Hey Google and Softee, is That Your IQ or How Many Friends You Have?
The latest chase into the "Magnificent 7" names has seen GOOGL and MSFT, respectively below on their updated daily charts, melt to new highs as bulls have attained a new level for their aura of invincibility amid weakness in Micron, NVDA, semis at large, not to mention names like CMG MA V. However, I am looking for the intraday fades in GOOGL...

It's Supposed to Be Non-Judgmental Intervention!

This is the primary driver behind the vast amount of cherry-picking going on right now be it from bulls, bears, doves, or hawks. But my main takeaway...

Amid the Daily Melt-Up, Homebuilders Are Done
Despite beating estimates, homebuilder Lennar (first daily chart, below) is being sold fairly aggressively on lowered forward guidance. After an epic rally from last Halloween 2023 into April of this year, the XHB (second daily chart, below) sector ETF for the homebuilders finally cooled off. Many assumed it was a mere pauses which refreshes...

The Curious Case of Bifurcation
Great visual, below, of just how bifurcated this market has become. Bifurcation is a concept that we have noted with Members in more depth. Simply put, it refers to the market losing its discipline beyond the standard "winners versus losers" you often see in capitalism. Instead, when the winners (tech, the blue line) become narrow and crowded...
