Choppy week for the markets, but Friday brought a twist. The S&P 500 dipped under its 50-day, then clawed back to finish positive. A good sign—or just a head fake? Full thoughts on CHART THIS: youtu.be/Q_9yTjVd__Q

#Bitcoin $GBTC teasing the "red light" portion of our traffic light setup with a break below the 200-day MA. For a pattern like this, I'd look for a close below the 200-day and then confirmation with some follow-through to signal a bearish configuration.

Only 39% of $SPX members currently remain above their 50-day moving average. Can the major indexes keep going higher, despite this crazy weak breadth? Apparently so...

Thanks to Mike Dickson @ Horizon Investments for a fantastic interview on the Market Misbehavior podcast! We talked top heavy benchmarks, building factor models, and why the path of returns matters as much as the destination. Solid quant insights and market perspective!

Not sure how the breadth could look much worse than this. Every new ATH for $SPX since June has been marked by less S&P 500 members regaining their 50-day moving average. "Healthy bull markets are marked by an expansion in breadth."

I'm seeing this as the second Hindenburg Omen signal in October. And that's not bullish for $SPX $QQQ! Not the world's most ideal timing tool, but does tell me to diligently look for signs of distribution. Discussed in detail on yesterday's show: www.youtube.com/live/1OjdBLk...
October 31, 2025 at 4:02 PM
We're going live at 5pm ET / 2pm PT on our YouTube channel for a market recap.
Topics to include:
* Risk-off move for the $SPX
* Mag7 earnings causing all the disruption $AAPL $AMZN

$SPX is hovering near record highs — but the real story lies beneath the surface. Time to break down three key charts — Alphabet ($GOOGL), Nvidia ($NVDA), and Meta ($META) — to uncover what they’re telling us about where the market is heading next!

Behold the powerful "traffic light" approach applied to $V:
$V over $355 = green light
$V between 335-355 = yellow light
$V below 335 = red light
Don't swing just to swing. Wait for the good pitches! ⚾️

"Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average." Almost there, $UNH. Keep fighting!
October 29, 2025 at 7:06 PM
At some point, one of these trends has to give. Either the breadth starts to improve as more stocks participate in the uptrend phase, or $SPX drops as almost everything but the Mag7 struggles. What's the call?

Our latest episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast features Tom Atkinson of FX Evolution. We discussed hard-won lessons on risk management, sector exposure), scaling into winners, avoiding FOMO, and using market cycles and macro “pillars” (population, innovation, debt). Cheers!

Walmart $WMT... new all-time high!
Wells Fargo $WFC... new all-time high!
Waste Management $WM...
Wait.
Never mind.

Say what you want about the bull market never ending... but I'm not sure $AMZN breaking below its 200-day moving average would be a check in the "strong bull market evidence" column......

One of the key bullet points on my Market Top Checklist is outperformance from defensive sectors. Utilities $XLU has usually been my go-to, and it's the top performing $SPX sector for the last month! Now other defensive sectors starting to outperform...

🚨 HINDENBURG OMEN ALERT 🚨
Hindenburg Omen fired an initial signal on Friday. This macro technical indicator combines three factors:
1. Market in a confirmed uptrend.
2. A decent number of new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows.
3. Breadth turns negative.
If we get a second signal in the next month 👀

Chaikin Money Flow has been holding above the zero level this week, implying the markets are still in an accumulation phase. But the bearish divergence in recent weeks is very similar to previous market tops. $SPX

How bullish do I want to be when less than half of $SPX members remain above their 50-day moving averages? 🤔
