Fed Day Breadth Surge
Hey, Ross Givens here! The S&P 500 just posted its best Fed Day since July 2024, climbing 1.08% and fueling the breadth surge that kicked off last Friday. With 41% of stocks now above their 200-day moving average, momentum is building—but there’s still work to be done. Volatility isn’t going away, but the signs are pointing in the right direction. I break it all down in today’s Insight.
When Uncertainty Peaks
Hey, Ross Givens here! AI mentions on S&P 500 earnings calls just spiked again. After plateauing for most of 2024, companies are ramping up discussions—likely due to rapid advancements in LLMs and AI agents. When the market gets choppy, it pays to focus on the real drivers of growth. And right now, AI remains one of the biggest catalysts out there.
This Market Catalyst is Still There

Follow Through Required
Hey, Ross Givens here! The S&P 500’s Put-Call ratio just spiked above 0.93x—something that has historically signaled strong gains ahead. Every time this has happened since 2009, the index was higher six months later, with a median gain of 13%. On top of that, seasonality is on our side. Markets tend to dip in March and bottom mid-month before rebounding. If history repeats, last Friday could mark the turning point. Nothing is guaranteed, but if we see follow-through this week, I like the odds.
Impending Recession?
Hey, Ross Givens here! If a recession were looming, you’d expect S&P 500 companies to be sounding the alarm on their earnings calls. But that’s not happening. In fact, mentions of “recession” are at their lowest levels in years. That doesn’t mean a downturn is impossible, but it does tell us that the companies driving the economy aren’t worried. Don’t let the fear-mongering headlines distract you—I break it all down in today’s Insight.
Zoom Out and Look at This
Hey, Ross Givens here! Market pullbacks happen every year—it’s just part of the game. This chart tracks the S&P 500’s largest annual pullbacks since 1980, and guess what? The current dip in 2025 isn’t unusual at all. In fact, it’s in line with last year’s and much smaller than 2023’s. The key takeaway? Zoom out, keep perspective, and don’t let short-term noise shake you out of good trades. I break it all down in today’s Insight.
