Avoid These

🚫 ADBE
Adobe trading near 52-week lows with poor momentum. Don't catch this falling knife - wait for actual reversal signals
The Trap: Looks 'cheap' but downtrend intact, no volume confirmation of bottoming
🚫 MSFT
Underperforming tech peers with minimal momentum. Better opportunities elsewhere in tech
The Trap: Blue chip appeal, but momentum traders need momentum not dividends
