In this week’s episode
Dip buyers returned quickly this week as macro pressure eased and AI leadership held firm. The pullback was shallow, the Russell 2000 bounced from a key level, and semiconductors regained momentum after Nvidia earnings.
But the tape is not a clean all-clear. Breadth remains mixed, crypto is still lagging, and quiet rotation is showing up in healthcare, real estate, and utilities. This episode breaks down where strength is broadening and where traders still need discipline.
