We’ve entered the Twilight Zone of the market—where Disney now owns a piece of the NFL, Japan’s central bank is stuck in 1992 denial, and everyone’s just pretending things are fine because the charts haven’t caught fire (yet).
Key Takeaways
Reversion trades ruled the morning
- SMCI and AMD both cratered after earnings, triggering textbook reversion setups.
- These are the kinds of trades I like—off the edge, high volatility, fast money.
Homebuilders still grinding higher
- Names like Pulte and Green Brick continue to climb their moving averages.
- It’s slow and sneaky, but that tells me funds are still quietly rotating in.
Insider buying is getting loud
- We’re seeing big insider clusters post-earnings—real size, not fluff.
- That’s institutional confidence you don’t want to ignore.
What I’m Watching
TECS is creeping back into my zone. If it breaks those short-term moving averages, that’s a warning shot for tech—especially the beloved Magnificent Seven. Combine that with a stronger dollar, and we’ve got a recipe for weakness in materials, energy, and commodities. If copper and GDX start to curl down, I’ll be sniffing around for short entries. And Jackson Hole looms large—watch Powell’s tone. He blinks, and we’ll see rip-your-face-off rallies. He doesn’t… well, you know what happens next.
Markets don’t sleep—but they do send signals. Learn to listen and you’ll stay a step ahead.
Until next time,
