Commentary…
We saw some minor pullbacks yesterday but it was healthy and exactly what I wanted to see after I sold most of my winners on Wednesday morning when they were looking exhausted. Then we get some pullbacks to the 5d ema where I start to reload my positions which I started doing yesterday when I got back into PLTR and NVDA, then end of day I got into MELI and TTWO as they pushed through prior resistance. I was ~130% invested at the highs on Wednesday morning, then got own to ~30% yesterday at the lows and then coming into today I’m at ~63%. Over the past few months Friday’s have not been the best but Monday’s have been superb so I’m less scared about taking 80-100% exposure into the weekend but I’d almost never take more than 100% into the weekend.
Macro looks good right now with Q3 earnings in the rear view mirror, CPI coming in lower, PPI coming in lower, FOMC on hold, VIX at ~14, Oil in the low $70s, and most importantly the 10Y now hovering around 4.4% which is down 60+ bps from a few weeks ago. I still think we’re setup for a year end rally but we need to stick with the leaders, the companies that had the strongest Q3 reports because they’re the ones that will see the most outperformance over the next 6 weeks as big funds chase them higher to window dress their portfolios for those year end statements and factsheets.
Next week will be lighter volume because of the holiday week so we could see more volatility in either direction.

Market performance…
$TNX — (10Y) is trading below 4.40% this morning for the first time in ~2 months however the real test will be what happens at 4.36% which is not only the unfilled gap from September but it's also the August highs. If $TXN slices through 4.36% it's very possible we drop quickly down to ~4.06% with the 200d at ~4.00%
$VIX — not much fear in the markets right now, which means puts are probably cheap
$CL1! — oil in the $70s is good for the inflation story
