Strykr Analysis
NeutralStrykr Pulse 58/100. Record highs met with technical fatigue and cautious positioning. Threat Level 3/5. Watch for momentum cracks or rebound triggers.
The S&P 500 flirted with the 7,000 milestone this week before a reality check knocked it back 0.56% from its all-time high. The market’s momentum is waning, technical cracks are appearing, and the late-week liquidation in metals spilled into stocks.
Tech stocks remain stubbornly flat at $XLK $143.9, showing no follow-through despite the index’s record highs. Energy outperformed but failed to ignite a broad rally. The Fed’s steady rate stance is a double-edged sword, keeping the market on edge as traders digest the balance sheet downsizing plans from Kevin Warsh’s nomination.
Strykr Pulse 58/100 captures the cautious optimism with a side of fatigue. The market is consolidating, not collapsing. Watch the $SPY for a test of support near $590. This is a classic setup for a tactical dip buy or a tactical fade if momentum breaks down further.
