Yesterday's close, Bentley Systems (BSY.US) continued its recent adjustment trend, with the stock price remaining below the moving averages. The daily MACD formed a bearish crossover signal again below the zero axis, which is a second confirmation of the weak technical pattern— the rebound strength is insufficient to reverse the trend, and the bears have begun to exert pressure after regrouping at lower levels. The trading volume was approximately $92 million, performing relatively well among mid-cap stocks in the application software sector, but the capital flow is leaning bearish. The short-term moving average system is arranged downward, with each rebound encountering selling pressure near the moving averages, indicating that the bulls are clearly struggling. On the news front, the application software sector has recently shown a clear divergence pattern. AI-enabled SaaS companies like Datadog surged over 31% yesterday, Snowflake soared 10%, and CrowdStrike jumped 8%, with capital flooding into software targets with AI narratives. In contrast, Bentley Systems, as a company focused on infrastructure engineering software, has relatively weak expectations for AI transformation, finding itself in a "forgotten" corner amid the capital chase for high-elasticity AI targets. Additionally, a Goldman Sachs report pointed out that the power demand for data centers will double, indirectly benefiting software vendors related to AI infrastructure, but Bentley is more inclined towards traditional infrastructure, limiting its benefits. On a macro level, high interest rates also suppress the valuation center of SaaS companies. From a technical perspective, the MACD's death cross below the zero axis combined with the bearish arrangement of moving averages indicates a clear short-term bearish signal. There has been no unusual fluctuation in volume, and the adjustment is showing a mild downward trend, with the market lacking panic but also lacking buying pressure. Attention should be paid to whether the capital rotation in the software sector will flow back to traditional infrastructure software targets after the AI concept cools down, as this will be a key variable in changing the current pattern. The short-term trend reference is bearish, and under the background of severe capital bias towards AI concept stocks, the probability of Bentley Systems attracting incremental capital attention in the short term is low. Only if the software sector undergoes an overall adjustment and there is a capital rebalancing, or if the company discloses better-than-expected order data, could there be an opportunity for a rebound. _This article only provides technical analysis and market information for reference and does not constitute any investment advice.
