  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.32 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Illumina Inc moved 0.32% on average · correlation 0.07 · higher than 23% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.96 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.55% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +7.25% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Illumina Inc

ILMN in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Illumina builds the sequencing and array instruments, and the reagents and flow cells that run through them, used to read DNA and RNA. It sells whole-genome, exome and targeted sequencing kits and services to research centres, hospitals, government labs and biotech and diagnostics companies, mostly through direct sales and distributors. It also runs partnerships on oncology sequencing and on the data pipelines that turn raw reads into usable results. Illumina is based in San Diego.
Where it sits in the stack
Illumina carries no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index; it sits in the HALO Growth 100, our growth index outside the megacaps, in the Longevity & Healthspan sleeve. That sleeve groups diagnostics-at-scale and gene-editing platforms whose demand follows demographics, and Illumina supplies the sequencing hardware those platforms are built on.
Who it is priced against
The diary's peer group for this sleeve pairs GLP-1 leaders and gene-editing platforms with diagnostics-at-scale names and biopharma compounders, including Eli Lilly, Regeneron, Vertex, Novo Nordisk, Amgen and Natera; the market also names Thermo Fisher Scientific as a direct competitor in sequencing.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Illumina holds a seat in the HALO Growth 100 and carries a Closelooknet score, with momentum reading strongest and valuation weakest across the score's modules; the diary has not yet quoted it in an edition.
What the diary watches
Whether momentum keeps running ahead of valuation, or whether the gap narrows as analyst targets and the score's modules move against each other.

  • Grid — 1×1 up to 2×2. Cells are synchronized: pan or zoom one and the others follow the same dates; the crosshair tracks across all of them. 4 INDICES loads Rubin · HALO · AEI · AW40 side by side.
  • Type / Scale — OHLC, line or area; linear or log price axis.

Picking a series

  • Tap the box in a cell's header to browse every Closelooknet series — headline indices, sub-indices, sectors, layers of all six families — plus the constituents.
  • Or type any ticker (NVDA, 7203.T, ASML.AS …) and press Enter — it charts in the cell straight from our data lake.

Studies

  • Overlays / Oscillators rows toggle the standard set (SMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD …) per cell.
  • Levels (stock cells) draws the structure engine's support lines — regression bands, pivot cluster, SMA-200, the active fib zone.

Drawing

  • Tap a tool (Trend, Ray, H-Line, Fib, Channel, Rect, Note), then tap the chart once per point — the shape follows your finger or cursor between taps. The chart stops panning while a tool is armed; tap the tool again to release.
  • Drawings save per symbol in this browser and travel between the terminal and the asset page.
  • Delete key removes the selected drawing · Escape cancels a half-placed one · Clear wipes the symbol.

Wave counts

  • Wave places an Elliott count: tap the origin, then each wave end. Press Enter to stop early (inside wave 3 is fine) — dotted ghost targets sketch the remaining waves at guideline ratios.
  • On stocks the scanner's machine count appears automatically in grey — it is fully editable: drag any point, double-tap a label to remove it, Delete to dismiss it for good, Adopt to bring the machine's proposal back.
  • The sequence picker switches 1-5 / A-B-C / A-E / W-X-Y-Z; 1 2 3 cycles the degree; Subdiv starts a one-degree-smaller child count inside a wave.
