entry and a watch. When price compresses back to approximately $86.90 (VWAP anchor) and the Dev Filter flips PASS, the full convergence + compression setup fires. Watch, but wait for the gate to flip.
EDIT is the only instrument in today's scanner with both an active signal and a Dev Filter PASS. The S2 signal is active — confirmed across three independent timeframes (Conf 3 (3F)), which is meaningful for a high-volatility small-cap biotech. The BULL swing has held for 500 bars. Dev Filter PASS at the High Volatility (strict) tier means price is within the acceptable entry range. The +3% threshold confirmation adds one additional factor to the confluence score.
Context that matters: a 67% WR (6/7) track on 7 signals is thin — there is not enough history here to have high statistical confidence. EDIT is a speculative gene-editing biotech at $2.67, operating under DISTRIBUTION with Macro Bonus −1. The framework identifies this as a valid S2 signal, but the risk profile is higher than the indices or SOL. Size accordingly — this is a small-cap speculative position, not a regime-aligned large-cap entry. SD2L approaching (1–2 bars out, set 3) adds a potential near-term upside catalyst if it fires. Bias intact unless $2.50 breaks.
Bitcoin has built the most compressed setup in today's scanner — 99% volatility compression in 35 bars, near-maximum by any definition. The 86% WR (14/14) perfect track and 499-bar BULL swing are both exceptional. The BULL 499-bar swing age means this structure has been intact for the better part of a year. All the signal ingredients are present. The one disqualifying factor: +6.88% VWAP deviation (deviation from the anchored institutional volume-weighted price). The framework's entry gate closes well before 6.88%. The VWAP anchor sits at approximately $72,200. At this level, entering a new long would mean buying after an institutional instrument has moved 7% past its cost-basis reference — the risk/reward is no longer clean.
The COILED compression is genuine and will release. When BTC resets to the $73,000–$74,500 zone (1.0–3.0% deviation from the anchor), the framework will have a high-conviction long with maximum compression still loaded. The Stress Recovery correlation at 0.84 is the highest in the scanner — BTC is the instrument where this macro signal is most concentrated. Fresh capital should wait for reset. Do not chase.
LHX is the defense sector's standout compression setup. COILED [30] 90% is very high volatility compression — the framework approaches its COILED designation threshold, meaning a breakout in either direction is increasingly imminent. The chart shows a clean recovery from the May selloff lows near $296, with multiple S2 signals firing on the way up (S2 [3], S2 [6], S2 [2]). Conf 5 (1F) is solid, and the BULL swing has held 502 bars without breaking. The 6/6 clean completed signal track (no losses) is noteworthy for a defense equity.
Dev Filter FAIL at +0.74% means the entry gate is closed. For Mid Range (+5pp) with suggested dev 2.0–3.0%, LHX needs price either to pull back to VWAP (~$303.99) for a retracement entry, or for the compression to release directionally above ~$312 (2.0% above VWAP). The Diverged 0% convergence status means the three VWAP anchors are not yet overlapping — no convergence catalyst today. Watch for compression release above $312 or a retracement entry near $304. Bias remains intact unless $296 breaks.
Oracle is the most interesting bearish setup in today's scanner. Conf 6 (3F) — institutional confidence confirmed across three independent timeframes — is the highest bearish reading in today's session. Building [25] 92% means compression is loading toward the COILED threshold. The 349-bar BEAR swing has not broken despite the equity market recovery of the last three sessions. Multiple STRONG DIV (institutional distribution divergence signal) labels have fired over the past two months. A recent S3 [9] delivered a clean signal from the top.
The short entry gate for ORCL (High Volatility strict, suggested dev 3.0–4.0%) opens when price falls to approximately −3% to −4% below the VWAP anchor (~$191.47), which would put the gate at roughly $183–$185. Current price at −0.94% is close to VWAP — the framework needs the price to move further from anchor before the Dev Filter opens for the short. Convergence at 66% diverged suggests the VWAP anchors are separated, not clustered at a supply zone yet. Short setup is building but not live. Watch for compression to cross to COILED and convergence to tighten. Bias bearish unless $196 breaks.
The S&P 500 holds the strongest WR track of any index in today's scanner at 84% (19/20) — one missed signal in 20 attempts. The AVWAP signal (institutional VWAP return — price returned to the anchored VWAP and reclaimed it with volume) visible on the chart is the type of signal that makes this index the primary framework entry vehicle. The recovery from the mid-May lows has been clean. VWAP anchor sits at approximately ~$7,391. The chart shows price holding above both the prior day low (PDL) and the institutional VWAP after the recovery.
Dev Filter FAIL at +0.77–0.95% means the framework's entry gate for the Equity Daily tier (1.0–2.0% deviation required) is not yet open — price needs to either pull back slightly toward $7,391 or continue higher to ~$7,465 (1.0% above VWAP) to satisfy the gate. Expanded 44% shows the volatility compression has partially released but has not re-compressed. Fresh capital should wait for deviation to compress back to the entry zone or for a setup to form at the VWAP anchor. Valid hold for existing positions. Bias intact unless $7,380 breaks.
NAS100 is approaching its pre-selloff highs — 29,515 in pre-market puts it within about 100 points of the May 14 peak near 29,620. Conf 4 (2F) is solid two-timeframe confirmation. The 56% WR is the weakest of the four major indices but the 2F confirmation adds quality. Dev Filter FAIL at +1.16–1.43% — the Equity Daily tier entry zone starts at +1.0%, so NAS100 is right at the boundary. The framework may open the gate at the lower end of deviation, but the terminal shows FAIL at this reading. Entry zone: if price pulls back toward 29,100–29,200 (approximately 1.0–1.5% above the VWAP anchor at ~$28,770), the gate may flip PASS. Fresh capital should wait for that consolidation. Bias intact unless 29,000 breaks.
Russell 2000 has the strongest WR track of any index in today's scanner — 86% win rate, 7 of 7 completed signals with no losses, 22-bar average hold. The recovery from 2,725 lows to 2,850 is a 4.6% move — the largest index recovery this week. Two ABS (institutional absorption) signals fired on the way down and up. The VWAP anchor sits at approximately $2,723 — the index has moved 4.08–4.29% above it in the recovery. This is the most extended major index in the scanner. Dev Filter FAIL by a significant margin. Entry zone on any meaningful pullback: ~$2,750–$2,775 (1.0–2.0% above the VWAP anchor). Fresh capital should wait for reset. Do not chase the move. Bias intact unless $2,780 breaks.
TRMB is the most unusual signal in today's session. The SD2L Extreme (an oversold snapback signal — price pushed far below its lower deviation band and is now showing signs of mean reversion) is FIRING NOW — the signal is active in the current session. Conf 3 (3F) across three timeframes and a 100% WR track (12/12 completed signals with no losses, 6-bar average hold) make this one of the cleaner signal tracks in the scanner by historical performance. The chart shows multiple STRONG DIV labels (institutional distribution divergence) in March–April followed by a sharp drop from ~$67 to ~$55, with SD2L EXTREME [3] now firing at the lows.
The major constraint: VWAP deviation at −22.07%. TRMB is 22% below its institutional VWAP anchor — this is a structural breakdown, not a temporary pullback. The SD2L signal is a short-term mean-reversion setup within a bearish trend, not a trend reversal signal. In the context of a 397-bar BEAR swing and −22.07% deviation, the SD2L snapback would target a relief rally, not a recovery to VWAP. The 6-bar average hold (roughly 24 hours on 4H timeframe) is consistent with a momentum snap rather than a sustained long. If trading the SD2L signal: very small position, short hold, exit within 2–3 sessions. Do not confuse this with a long-term bullish reversal.
ABNB holds a clean WR track (86%, 14/16) and Conf 4 (3F) three-frame confirmation — the VWAP anchor sits at approximately $129.93, and price at +3.28% has pushed just above the Mid Range entry zone ceiling. The recovery from the mid-May selloff lows near $126 has been consistent. The STRONG DIV signals from April-May showed institutional accumulation at lower levels. Dev Filter FAIL at +3.28% means the top of the entry zone has been exceeded by a small margin. A brief consolidation or pullback to ~$132.50–$133.80 (2.0–3.0% above VWAP) would flip the filter PASS and open the entry gate. Bias intact unless $128 breaks. Valid hold for any existing positions. Fresh capital should wait for reset.
TSLA is carrying a +7.1% VWAP deviation — the second most extended equity in today's scanner after BTC. The 80% WR track is strong historically but Conf 0 (1F) means the framework sees minimal institutional confirmation at current price levels. The S2 signals from April (S2 [3], S2 [5]) have delivered — price has run from ~$370 to $417. Too extended to chase. VWAP anchor sits at approximately $389. Entry zone on any meaningful reset: ~$400–$408 (3.0–4.0% above VWAP for High Vol strict). SD2L approaching (1–2 bars out) may provide a near-term read, but with DISTRIBUTION regime and Conf 0, this is observation only. Fresh capital should wait for reset or re-compression toward VWAP. Do not chase.
DISTRIBUTION — equities running alone, bonds and risk both structurally off — holds at +1/9 with the regime → Stable. The week's recovery is real: every major index has reclaimed the ground lost during the May 6–15 selloff. But the regime has not upgraded. That distinction matters. A price recovery without a regime upgrade means the underlying conditions that created the selloff have not resolved. Bonds are still bearish. Bitcoin is still too far from its VWAP anchor to qualify for the risk layer. The bond-equity correlation is still running 0.70–0.84 — deep inside Stress Recovery territory. The VIX at 17 is the one constructive input, contributing the +1 VIX bonus that lifts Composite from 0/9 to +1/9. The regime is holding, not strengthening.
The scanner's setup landscape coming into the weekend is dominated by one theme: extended price, loaded compression. SOL has a COILED Spring at 75% with 85% institutional convergence — the most complete pending setup in the session — sitting 34 cents outside its entry gate. BTC has near-maximum compression at 99% in 35 bars while running 6.88% above its anchor. LHX has 90% compression loading in 30 bars. These are not broken setups. They are setups waiting for price to come back to the framework. The compression is loaded. The question is timing: do they release before or after price resets to the institutional anchor?
| Factor | SOL (Primary Watch) | EDIT (Only Live Signal) | ORCL (Bearish Watch) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conf | 6 (2F) | 3 (3F) | 6 (3F) — Highest Bearish |
| WR (500) | 87% (15/16) | 67% (6/7) | 54% (13/15) |
| Compression | COILED 75% · Conv 85% | Expanded 17% | Building 92% |
| Dev Filter | FAIL +0.35% (gate at VWAP) | PASS — live entry | FAIL −0.94% (gate at −3%) |
| Trigger | Price to ~$86.90 → PASS | S2 active now | Price to ~$183–$185 |
| Invalidation | Below $84.00 | Below $2.50 | Above $196 |
The two cleanest entries available heading into the weekend: EDIT is the only live signal — Dev Filter PASS with S2 active — but it carries the limitations of a speculative small-cap in a DISTRIBUTION regime. SOL is 34 cents away from the highest-quality pending setup in the scanner — COILED Spring with 85% convergence and 87% WR. The priority framework instruction going into next week is simple: wait for SOL's entry gate to flip PASS, watch BTC's compression for the reset that opens Layer 3 activation, and monitor ORCL's Building 92% for the transition to COILED that would open the bearish gate. Nothing in today's session suggests the regime is about to upgrade. Nothing suggests it is about to break down either. DISTRIBUTION → Stable is the read. Execute where the framework gives the gate. Wait where it doesn't.
