Pegasystems is the cleanest quality-squeeze setup on the board today. Every timeframe agrees on the upside: 1h fc_short/mid/long = +13.9%/+14.68%/+22.95%, 4h = +23.96%/+43.35%/+55.82%, 1d = +22.95%/+49.67%/+33.44%, and even the beaten-down weekly rolls to +22.15%/+32.9% mid/long. Bullish probability is a full 1.0 with near_term_bullish 0.8 — that is multi-timeframe agreement in the truest sense, and the model's expected_return_pct of ~59.9% ranks near the top of the list. Crucially, PEGA is NOT extended. Position-in-range is 31.7% (1h), 55.1% (4h), and just 25.5% on the weekly, with a weekly drawdown of −28.65% from the 21-bar high after a −45% 1yr decline. That is the opposite of chasing — you are buying a name the tape has already punished, where the forecast is now curling up. Compare that to UPWK/INSP which are pinned at 100% of range on multiple TFs, or SEZL/GCT/DLO whose forecasts are outright negative. Fundamentals are the strongest ingredient: ROE 54.69, profit margin 18.66, debt/equity 0.13, fwd P/E 11.87, PEG 1.17, target upside 38.3%, and a fundamental_score of 6.25. Sales YoY is modest (3.6%) but EPS growth next year is 7.83% and operating margin is 11.3% — this is a real cash-flowing enterprise software business, not a story stock. News flow supports the pick: a special cash dividend announced 7/31 and a ChartMill 'undervalued play' write-up 8/3 — no guidance cuts, no legal overhang, no dilution. Why today and not wait? The 4h/1d position is only mid-range with a fresh short-term forecast bump, weekly drawdown is still deep, and the special dividend is a fundamental catalyst that should compress the discount. Waiting for a bigger pullback risks missing the base breakout that the multi-TF forecast is signaling.
- Sales growth is only +3.6% YoY — a weak macro tape could compress the fwd P/E of 11.87 further despite the ROE of 54.69
- Short float 17.79% cuts both ways: fuels squeezes but also reflects real bear conviction after a −47.47% YTD/−45.35% 1yr drawdown
- Weekly 21-bar is still down −28.29% with dd −28.65% — trend has not yet confirmed on the highest timeframe, only mid/long forecasts have
- Enterprise software spending cycle risk; recom 1.93 is only lukewarm-buy, not the strong-buy 1.0 that CRMD or ABEO carry
- 1d fc_long (+33.4%) is lower than 1d fc_mid (+49.7%), suggesting the model expects some digestion after the mid-horizon pop
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PEGA | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Multi-TF bullish confluence, mid-range entry, ROE 54.7 / fwd P/E 11.87, and a fresh special-dividend catalyst. |
| 2 | TTD | BUY NOW | 7.9 | Deep-value tape: near_term 1.0, position 1.4%/13.9% of range, −25.9% weekly drawdown, forecast rolling up across all TFs. |
| 3 | UPWK | BUY PULLBACK | 7.6 | Best forecast alignment (all four TFs positive) plus fwd P/E 5.47, but chasing at 88–100% of range. |
| 4 | LRN | BUY NOW | 7.0 | Fund_score 6.25, position 3.7–9.4% of range, 1d fc_mid/long +16.9%/+24.4% — weekly forecasts still soft though. |
| 5 | BKV | BUY NOW | 6.5 | Fund_score 8 (best in field), 1h/4h fc_short/mid +13–17%, salesYoY +52%, but no weekly data and 1d fc_short is negative. |
| 6 | CRMD | BUY PULLBACK | 6.2 | 1h/4h/1d forecasts constructive, 1d fc_long +17.8%, but weekly forecasts all red and fund_score only 2.5. |
| 7 | DOCS | BUY PULLBACK | 5.8 | 1d fc_mid/long +66.9%/+77.6% look strong, bullish_prob 1, but 1h/4h are muted and profitMargin 30.4 is offset by fwd P/E 13.59 uncertainty. |
| 8 | INSP | WAIT | 5.5 | Post-earnings raised guidance is a real positive, but pinned at 100% of range on ALL four TFs — pure chase risk. |
| 9 | DUOL | WAIT | 5.2 | Bullish_prob 0.8 and 1d fc_long +45%, but weekly position 88% and 4h fc_long −10.46% signals near-term exhaustion. |
| 10 | FOXA | WAIT | 5.0 | Bullish_prob 1 near_term 0.8, but weekly fc_long −33.56% and pinned at 100% of range on 1h/4h/1d. |
| 11 | FRPT | WAIT | 4.6 | Fund_score 3.5, mixed forecasts, position 72–93% of range, 1h fc horizons all negative. |
| 12 | PSIX | WAIT | 4.2 | Extreme +137% 1h forecast is a red-flag outlier; weekly still bleeding −45% with fc_long −42%. |
| 13 | LYFT | WAIT | 3.6 | Bullish_prob 0.6, forecasts mostly negative on 1h/4h/1wk, pinned at 100% of range on 1d/1wk — no edge. |
| 14 | DDD | AVOID | 3.0 | Bullish_prob 0, 4h/1d/1wk forecasts negative, position 98–100% of range after +60% weekly move — classic top. |
| 15 | EVER | AVOID | 2.8 | Bullish_prob 0, 1h fc all −15.4%, PEG 31.5 caution, despite strong Q2 earnings beat. |
| 16 | GCT | AVOID | 2.5 | RSI 76.5, bullish_prob 0, ALL horizon forecasts negative across every TF. |
| 17 | DLO | AVOID | 2.3 | Bullish_prob 0, every forecast horizon deeply negative, pinned at 100% of range — sell setup. |

| 19 | TDC | AVOID | 2.0 | Bullish_prob 0, all horizons negative across every TF, sales YoY −0.82%. |
| 20 | ONDS | AVOID | 1.8 | PS 49.4, operMargin −90.2, weekly fc_long −48%, shortFloat 43.9% — broken setup. |
| 21 | ABEO | AVOID | 1.5 | OperMargin −637%, every forecast horizon negative, recent insider selling. |
| 22 | SEZL | AVOID | 1.3 | 1d/4h fc_short −55%/−48% — catastrophic forecast after +156% YTD parabola. |
| 23 | QTTB | AVOID | 1.0 | 1d fc_short −80.5%, fc_mid −77.9% — the tape is screaming exit after a +658% year. |
