Good Morning SqueezeFinders,

As of Friday’s close, the broader market remains in a state of bullish euphoria after the $QQQ tech index printed a new all-time high of 650.00 before closing at 648.85 (+1.31%). Bulls need only get concerned about the beginning of a larger pullback if the $QQQ tech index falls under 635 on heavy volume selling. On the other side of things (optimistic bullish outcome), if t he $QQQ tech index ramps over 650.00, the euphoria may continue. The main directional sentiment determinants today are mainly any continued headline developments regarding the situation in the Middle-East/Strait of Hormuz. Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar to track irregularities in our data, or check out our automated trading robot, SqueezeBot to get an edge on the market without having to stare at the screen all day long. We just released the results for the month of March for SqueezeBot, and it was a shocking winrate of 74.63%, average gain was ~2.29% per trade (fixed % profit-taking scalps enabled). We allow for 3%, 5%, or 10% fixed profit-taking parameters. Check out SqueezeBot today!

After falling from its all-time high of 697.84 to 629.28, the SPY staged a violent rebound on March 31, 2026. Although this rebound was driven largely by signs of a potential de-escalation in the Middle East conflict, the market has actually been searching for reasons to call a bottom. But with bullish sentiment now released, can we truly be optimistic about the outlook?

Currently, the arguments for the market having entered a bottoming range generally fall into the following categories:

1. The SPY's forward P/E ratio has pulled back to around 20, making overall valuations more reasonable.
2. Long-term dollar depreciation pressures will drive inflationary price increases across all dollar-denominated assets.
3. This correction was primarily triggered by the Middle East war. As the conflict draws to a close or even ends, stocks should resume their upward trajectory.

However, while the above reasoning has some validity, it lacks necessary causal relationships.

First, the so-called pullback in forward P/E is based on the assumption that earnings remain unchanged. But in reality, even if the war ends, oil prices and supply are unlikely to return to pre-war levels anytime soon. Under such circumstances, companies' operating costs could face significant upward pressure. At the same time, if inflation begins to rear its head, demand will also be suppressed. Consequently, overall corporate earnings may need to be revised downward, making the judgment about a lower forward P/E far less reliable.

Second, the long-term trend of dollar depreciation implies an erosion of dollar credit. In this sense, so-called inflationary asset price increases... particularly nominal price rises driven by excessive money supply, are inherently unsustainable. Once the dollar's circulating supply exceeds a certain tipping point, the market will begin to question dollar credit, and dollar-denominated assets could become high-risk assets subject to selling. The fact that many central banks are increasing their gold holdings is already a clear warning sign.

Third, a ceasefire will not improve the federal government's balance sheet. On the contrary, it has deteriorated further due to massive wartime spending. When the federal government has to roll over old debt with new debt while interest burdens remain high, Treasury yields will likely stay elevated. In that case, the market will demand higher expected returns from risk assets, thereby suppressing equity valuations.

In summary, using historical data to predict market trends risks being an exercise in missing the point, while subjective judgments that ignore core fundamental variables resemble wishful thinking. Therefore, although multiple technical indicators suggest a rebound is needed, and the market has indeed used good news to satisfy that need, from a medium-to-long-term perspective, it is probably still too early to conclude that US stocks have bottomed.

Good Morning SqueezeFinders,

It would seem the bulls are back with a reckoning, so assuming nothing sketchy interrupts this insane recovery for the broader market/$QQQ tech index, I would say it’s safe to assume continued cautiously optimistic approach, if not totally optimistic approach from the market. The $QQQ tech index closed yesterday at 628.60 (+1.82%), which leaves us significantly above the 613 bullish pivot, so bears are likely sweating bullets as we rocket back towards all-time highs at 635.80. Only sign we should shift back towards caution would be if we fall back below the pivot at 613. The main directional sentiment determinants for today are a mix of a few big earnings reports like $MS and $BAC in premarket, the below-detailed economic data releases, and also any continued developments in the Middle-East (I heard Trump will be on FOX to state the war is “nearing an end” today). Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar go track irregularities in our data, or check out our automated trading robot, SqueezeBot to get an edge on the market without having to stare at the screen all day long. We just released the results for the month of March for SqueezeBot, and it was a shocking winrate of 74.63%, average gain was ~2.29% per trade (fixed % profit-taking scalps enabled).

Good Morning SqueezeFinders,

Another day of the melt-up in the books, as the $QQQ tech index closed yesterday near record highs at 640.47 (+0.48%) with new all-time highs printed at 642.18. The bulls are not letting their foot off the gas, as the bears desperately gasp for oxygen. The only reason bulls should lose confidence/become less cocky would be if we fall under ~625 area, but until then, I'd say remain bullish on your favorite squeeze candidates with strong technical setups paired with encouraging SqueezeFinder data.

Good Morning SqueezeFinders,

Despite the ongoing geopolitical drama in the Middle-East, the bulls are on parade, and the $QQQ tech index has successfully cleared the 613-615 pivot range without any issues. We closed at 617.39 (+1.03%) yesterday, and it set us up for a potentially explosive bullish reversal into the end of the week as we edge closer towards the hugely-anticipated SpaceX IPO (which is helping drive space stocks higher). Since we are back in bullish-leaning directional sentiment territory, we can now begin getting more aggressive with bullish bets on squeeze candidates. If the $QQQ tech index retests 613 as support, and fades, it could indicate a fakeout, whereas if we just continue surging and break above 635.8 (new all-time highs), we will see the shorts get absolutely melted by the rally after what has largely been a rangebound consolidatory back and forth between 600 and 630 (with intermittent dips as we experienced recently). The main directional sentiment determinants today will be a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, ongoing headline developments in the Middle-East, and a few big bank earnings reports in premarket.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

The initial opening of futures last night showed a gap up on crude oil WTI futures to highs of $115.37/barrel before selling off the entirety of that gain and turning negative by early Monday morning. The $QQQ tech index closed on Thursday at 584.98 (+0.11%) to inch us a little closer back to recovering above the 600 psychological level. Ideally we can at least push back into the rangebound consolidation zone above 591 to recoup some of the bullish directional sentiment we’ve lost over the last couple of weeks. If we fall back under 570, it’d be wise to assume resumption of that medium-term downtrend. However, as long as we can continue the recovery at a relatively in-line pace as the last few sessions, we should be back above 600 in no time. The main directional sentiment determinants for today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, and also any further headline developments regarding the geopolitical situation in the Middle-East.
