Earnings continue to be a mixed bag, with post-report swings even on good numbers, as MarketWatch notes. This means **stock selection is critical**. Investors are chasing tech earnings hopes, driving inflows into US equity funds. However, concerns linger around sectors like chips, with SK Hynix entering the US amid volatility warnings on its sector. We're seeing strength in names like [META](/stocks/meta) and [TSLA](/stocks/tsla), but headlines keep warning about the tricky nature of this market.
Volatility remains a theme, with VIX ETF outflows suggesting some traders are betting on calm, though Kalshi sees a split Fed outlook on rates. Meanwhile, corporate America is buying back shares, but insider selling data hints at caution. This divergence suggests smart money might be more circumspect than the broader market noise implies. We're holding longs but staying sharp.
The market's strong bullish pulse continues. We're leaning into momentum names, adding on pullbacks. Keep stops tight and follow the leaders. Today’s action aligns with our algorithmic signals, reinforcing the upward trend. See how our strategies adapt to this environment with [explore Radiant algorithms](/algorithms).
