I said this on the Opening Playbook and I’ll say it again here — I think we’re headed for all-time highs.
But not just a slow grind back to the top.
Right now, we’re in a fast, top-heavy squeeze. And I think we have the chance to run past previous highs by 5–7% before we hit the next real wall (and, in my opinion, likely flush hard to the downside again). It’s the kind of thing that happens when liquidity floods in and nobody wants to be left behind.
The rally has already surprised a lot of traders. And if you’ve been watching, it’s not just a bounce — it’s a leader-driven squeeze. That’s why I’m not just long the market broadly… I’m focused on where the real heat is.
Let’s break it down.
Yes, SPY and small caps have had great runs — up 15% or more in just a few weeks.
But that’s just the first layer. Stack on the Nasdaq, and it’s even stronger.
Then come the Magnificent Seven stocks — they’re up more dramatically.
And then there’s Bitcoin, which is leading the pack with huge moves.
So if the market is going to rip higher, I want to be in the stuff that’s going to rip the fastest.
That’s why I’m heavily focused on two plays right now:
- MAGS (Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF)
- IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust)
These are my go-to tickers for trading the leaders directly. MAGS gives you exposure to the biggest drivers in tech — names like Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple.
And IBIT gives you clean exposure to Bitcoin, which I still think has room to run into $120k+ territory over the next few months.
You could also make a case for XLK (Technology) or some high-growth sectors that are showing strength — but the core idea is this:
When momentum shows up, you want to be where the fire is already burning.
Because if I’m wrong — and this rally fades — I’ll still be wrong whether I’m holding SPY or MAGS. But if I’m right, I want to be right in an outsized way.
This market is rewarding aggressiveness in the right places.
And while I’m still managing risk like always, I’m not here to play defense on a breakout. I’m here to let the strongest names lead — and ride them for everything they’re worth.
