14 Kas

Not

BLOK RS.

14 Kas

Not

IBIT. not ideal RS in ~July. and not keeping up around september. (bad?)

14 Kas

Not

RING or Gold, clear outperformance ~July. and flying BEFORE september.

14 Kas

Not

oih rally pre november (hint)

14 Kas

Not

SOXX and FAANG rally post september, prob best indicator for value?
biotech and other sectors were on pause. (as a secondary quality).
OIH was choppy in september.

Cyber security has been choppy.

Gold been going hard in september.

BTC choppy but also third bull market year.

14 Kas

Not

the best sectors pre period have an "accumulation" zone, sharp 10/20s.

14 Kas

Not

BLOK/SPX, consistent higher lows and highs.

14 Kas

Not

RING/SPX.
Probably explains the leadership (because demand).

14 Kas

Not

SOXX/spx.

14 Kas

Not

biotech/spx

14 Kas

Not

OIH/SPX outperformance and RIG output.

14 Kas

Not

BTC/SPX (as a risk on gauge?) could signal market top-top?

14 Kas

Not

Homebuilder outperformance and NAIL performance.

14 Kas

Not

Gold outperformance. Not ideal. but could be the "driver"?

14 Kas

Not

Insurance ETF outperformance and UNH. stay away?:)

14 Kas

Not

tech underperforming, probably early sign for top-top? also wasnt the case for FAANG. which was probably the reason why no immediate correction. Follow the money?

14 Kas

Not

last legs for small caps?
I remember using these graphs and would not know how to interpret.

14 Kas

Not

14 Kas

Not

silver and gold.

14 Kas

Not

another dimension could be the steepness of the trend?

14 Kas

Not

TAN underperforms SOXX. maybe could just use /QQQ divide. or /SOXX (best sector)?

14 Kas

Not

Gold outperforms SOXX since early 2024. coincides with beginning of a gold rally. interesting

14 Kas

Not

BLOK outperforming SOXX. MSTR, IREN pos.

14 Kas

Not

recent strength in biotech. LABU

16 Kas

Not

A: Insurance ETF log trend, rallying -> weak UNH, the top for UNH.
B: log trend break. dead sector. imo. second fall for UNH.

16 Kas

Not

energy had a strong 2021-2023

16 Kas

Not

break of the NVDA log trend. -- early indicator for market top.
this is why I love log trends. there's zero bias

16 Kas

Not

and probably worth to keep eye on NVDA in next 2-3 months? what would look like accumulation, could mean beginning of a crash.

16 Kas

Not

SOXX sector lagging behind in late november - probably an early warning sign for stocks (ie the market top?). Maybe that's why such quite stock market in december.

BTC break of a strong trend.

breaking another one would probably mean de-facto stock market top? this week, depending on Wednesdays NVDA earnings- and price action.
100% volatile week imo.
with an uptrendy VIX.

16 Kas

Not

BTC on log trend is at a crucial level.
Weekly charts tell the story. It looks weak. but new upside candle means reversal.

on a monthly chart, even if it rallies, it creates a HNS pattern. which means... volatile months ahead:)

w/ odds 50-50 for ABC correction. 80K BTC.

during "do not touch" period it means lower demand. Lower demand, higher supply - downside pressure, risk.
Besides, critical NVDA earnings in Wednesday. could save btc. imo.

17 Kas

Not

3-day innertia. often coincides with bottoms? Or shows the S/D strength basically?

Confluence is when things fit the 10/20/50. Pattern break-outs?

Confluence coincides with break outs.

17 Kas

Not

same concept with gold.

//Psychologically, hard to switch between euphoria (easy %) and "range bound market". Statistically -- everything that flies -- reverts to mean or average?

Based on Qullamaggie, in this chart. There are two openings?:
-tight range break outs.
-Strong bull markets? ie bull phase.

17 Kas

Not

Macro.

Thinking in systems.

Things move, when it make sense to move.
It make sense why bitcoin rallied in 2023-2025. Or why gold moved. It wasnt the charts.

You think in systems.
When you over-estimate charts, it makes you lose sense of bigger picture.

//When Yields start droping, it cause high demand for small caps, risk on, momentum. It cause the innertia or 1st wave of demand. After some while, there's continuation of 2nd wave... people dont question the cause.
When you think in system, it makes sense why bitcoin topped now based on bigger liquidity cycle.

ie --- where does it make sense for the rich people to allocate capital?
Does anything change in the macro picture? what's different? what changes?

During Euphoria or easy % phase, people stop questioning. because they dont need to.

17 Kas

Not

ive noticed how typically for "most people". Maybe even professionals. Everyone take risk when there's a clear bull market. And they are passive and want to wait during corrections.

You have been told that it's retail investors that buy the last. but it doesnt work in practice.

Markets move based on positioning.

17 Kas

Not

even for every small correction. Typical attitude is to be passive and take risk during break outs, safe places. That has least return.

17 Kas

Not

Measuring S/D strength, using simple 50/200 crossover rule.
Where the exhaust and safe positions would be; VS where the price was. meaning, market showed strength before it was safe.

17 Kas

Not

Gold miner/SPX, 200dma sloping up.

17 Kas

Not

Big money (or pareto 20/80) is made from few spots, that are only seen longterm or using an outside view.
Many pockets have potential to earn. But big money is scarce. (!) Looking at relative basis.

17 Kas

Not

what's interesting. These "key" spots would be once in every year. more or less. Typical crowd consensus was risk aversion, neither greed or fear (no crazy risk taking).

If you do look at these spots near term, you wouldnt spot a difference.

If you study these spots long term -- it's where the big money is. (!)

17 Kas

Not

add the 20/80 influential events, that push the markets.

ie 10/20/50 downside momentum + NVDA earnings ---> predictable weakness?

19 Kas

Not

Bottom FOMO: Element of fear, when you know everyone knows it's the bottom. even if there's slight delay.

20 Kas

Not

best time to be bullish momentum? buying longterm.

I wonder if it rather make sense to be aggressive here, than on top flying stocks.
because here there's less resistance.

than top names like HOOD. etc. that has grown so much.

if you use ponzi analogy. there's more weight applied the higher it goes. ie more resistance. in spite of best % in short term.
I feel like psychology applies there? people that wouldnt sold on the top, might start selling heavily next time it is near ATH.. and many momentum stocks look a like? like PLTR.

20 Kas

Not

best time for momentum.
tuff markets?

and a V-shape bounce.

because of psychology (like stage cycle).

CLSK.

u want to be on things when things go easy. with ease.

20 Kas

Not

btc to prove a point.

20 Kas

Not

maybe that do be the problem with chasing sector leaders or top stocks, ignoring the longterm context?

20 Kas

Not

so this is different right?
