TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Tech’s Timely Triumph
We just saw both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 close at their highest weekly level in history. From a purely technical standpoint, this would imply that another leg higher in stocks is in the works. But all year, we’ve heard stories about bad market breadth, negative market sentiment, tariff tantrums, a clueless Fed, and more.…
New All-Time Highs Are on the Way - Prepare Now
Stocks are looking to cap off another impressive week, and register their highest weekly closes in history. Of course, we’ll see how we shape up into the closing bell, but the recent price action really is a testament to the idea that sentiment follows price, not the other way around. Here we have stocks within…
Zooming In on China - Here’s the Real Story
A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on how Trump’s presidency could turn out to be bullish for the Chinese equity market. I’m still very much in this camp, but now I want to take it a step further, especially after recent headlines of individuals like David Tepper boosting his allocation to China. I…
Stocks Are Still Spinning Near All-Time Highs - Here's What's Next
Traders flipped the script for the big indices, and we saw a nice bid take shape under stocks coming out of the weekend. The past two weeks have been a kind of slow-motion Groundhog Day for stocks - selling on Monday, rallying Tuesday to Thursday, and selling on Friday. We’ll see if we can break…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Rate-Sensitive Sectors Rip Higher
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen the market’s trading range become increasingly narrow. But there is some context to this, because we’ve seen tremendous intraday volatility, or wide trading ranges on the daily timeframe. This is why I love to say, “When in doubt, zoom out.” Because even though there’s a healthy level of…
How To Trade This “Tariff Tantrum” Tape
Stocks have slowly but steadily crept higher since the start of the new year, and by most metrics I track, it looks like this trend is set to continue into the near-term future. But already this year, I’ve heard stories of traders blowing up their accounts due to the market’s volatility. But when you zoom…
The Bulls Backed Down the Bears (Again) - Here’s What to Do
Another week… another gap down to start. This time, however, the bulls reasserted control of the tape much more quickly than before, and now we see stocks pressing back and onward to new highs. I said last week that I expected software to emerge as a leader in the wider tech sector, and I…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Communications Have More to Say
Some moments in time pack more activity into a single week than in years past—and I believe we are living in one of those moments. Markets act as a discounting mechanism; in other words, they continuously bring future expectations into today’s pricing. Today’s headline risks are as elevated as they have been in recent memory.…
Introducing… TheoTrade’s Crypto Hour!
There are periods in history where more happens in the span of several months than several years. We lived through such a period back during covid, and now it seems like we’re entering another one of those times. And it’s during times like these where markets provide tremendous opportunities to level up one’s station. This…
How China’s A.I. Just Transformed the U.S. Tech Landscape - And Not in the Way You Think
It’s been a whirlwind week for markets, especially on the tech front. Stocks opened Monday reeling from the DeepSeek news out of China. Even an announcement from Alibaba about a major AI development failed to attract significant media attention. Artificial intelligence has been a dominant theme in the U.S. over the past year, driving much…
