Midday Market

The hosts frame it as a sector rotation and give an afternoon plan with two action codes. The post Midday Wave #149: QQQ Breaks Below 200 Day Moving Average – Friday 11/13/2026 first appeared...

A breakdown of the WaveRider Midday Wave template from November 11, 2026, which forces a strict three-step plan: regime update, signal status, afternoon adjustment. The day’s data conflicted: breadth surged and the regime turned bullish, but relative volume was muted. The system therefore called for controlled risk taking and flagged traps like FOSL and Lime.

Breadth metrics show a decisive bullish regime flip led by a surging 40SMA and inverting 4% readings, but leading stocks are moving on thin RVOL, signaling caution.

The hosts break down why this is... The post Midday Wave #130: Breadth Breaks Down: Why This Rally Has N...

Despite a still-Bearish regime label, breakdown counts collapsed and intermediate-term breadth is improving, with energy refiners leading on price.

The call: stay cautiously constructive, watch key levels, and don’t... The post Midday Wa...
