Wall Street Radar Vol. 27: Stocks to Watch

U.S. equities declined Friday as investors digested a wave of market-moving developments tied to trade policy and inflation dynamics.

Major benchmarks retreated during the session following reports that former President Donald Trump proposed implementing reciprocal tariffs on key trading partners. Earlier losses were triggered by economic data revealing a jump in consumers' near-term inflation expectations, which overshadowed a softer job market reading. Analysts noted the mixed signals could reinforce the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on rate adjustments.

Market participants are bracing for another week of heightened volatility, warranting a disciplined approach to portfolio management. Our strategy remained selective this week, with just one new position added, reflecting the challenging tape conditions. While opportunities such as BBAI were identified on our radar, execution proved difficult amid erratic price action. The current environment continues to favor high-conviction, fundamentally driven trades, as indiscriminate momentum plays struggle to sustain traction. Risk management remains paramount until clearer trends emerge.

T2118

The T2108 market breadth indicator has formed a concerning double-top pattern at 70.92, surpassing the critical 70 threshold that has historically marked short-term exhaustion in equity rallies.

Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has climbed to 16.54 while carving a pattern of higher lows since January—a stealthy buildup of risk aversion that contrasts with the S&P 500's sideways grind. This divergence implies that options traders are increasingly hedging against geopolitical shocks, particularly with former President Trump's aggressive tariff policies.

The VIX's persistent bid since its 12.45 January trough now positions it to test the psychologically significant 20 level if trade war rhetoric intensifies or growth data disappoints.

T2108

The T2108 market breadth indicator has entered a consolidation phase above the 40.00 support level, currently at 46.88, after forming a triple-top pattern. While the indicator remains far from overbought territory (below the critical 70 threshold), this repeated failure to sustain upward momentum suggests bullish fatigue—particularly when analyzed alongside the T2118's double-top formation at elevated levels. The current test of the 10-day exponential moving average (10EMA) raises mean-reversion risks, as breakdowns below this dynamic support have historically preceded 2-3% index retracements during similar technical setups.

Market internals reveal a split personality:

• The 4% Bull-Bear Indicator has become noise, oscillating without clear directional bias

• The 25% Bull-Bear Indicator has rolled over from positive to negative territory
