Momentum Turn Watch
Weekly Bullish MACD Divergence
Price made a lower low ($87.01→$82.88) while MACD made a higher low (-2.51→-2.41). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

Price bars, sourced event fields, and benchmark math only. This can adjust displayed short-term conviction; it does not change the stored scanner score or readiness.
- QQQ, SMH moved against the stock — no index confirmation.
- A sourced earnings report is still pending inside the risk window; ordinary technical conviction is reduced until it is out.
