Gemstone & Moon — Live Overlay Example (17 Nov 2025)

This page shows a real-world, hedge-fund-ready overlay example — the exact style of annotated PNG that lands in qualified institutional inboxes each week. Built for CIOs, CROs, multi-strat pods, family offices, and OSJ / RIA platforms.

PDFs for the library. PNGs for the desk.
No exceptions. No bloat. Just the visual.

This Is the PNG That Lands on the Desk

Each weekly overlay delivery is a single annotated PNG — no slide deck, no memo, no competing versions. The hero image (MSTR 2024) shows a full progression:

  • Phase Entry Markers (Blue) where participation turns constructive.
  • Early Moderation Cues (Light Pink) as momentum begins to compress.
  • Staged De-Risking Cues (Magenta) at maturing edges.
  • Cycle Exhaustion / Completion Markers (Red / Yellow) at the end of the advance.

Everyone — CIO, PM, Risk, Trading — works from the same cycle map. Interpretation is standardized; execution remains fully under your control.

Example names used in live institutional overlays include MSTR, NVDA, PLTR, ALAB, SEZL, RBLX, CRDO, NBIS, TQQQ, and SPY. Screens shown here are illustrative only.

Gemstone & Moon overlay example — MSTR 2024 full-cycle

Full-cycle annotated PNG (4h window). Delivered weekly as a high-resolution PNG for desk use, internal distribution, and governance archives.

Examples

Nine Overlay Examples Across Leadership, Satellites & Benchmarks

The grid below shows how the framework applies consistently across market structure — from leadership (NVDA), to satellites (ALAB, SEZL), to high-beta (TQQQ), to benchmarks (SPY), and to names that never meet entry criteria (NBIS).

PLTR 2025 overlay example

PLTR 2025 — March–April Phase Entry, June moderation, and August De-Risking / Completion around an AI-infrastructure leadership run.

CRDO 2025 overlay example

CRDO 2025 — Smooth Phase Entry, early moderation, and July De-Risking into a clean September exhaustion cluster.

NVDA 2025 overlay example

NVDA 2025 — Anchor leadership map: March–April Phase Entry followed by May moderation and late-Q3 fatigue.

ALAB 2025 overlay example

ALAB 2025 — Satellite acceleration from April Entry into dense Pink and a clear September exhaustion peak.

SEZL 2025 overlay example

SEZL 2025 — 2024 exhaustion, 2025 reset, and no fresh Phase Entry yet—illustrating “wait for the next cycle” discipline.

RBLX 2025 overlay example

RBLX 2025 — April Phase Entry, May moderation, June De-Risking, and July exhaustion across a long consumer advance.

NBIS 2025 overlay example

NBIS 2025 — Non-entry sequence that still advanced to exhaustion and completion — useful for documenting regimes that never met entry criteria.

TQQQ 2024 overlay example

TQQQ 2024 — Levered index full cycle: July exhaustion versus later Phase Entry markers that anchor behavior vs. underlying.

SPY 2024 overlay example

SPY 2024 — Benchmark map with multiple Phase Entry markers used as the committee’s reference point for posture shifts.

Scenario

One Real-World Scenario (Illustrative Only)

Below is an illustrative example of how a CIO or PM may use a White Pearl → Moderation scenario to clarify posture, sizing, and RACI. Numbers are hypothetical and included only to demonstrate process.

Phase & PNG What the PNG Shows Hedge-Fund RACI & Illustrative Actions Expected Output
White Pearl
Confirmed trend expansion.
  • Core index up ~2% on the week; breadth >70%.
  • Leadership names broadly green.
  • Satellite complex showing early Light Pink clusters.
  • High-beta proxies nearing exhaustion.
Responsible: Multi-strat PM
Accountable: CIO / Head of Risk
Consulted: Sector PMs
Informed: Trading / Compliance

Illustrative actions:
  • Maintain elevated gross (180–220%).
  • Trim satellites 20–30%.
  • Light index hedges where fatigue clusters densify.
  • Participation in the next leg higher.
  • Reduced tail risk.
  • Aligned posture heading into next meeting.
Light Pink Moon
Moderation / transition.
  • Index stretched, new highs compressing.
  • Satellites heavily Light Pink.
  • Exhaustion in prior leaders.
Responsible: Risk & Trading
Accountable: CIO / Risk Committee

Illustrative actions:
  • Reduce gross 30–40% in highest-beta sleeves.
  • Scale hedge ladder (3–6 months).
  • Shift risk budget to future reset candidates.
  • Protect YTD gains.
  • Pre-position for reset.
  • Clear documentation for minutes.

All details are hypothetical and included only to demonstrate how PNG overlays support RACI and posture discussions.

Use Cases

How Institutional Teams Use the Same Overlay

Multi-Strat Hedge Fund Pod

A multi-strat pod receives a cycle similar to MSTR 2024 — Entry → Moderation → De-risking → Exhaustion.

  • Pod lead uses Pearl/Pink balance for gross & net.
  • Risk tags the PNG as the cycle reference.
  • Committee notes reference the same visual.

Result: faster risk meetings; less debate on “where we are.”

Global Macro / Tactical Sleeve

Macro sleeve sees ALAB/CRDO — satellites with dense Pink and exhaustion.

  • Macro PM anchors tone of risk-on vs. moderation.
  • Options team evaluates hedges.
  • Traders get clear markers of entry/completion.

Result: hedge decisions start from shared structure.

Family Office Allocation Committee

Committees track conviction names via NVDA, TQQQ, SPY overlays to document posture.

  • Trustees see visual explanations for posture shifts.
  • Minutes link to the PNG.

Result: clear audit trail.

OSJ / RIA Home Office

RIA platforms use NBIS overlays to explain why certain names never meet cycle criteria.

  • Advisors retain discretion but share context.
  • Compliance attaches PNGs to governance files.

Result: less pressure to chase setups.

Process

How the Overlay Fits Into Your Workflow

  1. Weekly delivery of annotated PNGs for selected indices and names.
  2. 3–5 minute review to align phase and posture tone.
  3. RACI engages: CIO, PM, risk, traders know their lanes.
  4. Decisions documented with PNGs attached to agendas/minutes.
  5. Post-mortems revisit same images for clarity.

Your models do not change. The overlay provides a shared visual backbone.
