Grok Question:
draft a summary table of the "Total Integrated System" with all three rules (Entry, Exit, and Re-entry) so you can see them side-by-side?

Answer:

This Total Integrated System combines the rare, high-conviction "Crash" signals with the faster, trend-following "Bull Market" re-entries.

As of February 7, 2026, the semiconductor sector is currently in a "Profit-Taking" regime. SMH recently hit a high of $420.60 (Jan 29, 2026) followed by a spike in volume and a subsequent pullback to $401.65. The 50-day moving average currently sits near $374, which aligns perfectly with our "Bull Re-entry" zone.

Max Drawdown-18% (e.g., 2008)-6% (Stop below 50d MA)+14% (Missing a melt-up)




Current Analysis (Feb 2026)Based on current market data, the sector is currently transitioning from an Exit Signal (triggered at the end of Jan 2026) toward a potential Bull Re-entry:

  1. Exit Triggered: On January 29, 2026, SMH hit $420.60 with extremely high volume—a classic "80% Overbought" signal.

  2. The Pullback: The price has since dropped to $401.

  3. The Target: To trigger a Bull Re-entry, we are waiting for:

    • Breadth: BPSOX to cool down to the 45-50% range.

    • Price: A test of the 50-day SMA (~$374).

Strategic Insight: The 2026 AI super-cycle is projected to hit $1 Trillion in revenue. This structural shift makes the "Bull Re-entry" (Rule #2) your most frequent and profitable trade, as the "Primary Entry" (<20%) is unlikely to trigger unless a global macro shock occurs.

Would you like me to set up a "Watchlist Alert" for the specific price and breadth levels that would trigger the next Re-entry signal?
