Morning Dose #372: Fading the Tech Relief Bounce – Monday 11/2/2026

Episode 3726:01

0:006:01

Episode summary

A pre-market macro and scanner briefing for Monday, Nov 2, 2026, covering weak breadth data, a futures relief bounce tied to falling oil and yields, a split tape between energy/machinery strength and AI/crypto weakness, and trading action codes ahead of Apple and Palantir earnings plus midterm elections.

Key points

  • Market breadth is very weak (49.72% above 40-day MA, 109 bulls vs 741 bears), signaling a cautious regime despite a futures bounce.
  • Oil dropping below $100 and the 10-year yield easing to 4.91% fueled a relief rally, but internals haven't confirmed it.
  • Capital is rotating out of speculative AI/crypto names (semis down 7.3% Friday) into energy and machinery stocks with real demand.
  • Action codes for today: CRT (controlled risk taking - size down in AI-heavy portfolios) and T3A (think three days ahead - position for Apple/Palantir earnings and midterms).
  • Treat any morning gap-up as a counter-trend bounce to fade, not chase, until breadth internals actually confirm the move.
