TG Watkins – Weak Market vs Strong Market, What Stocks To Watch and What To Look For On The Charts
TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and Editor of the Profit Pilot website joins us to addresses the ongoing debate between if the markets are setting up for another major pullback or if a turn has happened and the next significant move might be higher. So much focus for markets is on the weak breadth, with only large tech leading the way. For the economy everyone is predicting a recession in the second half of the year and a quick Fed pivot to rate cuts.
We start with a focus on big tech’s rebound and how these stocks are being viewed a safety plays. We then move to a general discussion about how investors are positioning in tech for now but if they shift more risk-on that could be a big boost for the lagging stocks. We could be in for a slow summer.

“Prices for the coveted battery metal rebounded this week for the first time in five months after tumbling from last year’s record highs. This is partly attributed to the world’s no. 2 producer Chile’s decision to tighten state control of its lithium industry.”
