📈 Market Trend

The stock market clearly wants to keep going higher. And for all the back and forth, it does seem that the calls for WW III were highly exaggerated.

I have heard a lot about how the stock market is now for the faint-hearted. But it can also be a place where calculated calm prevails.

Today’s focus chart is the QQQ (NASDAQ 100):

We can see why charts are important. The QQQ price ripped higher and closed exactly on the resistance level which happens to be the consolidation level from last time’s high. So, we are there.

The only question is whether price first comes down to fill the gap from yesterday or just does not care to do that. I will not be surprised if the gap from yesterday becomes a breakaway gap - meaning does not get filled for now.


📊 Position Overview

  • Yesterday was a good day overall even though

    • CRCL disappointed being down -15%. What compensated were

    • CONL +24%,

    • ROBN +15%,

    • COIN +12% and

  • Capital Deployed: Moved up to 67% from 65%.

  • Changes yesterday: Added CRCL (another long portion) and sold GLD call spreads. More details on these below.

  • Trade Bias: All trades are long trades. Long stock/ETF 72%; Call spreads 28%
