"The Quads and the Signal answer different questions: the Quads map the growth and inflation cycle, while the Signal shows what markets are doing now"— Josh Steiner

And right now market signals are changing.

VIX

VIX changed last Thursday and is holding strong as the low end of the RANGE continues to go lower.

MOVE

Bond volatility just broke back to bearish TREND. Remember April 8th of this year?

QQQ

Here’s a reminder. Today price came within .45% of TREND on the QQQs. I was buying the open here.

SPY

SPY reached ATHs and still needs to consolidate more. I don’t chase things at the top end of the RANGE.

IWM

Small caps also reached ATH and never broke TREND during Quad 4. All the indices are confirming bullish TREND today.

SPHB

High beta is mirroring QQQ, signaling to get long things like Nasdaq and crypto.

Sector Signals

DRAM

AI memory stocks weren’t signaling long yesterday and were crashing this morning. The math knew where to execute.

​Wednesday, August 5, 2026​

IGV

Software is another long signal and is a similar set to Nasdaq and crypto, confirming to buy the dip in these things.

XLV

As high beta was breaking out, low beta stocks like healthcare told you to sell some at the top end of the RANGE.

IAK

Insurance stocks continue to grind higher in bullish TRADE TREND.

XLRE

Low beta real estate is breaking TRADE, signaling to reduce as the low end of the RANGE falls below TREND as well. Market is slowing roating back into high beta/ growth.

XLY

Consumer Discretionary is signaling the same.

XLE

Despite oil being in bearish TRADE TREND, energy stocks are signaling bullish TRADE TREND. Be careful with exposure as the macro asset and sectors aren’t signaling the same thing.

Macro Markets

TLT

As bond volatility breaks down, reducing some TLT makes sense here near the lows.

Oil

Oil is up over 3% today. That doesn’t mean it’s a long. If you’re still holding onto USO, this is a good spot to exit.

UUP

The dollar is bouncing today as well, but remains firmly in bearish TRADE. Reducing negatively correlated assets is today’s fractal instruction.

GLD

Gold is a great example of that. If you got short on March 13th like the math said to, you should have been selling some at the low end of the RANGE, then more on the break of TRADE. When the signal changes, change with it.

BTC

Bitcoin on Coinbase is in bullish TRADE TREND for the first time since May 27th. This is your get-long signal. Make sure to position accordingly based on volatility and when it would change, which is 3% below TREND (volatility-adjusted break) at $60,500. Until then, expect up.

These aren’t random opinions or lagging headlines. They’re the same clear, rules-based signals that flagged the shifts in VIX, MOVE, high-beta breakouts, sector rotations, and Bitcoin’s first bullish TRADE TREND in months—before the crowd catches on.
