2. Add Sector Leaders

VRTS (Financials) → smaller size into earnings
3. Exit Energy Immediately
15 HSR signals = no ambiguity
→ This is not a pullback — it’s exhaustion
4. Reduce Late-Cycle Winners
MTZ, CAVA, FCFS, Utilities exposure
Final Read: This Is Expansion — Not Early Recovery ⚡
Breadth expanding
Momentum accelerating
Resistance broken
Signals aligned
👉 The playbook is clear:
Scale into strength. Concentrate into high-EV signals. Exit exhaustion without hesitation.
