Contrarian Setup Tracker

A conditional long/short research watchlist, not a performance record. Reviewed Nov 15, 2026 (ET), ahead of Monday Nov 16. Equity and ETF reference prices are TradingView closes for the Nov 13 session, retrieved Nov 15. Price-path checks and the hypothetical scorecard use dated CBOE daily bars via Fintel (Nov 6–13). FRED yields and spreads run through Nov 12.

Read this first

Research, not returns. All entries, stops and targets are hypothetical planning levels. No brokerage executions, realized profits or actual open positions are represented. A bar trading into a zone does not prove a fill, and a target touch does not prove an exit. The scorecard below is hypothetical scoring of the plan rules against public price bars, not executed trades or verified returns. No win rate, portfolio return or option return is claimed. This is not investment advice.

The core question is unchanged: do AI-investment, rates and consumer-credit risks create attractive conditional shorts while selected recovery longs offer asymmetric setups? This week the evidence shifted toward rates. Treasury yields rose sharply while junk-bond spreads tightened, and AI-funding signals were mixed. These remain competing hypotheses, not established outcomes.

Hypothetical scorecard, Nov 9–13

Hypothetical scoring of the Nov 8 plan rules against public CBOE daily bars via Fintel (Nov 6 and Nov 13 closes, Nov 9–13 highs and lows). Not executed trades or verified returns. “Week move” is the Nov 6 → Nov 13 close change in the thesis direction, divided by the distance from zone midpoint to original stop (one risk unit), whether or not the zone was reached. “Mark if midpoint reached” applies only when a Nov 9–13 bar's range included the zone midpoint, and marks that hypothetical entry to the Nov 13 close. Grades use week move: A ≥ +0.5, B +0.2 to +0.5, C −0.2 to +0.2, D −0.6 to −0.2, F below −0.6. Daily bars cannot establish intraday sequence.

Summed week move −2.56R (−0.20R per plan), mostly from the Nov 11 AI and semiconductor bounce against the CRWV, META, ORCL and SMH shorts. A zone midpoint was reached in 7 plans (CACC, HYG, KRE, SYF, SMH, CRWV, ORCL); no stop level was crossed this week. These are not trade results and are not added to any running total.

NBIS (new)Below zoneNew plan; below zone. Nov 11 bar reached $160.21, then Nov 12–13 bars fell to a $109.00 low (Nov 13). No entry is scored under the old plan.Hypothesis: AI demand is not converting into funded capacity and cash flow fast enough. Nebius's Q3 release (Nov 12) guided 2026 revenue to the low end of $3.0–3.4B on third-party capacity delays, and CNBC reported 2027 capex guidance of $40–45B.Revised bounce-only plan, not a retroactive trade. Replaces the old $160–172 / stop $190 plan, whose zone was touched only at its lower edge (Nov 11 high $160.21). Do not short into weakness ~40% below the Nov 11 high.Original stop for this revised plan $160. Wrong if prepayments or other non-dilutive funding cover the 2027 capex plan, or price reclaims $160.
METABelow zoneBars traded into the lower part of the zone on Nov 9 (high $647.25), Nov 10 ($647.28) and Nov 11 ($648.45); the $657.50 midpoint was not reached. Stop $700 not approached.Conditional capex-versus-cash-generation short, not a claim that META's own free cash flow is negative. Nvidia results (Nov 17, confirmed) and the Anthropic IPO (price range $70–78 per TechCrunch) are tests of AI risk appetite.Just below the entry zone. Historical midpoint-fill and return claims remain removed; no trailing stop is applied.Original price stop $700; stronger cash generation relative to investment weakens the thesis.
ORCLWithin zoneNov 11 bar ($124.15–130.77) traded through the whole zone and above its $129 top, $3.23 below the $134 stop. Nov 12–13 bars stayed around the zone; Nov 13 close inside it.Watch the financing cost and cash conversion of AI infrastructure commitments.Revised bounce-only plan, not a retroactive trade. The lower part of the zone fails the entry-quality gate; only the upper part offers 2R to T2.Original stop for this revised plan $134; easing financing pressure weakens the thesis.
CACCWithin zoneNov 9 high $540.01 came within $4.99 of the $545 stop while price was above the zone. Bars traded back into the zone Nov 10–13 (Nov 13 low $498.75); Nov 13 close inside it.Consumer-credit stress is a hypothesis to test against collections and delinquency data, not an established explanation for the stock move. NY Fed Q3 (Nov 10): 5.0% of household debt delinquent (+0.3 pt); auto flow into serious delinquency 3.02% versus 2.99% a year earlier.Within zone, but the lower part of the zone fails the entry-quality gate. Equity only: the option chain was too wide and thinly traded to use as an expression.Original price stop $545; stabilizing collections weaken the thesis.
SMHBelow zoneNov 11 bar ($496.01–516.65) traded through the whole zone and above its $515 top, $23.35 below the $540 stop. Closed $486.75 Nov 13, below the zone.Conditional semiconductor bounce-short tied to AI investment and funding risk; not a short-at-market call. Nvidia reports Nov 17 after the close, its first report since CEO Jensen Huang's Nov 12 resignation (Reuters, CNBC).Below zone. Do not chase weakness; only a bounce back into $495–515 qualifies.Original price stop $540; stronger semiconductor demand and sustained price recovery weaken the thesis.
HD (new)Below zoneNew plan; below zone. Week range $343.26–356.90 (Nov 9 high $356.90 traded into what is now the zone, before the plan existed).Hypothesis: the ~19% one-month rally priced in falling mortgage rates that have since reversed (10-year Treasury 5.10% on Nov 12, FRED). Short only a post-earnings pop into $352–362; skip if it gaps down.Zone set at $352 (not $350) so its least favorable edge still offers 2R to T2. An earnings date listed on some calendars was not independently confirmed and is omitted here.Original price stop $372, above the $362.44 one-month high. Wrong if comparable sales turn positive with raised guidance and yields fall.

NY Fed Q3: card flow into serious delinquency 6.87% versus 7.05% a year earlier. October retail sales print Nov 17.Within zone, but the top of the zone does not offer 2R to T2. Apply the entry-quality gate.Original price stop $64; worsening losses or collections weaken the thesis.
NVOAbove zoneDid not trade into the zone Nov 9–13 (week low $40.08 on Nov 12).Conditional recovery thesis based on execution, product demand and guidance.Above zone; do not chase. The upper end of the zone does not offer 2R to T2.Original price stop $33.50; weaker guidance or demand weakens the thesis.
STZAbove zoneDid not trade into the zone Nov 9–13 (week low $142.21, high $147.00).Cash-generation and capital-return recovery thesis; valuation yields are not asserted without verification.Above zone; wait. The upper end of the zone does not offer 2R to T2.Original price stop $124; deterioration in cash-flow outlook weakens the thesis.
SQMBelow zoneBars traded inside the zone Nov 9–12 without reaching the $56 midpoint; Nov 13 close $53.61 below the zone (low $52.98, $2.98 above the stop).Conditional lithium-cycle recovery thesis; commodity weakness can invalidate the case. Q3 results Nov 17 around 8 PM ET per TradingView (confirmed).Just below zone. Do not add ahead of the Nov 17 print; a quoted price near a zone does not establish an entry.Original price stop $50; sustained lithium-price deterioration weakens the thesis.

Week range $27.93–30.50.Deep-value hypothesis: the stock fell 23.7% on Nov 4 after the company cut 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.82–5.89 (from $6.15–6.24) and announced a CFO departure. About 5x guided EPS at the Nov 13 reference price.Zone capped at $29.50 so its least favorable edge offers 2R to T2. Base at $27.93–30.50 since the gap.Original price stop $26.40. Wrong if guidance is cut again or the dividend is cut.

TLT (new)Within zoneNew plan; within zone. Bars traded into the zone Nov 12 (low $79.72) and Nov 13 ($79.11–79.64).Hypothesis: long-end supply plus a hawkish Fed keep pushing yields up. 10-year 4.86% → 5.10% and 30-year 5.26% → 5.43% (FRED, Nov 6 → Nov 12). Next tests: 20-year auction Nov 18, 5- and 7-year auctions Nov 24–25, and PCE on Nov 25.Within zone. A rates thesis is not a TLT total-return forecast; distributions and curve shape matter.Original price stop $82.50, above the $82.42 one-month high. Wrong if the Fed signals it will skip December or the 10-year falls back under 4.90%.
HYGBelow zoneBars traded inside the zone Nov 9–11 (Nov 9 high $77.55, $0.05 above the zone top); Nov 13 close below it. Stop $78.30 not approached.Credit-spread widening was the bearish hypothesis, but spreads tightened (HY 342 → 320bp, Nov 6 → Nov 12, FRED). HYG fell anyway because Treasury yields rose, so the position now depends on rates, not credit.Just below zone. Thesis has drifted to rates; it overlaps with TLT and KRE and is not an independent bet.Original price stop $78.30; sustained spread tightening with falling yields weakens the thesis.
KREWithin zoneWithin zone all week; Nov 9 high $74.08 ($0.08 above the zone top). Stop $76.50 not approached.Conditional regional-bank short on funding, credit and commercial-real-estate risk. NY Fed Q3: mortgage flow into serious delinquency 1.60% versus 1.28% a year earlier (household mortgages, not CRE).Within zone. Rates can help or hurt banks depending on funding costs and asset repricing.Original price stop $76.50; improving funding and credit quality weaken the thesis.

Entry-quality gate: consider a setup only if the actual planned entry inside its zone offers at least 2R to T2 using the original stop, before costs. ORCL, CACC, SYF, NVO, STZ fail that test at the least favorable edge of their zones; only the better part of those zones qualifies. T1 is an intermediate objective and need not offer 2R. Taking a partial exit at T1 lowers the blended payoff. Do not adjust a target merely to manufacture a ratio.

R means the planned underlying-price gain divided by the distance from entry to original stop. It is not expected return or probability of success. Gaps, borrow costs, fees and slippage can exceed planned risk; a stop price is not a guaranteed execution. Swing means days to weeks; position means weeks to months, subject to invalidation. Zones are research plans, not claimed fills. No revised trailing stop is applied retroactively.

Options framework

Setup typeConditional expressionRequired checks
Equity and macro shortsA put debit spread may define premium risk if a sufficiently liquid chain existsVerify both legs, expiry after the intended holding window, live bid/ask, open interest, event timing and net debit at the underlying entry
Equity longsA call debit spread may define premium risk if a sufficiently liquid chain existsUse the same expiry on both legs; verify liquidity, exercise/assignment exposure and realistic executable pricing
Any thin or wide marketSkip the option expression rather than rely on an attractive midpointA theoretical mark is not a fill; do not assume the spread can be entered or exited near its midpoint. CACC and SQM had no usable expression when last checked.

No contract expiry, strike pair, premium, implied volatility or open-interest figure is published here. Earlier dated midpoint illustrations have been omitted because they are not executable quotes and would need to be re-quoted on a live chain at the underlying entry. These structures are conditional alternatives, not additional trade ideas. Debit spreads can lose the entire premium; early assignment and expiration handling create additional operational risk. A spread's maximum profit/debit ratio is not the underlying setup's R and is not expected return.

Top 3 macro and credit cracks

1

Rates and the Fed: long-end supply meets a hawkish Fed

10-year 5.10%, 30-year 5.43% (FRED, Nov 12); TradingView quoted the 10-year near 5.14% on Nov 13 (FRED value not yet published). The Oct 28 statement held the target at 3.75%–4.00% with two voters preferring a hike. Escalates if: the 10-year closes above 5.15% on FRED, then 5.30%; the 30-year closes above 5.50%; the Nov 18 20-year or Nov 24–25 5- and 7-year auctions tail by 1bp or more; core PCE (Nov 25) prints 0.4% or higher. De-escalates if the 10-year returns under 4.90%. Related plans: TLT, KRE, HD, HYG (not independent bets).

2

AI financing and Nvidia governance: pressure, not proof of collapse

Mixed week: CoreWeave's funding stance improved while Nebius raised capex and cut its revenue outlook, and Nvidia's CEO resigned. Escalates if: NVDA closes below its $148.80 one-month low after Nov 17 results or cuts guidance; the Anthropic IPO prices below its $70–78 range or trades under the offer price; NBIS breaks $109. De-escalates if Nvidia guides up and the IPO trades well. Related plans: SMH, META, ORCL, NBIS.

3

Consumer credit: conflicting signals

NY Fed Q3 (Nov 10): household debt $19.1T; 5.0% delinquent (+0.3 pt); flow into serious delinquency 1.60% for mortgages (1.28% a year earlier), 3.02% for autos (2.99%), 6.87% for cards (7.05%). Escalates if: October retail sales (Nov 17) are negative; final UMich sentiment (Nov 20) is under 50; CACC closes below $498.75; SYF closes below $69.87; HY spreads return above 348bp. A CACC short and SYF long are different company theses, not a calibrated hedge.

Watch, not ranked: junk-bond spreads

HY 320bp, CCC 1,314bp, IG 89bp (FRED, Nov 12). Re-escalates if HY rises above 348bp (Nov 5), CCC above 1,356bp, or IG above 100bp.

Watch, not ranked: private credit, CRE and housing

BIZD and XHB remain archived after Nov 2 stop-level breaches. Non-listed BDC net outflows above $4B in Q3 (Stanger) are a background signal, not a trigger. Re-escalates if BIZD breaks $11.73 or another listed BDC cuts its dividend. Housing exposure is now expressed only through the conditional HD plan.

Nov 10

CRWV short ($54–60 zone, stop $66): thesis invalidated

CoreWeave's Q3 release (Nov 10) raised 2026 guidance and said it will not issue more unsecured debt, meeting the 'improving funding access' invalidation. Price stop not reached: the Nov 11 bar opened $55.97 inside the zone and traded to $62.03. Nov 13 close $53.13 (TradingView). No re-entry unless new funding stress appears and price fails back under $45.

USD prices in the setup table are TradingView closes for the Nov 13 session, retrieved Nov 15. Price-path checks and the scorecard use dated CBOE adjusted daily bars via Fintel for Nov 6–13. These are not live quotes. The two sources differ by a few cents on some closes; they are not mixed in one calculation.

Hypothetical scorecard rules

Week move scores every plan the same way, whether or not its zone was reached. The midpoint mark applies a mechanical rule (a daily bar's range included the zone midpoint) and is not an execution record: daily bars cannot show whether the midpoint traded before or after the bar's other extreme, and gaps, fees, borrow and slippage are ignored. Scorecard values are not accumulated across weeks.

Original levels versus historical proof

Entry zones, original stops and targets are retained planning levels. Original publication timing, order eligibility and execution have not been independently established. No realized result, open P&L, average R or hit rate is reported.

Theses versus verified facts

Company, capex, rates, consumer-credit and CRE narratives are framed as hypotheses. Items previously labelled secondary or unverified — including CDS levels, FedWatch probabilities, auction-tail details, Nvidia receivables and financing reports, TradingView valuation fields, and unconfirmed earnings dates — have been omitted from this public version.

Educational use

This report is educational hypothetical research, not personalized investment advice, a solicitation, or a recommendation that any reader take a position. No account information or actual brokerage performance is included. Readers must independently verify prices, risks, suitability and release schedules.

Market-data links identify the providers, not a reproducible execution record. The dated bar observations and source distinctions are specified above. FRED series links are provided for readers to inspect the source.
