Stock Surge Indicators

Hey, Ross here! I’ve been watching a key chart: the QQQ/DJI ratio. It tracks how much the Nasdaq 100 is outperforming the Dow—and right now, it’s falling fast. That tells me we’re seeing a rotation out of big tech and into other areas of the market. It’s catching a lot of traders off guard. But if you understand what this shift means, you can stay ahead of the curve. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! The Nasdaq jumped 6.9% last month, with the S&P 500 not far behind at 5.3%—marking two straight months of powerful gains. That kind of follow-through, especially after a dip, usually signals more strength ahead. Net new highs stayed green nearly every day, and seasonality is working in our favor. I expect this bull market to keep running for another 6–18 months. The key now is knowing where the biggest, fastest-moving opportunities are—and I lay out exactly where to look in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! I dug into every time the S&P 500 staged a V-shaped rebound—bouncing from a big dip to a new high within three months. The results paint a clear picture: short-term chop is common, but longer-term gains are the norm. In most cases, two to twelve months out, the market continues higher. That’s the kind of setup I look for—when the price action creates a classic positioning opportunity. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! I’ve been watching the RSP – the Equal Weight S&P 500 – and it’s flashing a textbook setup. Unlike the traditional S&P, this version gives every stock equal say, which gives us a much better sense of how the average stock is really doing. Right now, RSP is coiling tightly just below resistance… and bumping up against it more and more often. That’s classic pre-breakout behavior. I explain what that could mean for the broader market in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! Everyone’s talking about Nvidia hitting new all-time highs—and sure, that’s impressive. But what really caught my eye is the ARK Innovation ETF quietly hitting a new 52-week high. That fund is packed with speculative names, so when it breaks out, it tells me the market is shifting into full “risk-on” mode. The kicker? Retail sentiment still hasn’t caught up. I dig into what that disconnect means—and how we can take advantage of it—in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! The Nasdaq 100 just hit a new all-time high—and it did it in just 86 trading days after a 20% drawdown. That’s the third-fastest recovery in history. And while the headlines stay focused on the Middle East, I’m watching the real signal: market strength across the board. New highs aren’t just limited to the big names—breadth has been strong for weeks. I break down what this means (and why it matters right now) in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! I’ve talked about the NFCI before—it’s one of my favorite under-the-radar indicators for spotting what’s really happening in the market. Right now, it’s flashing bullish. We’re seeing the loosest monetary conditions in over three years, which means there’s plenty of liquidity in the system. That’s fuel for higher prices. And while Trump’s ceasefire announcement gave markets a jolt, the real story is unfolding beneath the surface. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross here! Investor sentiment often says more about politics than price action. In today’s chart, you’ll see how bullish expectations shift based on which party holds the White House. Right now, Republican optimism is surging, while Democrat sentiment has collapsed to panic levels. I’m not here to debate politics—but I am here to help you understand how this emotional bias warps market data. In today’s Insight, I break down what this means for smart investors (and how to use it to your advantage).

Hey, Ross here! Yesterday’s market action told a clear story—steady gains in the morning, followed by a sharp reversal after Trump’s fiery message about Iran. The selloff pushed major indexes down nearly 1%, and with Powell speaking today, we could see more volatility ahead. Meanwhile, retail investors have quietly been selling for three weeks straight. In today’s Insight, I break down what this shift means—and where I think we’re headed next.

Hey, Ross here! I just pulled a chart that compares investor sentiment to how close the S&P 500 is to all-time highs—and the gap right now is striking. Historically, when we’re this close to new highs, the bulls dominate. But not this time. Sentiment is dragging far behind the market, and that creates opportunity. In today’s Insight, I’ll break down what this disconnect means—and how I’m playing it.

Hey, Ross here! I’ve gone back through decades of data to see how the S&P 500 performed after major geopolitical shocks - everything from Pearl Harbor to Brexit. What I found was clear: markets usually bounce back quickly, unless there’s a bigger economic crisis at play. And right now, I don’t see one. In today’s Insight, I’ll show you why history says stay the course and ignore the fear.
