The Trend Is The Bulls’ Friend

The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 made new all-time closing highs, with Nvidia and semiconductors helping drive the latest bull run. A lack of Trump tariff comments or other surprises helped investors feel comfortable staying long into the three-day weekend. Time will tell if this weekend is restful or if the pot is stirred. 👀
Today's issue covers the bullish trend continuing, Michael Burry’s buying spree, a brand new “Weekend Rip” episode, and other noteworthy pops and drops. 📰
Here’s the S&P 500 heatmap. 4 of 11 sectors closed green, with communication services (+0.61%) leading and healthcare (-1.09%) lagging.

When In Doubt, Zoom Out 🔍️
Bulls continue to climb the “wall of worry,” and long-term investors are rewarded for sticking with the trend despite all the reasons to sell. Sometimes simplicity pays, so let’s view how some market participants attempt to keep it simple.
Below is a chart of Nasdaq 100 futures showing prices continually staying above their primary trendline and long-term (200-day) moving average. Whether using higher highs and higher lows, trendlines, moving averages, momentum indicators, or some other trend-following method, the path of least resistance remains higher. 📈

Looking ahead, one catalyst that could propel or derail stocks’ recent move is the U.S. Dollar Index. There’s been a negative correlation with stocks, as investors “rushed for safety” via the U.S. Dollar and treasuries during periods of uncertainty.
However, the Dollar's breakdown from its recent range could suggest some of that fear is leaving the market, and investors are taking a more aggressive approach toward risk assets like stocks, crypto, etc. The chart below shows prices retesting their former highs, and how prices react here will tell investors a lot about what’s next. 🕵️

Join Top Investors Before This “Unlisted” Stock Price Changes
When the team that created Zillow and grew it into a $16B real estate leader starts a new company, investors take note. That’s why top firms like SoftBank and Maveron already invested in Pacaso.
Pacaso’s disruptive co-ownership model took America by storm, earning $100M+ in gross profits in just four years. Now, they’re turning their focus to expanding internationally – which is why their share price is changing February 27.
Pacaso has already sold out two Paris homes in record time, with another on its way. In London, they just finalized the purchase of their most expensive European home yet. Meanwhile, in Cabo, they’ve added seven homes. And this is just the start. That’s why they formed a new partnership with a private UK lender to aid further growth.
Soon, Pacaso will become a globally known brand – which means the current $2.70/share price won’t last long. Lock in your stake before 2/27.*
