Morning Dose #373: Tech Dumps as Cyclical Stocks Rally – Tuesday 11/3/2026

Episode 3735:47

0:005:47

Episode summary

A morning trading briefing on a market where mega-cap tech is selling off sharply while cyclical and equal-weight stocks rally, driven by oil’s pullback toward $94. Hosts cover key levels on SPY/QQQ, a beaten-down Apple, continuation scan setups in aerospace and homebuilders, and today’s catalysts: JOLTS data, midterm elections, and AMD earnings.

Key points

  • Market regime is 'cautious' with 53.59% of stocks above their 40-day SMA, but breadth is expanding 16.0 points on the 20-day SMA as capital rotates out of mega-cap tech into cyclicals.
  • Oil retreating to the $94 handle after a limited military exchange is easing inflation fears and supporting rate-sensitive and cyclical trades.
  • QQQ is deeply oversold (RSI 32.1) and clinging to its 200-day SMA at 680.12, while SPY sits at the bottom of its 20-day range near 752.10.
  • Apple is down 3.95% despite good earnings, a classic 'sell the news' reaction; traders are cautioned against averaging down.
  • 13 continuation signals are firing, all in cyclical non-tech names like TDG, DHI, and AXP, benefiting from falling oil and mortgage rate relief.
