Power Hour #136: Green Indices Mask Broken Market Breadth – Tuesday 10/27/2026

Episode 1364:20

0:004:20

Episode summary

Stocks closed higher but breadth stayed bearish beneath the surface, with leadership rotating into Industrials, Materials and Energy as tech lagged. RPD and TSLA led momentum while SPY struggled under its SMA50; traders should stay defensive and watch IWM’s $277 line into tomorrow.

Key points

  • Indices look green but breadth is split, with bear 4% beating bull 4% by 200 to 133; action code is ABC.
  • Hold HPE, DDOG, LMT and TSLA into the bell; cut communication services (down 2.1%), JBLU and OMC.
  • LMT is a clean continuation candidate if it holds its intraday range; RPD is an aggressive option.
  • IWM sits at its 20-day SMA of 277.06; a hold targets 284.64, while a loss flips it back to the SMA 50 downtrend at 285.86.
  • If 20 SMA breadth turns up and SPY reclaims 767.59, the plan upgrades to selective long; until then keep risk tight.
