"75% of all net new 52-week lows are coming from defensive sectors..." Cool chart by @DualityResearch. Saw it on @TheChartReport!

how people who have been short $TLT been sleeping

Going into the big week 2 from the 50-week SMA flip. bitcoin:native is currently up ~7% off the move, looking to see the continuation well into the coming months. Q4 is going to be explosive. What do you think bitcoin:native is going to be up in 90 days?

If everything was red, then I'd be worried (h/t @finviz_com, love the equal-weight view)

Guys

Going back to 1950, midterm years show a pretty consistent September-October dip before a rally into and after elections. Some weakness here into October wouldn't be surprising. $SPY $SPX

And $XLK averages a 1.76% return in October over the last 10 years

Tech saw some rotation following the Fed's decision to cut rates. $XLK

Technology ( $XLK ) made new 100-day highs last week.

"Dumbledore's Farewell" has to be a top 50 OST I don't even care 😭

Peak

Taking advantage of the fall weather and going kayak fishing. Anyone have any tips? HAGW

Momentum has worked over the past couple of years. Although it hasn't been a straight line, you've been much better off chasing the leaders than the laggards.

Bonds…

Most traders are doing this backwards. They find a random stock on FinTwit, check if it looks cool, then buy it hoping for the best. I did that for years.. back when mIRC was still a thing. Lost more money than I care to admit. Then I figured out something stupidly simple that changed everything. You need three things before you ever risk a dollar: 1. Trend - Is price actually moving in the direction you want? 2. Relative Strength - Is this stock beating everything else you could buy? 3. Momentum - Is it accelerating or slowing down? That's it. For trend, I just want price above the 20, 50, and 200-day moving averages. All three sloping up. Yeah, the slope thing from 8th grade math actually matters. Upward sloping moving averages tell you the trend has durability. For relative strength, I compare the stock against the market, its sector, its industry, and its top peers. If it's not beating all of them, I don't want it. Why would I buy something underperforming when I could buy the actual leader? For momentum, I need to see acceleration. The fastest horse in the race. A Lamborghini on empty doesn't win anything no matter how good it looks. Here's how it actually works out: We bought $RNG at 46.50 using this exact process. It's up over 70% now. Four year base breakout, stacked moving averages, leading software and tech, momentum firing on all cylinders. Here's the tweet from the day it broke out: nitter.net/capitalflows/status/20… Not every trade works. But the ones that do pay for the losers ten times over. The hard part isn't finding one winner. It's building a system you can repeat forever. That's what separates people who get lucky once from people who actually make money long-term. What's your process for finding stocks? Do you even have one or are you just winging it?

Most people on X were not actively trading pre-1981 so almost no one has any experience in this environment. Why do you think all of the guys with 40 years of exp trading bonds have been getting nuked for the last six years?
