Signal Standouts

Universe of 4,342 names shows 36.9% bullish (37 strong buy, 1,565 buy) against just 495 bearish (6 strong sell, 489 sell), with 2,245 neutral — a constructive but not euphoric tape. Breadth broadened +10.3 points vs yesterday, meaning risk-on participation is widening beyond narrow leadership. Strong buys cluster in crypto-adjacent names (IREN, HUT, RIOT, CLSK, BTDR) and semis (SMTC, VICR), confirming the tech-lean leadership.
