I listen to leadership.
There is a handful ones.
Stocks trading near or at new highs,
With dollar volume above 100M per day.
Leaders lead the market.
If several stocks trading billions like XOM, UNH, CVX, AMGN, LLY, SLB, COP or MRK are making new high,
You can be sure the market isn't about to puke.
Leaders are currently Energy and Healthcare.
CAT (Manufacturing) and MCD (Services) are worth noting.
Indexes wise,
Everyone expected them to puke,
Me the first after that powell meeting on friday.
Guess what ? It's holding.
