The Bears Need To Do This ASAP
|
In case you haven't heard.. The Mag-7 trade is dead. Tech is on its last legs. And the bull market is nearly over. At least, that's what Gold is saying. And Silver. And Energy. And everything else according almost everyone else that has an opinion. Except me. I don't think any of that. Actually, quite the opposite. I think there's a possibility here that we're still very much in the middle of a cyclical bull market which is poised to continue ripping higher. And it all starts with the charts. Consolidation Isn't BearishMaybe it's because we live in a world where we can get almost anything we want within a few key strokes. Or maybe it's because most peoples attention spans run about 7 seconds nowadays. But I'm here to tell you that trends pausing to digest massive moves aren't necessarily bearish. Especially when we're looking to capture the bigger move. Take the NASDAQ (QQQ) for example: QQQ rocketed higher over 55% from early April 2025 until late October 2025.. and since then has built out a symmetrical triangle, a common continuation fractal. Continuation fractals are important to technical traders because they represent opportunities to raise stops, manage risk, and potentially open new positions. More importantly, continuation fractals overwhelmingly resolve in the direction of the primary trend. In this case, that means higher. Is it frustrating to traders and investors who continued trading the Growth trade the same in November, December and January as they did in the summer months last year? Yeah. But that's how this stuff works. Sectors and industries rotate. Capital flows shift to bring lagging areas of the market up while leading areas take time to digest moves. We focus on exactly that inside of TTI.. building the bigger picture, tracking capital flows, and owning the new leadership groups as early as possible. It doesn't mean the Growth trade is over. As a matter of fact.. The Burden Of Proof Is On The BearsIt's easy to be bearish. There's always something to worry about. And always some snake oil salesman selling a doomsday prophecy. We know that they rarely come true. But that doesn't stop people from falling for them. You see.. in primary uptrends, the burden of proof is on the bears as to why the bull market is over. And it's not enough to simply be mad at the market because you're losing money. Why is the current uptrend on the verge of resolving lower? Here's how I am looking at it.. If the bears are right.. and maybe they are.. I think it comes through over the next two weeks as the Mag-7 begin reporting earnings. Here's how they look today: Most of the Mag-7 are down since they peaked as a group in late October 2025. Some were down over 20%. Think about that.. The largest stocks in the world lost over 20% of their market cap and the broader market continued to grind higher.. Does that belong in the bearish bucket? Or the bullish bucket? Here's how the Mag-7 stocks have performed since October 31st 2025: If this bull market is on the verge of collapse.. and the next bear market is around the corner.. We'll know over the next two weeks as the Mag-7 companies begin reporting earnings. Remember.. I care more about how the market reacts to the earnings reports than the earnings reports themselves. And this is a great chance for the largest bulls in the markets to scoop up the best companies in the world at discounted prices. Profits Over Prophets, Hamilton PS.

In Today’s Letter The S&P 500 has entered year 13 of its secular bull market. The last two secular bulls lasted 16 and 20 years. A bad storm doesn’t necessarily mean the season has changed. Every Sunday, I like to take a step back from the day-to-day market and think about the bigger picture. Not what might move tomorrow.. But what could shape markets for the next several quarters and years. The ideas that aren’t front and center. The questions most traders aren’t asking yet. This week,...
In Today’s Letter The Magnificent Seven are moving higher again. But they’ve trailed the S&P 500 since November. This week may be the first sign that leadership is changing. If the Magnificent Seven are so strong.. Why have they been losing to the rest of the market? That question might sound strange. After all, the Magnificent Seven have been moving higher for years. They’re some of the largest and most profitable companies in the world. And this week, they rallied nearly 4%. But going up...
In Today's Letter Bank earnings begin next week. Financial stocks are already making new all-time highs. The market may be telling us what to expect. Next week, the biggest banks in America report earnings. JPMorgan. Bank of America. Goldman Sachs. Wells Fargo. By next Friday afternoon, every financial news outlet will tell you who beat estimates and who didn't. But here's the question I can't stop thinking about.. If traders were truly worried about bank earnings.. why are they buying bank...
