Jesse LivermoreSeventy-three names scanned and not one willing to commit. That tells me the tape is not ready to pay for conviction. The forty laggards and thirty-three hesitant ones are all noise; the line of least resistance is sideways, and I do not fight that. AEHR, BAGX, IWM breaking down only confirms what the breadth already whispers. A market that cannot produce a single fresh high is a market telling you to keep your powder dry. I will not probe until price proves it can hold its gains for more than a session.
