How to Read This Before You Trade
Start with the backdrop, then move to the chart. Index ETFs green, VIXY down, TLT stable, HYG leading LQD, and QQQ leading SPY means the market is making it easier for breakouts to work.
If SPY is green but VIXY is rising, credit is soft, and small caps lag, the headline index is not telling the whole story. That is where smaller size, cleaner entries, and better stops matter.
