Signs of rotation suddenly appeared in the markets with the Treasury bond ETFs falling sharply and the 10-yr yield surging. The Dollar followed yields higher, while the Gold SPDR followed bonds lower. Within the stock market, we saw strength in banks lift small-caps and weakness in XLY and XLK weigh on the S&P 500 SPDR. Elsewhere, the S&P 500 EW ETF and S&P MidCap 400 SPDR are going for breakouts, the Semiconductor ETFs are leading, the EV ETFs broke out and the Sports Betting iGaming ETF surged. Today’s video will also address the difference between discretionary analysis and systematic signals using the Regional Bank ETF as an example because it broke out as StochClose triggered bearish.
