The most asked question right now has Bitcoin bottomed?

The most asked question right now has Bitcoin bottomed?

Let me share my process how I use to identify market bottoms. I look for three things:

  1. A strong support level.
  2. Positive momentum divergence.
  3. A key EMA reclaim.

Let me walk through Bitcoin right now.

  1. A Strong Support at $60k

This is where the breakout happened in September 2024. That breakout was impulsive - taking price from roughly $60K to $100K. That level doesn't just disappear. It becomes the floor. Major breakout levels often become strong support on future pullbacks, and that’s exactly what we’re testing now

  1. Positive RSI divergence confirmed

Price dropped from 60k to 58k. Meanwhile RSI went from 27 to 33. Price made a lower low but momentum didn't. That's the divergence. That's the signal.

Weekly 21EMA reclaim - still pending

The 21EMA has been declining and acting as strong resistance on every pop. January 2026, May 2026 - both moves topped right there. This is the third condition and it hasn't been met yet.

But here's the thing about that third condition - by the time it gets reclaimed, price is usually already 15-20% higher. You won't get a clean entry waiting for confirmation.

Most times I only need two of the three cues to press the gas.

Two are already in.

I've been a long term holder since 2020. Watched this thing give 1000% from my entry.

If I wasnt already in- I would be dipping toes especially now that it is 50% cheaper.

Never forget DCA has been one of the best known strategies ever

S&P 500 Leaders are in a correction.

The S&P 500 leaders are finally seeing some profit taking after an extended run. That’s normal. Strong trends don’t move in a straight line.

These are the key support levels I’m watching:

$WDC — 517

$SNDK — 1550

$GLW — 190

$MRVL — 225

$MU — 950

$DELL — 360

$INTC — 110

If buyers defend these levels, the next leg higher could begin.

The best way to learn is studying setups in real time.

$QQQ - Here's my take.

Nasdaq filled the gap and turned lower. Classic gap fill reaction. Upper gaps act as resistance, lower gaps act as support. We know this. ✍️

Today we pulled back to $725. That's horizontal support that acted as resistance last week. It also aligned with the 9EMA pullback which is perfectly normal price action.

What I'm seeing is a very controlled consolidation since May. $QQQ has been dancing in a 40-point range.

Here's the sequence:

Market ripped from April to mid-May without stopping. Next stage after any strong move is sideways and backfill. That's exactly where we are.

Short term upside target: $738.
The real move starts once we clear $740. That ends the consolidation and we break out.

$SPY breakout level is $750. Already holding up well. Same consolidation pattern as Nasdaq.

July is historically a bullish month. And with indices refusing to break below support despite all the negative headlines, the market is sending one message:
"I want to go higher."

One thing to keep in mind - it won't be a straight shot up like April. The market is trading more normally now. Pullbacks will keep showing up. Don't be surprised by them.

That's it. Keeping it simple.
These analyses take real time to put together. If you found this helpful, share it with someone who needs it. Takes two seconds and means a lot.

Here’s a tip that’ll change how you watch sectors:

Semis were close to rolling over. Then they woke up.

Most people weren’t paying attention to how clean the 21EMA retest on $SMH actually was.

When the ETF is testing its 21EMA, look at the individual stocks within that theme that are front-running it. Those are the names screaming “I am a good buy” before the crowd even notices.

That’s exactly what happened with Chips and AI names

$AMD $INTC $MRVL $DELL $NBIS $GNRC $BE $MU

Sell your laggards when market rally’s. You dont want to sit on them

One thing the market has taught me is this:

You don’t make your year by trading every day.

You make your year by being ready when opportunity finally shows up.

Most days, your job is to watch your positions and decide which ones are you keeping and which ones are you rotating out of.

Some days, your job is to buy when everyone else is uncomfortable.

You size up when Index hits major support,
You take chips off at resistances

The hard part is accepting that every phase requires a different mindset.

Your job is to be ahead of others. Use cues to your advantage and constantly shift your mindset.

The 21EMA is the cleanest pullback level in trading.

Most traders panic at pullbacks.
The best ones build their watchlist.

12 leaders pulling back or near their 21EMA right now. This is where the cleanest entries get made.

$AMD $ARM $INTC $MRVL $LITE $DELL $NBIS $HUT $GNRC $BE $HOOD $RDDT

Here's the rule that took me years to learn:

- Leaders pull back to the 21EMA. They bounce. They run again.
- Leaders undercut the 21EMA and reclaim quickly.
- Laggards pull back to the 21EMA. They slice through it.

The 21EMA is the line that separates winners from losers in any market.

I have 1000s of 21EMA examples. And its my bread and butter.

Solid advice that will save you a lot of money

There is zero reason to be chasing a gap up when indices are below a declining 21EMA.

Either you buy when indices hit support (like they did last week) or you wait for a structure to form.

( Reclaim 21EMA + put a higher low )

Chasing gaps in a downtrend hurts more than it rewards.

This is where you buy.

The gap up: traced all the way down, filled.

ETFs to look at

Healthcare is not the endgame. It's just Phase 1.

This is the rotation playbook for the next 18 months.

Most of you are looking at healthcare right now and wondering if it's too late.

It's not. Healthcare has been the most consistent sector in midterm election years for 30+ years. 80% win rate in the back half. That's the most reliable sector pattern in modern market history.

Here's what you need to know:

- 22 healthcare companies beat the S&P 500 in 75%+ of midterm years from 1994 to 2022.
- Zero of them underperformed.

But the real money isn't just in healthcare. It's in knowing WHEN to leave healthcare and where to go next.

The mistake most traders make is they ride healthcare all the way through 2027 and miss the bigger move.

- Year 3 of the presidential cycle is the strongest year in the entire 4-year cycle. Average return since 1933: +17.2%. Positive 90% of the time.

And it's NOT healthcare that leads Year 3. The leaders flip completely.

2026-2027 playbook:

Phase 1, July to November 2026: Heavy in healthcare. Add defense. Staples, utilities.

Phase 2, November to February 2027: Start trimming healthcare. Build tech and financials slowly.

Phase 3, February through end of 2027: Full risk on. Tech, financials, consumer discretionary lead the move.

Average gain from midterm year low to Year 3 high: +46.9%.

Capital preservation comes first

The next 90 days are going to wipe out a lot of people who don't adjust.

Here's how I see it playing out:

May to June was the first leg down.
July looks like a relief rally setup.
August through late September is where the real seasonal weakness hits.

Most traders will give back everything they made in H1 because they refuse to slow down.

Here's what I've been doing instead:

  1. Took profits in Industrials.
  2. Rotated into Healthcare.
  3. Added Home Builders.
  4. Now adding Finance exposure.

Still riding tech leaders I've held for months. $NBIS $HUT $CRDO $ALAB $GLW. Those aren't going anywhere. Taking a normal pause.

The game plan for this window is simple:

- Trade less. Every move doesnt need your attention
- Avoid momentum and high beta names.
- Quick rotations. Take profits along the way.
- Size down & Don't fall in love with positions.

Real money isn't made in the next 90 days. Real money is made AFTER markets correct 10%.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Your future self will thank you for having a great plan.

The Market Doesn’t Repeat Prices. It Repeats Human Behavior.

One lesson the market has taught me over and over again:

Tops are a process.
Bottoms are an event.

Tops don't happen because of one piece of bad news.
They happen after weeks or months of people convincing themselves every dip is another buying opportunity.

Bottoms don't happen because the news suddenly gets better.
They happen when fear reaches a point where nobody wants to buy anymore.

That's why bottoms feel so uncomfortable.

We were together riding this through COVID, the 2021 top, the 2022 bear market, the 2025 top and April bottom, the January 2026 top, and now again in 2026.

The charts change. The headlines change.
Human psychology doesn't.

It comes from living through enough market cycles to recognize what they look and feel like.

Everything I share is based on that experience.

And I treat every person who wants to learn the same way I'd want someone to teach my own family.

The VIX Measures Emotion, Not Direction. Pay attention to VIX Divergence

The best investors don’t just watch price.
They watch FEAR…….. That’s what the VIX measures.
When the VIX climbs into the 30–35 range, fear is becoming widespread. Headlines turn negative, retail investors begin selling, and institutions increase hedges. This is where disciplined investors start building positions not because the market has reached the bottom, but because quality businesses are often being sold at discounted prices.

When the VIX reaches 50–55, the market is usually experiencing panic. Forced liquidations, emotional selling, and extreme uncertainty dominate. This is where the greatest opportunities can appear for investors who have cash, conviction, and a plan. History has shown that panic rarely lasts forever, but buying during it requires discipline, not courage alone.

Just as important, pay attention to VIX Divergence
If the market keeps making new highs while the VIX also starts making higher highs, something is changing beneath the surface. Investors are quietly paying more for downside protection even as prices rise. That’s often a sign that risk is increasing before it’s reflected in the index itself.
Does every divergence lead to a correction? No.
But enough of them do that experienced investors pay attention instead of dismissing them.

The VIX isn’t a crystal ball. It’s a sentiment gauge. It doesn’t tell you where the market is going. It only tell you how market participants are feeling.
The biggest mistake is treating it as a buy or sell signal.
The smartest investors use it as context.
Fear creates opportunity.
Complacency creates risk.
Learn to recognize the difference, and you’ll stop reacting to the market’s emotions and start profiting from them.

Everyone is smart when they have this part written down.

Buy the fear when $VIX hits 30-35
Buy it with greed when $VIX hits 50-55

Finally pay attention to VIX divergences. These resolve in a market correction more times than not.

There Is Always a Bull Market Somewhere

One of the biggest mistakes investors make is believing the entire market moves together. It doesn’t.
One lesson the market teaches over and over again is this

Capital doesn’t disappear…. It rotates.

The traders and investors who consistently find opportunities are often the ones paying attention to where money is flowing next, not where it has already been.
Money rotates from one sector to another, creating new leaders along the way. Today’s winners are not always tomorrow’s winners.

I’m seeing some interesting setups developing outside of tech and have been increasing my focus there.

Here are the names I'm watching in each sector:

Industrials:
$BE $POWL $GNRC $VRT $ECG $GEV $CDNL $AAL $UAL $STRL $GE

Finance:
$HOOD $AFRM $SOFI $BAC $USB $CFR

Healthcare:
$JNJ $ABBV $VRTX $QURE $HIMS $OSCR $ORKA $UNH $ILMN $NTRS

Real Estate:
$WELL $EQIX $APLE $HIW $MAC $COMP $CUZ

I have exposure in Industrials. Finance and plenty of Healthcare stocks.

The goal isn't to predict the storm… it's to survive it and have capital ready when it passes

If you had a bad day, thats a sign you made money being part of April to Jun market move.

VIX should run hot over next few months.

This Midterm seasonality chart should be your guide.
Can be a few weeks +/- but we're in the eye of the storm.

Volatility, measured through the VIX, is likely to stay elevated in the coming months. Historically, when the market transitions from a strong directional rally into a more uncertain macro and political backdrop, implied volatility begins to expand. That doesn’t automatically mean a crash …. it means wider price swings, faster rotations, and less forgiving intraday behavior.

This is where many traders misinterpret structure. They expect continuation of the previous regime, but instead get compression → expansion cycles, where trends still exist but are interrupted by sharper reversals and liquidity hunts.

This is not a market to force trades in. It’s a market to respect structure, wait for setups, and allow volatility to create opportunity rather than destroy discipline.

Pay attention to Orderflow

The market tells you what it wants to buy before it tells you where it's going.

$QQQ -2.5%
$IWM -.43%
$RSP -.23%

Notice the pattern?

Rotation into Healthcare, Finance, Real Estate

Individual stocks- I'm seeing strength in:

$APLD $HUT $NBIS $QBTS $WULF $LABU $CLSK $CORZ $DDOG $MRNA $OKTA $OSCR $OUST $RIOT

Semis: $ARM $DELL $MRVL $CRDO $ALAB $MU taking a pause for now.

Just pay attention to where the money is already flowing.

The leaders usually reveal themselves early.

Your watchlist is your edge

As a Position trader you have 3 things you’ve gotta do consistently.

- Find stocks before they become a thing,
- Rotate out of Weak into Strong,
- Keep a healthy watchlist at all times,

Nobody wanted $HUT $WULF $CIFR $NBIS $INTC $AMD $DELL when they were cheap. Now everyone is focused on how extended those stocks are meanwhile there’s hidden strength you gotta look for else where.

Stocks showing strength $BE $NTRA $GNRC $APLD $RDDT
