522 days ago, i pinned this tweet after the $QQQ made "a top"... it turned out to be "the top". but today, we closed above those highs as even the buy and holder was made whole, finally. i'll find something else to pin soon...

you can call it whatever you want to call it, but I call yesterday "a top" in $QQQ - now we just need to know if that top will be exceeded this week, next week, next month, or?? the RSI(5) bearish divergence was very visible into yesterday...

technology stocks just SURGED against $SPX - the straight up move led me to look more closely... we just had the BIGGEST 10-day relative move at +7.1% since March 10, 2009. and, no, if you're wondering if stocks peaked on March 10, 2009, they didn't. they bottomed. big time.
