Tech stocks were hit with selling pressure on Thursday and then rebounded along with Treasury bonds on Friday. The narrative seems to be that rising bonds and falling yields are bullish for tech stocks. Regardless of the narrative, several tech related ETFs are holding their breakouts within larger consolidations. Elsewhere, we have SPY hitting a new high within a steady uptrend and IJR leading IWM with a breakout. Defense and 5G ETFs are breaking out of big Ascending Triangles, while UFO is breaking out of a large triangle. EV driven ETFs were strong with CARZ and IDRV breaking out to new highs. We are also seeing strong bids in emerging Asia ETFs (Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia). Details and order of play are shown below:
