Retreating Leadership

Published August 14, 2023

Hey, Ross here:

Welcome to the start of a new trading week. Let’s review what happened last week – and where I see the market going from here.

Chart of the Day

Leadership is retreating…

As I often talk about, every bull market has a “theme” – a specific sector or group of stocks that lead the rest of the market.

This one has been no different. And the theme is artificial intelligence.

Stocks with exposure to AI have been the top performers in 2023. Meta, Nvidia, Super Micro Computer, MongoDB, and several others have all seen spectacular gains this year.

These are the market leaders… the institutional favorites… the Wall Street darlings… whatever you want to call them.

When these stocks begin to pull back, the rest of the market does too. So, we always want to keep an eye on them.

Last week, leadership began to weaken. NVDA, MDB, AAPL, AVGO and a few others closed below their 21-day EMA for the first time in months (see chart).

As I’ve been saying over and over again – this is both normal and expected. Stocks do not go straight up.

I believe we’re still in a bull market, and that all this is just prices “resetting” to digest the rapid upward price action we’ve seen and knock the froth off the market.

And as the Insight of the Day shows, there’s a way we can intelligently take advantage of this retreating market leadership.

Insight of the Day

Certain market conditions favor certain strategies

When market leadership is retreating, we can use it as “proving grounds” for the next winners.

If the selloff in AI and software stocks continues, what will take its place as the next hot sector?

Which names are holding up the best? Which tickers are pulling back the least and doing so on the lightest volume?

These are the questions smart traders ask during times like these – because these are the questions that will help us spot the winners on the next leg higher.

My analyst and I are watching the markets closely to see where money – especially the big institutional money – is flowing.

If you want to stay updated on where these flows are going – here’s how you can do so.

Embrace the surge,

Even Bill Gates himself has said that generative AI has “peaked” and that the next version of ChatGPT won’t be much better than the current version.

So where will the next wave of AI innovation – and profits – come from?

I'm a new member of 'Insider Effect' and sent a support email and was responded to within minutes. It starts very well.

I'm happy I recently opted in to the Ross Givens's Trading Club at Traders Agency (at the best and fairest offer I could possibly get). I'm new to trading U.S. stocks and options on a regular basis but it doesn't matter, Ross does all of the hard work for me while I'm trading at my own pace (he knows how to trade successfully most of the time and I know that I won't win every trade. Fair enough). He and his great team share a lot of their trading experience in live sessions. Great job. Thanks a lot!

I started with Ross Givens and Trader's Agency GOLD in September of this year and have had some significant success on all but one of the trades he suggested. I have actually made 157% in profits over what I paid to join Traders Agency within my first 30 days. I am no stock expert and I want to know more about how to invest in the market. Ross's videos and strategy sessions are very insightful, and you can chat during the sessions to get his feedback. He's got all the tools at his disposal and has set up some good algorithms in order to help one understand the chaos and fundamentals to watch for in order to make a good investing decision. I have had other investment "helpers" that never yielded what I have within such a limited amount of time. I think Ross, and his team, is the "Real Deal"
