In recent interviews for my Market Misbehavior podcast, I’ve asked technical analysts including Frank Cappelleri, TG Watkins, and Tom Bowley what they see happening as we wrap a very successful 2024.  With the Nasdaq 100 logging about a 30% gain for 2024, it’s hard to imagine that incredible bullish continuing into 2025.  But it is definitely possible!

After the November pullback, GLD began to rally again. This week, on Wednesday, price exceeded the nearest November top, which made official the new rising trend from the November low.

Last week, I wrote about CSCO stock, one of the stocks filtered in my StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) scan. At the time, I was waiting for CSCO’s stock price to pull back to its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Well, it happened a lot quicker than I...

The StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) Report is usually a good place to start, as it lists top-performing stocks in different phases of their respective trends.

With an new administration inbound in Washington, D.C., might now be a good time to jump into small-cap stocks? If you’ve heard this maxim based on the Presidential Election Cycle Theory, it has some truth to it. Small-caps tend to thrive after presidential elections as attention shifts to domestic issues and governance. Since 1980, the Russell 2000 has averaged a 15% return in post-election years, outperforming large-cap stocks by about 4 percentage points. Since we’re...
