Hey, Ross Givens here! The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are setting up a textbook breakout pattern—one of my favorite setups for explosive short-term gains.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The financial sector has been the top performer in the S&P 500 for months—outpacing tech by a staggering 20-to-1 margin. That’s a massive shift from what we’ve seen for most of this bull market. Sector rotation is driving the market’s recent churn, but most traders don’t recognize what’s happening. And because they don’t see it, they miss the opportunities it creates.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The S&P 500 is forming a classic “bull wedge” pattern—one that could signal a major breakout. The same setup is unfolding in the Nasdaq, adding even more weight to the bullish case. No guarantees, of course, but the odds favor an upside move.

Expect volatility—but that doesn’t mean we can’t turn it into an opportunity.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Bearish sentiment among retail investors just hit its highest level since November 2023—yet the S&P 500 remains near all-time highs.

With new tariff talk over the weekend, will we see the same playbook unfold again? I don’t think so. A major market-moving event later this week could shake things up. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Healthcare stocks went from laggards to leaders—after a rough 2024, XLV is now the top-performing sector in the S&P 500. Some might see this shift as a warning sign, but I see it as fuel for the bull market. Here’s why this rotation is actually a positive—and how we can take advantage of it.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The Russell 2000 has been trading in an upward channel since November 2023, bouncing off support every time it nears the bottom. Right now, it looks like another bounce is underway. And with small-caps still near the lower end of the channel, there’s plenty of upside potential. If history repeats, this could be a prime opportunity. I explain more in today’s Insight.
