U.S. stocks technicals: check levels before direction

There’s no new narrative in U.S. stocks today, just price moves.

Let’s put the numbers on the table first, then talk about what they mean.

U.S. Dollar Index 102.05 (5-day +0.26%)
Nasdaq 26,169 (5-day -0.99%, Yahoo)
10-year Treasury yield 4.99% (5-day -2.56%)

My take: The 10-year yield is at 4.99%, down -2.56% over five days. Falling rates give risk assets a window, but what matters is whether that window stays open—not just one daily candle.

Crypto comparison: BTC 79770 (24h +0.03%), ETH 2312 (-0.17%). ETH at -0.17% is tracking closely with BTC at +0.03%; the exchange rate is 0.02898. Without an independent move, don’t make a one-way bet on altcoins.

What to watch next: On the crypto side, there’s just one thing to watch: can BTC close above its 24h high of 80845? If it can’t, talk of it following the move is just bluster.

My position: I only buy pullbacks; I don’t chase breakouts. If the structure holds, I can keep a core position. Any add-on has to wait for a pullback to my level.

Are you sitting in cash and waiting for a pullback, or are you already on board?

Useful tip: During earnings season, listen to the guidance, not the CEO’s vision for next year.
Thought: The dollar has strengthened over five days, while BTC is still up: treat it as an independent move, but discount its staying power.
