Momentum Fades: $META $MSFT $QQQ Signal Traps, Not Dips to Chase
This week’s tech market highlights key traps and pullbacks.
$META’s earnings breakout turned into a 25%+ drop, $MSFT continues its post-peak decline, and $QQQ signals caution when buying pressure fades.
The focus isn’t chasing every rally, but avoiding catastrophic losses while staying positioned for parabolic winners.
1. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$
$META trap was set and executed to perfection
This is why we don't chase pumps while Monthly BX is red
We said the $META breakout on earnings looked like a trap ❌
Since then it’s dropped 25%+.
2. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$
They would have said the same thing in 2022 and in 2008.
The model is not magic.
When buying pressure and relative strength fade, it is rare for the market to keep grinding higher.
Simple.
2018 would have saved you another 16% drawdown and a year of pain. $QQQ
2020 would have stopped you out near the lows for about a 3% loss, then got you back in when buying pressure returned.
No strategy wins all the time. The real game is avoiding catastrophic losses. That is what this model does best, and it keeps you in position to catch the parabolic winners.
3. $Microsoft(MSFT)$
We called the top on $MSFT in January.
Since then it’s dropped over 25%.
Everyone keeps asking where I’m buying.
4. $Alphabet(GOOGL)$
$GOOGL is still up ~45% since this bull cycle started.
After this pullback, everyone is asking: is this the time to buy the dip?
