Weekly Outlook

Market confirmed its uptrend Thursday with broad participation and volume expanding across all major indexes. Nasdaq led at +1.96% on above-average volume. Distribution count remains low. This is the environment you want to be buying into, not waiting out.

Semiconductors and AI infrastructure names continue to dominate the leaders list. Three setups crossed into the buy zone this week. Two are in position at half size pending confirmation.

Execution window: Tuesday through Thursday only. Do not chase Friday breakouts into the weekend.
