Episode notes
Small Caps Leading, Clear Index Levels Matter
- Small caps (Russell 2000 / IWM) are currently leading while the S&P and NASDAQ lack upside momentum.
- Jim Tassoni watches clear index levels (Russell 2465, NASDAQ ~24,940, S&P 6682) to define bias and trades accordingly.
Let Price Action, Not Year-End Hype, Guide You
- Don't trade on year-end narratives; use price action and defined levels to guide positions.
- Expect hedging and profit-taking into year-end and let January price action decide direction.
Silver Momentum Strong But Overbought
- Silver has exploded into the $60s and shows strong momentum but is overbought and showing short-term exhaustion.
- Tassoni keeps a trailing close stop (around 59.20) and watches 65.08 as resistance for further upside.
