  1. Bearish climax occurred on 21 Jul — maximum Strong Bearish count and weakest overall pulse.
  2. Rapid regime repair began 22 Jul — Strong Bullish count jumped from 0 → 6, Neutral expanded, and broad indices (especially Nasdaq) flipped higher.
  3. Energy remains the most consistent bullish sector across the entire window.
  4. Financials (XLF) and Real Estate (XLRE) are the clear laggards — XLRE’s flip from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish is the most dramatic single-symbol deterioration.
  5. Current state (23 Jul) is Mixed with a mild bullish tilt in growth/tech and energy, while value/financials and some defensive areas remain soft. No broad bullish or bearish confluence exists.

Net 4-day trajectory: From Bearish Confluence → Peak Bearish → Mixed recovery → Still Mixed (but with improving breadth in growth and energy).
