Hi Randy! Long time follower and just decided to jump into a membership. Crazy moves in AH with qqq busting through an ATH again. How are the divergences looking on the Qs with this pop? I’m still learning to read them, so would love to see what your thoughts are here. This feels like the final run up before we start seeing the breakdown to me. But I’m here to learn not trade with what something “feels” like haha.

Another note, I’m fairly under on my SOXS call position with SOXX rallying like mad. Is this a still sit tight position until we hit that top stop? Is this a common kind of pop off a t1 zone? I went fairly aggressive here with only a 2 week expiration as these parabolic moves unwind fairly quickly from what I’ve seen over the years.

Thank you! Looking forward to learning more from ya!

What happens tomorrow depends on how investors & traders react to the first 4 of the Mag 8 stocks reporting tonight.

What happens in the coming weeks & months will most likely depend on whether or not oil reverses soon & drops substantially from current levels, that plus 10-30 yr T-bond rates, but then again, they will most likely rise if oil stays high (baking the next resurgence of inflation into the equation)

Just caught my first talk-typo in the video: Around the 1:30 mark, I meant to say that although the Fed will hold tight at this meeting, they should be raising (not lowering) rates, IMO.
