Reading Between the Lines — Why It Matters More Than Ever
You may have noticed the newsletter landing in your inbox on Monday instead of Sunday lately — and that’s intentional. I’ve been waiting for the Monday market action to finish before sharing my thoughts, because in this market, timing and context matter more.
📰 The News Trigger (Today’s Market Dip)
Today, the market pulled back.
SPY was down over $4, and headlines pointed toward renewed Trump tariffs and escalating trade tensions. [Trump Announces…]
🥱 Another day, another scare… or so it seems.
Here’s the thing:
We’ve seen recycled news cycles for months now — from tariffs, to overseas conflicts, to domestic unrest — and yet the market keeps grinding higher.
That’s a signal.
💡 Reading Between the Lines
Here’s what I’m seeing:
Despite the bad news over and over again, the market has shown strength and resilience.
This kind of short-term pullback is common during broader bullish trends.
It’s often used to shake out weak hands, create temporary fear, and give institutions better entries.
$SPX ( ▼ 0.79% ) is trading at 6229. I still think that 6600 is possible in the next 6-9 months, if the same cycle continues.
🧠 Quick Recap of Our Recent Moves
$BABA is up $30 since our entry
Palantir ($PLTR) is up over $100 from when we bought
$CHWY is up $15+
Mid- and small-caps are mostly trading flat, holding levels
We've also captured ~100 points in futures trades over the past month
We’re not just watching the market — we’re participating with logical equity swings, not emotion. (Equity swings are 9-12+ month swings)
📊 So What Now?
On days like today, it’s tempting to panic. But fear-based headlines don’t change the technical structure overnight. This feels like another recycled “bad news” event meant to shake the tree.
My current market stance:
Bullish Neutral — aware of resistance, respecting pullbacks, but not buying fear.
