🐺 Are We About to Have Another Leg Up?

Hey everyone! Sam here (AKA @SamSolid57 on X)

I drop into your inbox a few times a week, breaking down the biggest stories in finance and the moves that matter most.

Let’s get into it

As of Wednesday’s close, U.S. stock indexes are on track for their strongest week since June, with the Nasdaq 4.2%, the S&P 500 gaining 3.2%, and the Dow rising 2.6%.

That rebound comes after a significant dip, suggesting some traders are interpreting the pullback as a buying opportunity, possibly positioning for year-end or reacting to early signs of renewed liquidity and rate-cut optimism.

The Zweig Breadth Thrust (ZBT) (a measure of market breadth that signals bullish reversal when advancing issues rise sharply) has come back into focus. Historically, when ZBT triggers (advancers jump from below 40% to above 61.5% over 10 trading days), the market tends to rally significantly over the following 6-12 months.

With broad participation returning alongside this week’s rally, some chart-watchers argue this could mark the start of a new leg higher. That said, rare as it is, a ZBT isn’t foolproof. Macro headwinds and earnings risk still matter.

Crypto is catching some strength, with traders asking whether what we’re seeing is a bounce or a genuine breakout. Bitcoin has clawed back some ground as risk sentiment improves, and Ethereum along with other altcoins are showing tentative signs of stabilizing. Though volatility remains elevated.

If macro clarity holds and liquidity stays supportive, crypto could benefit from renewed risk demand. On the flip side, a surprise hawkish move, weak economic data, or renewed volatility could quickly wipe out gains. For now, the market seems willing to test the waters. But only time will tell if this is a sustainable reset.
