Today's pick · Highly Shorted Deep Rotation RSI & ConfEPAMBUY NOW8.6 / 107/17/2026

EPAM is the cleanest multi-timeframe setup in this pool with valuation to match. Every single forecast horizon across every timeframe is positive: 1h fc_short +29.4% / mid +29.5% / long +19.7%, 4h +18.3/+30.9/+88.5%, 1d +30.3/+70.6/+70.6%, 1wk +14.1/+19.0/+30.9%. That is genuine multi-timeframe agreement — not one bar carrying the signal. Near_term_bullish is 1.0 and bullish_prob is 1.0, so the near-term and structural probabilities line up. Crucially, EPAM is NOT extended. Position in 21-bar range: 1h 37%, 4h 68%, 1d 82%, 1wk only 15%. The weekly is still deep in a drawdown (-38.1% recent 21-bar, -40.2% from high), meaning we're buying into a beaten-down mean-reversion trade with hourly rotation just turning up — that's the ideal 'deep rotation + RSI confirmation' profile the screen was built for. Fundamentals are the best of the bullish-tape group: PE 12.58, fwdPe 6.17, PEG 0.59, debt/equity 0.08, ROE 10.93, salesYoY +14.2%, profitMargin 6.96%, recom 1.86 (moderate buy), targetUpsidePct +55.1%. Short float 22.38% adds squeeze fuel. Contrast this with PEGA (positive tape but SeekingAlpha downgrade citing 'shakier future ahead'), MNDY (great tape but fwdPe 14.69 / PEG 1.27 and pos_in_range 60/75 on higher TFs), or WHR (huge weekly forecast but a downgrade explicitly citing recession risk). Recent news is a mild negative — Wells Fargo cut PT to $125 while maintaining Overweight, and the stock traded down on July 10 — but no guidance cut, no legal issue, no dilution. That headline pressure is what created the entry: forecast tape says the rebound is coming, hourly pos_in_range 37% says we're not chasing.

Entry zone

$85.50–$88.00 (current $87.23); scale in, add on any dip to $85 which is near 4h drawdown floor

Stop loss

$81.50 (below -2.59% 1d drawdown extension and the recent hourly base)

First target

$100 (roughly the 1d/4h forecast mid horizons imply +14-18% move)

Longer target

$118–$125 (aligns with WF PT $125 and 1wk fc_long +30.9%)

Risks

Sector wobble in IT services — DXC and IBM both got hit on July 14 with AI-shift-in-enterprise-spend warnings; EPAM is exposed to the same narrative
Wells Fargo cut PT to $125 on July 10; further analyst PT cuts before Q2 print could cap the bounce
Weekly recent_21bar_pct still -38.1% — trend is not confirmed on the long timeframe yet, so failure risk if broader tape rolls over
Short float 22.38% cuts both ways — helps on a squeeze, but a break of $82 could trigger fresh shorting momentum
Ukraine/Eastern Europe delivery exposure remains a structural overhang on multiple compression

Honorable mentions

MNDYBest forecast magnitude in the set — 1wk fc_mid +98.7% / fc_long +145.7% with near_term_bullish 1.0. Lower TF pullback (1h pos 22%, 4h pos 11%) creates a clean entry. Held back to #2 by richer valuation (fwdPe 14.69, PEG 1.27) and softer fundamental score 6.5 vs EPAM cheaper on every metric.

TMDX4h/1d forecasts are enormous (1d +35.5/+56.2/+62.4%) with weekly deep-drawdown -47.7% offering asymmetric mean-reversion. ROE 45.2, profitMargin 27%, salesYoY +30.2%. Held back by weak 1h/1wk near-term forecasts and Evercore PT cut to $90 — better as a pullback add rather than immediate full-size entry.

Full ranking (30)

#	Symbol	Verdict	Score	Read
1	EPAM	BUY NOW	8.6	All-timeframe positive forecasts, cheapest valuation (fwdPe 6.17), weekly pos-in-range 15% — buying deep rotation with tape confirmation.
2	MNDY	BUY NOW	7.9	Weekly fc_long +145.7% with near_term_bullish 1.0 and a fresh 1h/4h pullback (pos 22%/11%) for entry.
3	TMDX	BUY PULLBACK	7.3	1d fc +35/56/62% and weekly -47.7% drawdown = mean-reversion setup, but 1h forecast is negative — wait for the hourly to flip.
4	IT	BUY PULLBACK	7.0	Massive 1wk fc +102/+136% with PE 14.12 and ROE 94.87, but daily pos 93% means don't chase — wait for a dip.
5	PEGA	BUY PULLBACK	6.7	Strong fundamentals (PEG 0.6, ROE 51.7, recom 1.27) and 1d fc +49.6%, but SeekingAlpha downgrade on transition risk demands patience.
6	BL	BUY PULLBACK	6.4	1wk fc_mid +50.2% / long +58.7%, weekly pos 28% offers room, but daily already at 100% of range.
7	UPWK	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	1d fc +32/+62/+42% and weekly deep-drawdown -29.6%, offset by recent 'Signs of Disruption' downgrade and interim CFO shuffle.
8	NCNO	BUY PULLBACK	6.0	Positive 'cracks Rule of 40' catalyst, but daily and weekly both pinned near 100% pos-in-range — wait for a pullback.
9	DXC	BUY PULLBACK	5.8	Huge 1wk fc +85/+102% and fwdPe 3.05, but IBM/DXC AI-shift plunge news and recom 3.33 keep it as a speculative add.
10	OWL	BUY PULLBACK	5.7	Steady 1d fc +12/+26/+44%, Meta Hyperion tie-in is a real catalyst, but rich PE 117 and modest weekly forecast limit upside.
11	KVYO	BUY PULLBACK	5.5	1d fc +10/+23/+33% and strong 30% salesYoY, but 1h/4h forecasts already negative — near-term overbought.
12	CLVT	BUY PULLBACK	5.3	1wk fc +38/+98/+148% and $600M divestiture catalyst, but negative sales growth and no earnings tempers conviction.
13	PGY	WAIT	5.0	Great fundamentals (PEG 0.2, recom 1.0) but 1wk fc_long -45.8% while weekly pos 93% — signals mean-reversion DOWN.
14	FOUR	WAIT	4.9	Daily and weekly both at 100% pos-in-range with 1h fc_long -22.9% — priced for perfection, don't chase.
15	DUOL	WAIT	4.5	1d fc +7/+39/+52% is decent but weekly pos 100%, Wedbush Neutral initiation, targetUpsidePct -12.6%.
16	WHR	WAIT	4.3	Huge 1wk fc +105/+154% and deep -42% drawdown, but explicit recession-driven downgrade this week is a landmine.
17	REAX	WAIT	4.1	1d fc +46/+48%, targetUpsidePct 136%, but negative ROE -13.3 and 1wk fc_short -16.6% show weakening momentum.
18	PTLO	WAIT	4.0	1wk fc_long +138% is eye-catching, but 'StockStory: 3 Reasons PTLO is Risky' and thin margins keep it as a lottery ticket.
19	ARDT	WAIT	3.8	PE 10.77 and PEG 0.87 are attractive but 4h/1d forecasts are turning negative and two brokers just cut PTs to $12.
20	PPC	WAIT	3.6	PE 7.79 and 1d fc +38.3% look strong, but 1wk forecasts flatlined near 0% and daily/4h pinned at 100% pos-in-range.
21	TTAN	WAIT	3.4	1h/4h forecasts negative across all horizons, no weekly data, negative margins — momentum broken despite positive analyst notes.
22	QDEL	WAIT	3.2	1h fc_long -31.9% and profitMargin -45.5% — the 1wk fc +69% is not enough to overcome the near-term collapse signal.
23	INSP	WAIT	3.0	fwdPe 41.6 with recall risk headline; targetUpsidePct only +1.6% — reward/risk is not there.
24	GPGI	WAIT	2.9	Weekly fc_long -45.3% and salesYoY -100% — a broken structure hiding behind a small daily bounce.
25	ZENA	WAIT	2.7	Roll-up acquisition story is exciting but operMargin -217% and profitMargin -332% make this pure speculation.
26	BRZE	AVOID	2.5	Every horizon on 1h and 4h negative, weekly pos 100% — bullish_prob 0 confirms deteriorating tape.
27	CXT	AVOID	2.2	1h fc -18/-26/-17%, 4h -8/-17/-18%, daily/weekly negative — bullish_prob 0, priced for perfection with a bearish call from SA.
28	HRB	AVOID	2.0	Every forecast on every timeframe is negative, targetUpsidePct -5.6%, weekly and daily at 100% pos-in-range.
29	VIA	AVOID	1.7	All 1h/4h/1d forecasts negative, profitMargin -21.6%, Waymo/Uber tangential news is a negative sector read.
30	RARE	AVOID	1.5	RSI exactly 50, ROE -656%, profitMargin -91%, bullish_prob 0 — no tape confirmation and no fundamentals to lean on.
