While everyone was distracted by earnings noise, $MSFT just finalized a decade-level structural signal: $MSFT officially printed a monthly 8/21ema bearish cross this week. This has happened only 4 other times since its 1986 IPO... Every single occurrence coincided with a major macro regime change: > 2000: The dot-com peak > 2006: The top of the housing bubble > 2008: The GFC acceleration > 2022: The end of the zero interest rate policy era And 2026 is now the 5th time: The global energy crisis. Trends at this scale move slowly, but they are the most objective indicators of capital flow. Given Microsoft's index weight, this breakdown represents a significant structural headwind for both $SPY and $QQQ. It's a sign of things to come. (8ema🟠/ 21ema🟣/ bearish cross🟥)

The Nasdaq $NDX breakout began today. The speed of this rally is absolutely insane, likely getting us back to the trendline by next week. The question is what happens when we get there? The 25 year parabolic is curling backward in time.

A historic earnings boom is developing. Estimates growing faster than they did in the mid-90s or late internet bubble years. Only covid recovery period saw a greater inflection. This boom is unique b/c it is not coming off an EPS drawdown (recovery).

Almost no one uses this chart correctly... but it's one of the best ways to tell if a move up will continue or fail. The answer becomes very apparent for the current $QQQ and $SPY move when you look at the internal structure under a different light: This is a daily chart of the percentage of $SPY stocks above the 50 day moving average. I removed the candlesticks because what matters most is not the actual raw percentage, but the interaction between its own moving averages. Specifically the 10ema🟠 and 200sma🟢 for the percentage itself. The last time the 10ema struggled to get above the 200sma following a deep move in breadth was Feb 2025 prior to the tariff selloff. We are seeing that same failed expansion pattern happening right now. Conversely, in order for a move up to fully sustain, the 10ema needs to slice above the 200sma with absolute ease like it did back in May 2025 during the recovery. That is clearly not the case currently. This doesn't necessarily mean the exact top, but when internal momentum stalls against long-term moving averages while also making lower highs, it's worth paying attention to.

The US oil export ban is no longer a tail risk; it’s now the base case. As crude tanker and US midstream charts break down while PADD 3 refineries show strength, a major policy shift appears imminent. Most concerning are the death cross and bear flag in the PAA/USO ratio - this divergence between logistics and commodity is a massive warning sign. $FRO $PAA $USO $XLE $VLO Technical study for educational purposes; not financial advice or a trade signal.

The $RSP 4 hour chart is also on the verge of an 8/21ema bearish cross. The last time we saw this structural breakdown was March 4th, the beginning of the March $SPY correction. Internal momentum is diverging across the board.
