Episode summary

Midday update for Friday, November 13th, 2026, on a tech-led selloff. QQQ has slipped below its 200-day moving average, but market breadth is stabilizing and the bear count has roughly halved since yesterday. The hosts frame it as a sector rotation and give an afternoon plan with two action codes.

Key points

  • QQQ fell below its 200-day moving average at 682.23, which can trigger algorithmic selling in tech.
  • Panic has eased: the bear count fell from 502 yesterday, and 40-day breadth ticked up to 56.37%.
  • SOXS is up 13.7% at $51.98 on 1.0 relative volume, which the hosts read as institutional selling in semis.
  • CADL is down 21.6% on 3.4 relative volume, which the hosts call a failed setup and warn against averaging down into.
  • The afternoon bias is cautiously bearish, with action codes CRT (small position sizes) and a defensive tilt toward sector winners.
