@stevenfiorillo “The buying motion for enterprise software is slow, relationship-driven, and consensus-based. It involves legal, security reviews, procurement, IT, and the CFO's office.” 💯
@OptiontradinIQ I’ve missed great entries waiting for a gap to fill that never did. There are still $SPX gaps open from the COVID drop. Imo the gap’s time frame holds more weight than the percentage move. $MSFT had a monthly gap that took almost a year to fill. $AMD still has a weekly one open.
“All gaps eventually get filled” is a classic technical analysis mantra, one that endures, yet few understand its fading foundation. While the phrase sounds like it belongs in structural engineering, it rose to prominence during the era of larger multiplier futures contracts, particularly when the S&P 500 traded with a 500x multiplier.
At the time, fund managers receiving fresh client inflows often couldn’t allocate large sums into individual stocks without distorting intraday prices and having to rely on sell-side brokers to get them decent fills (and not front-run their orders). Instead, they bought index futures on the exchange floor before the cash market opened, then gradually rotated into the underlying equities over subsequent sessions. This urgent futures buying created frequent opening gaps from the prior session’s close, gaps that typically got filled during the regular cash sessions.
That market structure generally no longer exists, but the historical myth lives through more by nostalgia and self-fulfilling momentum than by modern technical-analysis fundamentals. So while I still like to imagine that all gaps eventually get filled, I also know the truth, many no longer do or ever will.
From a panic scale of 1 to 10, X makes every single event or a headline a 10. People are not incentivized to tell the truth anymore, they make money by selling you fear. Mainstream media use to be bad but I think we are at the point social media is even worse. It's exhausting.
The JPMorgan Quarterly Collar Trade expires at the market close today. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a nice mechanical rally across the board over the coming days. $SPY $NDX $MSFT
@TheLongInvest Feels irresponsible to not have a position now. The capex FUD doesn’t hold water imo. Azure’s demand for AI services continues to exceed available supply. Once the constraints on capacity are resolved MSFT will overtake AWS. MSFT isn’t software. It is the future backbone of of AI
Trump was right again.
After his 2020 SOTU, the media claimed that he was trying to scare and "divide" people with this line and that it was never going to happen. Take a listen.
Dylan Mulvaney or not, $BUD has been getting smoked by its monthly 50 EMA for sometime. The stock does show signs of a double bottom, but it is a strong short candidate at the moment.
