The marketās been on a strong run since mid-April, no doubt about that.
April lows shook out a lot of investors, but since then weāve seen a steady climb, with a brief push in early June, tād people thinking weād break out for good.
But over the past couple of weeks?
Weāve mostly just chopped sideways.
Recent Market Action
Weāre hovering just under the previous all-time high. And despite some strong individual performances, the broader market has struggled to punch through that resistance level. This kind of price action tends to frustrate both bulls and bears⦠Itās not a clean breakout, and itās not a breakdown either.
Thatās the backdrop.
And toward the end of this post, weāll walk through one specific trade setup weāre watching closely, especially for subscribers looking to stay tactical in the coming weeks.
Shifting Sentiment
What's catching our attention now is the shift in sentiment.
A lot of people are starting to capitulate to this move.
Large speculators are positioning heavily, and weāre seeing a clear uptick in exposure to risk assets across the board.
Even the AAII sentiment survey, which we watch closely, is flashing signs of optimism.
It just printed its lowest bearish reading since January, a meaningful shift.
Thatās notable⦠because just a month ago, the same survey was overwhelmingly bearish.
People didnāt believe the rally.
They were hesitant, skeptical, calling it a dead-cat bounce or a trap.
Now?
Some of those same voices are turning bullish.
Thatās often when we start to see the dynamics change⦠not necessarily because the market is broken, but because sentiment is finally catching up to price, and thatās usually when things get trickier.
Weāre not calling a top here.
But weāre also not ignoring the signals.
Our Positioning
If youāve been following this newsletter, you know weāve been bullish since April, leaning into strength when others were pulling back.
That positioning paid off.
But as of last week, weāve started to get a little more cautious.
We havenāt liquidated the portfolio.
Weāre not going risk-off.
But we are watching closely, tightening up our exposure where needed, and being more selective with new entries.
That said, we still stand on one core belief⦠we are in a bull market.
We may not know where the next 5% or 10% move lands⦠but weāre confident the next 20% is higher.
Even $MSTR Strategy is bullish on the Prospero.ai app. We consistently refer to our favorite tool for sentiment and positioning checks.
Thatās the bigger picture.
And thatās where our conviction stays anchored.
