Hey, Ross Givens here! Institutional investors and individual traders are moving in opposite directions again. Today’s chart shows retail bullishness dropping while institutional confidence holds steady. At the same time, retail bearishness is spiking, but institutional pessimism is fading. This kind of divergence doesn’t happen often—and when it does, it usually presents a major opportunity. The question is, which side is right this time? I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! March market trends follow a clear pattern. Historically, fund flows into the S&P 500 are weak in the first half of the month—often leading to choppy markets and deeper pullbacks. But that changes in the back half, when inflows surge. This isn’t a guarantee, but it’s a strong probability. So if the market keeps dipping in the coming weeks, don’t panic—expect it. In fact, I’m already eyeing key buy zones to take advantage of the pullback. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Investor sentiment just hit an extreme. According to the latest AAII poll, over 60% of individual investors are bearish—far higher than during last year’s market pullback. Meanwhile, bulls have dropped below 20%. Fear is normal, but this level of pessimism? The numbers say it’s overblown. And when the crowd gets too negative, opportunity isn’t far behind.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The market pulled back yesterday—but take a closer look. This chart shows that 461 more stocks advanced than declined on the NYSE. That’s not the kind of action you see in a true market breakdown. As I always say, you have to look beneath the surface. And when you do, you’ll spot the opportunity hiding in plain sight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! February has a well-earned reputation for market turbulence, and this year is no exception. Today’s chart shows 75 years of S&P 500 performance trends, and right on cue, the second half of the month is bringing the usual weakness. If recent dips have caught you off guard, don’t be—this pattern is playing out almost perfectly. The real question is how to use it to your advantage. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! So far in 2025, the S&P 500 has shown a clear weekly pattern—Wednesdays are massively bullish, while Fridays are just as bearish. If the market moved every day like an average Wednesday, we’d be up 90% for the year. But Fridays? That would mean an 86% decline. The numbers are extreme, but the takeaway is simple—this pattern isn’t random. I explain what’s driving it in today’s Insight.
