Momentum Up

PANW Delta Tilt and Gamma Exposure

Palo Alto Networks ($PANW) demonstrated significant resilience yesterday, holding its ground firmly during a broad market downturn and bearish sentiment. This strong performance, alongside other cybersecurity stocks that also held up, suggests a potential "shielding" effect for the sector from prevailing headline risks.

The ability of cybersecurity names to weather a weak tape indicates sustained demand for their services, likely driven by the critical and non-discretionary nature of cybersecurity spending for businesses. This sectoral strength reinforces our view that $PANW, and potentially other names in the cybersecurity space, warrant close monitoring for continued outperformance in volatile market conditions.

Delta Tilt: $200 support, $210 Bullish Targets

Momentum Shift Up

HUM Delta Tilt and Gamma Exposure

Humana ($HUM) demonstrated commendable resilience yesterday, maintaining its price levels during a challenging and broadly bearish market. As is often observed, defensive names tend to attract bids during periods of market weakness.

However, beyond its defensive characteristics, $HUM presents an interesting technical picture on the daily chart. We are observing signs that the stock may be emerging from a prolonged downtrend, indicating a potential shift in its trajectory. This could lead to a period of basing, where the stock consolidates and establishes a new foundation before a possible sustained upward move.

Given these developments, $HUM is certainly a name to keep a close eye on for potential opportunities. Humana is also a new name on our momentum star bullish list today.
