Episode notes
S&P 6100 Is The Bull Bear Line
- The S&P must hold roughly 6,100–6,200 to keep the bull market and potential melt-up intact.
- Dale flagged 6,540 as broken and says a 10–15% correction to retest the breakout is likely if 6,100 fails.
Make A Shopping List And Wait To Buy
- Build a shopping list of preferred stocks and wait to buy at target prices during this pullback.
- Dale says silver and crypto-software names are on his list but he won't buy until S&P shows where it lands near mid-6,100s.
Relative Strength Reveals Buy Candidates
- Relative strength during a market sell-off signals assets worth buying even if the index drops further.
- Dale points to Bitcoin and some software/crypto stocks as examples that may not make new lows if S&P revisits 6,100.
