Tech sector breadth is rapidly improving: 75% of S&P 500 technology sector stocks finished above their 200-day moving average last week, the highest percentage since October 2024. This marked the first time in 219 trading days that this threshold was reached, ending the 9th-longest streak on record. By comparison, the longest stretch during which fewer than 75% of tech stocks traded above their 200-day moving average lasted 759 trading days, ending on April 22, 2003, following the Dot-Com Bubble burst. Historically, each time such a streak ended, the technology sector returned +2.5% on average over the following month and +7.3% over the next 3 months.

Everyone has a different trading style, and not everyones trading style works well with person to person. I typically have two trades I take and I stick to them. Those trades are also heavily context dependent. For example, not really having traded crypto for the past year. Just like staying out in prev bear markets is bc of the context/macro trends. One is a defensive trade, other is reclaim at what I call historical supports. But the reclaim itself isnt as important to me as is the history of the spot. The defensive trade is at a htf spot with a sharp sell off that isn't looking for a trend reversal but a lower high. While the reclaim is typically an end to end trade. Core postions are a bit different in the fact that something i have conviction in. The core doesnt get touched, but I will trade around the core on a different brokerage in order to. Llower the effective cost average, or accumulate more shares. The core itself is a longer term belief where as 90% of what I trade means nothing to me at all. So there are both low time frame, and high time frames trades and beliefs. I will post some examples of the actual style with context. But again there are some things you just cant really describe. Like gut. There's a lot of thoughts and feelings that go into buying and selling that you can't put on paper.
