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.
