The Week Ahead
Week of September 13 - September 20, 2026

NEXT-WEEK BIAS: NEUTRAL — CONSOLIDATION LIKELY
No edge either direction yet — no confirmed breakout or breakdown. Favor names holding above their 50-day, skip the chase. Health Care vs Utilities rotation sets the tone next week.

SCENARIOS FOR NEXT WEEK
Bull: SPY holds above 7,536 and breaks 7,727 — Health Care extends, breadth stays broad. Add on confirmed breakout.
Base: SPY chops between 7,536 and 7,727 — stay selective, fade extremes, reduce size in chop.
Bear: SPY loses 7,536 on volume — Utilities accelerates lower, VIX spikes. Step aside or hedge.
