Technical Alerts
- Overbought Stocks: BETAGLAS, SKYAVN (RSI >99) → Potential pullback ahead.

- Contrarian Picks: VFDGROUP (oversold), VSPBONDETF (high-risk rebound).
⚠ Risks:
- Overbought stocks (BETAGLAS, SKYAVN) may correct sharply.
- Weak sectors: Real estate (UPDCREIT), bonds (VSPBONDETF).
What’s Next?
