Gold, Bonds, and Transitions.
Many traders handle trend breaks and transition like a pendulum swing — that if we’re not long, we must be short — and in this video I explain that approach is going to bring misery and bad entries.

Today I’m focusing on a move higher in both the Sector SPDR utilities sector, XLU, and one of its companies — EXC. Let’s look at the technical patterns and squeezes across multiple time frames.
The S&P has been pretty stagnant between 2,885 and 2,915 — and many of the tickers we are looking at just continue to squeeze. While it’s slow, that also means they will break out — in a big way. I’m looking at earnings to be that primary catalyst for the breakout. Tomorrow, we will get results from UNH, BAC, JNJ, and NFLX, which will move the market in a critical way. Let’s look at these, and review AMZN, ADBE, ETSY, NKE, PANW, SNBR, SQ, TWLO, YETI, and more….
Why is it important to wait for the NQ to trigger entries? It’s the weighting.
Relative performance scans are a trend follower’s friend when it comes to being selective and putting a first class watchlist together. I cover that and the three types of calendars I refer to daily.
In today’s video, we look at what caused the big gap higher today to get us past SPX 2900.
