| Ticker | Close | Change | Score | Direction | One-line take |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 HXLUS | $102.98 | -1.29% | 5 | Neutral | Down 1.29% through the structural support near the 50-day at $99.00 with RSI(7) weakening to 41.2, and it sits in the same aerospace supply chain as HONA and BA where the casting-shortage spillover isn't priced. Closing the position until that variable clears. |
 WTTRUS | $20.7 | -7.01% | 5 | Neutral | Down 7.01% in a sharp give-back; RSI is 57.0 but a 77.4x multiple against EPS down 17.0% and revenue down 2.0% cannot support the valuation. Closing the position. |
