Macro Regime - Risk Appetite, Growth and Policy are doing the heavy lifting.
Our Macro Regime model continues to point toward a constructive backdrop for risk assets.
Risk appetite and growth momentum are carrying this regime despite weak liquidity and elevated inflation readings. The policy tailwind (likely driven by expectations of a Fed pivot) is helping to sustain the bid.
The takeaway?
• Favor cyclical outperformance and quality growth.
• Stay constructive on risk assets.
• Respect that liquidity remains the main headwind, so manage exposure accordingly.
We built the Macro Regime dashboard to turn dozens of cross-asset signals into a single actionable framework—helping to answer not just what the market is doing, but why.
🚀 Free Live Webinar — Building a Top-Down Trading Process with Themes Lab
Over the past few months, we've completely changed the way we build our Focus Lists.
We used to spend hours jumping between charts, screeners and watchlists trying to connect the dots. Today, we don't.
The recent addition of Themes Lab has completely transformed our workflow. Together with the TLMM dashboards, it's honestly become the only tool we use to find new opportunities.
Why?
Because we believe the best trade ideas don't come from randomly scanning thousands of stocks.
They come from understanding where institutional money is flowing and focusing on established leadership.
That's the philosophy behind Themes Lab.
The entire dashboard is built around a simple top-down process:
➡️ Identify the strongest Themes
➡️ Narrow down to the strongest Groups
➡️ Find the strongest Leaders within those groups
➡️ Focus on the names that are actually setting up
Instead of asking:
"What stock should I buy?"
We start by asking:
"Where is institutional money flowing?"
That one shift changes everything.
Next Tuesday, June 30th at 11:00 AM ET, we'll be hosting a free live webinar where we'll walk through this entire process and show exactly how we use Themes Lab to consistently narrow thousands of stocks down to just a handful of high-quality ideas.
We'll cover:
✅ Why a top-down process produces better trade ideas
✅ How we identify leading themes, groups and stocks using Relative Strength
✅ How Themes Lab helps us stay aligned with institutional leadership
✅ How we build our weekly Focus List
✅ How Themes Lab and TLMM work together to shape our exposure decisions
If you've ever wanted a more structured, repeatable way to find opportunities, we think you'll really enjoy this session.

Themes Lab — 6/25 🧪
Top-down read of where capital is rotating across 180+ themes — RS leadership first, individual setups second.
LEADING THEMES (RS)
• Memory — RS 99.7 (#1)
• Semiconductor Equipment — RS 98.6 (#2)
• Foundry — RS 97 (#3)
• Analog Semiconductors — RS 93 (#4)
• Managed Care — RS 92 (#5)
Semis dominating the tape at +88% 3M, with Foundry and Memory both above RS 86 on broad setup coils — Managed Care emerging as the rotation pocket outside the complex.
TOP SETUPS @ 21dma-structure area
• $SNDK 100 — Memory
• $STX 100 — Memory
• $MU 100 — Memory
• $WDC 100 — Memory
• $ASML 100 — Semiconductor Equipment
• $AMAT 100 — Semiconductor Equipment
• $LRCX 99 — Semiconductor Equipment
• $MRVL 99 — AI Infrastructure
• $ALAB 99 — Connectivity Semiconductors
• $CRDO 99 — Connectivity Semiconductors
THEMES SETTING UP (full breadth)
Watch the themes where the whole leadership board is coiling at the 21dma-structure area together — that's where the cleanest follow-through tends to come from:
• Memory — $SNDK, $STX, $MU, $WDC all setting up (4 of 5 leaders)
• Semiconductor Equipment — $ASML, $AMAT, $LRCX, $MKSI, $ONTO all setting up (5 of 5 leaders)
• Analog Semiconductors — $ARM, $AMKR, $VSH, $ADI all setting up (4 of 5 leaders)
• Connectivity Semiconductors — $ALAB, $CRDO, $SMTC, $MXL all setting up (4 of 5 leaders)
• Power Semiconductors — $STM, $ALGM, $POWI, $ON all setting up (4 of 5 leaders)
• AI Infrastructure — $MRVL, $AMD all setting up (2 of 2 leaders)
• AI Servers & Hardware — $DELL, $HPE, $ANET all setting up (3 of 5 leaders)
TAKEAWAY
Semiconductor complex is the tape — Memory, Equipment, Foundry, Analog, Power, and Connectivity all coiling in unison at the 21dma-structure area. AI Infrastructure and AI Servers adjacency is the cleanest non-semis rotation to watch for follow-through.

📈 Small TradersLab update.
You can now visualize 21EMA & 10WMA extensions directly on every TLMM dashboard chart.
One more piece of context to help answer questions like:
• Is the market getting extended?
• Is this move becoming crowded?
• Should I be adding, managing, or reducing exposure?
Simple feature. Better decision-making.
We're continuously building the platform we wish existed as active traders.
Built Themes Lab dashboard🧪 to answer one question every morning:
Which groups are leading — and who's leading inside them? (!!!)
One screen. Beta is live.
Steel is now #1 on @TradersLab_ top ten themes. This is tied to AI infrastructure and physical robotic builds. Another way of playing the old picks and shovels play. They are literally using picks and shovels to get the iron ore…
@PrimeTrading_ As a @TradersLab_ subscriber myself, I love this new feature. Easy to see what groups are leading and even the leading themes within the leading groups. Super cool
📊 TLMM Dashboard — Uptrend
Tape is constructive: $QQQE trending cleanly above the 21dma-structure area with breadth internals turning back up after a healthy reset.
📈 Price Action ($QQQE)
Trading 112.44, well above the 21dma-structure area
Clean stair-step trend off the April lows — consecutive higher highs, no distribution character
Mild -0.14% daily pullback, ADRP 0.96% (orderly)
🌡️ Breadth Internals (MCSI / MCO)
MCSI z-score 0.50, above a rising 10dma (0.39) → constructive backdrop intact
MCO z-score 0.21 — neutral, neither oversold nor overbought
Translation: trend is on, no exhaustion signal, no dip signal yet — carry positions, no chase
👀 Breadth Snapshot
$NDX 100 leading: 61.4% above 21EMA, 59.4% above 50SMA, GDB rank +19.4
New highs/lows: NDX 10/1, Russell 101/20 — broad participation under the surface
Sector standouts: Technology (60% > 21EMA), Real Estate GDB +27.9
Laggards: Energy (-74 GDB), Utilities (-70), Industrials (-71) — defensives + cyclicals soft, classic risk-on rotation
Takeaway
Regime: Uptrend, risk-on. Lean long, respect the 21dma-structure area on $QQQE as the line.
MCO neutral means next oversold dip is the buy — not chasing strength here.
Watch: MCO push above +1σ = caution flag. Loss of 21dma-structure area + MCSI rolling under 10dma = regime change.

We just released a new Market Internals page on TradersLab. 👀🔥
It brings key cross-asset data, credit spreads, volatility, rotation, rates, commodities, and crypto into one clean view with mini-charts. You can fully customize it to track what matters to your process, and use it to quickly read the broader environment behind price.
There’s also a small layer starting to build on top to help interpret these signals… more on that soon.
Hope you'll enjoy that new addition... and stay tuned for more releases soon!! 🙂

360° MARKET VIEW $QQQ TLMM Dashboard
The NASDAQ is caught between short-term bounce mechanics and intermediate-term deterioration. Price structure is split: the 21-EMA is rising and price is above it, but the 50-SMA is flat-to-declining and price has broken below it. This is a classic setup for a rally that lacks structural confirmation.
The McClellan Summation Index recovery is a positive signal for breadth stabilization, but it must be watched closely—if MCSI rolls over below its 10-day moving average again, it would confirm that the distribution phase is resuming.
Participation at 44.5% above the 50-SMA is the key constraint; healthy rallies typically see this metric move toward 55%+. The dominance of new lows over new highs and the persistent negative Global Daily Breadth (-63.5) suggest that leadership is not expanding into the rally, which is a red flag for sustainability.
Watch for:
(1) whether participation can expand above 50% above the 50-SMA,
(2) whether the 50-SMA can stabilize and begin rising, and
(3) whether new highs can begin to expand relative to new lows. Until these confirmations occur, this remains a countertrend rally vulnerable to reversal.
360° MARKET VIEW $QQQ TLMM Dashboard
The rally is real but contextually fragile. Extreme breadth readings (GDB +97, MCO Z +1.08) typically mark inflection points rather than continuation signals, especially within a downtrend.
The reclamation of the MCSI 10-day moving average is a positive technical development, but it must be sustained and followed by actual participation expansion (% above 50-SMA moving above 60%) to signal a structural shift.
Watch for:
(1) whether MCSI continues higher and breaks above zero,
(2) whether participation quality improves materially in the next 5-10 days, and
(3) whether the 50-day SMA begins to flatten or rise. The current setup favors a pause or pullback in the near term given the extreme short-term extension.
Leadership expansion remains the key missing piece—new highs are not broadening, which limits the conviction of this rally.
The correction is confirmed by broken price structure and deteriorating breadth. The 5-day breadth thrust (+86 GDB) is notable but must be contextualized: it represents a recovery from extreme weakness, not a trend reversal.
For a meaningful uptrend to resume, NASDAQ would need to
(1) reclaim the 50-SMA around 102.03,
(2) see the McClellan Summation Index reclaim its 10-day moving average, and
(3) expand participation back above 40% of stocks above the 50-SMA.
Currently, only 27.7% qualify, which is well below healthy levels. Leadership expansion is stalled (cumulative net highs-lows at 2868 vs 50-day average of 2874.8), confirming that new highs are not driving the market. The 21-day deterioration in all major breadth metrics (participation down 23.8%, ad-net down 48, GDB down 79 points) establishes the corrective trend as the primary regime.
Watch for stabilization at the 50-SMA as a potential inflection point, but confirmation would require breadth expansion, not just price bounce.
Market Internals - MIXED
The internals are sending mixed signals that demand your full attention right now. Crude Oil at 111.54 is absolutely ripping — up 11.41% in a single session and nearly 18% on the month — which is a classic stagflationary warning shot, and that kind of commodity surge historically pressures risk assets even when equities try to hold their ground. Meanwhile, VIX at 23.87 is cooling off on the week (-13.01%) but remains elevated on the month (+12.86%), meaning it's likely still holding above or testing a rising 10wma-structure — don't let the short-term VIX dip fool you into thinking fear has left the building.
The one bright spot is the XLK/XLP ratio at 1.6606 pushing higher (+1.69% on the week, +3.51% on the month), suggesting money is rotating back toward Tech over Defensives in the near term, but with Credit Spreads (SHY/HYG at 1.0352) still elevated on the month (+0.58%) and Gold pulling back hard (-2.77% today despite a strong week), the reclaim or rejection of the 21dma-structure on both SPY and QQQ will be the defining moment — watch whether XLK/XLP can hold its weekly gains while VIX confirms a breakdown below its rising 10wma-structure.
• Crude Oil UPTREND above rising structure
• VIX testing declining 21dma-structure
• Tech/Staples rotation signals cautious optimism
360° MARKET VIEW $QQQ TLMM Dashboard
The correction is confirmed by price structure failure and breadth deterioration.
Key observations:
(1) Participation has fallen sharply—only 24.8% above 50-SMA is well into weak territory;
(2) The 21-day GDB swing (+113 to -52) suggests a reflexive bounce may have exhausted;
(3) Advancers are still leading on a net basis (+21 A/D net today), but this is masking internal weakness—volume is upside-dominant but participation is collapsing, a divergence typical of late-stage rallies;
(4) The MCO Z-score of +0.30 is not extreme, suggesting room for further deterioration before an oversold bounce becomes likely;
(5) Leadership is not expanding (cumulative net highs-lows below 50-DMA), which is a red flag in a correction. Watch for MCO to reach -2.0 Z-score or lower for potential oversold inflection.
Confirmation of a bottom would require MCSI reclaiming its 10-DMA and price stabilizing above the 21-EMA.
$QQQE running into declining 21dma-structure, while MCSI is following through on yesterday's hook-up.
Interesting picture as indices are running into potential overhead supply.
The extreme Global Daily Breadth reading (+97) warrants scrutiny: it reflects concentrated upside in a narrow set of leaders rather than broad participation.
With only 19.8% of stocks above the 50-SMA and leadership contracting, this breadth thrust is a distribution event masquerading as strength. The MCSI below its 10-day MA is the critical signal—it confirms that participation is not expanding despite the headline breadth number.
Watch for MCSI reclaiming its 10-day MA (15.23) as a confirmation signal; failure to do so suggests the correction continues. Price must reclaim the 21-EMA (100.04) and ideally the 50-SMA (102.32) to signal structural recovery. The up/down volume ratio at 23:1 is extremely elevated and unsustainable, suggesting volume is concentrated in a few names.
This is a tail-risk setup where the appearance of strength masks underlying weakness.
Impressive day for the liquid leaders, with +5.2% move, as the composite index tries to reclaim the 21dma-structure, and MCSI to hook up.
The next few days should be interesting for this basket of stocks. $SNDK, $LITE, $SATS, $WDC, $ONDS, $FIVE, $CIEN, $PL, $TSEM, $STX, $FSLY, $BE, $VRT, $MTZ, $DOCN, $GEV, $TER, $NBIS, $MKSI, $ATI
360° MARKET VIEW $QQQ TLMM Dashboard
Correction is well-established with no price structure support. The 21-day deterioration in participation (-35.6 percentage points in % above 50-SMA) is severe and suggests broad-based selling rather than sector rotation. Leadership is not expanding (cumulative net highs-lows at 2877 vs 50-day MA of 2880.72).
Key watch: whether MCSI can reclaim its 10-day MA (17.92) to signal early breadth stabilization, or whether it continues lower. Price needs to reclaim 102.32 (50-SMA) to challenge correction thesis.
Current flags include volume downside dominance, weak participation, and tail risk to the downside. The one-day bounce in MCO and GDB may represent a short-term oversold condition, but without participation expansion and price structure recovery, it lacks conviction.
