Bulls Figured Why Out Stocks Were On-Sale
Hello TheoTrader, Something clicked for the bulls last week. The first full week of 2026 saw both the S&P 500 and the Dow register new all-time highs.

Since the start of the…
The NASDAQ Problem
The Dow Jones hit a new all time high yesterday. The NASDAQ hasn't made one since late October. Gianni Di Poce flagged this divergence in today's session.

What Markets Knew About Venezuela Beforehand
Hello TheoTrader, Today is the last day of the Santa Claus Rally. But practically speaking, holiday trading is officially over. We’re back to full trading regular hours.

Inside the 2025 Sector Scoreboard.
Hello TheoTrader, Three years. Three double-digit gains. And one brutal April that nearly derailed everything. The S&P 500 finished 2025 up approximately 17%, more than doubling its historical 7% average. That follows 24% in 2023 and 23% in 2024. But the headline number doesn't tell the whole story. This year tested conviction like few others,…

The Anatomy of a Perfect Call
I'm sitting here on the second to last trading day of the year, looking at silver trading north of $77 as I write this, and honestly? This is what it feels like when you read the charts right. Back on January 9th, when I laid out what I called a "golden opportunity in gold and…
Can the Bulls Rest Before 2026?
Hello TheoTrader, It's the final trading week of 2025. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow closed at their highest weekly levels in history again on Friday. This is bullish price action. Full stop.

The Q4 Sector Scorecard
Hello TheoTrader, Holiday trading is in full swing, but I'm not giving much weight to the Santa Claus Rally period right now. My focus is on where capital rotated this quarter at the sector level. With only three trading days remaining in 2024, the Q4 data is essentially complete—giving us a meaningful foundation to assess…
NASDAQ's Warning Signal
