UWM Holdings is the cleanest multi-timeframe bullish alignment in the pool that also sits at the bottom of its range rather than the top. The 4h/1d/1wk forecasts print a rare all-green stack: 4h fc_short +24.25% / fc_mid +118.46% / fc_long +155.66%, 1d fc_short +48.82% / fc_mid +93.4% / fc_long +82.47%, and 1wk fc_short +31.42% / fc_mid +147.44% / fc_long +85.84%. Bullish_prob = 1.0 and near_term_bullish = 1.0. Position in 21-bar range is 0% on 1h, 11% on 1d and 0% on 1wk, with a -51.89% weekly drawdown — this is a washed-out name, not a chase. The screen thesis is intact and cheap: fwd P/E 4.28, PEG 0.06, ROE 33.65, sales YoY +37.1%, EPS next Y +36.65%, short float 16.6% (squeeze fuel), and analyst target upside +111.2%. Even the bearish-tone headline (Barclays lowering PT to $4 while maintaining Overweight) still implies ~93% upside from $2.07. That's a rating cut on price, not on thesis, and the accompanying servicing-recovery narrative (Onity comp) supports the sector bottom read. Compared to CRK (also bullish_prob 1, near_term 1, but riding two Goldman/MS Sell/EW downgrades with PT cuts and a weaker fwd P/E of 14.86) and SMCI (deep drawdown but 1wk forecast turns negative -7.65% mid and recom is a lukewarm 3.0 with a -36% one-month headline), UWMC has both the strongest forecast magnitude AND the strongest positioning setup. The risk is the 70.65 debt/equity and thin 1.97% profit margin — real, but already priced into a $2 stock down 53% YTD. Why today: the 1h fc_short is essentially flat (-0.1%) while 4h/1d/1wk all fire >+24% short-horizon, meaning intraday isn't screaming 'wait for another dip' — the higher timeframes are ready to move off the base. Waiting risks a squeeze off the 0% range position; entering here uses the weekly low as a natural stop.

Entry zone

$2.00–$2.10 (current $2.07; scale in on any intraday flush toward $1.95)

Stop loss

$1.83 (below 21-bar weekly low ~$1.85, roughly -11%)

First target

$2.55 (fills recent 4h drawdown gap, +23%)

Longer target

$3.80–$4.20 (Barclays PT $4, Fintel-cited $4.99, aligns with 1wk fc_mid +147%)

Risks

Debt/Equity of 70.65 is extreme — a rate re-acceleration or MBS spread widening could wipe out equity value quickly
Profit margin only 1.97% despite 56.76% operating margin; earnings quality is fragile at this leverage
Barclays and other analysts are cutting PTs (to $4, then $4.99) even while maintaining ratings — sell-side momentum is negative
Short float 16.6% is squeeze fuel but also means bearish institutions have conviction against the mortgage cycle turning
Weekly drawdown of -51.89% and 0% range position can persist for months if refi volumes don't pick up — mean reversion is not guaranteed on the near-term forecast

Honorable mentions

CRKBullish_prob 1, near_term 1, clean multi-tf agreement (4h fc_mid +45, 1d fc_mid +24.72), 30.99% profit margin, PEG 0.37. Held back by Goldman Sell reiteration and Morgan Stanley EW with lowered PT to $16 — analyst tape is actively negative even as forecasts and screen are strong.

SMCIDeepest value setup (fwd P/E 8.29, PEG 0.39, RSI 38, position 0-11% of range) with bullish_prob 1 and strong 4h/1d mid-term forecasts (+31 to +45%). But 1wk fc_mid turns -7.65%, recom is a tepid 3.0, and the -36%-in-a-month headline plus SOXX-avoided-SMCI narrative signals institutional aversion. BUY_PULLBACK with confirmation.

Full ranking (11)

#	Symbol	Verdict	Score	Read
1	UWMC	BUY NOW	8.6	All-timeframe forecast alignment (+82% to +155% mid/long), 0% range position, screen-cheap at fwd P/E 4.28 with 111% analyst upside.
2	CRK	BUY NOW	7.4	Multi-tf bullish with 30% profit margins and PEG 0.37, but Goldman/MS lowered PTs create sell-side headwind.
3	SMCI	BUY PULLBACK	6.6	Washed out at 0% range with fwd P/E 8.29 and bullish_prob 1, but 1wk fc_mid -7.65% and recom 3.0 argue for confirmation first.
4	PAR	BUY PULLBACK	5.9	Huge 1d/1wk forecasts (+119/+165% mid) and bullish_prob 1, but negative profit margin -16% and -9% ROE make it speculative — size small.
5	FOUR	BUY PULLBACK	5.4	Bullish_prob 0.8 with strong 1wk fc_mid +39.78%, but position 87-90% of range and 1h forecasts negative — chasing here.
6	NRDS	WAIT	4.8	At 98% of daily range with SeekingAlpha downgrade citing growth slump; 1d fc_short -0.52% and 1wk fc_short -0.72% suggest exhaustion.
7	PGY	WAIT	4.3	Bullish_prob only 0.2; 1wk fc_short -28.63% and fc_mid -23.07% contradict the screen despite strong fundamentals.
8	MUX	AVOID	3.4	Bullish_prob 0 with 1wk fc_long -52.62% and 1d fc_long -26.8%; forecast tape breaks the screen thesis.
9	BKV	AVOID	3.2	Bullish_prob 0, negative 1d/1wk mid and long forecasts, and dilution-fear headline explicitly undermining the story.
10	DLO	AVOID	3.0	Bullish_prob 0 with 4h/1d/1wk mid forecasts all negative (-9 to -15%), sitting at 93% of weekly range — UBS upgrade already priced in.
11	TOYO	AVOID	2.6	Recent $50M dilutive offering, -52% daily drawdown, near_term_bullish 0 despite screen fundamentals — broken tape.
