The Scorecard has us at market bullish, and I’ll take it. What I want to point out is where the strength is coming from: energy, financials, healthcare, biotech, materials and industrials. Big tech and the big chips are along for the ride, not driving it. $SMH sits at a 30, $XLK at a 60, and the Big 10 basket is running at just 25% of its best score. That’s a very different market than April or May.

The trade I like most right now is $AVGO for October, bought into the flush. They flipped the MACD negative back in June and this is the first shift back to the buy side since then, so I finally have the squeeze, the structure and the trend together, 15 points out of 15. I’m wrong below $395 to $400, and if the two-day fires with the three-day and weekly behind it, the path runs into $500 and change.

Volume is how you tell whether the big money is actually behind a move or just letting it drift. Raghee Horner goes live Wednesday at 6pm CT / 7pm ET to walk through how she reads volume with her Volume Max 2.0 toolkit. If you want confirmation before you chase a breakout, give this one an hour.

What a difference a few days makes. The S&P 500 and the Dow both printed brand new all-time highs today, and the bear trap I flagged on QQQ last week played out exactly the way bulls wanted: shorts got roped under the weekly 21 EMA, and price snapped right back above the key level.

My line in the sand has not changed. Above $680 on $QQQ, the bulls have the ball, the 3-day squeeze is in great shape, and a buy trigger opens the door toward $780. Back under $680, I think we roll over and take out the recent lows.

The chips are where the action is. I’m holding the Nvidia December $200 calls I picked up yesterday, and I break down the squeeze setups stacking up in $AVGO, $TSM, and $AMD ahead of tonight’s earnings report, plus slingshot squeeze candidates like $DELL and $HPE. With the market this stretched, I’m staying patient and letting the triggers come to me.

I lay out the full game plan, level by level, in today’s video.

Price tells you what happened, volume tells you who made it happen. Tomorrow, Raghee is going live to break down how she reads volume to spot where the real money is positioned before the move even starts. If you want one more edge stacked on top of your setups, grab a seat NOW.

It’s a tricky tape heading into a loaded week. The Fed lands tomorrow, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon all report, and the QQQ is fighting for dear life right at critical weekly support. The equal-weight S&P and the Dow look genuinely strong, but the QQQ and the Big 10 are the problem, and until that changes I’m treating the broad “bullish” read with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The number that matters most to me is the weekly 21 EMA. We’re sitting just below it for the first time since we reclaimed it back in early April, and momentum is a hair away from a negative MACD shift. Earnings can flip that in a hurry, so I lay out both paths: the bullish case where they reclaim $690 to $695 and stabilize, and the bearish case that opens the door toward $650 and lower.

I also run through the trades we just closed in the alert room, a clean Bitcoin futures squeeze, a stacked JP Morgan setup, and a 40% winner on Amgen, plus the ranking system behind them and why Lily is the name I want for the next long.

Full breakdown is in the video below.

It’s not an easy market, but we’re still kicking butt in the alert room, over a 74% win rate on the last 150+ alerted trades. Wednesday night at 6:00pm Central,  I’m breaking down exactly how it works: the entries, the exits, the criteria, and why I think you should give the alert service a shot. Bring your beverage of choice, and join us HERE. 

There is plenty going right under the surface today. The chips and big tech are finally waking up, energy gapped higher, and $NVDA just climbed back to the top of the Big 10, something we have not seen in a long stretch. What keeps me from calling this a clean green light is momentum. The structure and the trend are there on name after name, but the MACD still has not turned.

That is really the whole story of this one. $NVDA is sitting on a 3-day squeeze that could carry it from $155 toward $240, $AMD is coiling on the daily, and the S&Ps have a squeeze of their own building. On the risk side, I need $QQQ to reclaim $720 or the tape starts to look shaky. I go level by level and show you the two trades I am already in: a long $JPM August $350/$360 call debit spread, and a long gold futures position I am trailing with a 1-hour stop.

Bottom line, the setups are stacked and the trends point the right way, but I am not chasing a thing until momentum confirms it. Get that MACD shift and these charts get their full tank of gas.

Tonight, Henry walks through his unbalanced butterfly strategy that allows him to pull income out of 0DTE trades, and it’s free to join. If you’ve heard me talk about clean setups and defined risk, this is that same discipline applied to same-day expiration. Catch it live HERE.

The market still has a lot of areas acting well, but I do not think this is a clean risk-on environment until QQQ starts to improve. IWM, the Dow, financials, healthcare, and other sectors are showing strength, but QQQ is sitting near a make-or-break level that could decide whether these setups get follow-through or start to break down.

In this video, I walk through why QQQ holding the 50 SMA matters, how today’s market compares to the stronger April and May environments, and why tech leadership is still the missing piece. I also cover the trades I’m watching and managing right now, including JP Morgan, ARKK, and the S&P 500 daily squeeze setup.

The main idea is simple: the market may look strong on the surface, but I want QQQ to confirm before assuming the next breakout is ready to go.

The market is starting to look better, but I still do not think we are back to the easy April-style environment just yet. IWM and the Dow continue to show strong structure, but the bigger key may be whether QQQ can keep rebuilding after its recent weakness.

In this video, I walk through the open trades I’m managing right now, including IWM, Dow futures, ARKK, and a recent profit take in TSM. I also explain why QQQ holding key support matters, how a better tech tape could help the broader market, and why names like AMD, TSM, Micron, and Dell are still on my radar.

The main idea is simple: the market is improving, but I still want clean entries, strong structure, and confirmation before chasing extended moves.

The market is back to neutral, but there are still pockets of strength worth watching. While QQQ and the Big 10 names remain the biggest risk to broader momentum, small caps, Dow names, financials, healthcare, and other areas are starting to show better relative strength.

In this video, I break down the setup in IWM and the Russell futures, including the daily squeeze structure and the key levels that could open the door toward the 305 area. I also explain why QQQ holding above the daily 21 EMA matters so much, and how that could determine whether this small-cap rotation has room to keep working.

I also take a look at AMD and TSM, both of which remain on the radar but still need cleaner confirmation before stepping in aggressively.

The market is still leaning neutral-bullish, with the major indices holding up well and several sectors showing strength. There’s one area, however, that could become a problem if it doesn’t improve: the Big 10 basket.

In this video, I break down why leadership from industrials, materials, financials, and chips is constructive, but why weaker action in heavily weighted names like Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Tesla, and Broadcom could put pressure on the broader market if that trend continues.

I also walk through the weekly squeeze setup in $JPM, the still-incomplete $TSLA opportunity, and why names like $AMD, $MU, and $TSM may still be in play, but likely require cleaner lower-timeframe entries after their recent moves.

The market still looks constructive on the bigger timeframes, but short-term momentum is starting to cool. In this video, I break down why the S&P and Nasdaq may have room for more downside without fully breaking the larger bullish trend, and why the first negative MACD shifts since March could point to a choppier, more day-trader-focused environment.

I also walk through the rotation showing up in real estate, financials, and healthcare, while big tech names like TSM, Broadcom, Apple, and Tesla take a breather. For now, my message is simple: the bigger trend is still intact, but patience matters. The next clean swing opportunities may need a little more time to set up.
