Macro caution with selective seasonal energy and software setups

EquityClock is running a macro and seasonality-heavy book of observations: cautious on broad equities into summer, constructive on oil ahead of driving season, and selectively positive on software/AMZN technical rebounds. The distinctive read is less single-name alpha and more base-rate/seasonal framing: weak consumer and housing prints, Fed and yield risks, and signs of upside exhaustion in tech. Late-week tone shifted more defensive on SPX/SPY/QQQ while oil and gold were framed as near the end of digestion or downside pressure.

Direction this week

Conviction faded on broad equities late in the window, with the weekend wrap moving SPX/SPY/QQQ into exhaustion and downside-risk framing. Oil conviction was more consistent and constructive, shifting from acknowledged near-term weakness to downside-exhaustion language ahead of peak driving season. There are no disclosed adds, trims, exits, or explicit position flips in the supplied signals.

Brad Kohn-style discrete pullback into 7340-7400 is a healthy reset for buy-the-dip continuation higher.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
