They Bought The Tech Sector Last Week
|
Six of the top ten names in my scoring system on Friday were tech stocks. Not energy. Tech. Let that sit for a second. Last Wednesday I wrote about how EQRR was really an energy bet in disguise. On Tuesday it was about how no bull market survives without banks stepping up. Both of those pieces came from the same place.. following where the money actually goes. And on Friday, the money went to tech. Our Flow Score picked up seven hits in the top 20 names in our universe. SATL: 83. SNX: 83. PL: 81. TSEM: 81. MRVL: 81. DOCN: 79. FSLY: 79. That’s not one or two names poking above the noise. That’s a cluster. Seventeen tech stocks scored above 70 in the data I track on Friday. Seventeen. Now look at the ETF flows. XLK has pulled in nearly +$425M over the last week. That made it the only sector ETF with meaningful weekly inflows. Meanwhile.. XLE lost -$871M on the week. Everyone’s still talking about oil and the Strait of Hormuz.. while the rotation into tech might already be underway and the crowd hasn’t caught on yet. Listen, I get it.. tech has been a tough trade over the last couple of months. Buyers are exhausted. Many are moving on. Here's where it gets interesting though.. Our flow scoring system doesn’t care about narratives. It tracks where capital is actually moving. And right now capital is moving into names like MRVL, a $93 billion dollar semiconductor company. That’s not some microcap getting pushed around by one fund. That’s real, institutional sized flow. And it's the complete opposite of what we've been tracking over the last couple of months. DELL scored a 73. CIEN scored a 73. These aren’t meme stocks. These are infrastructure plays tied to data centers and networking buildouts that haven’t stopped just because the market got scared. The pattern is familiar. Before the last major tech run, the scores lit up weeks before the sector ETF caught a bid. The big money was already in position. Then the headlines caught up. Then everyone piled in. I don't just talk about this stuff. I put my money where my mouth is. I opened a new position in INTC today. The first one worked. And INTC continues to be one of the best performing large cap semiconductor names in the market. The full trade alert with entry, risk levels, and contract details went out to Market Blueprint members this afternoon. I’m not saying last weeks data means tech rips from here in a straight line. One week of inflows doesn’t make a trend. But when the scoring system starts flashing this many tech names at once.. and the only sector ETF absorbing real money is XLK.. that’s worth paying attention to. Especially when everyone else is looking at everything else right now. Something always shifts in the data before the chart confirms it. By the time the chart looks obvious, the move is half done. Watch this one. Profits Over Prophets, Hamilton PS — Want to see the full scoring breakdown every week? Market Blueprint gives you the numbers, the framework, and the watchlist. No guessing.

NVDA vs MAGS just broke out to new highs. After nearly two years of nothing.. the king of all stocks is leading the Mag 7 higher again. Think about that.. Nvidia vs Mag-7, NVDA/MAGS, Weekly The last time NVDA lead higher in this ratio was April 2023. You might remember what happened next. From April 2023 to June 2024: QQQ ran 55%. NVDA ran nearly 400%. The semiconductor industry group ran over 125%. That's not a rally. That's a regime. Here's why this matters.. the NVDA/MAGS ratio is the...
Intel (INTC) is at all-time highs afterhours. September 2025. INTC broke $26 and the Flow Score triggered a buy on a name nobody wanted. We opened the first position.. targeted the January 2026 contracts.. and we've been in the trade continuously ever since. Not a new call. Not a fresh trade. A continuous position held through one of the most hated stocks on the tape. Seventeen days ago I wrote a piece called They Bought The Tech Sector Last Week. I showed you the data. Seven tech names in...
EEM is up 13.6% year to date. SPY is up 1.7%. Let that sit for a second. The thing nobody wanted to own.. the thing that underperformed for a decade.. the thing your advisor told you to ignore.. is lapping the S&P 500 by nearly 12 percentage points this year. And the gap is accelerating. Not AI. Not mega-cap tech. Not the Magnificent 7. Emerging markets. Here's why this matters.. Two months ago I wrote a piece called Smart Money Is Diversifying Outside of the USA. In it, I showed the EEM/SPY...
