Never seen this before. Huge drop in NAAIM with market at all time highs.

@ChastainHa12409 @dvandenbord @RevereAsset Thanks Harold!

@dvandenbord @RevereAsset Connor and Ted were so sharp and wise on IBD last night. They are Revere’s best advertising.

CONNOR & TED from @RevereAsset make their IBD DEBUT TODAY AFTER THE CLOSE 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

📺 “Honey Badger” Market – Ride It Until It Lasts Please ❤️like and 🔁share with fellow growth stock investors In today's market update, @dvandenbord notes that the market remains firmly in an uptrend, with leaders strong and all major indexes trending above their key moving averages. However, there is the first warning – $QQQ is now 4 ATR above its 21-day moving average. That’s historically extended — a sign of short-term overheating, but not yet a reason to short. It’s a signal to stop chasing and manage risk. * So, we follow this playbook right now: don't buy extended names, raise stops daily, and let winners run, but tighten risk control. You’re not trying to be early this way – you’re trying to stay in the move as long as possible. * On Wednesday, despite the hot PPI numbers, $SPX shrugged it off and closed green, pushing to all-time highs. “Honey Badger" market simply doesn’t care. Liquidity + momentum are driving this market (for now). – $SPX continues to ride the 8 EMA for ~30 sessions. Strong, steady uptrend and a textbook momentum structure. – $QQQ is a clear leader, driven by big-cap tech. Strong relative strength vs everything else, but highly extended. – Dow Jones $DJIA is consolidating below 50,000. Not leading, but not breaking. – $IWM is mixed but improving. Holding 2,800 breakout and riding 21 EMA, which is constructive. – $RSP equal-weight is lagging badly. Confirms narrow market leadership. This continues to be a top-heavy rally, not broad participation. – $VIX ~17, potentially heading to 16, with S&P 500 ATR below 1%. This is a low-volatility melt-up environment with a smooth trend, shallow pullbacks, hard to short, easy to stay long. – Silver ($SLV) is showing strength (breaking higher), Gold ($GLD) is still lagging below the 50-day, while Gold Miners ($GDX) are trying to break out. Commodities may be waking up, but not dominant yet. Watching this closely. – #Bitcoin ($IBIT) is riding the 21-day higher but volatility is compressing while institutions are stabilizing price action. This usually precedes another leg higher, not a top. * Portfolio Changes In Grotection, we cut a laggard $CCJ, trimmed exposure in $TNA, added to $TWLO $CRDO, and bought $MRVL. Our $TWLO thesis – x.com/RevereAsset/st…. Our thoughts on $MRVL and overall $SOXX sector – x.com/RevereAsset/st…. In Turbotection, we started new positions in $AAOI $NXT. Our strategy remains: rotate into leaders, cut what’s not working, and stay aligned with momentum. * So, this is a classic late-stage momentum environment: trend = strong, breadth = weak, leaders = concentrated (big tech), volatility = low, and macro = ignored. Stay long for now, ride the trend, don’t fight it. Let the market decide when it’s over. * If you find this helpful, please ❤️like and 🔁retweet

$NASI $NYSI Hooking down

Worth noting the weakness in breadth the past few days. Something to monitor.

$AAOI Ascending base breakout

Weak Breadth yet themes firing on all cylinders Memory, Fiber Optics, Semis, Neoclouds, Space, Power, Copper, Etc ++ But with that said probably due for rotation day into value here soon.

@FloridaTrader2 @IBDinvestors Thanks!

@ConnorJBates_ @IBDinvestors Thank you for sharing. Good job guys.

Looking forward to Investing with IBD podcast later @IBDinvestors

With the market up so much, it's easy to focus on how much money you're making and how much more you plan to make. But what about the downside risk? Excited to get the guys from Revere, @ConnorJBates_ and @TedHZhang on to talk about their rules and process. Live at 5 ET today!

The market has now gone up for 25 days with below average volume. To me, this is a non issue as I know that light volume for longer on indexes suggests better performance, here's why: Since Inception: - There are 13 instances where $SPY reflects its current stretch - The average return during these periods is 7.16% - The largest gain was 20.71% (2009) - The last 4 instances have all been within 1% of each other (around 9.5%) - There were no negative data points Many believe that we need overwhelming volume to indicate strength. While this is often true on individual names breaking out or power gapping, it is not the case for indexes. The data suggests that some of the best performance windows in the market come with light volume. "Troops can make up a lot of ground if there is no one fighting back."
