Insider Tips for November 24, 2025
In this week’s Insider Tips, I walked through a clear picture of a red market that continues to show signs of weakness across every major index. We’ve been consolidating for weeks, but the charts now look like they’re rolling down, with the NASDAQ, S&P, Dow, and NYSE all breaking below their 50-day moving averages. Panic is rising in the VIX, breadth is deteriorating, and leadership is narrowing. While this doesn’t feel like a crash, it does look like a meaningful correction where caution is essential. I also reviewed key stocks—some showing resilience like Apple and Alphabet, others taking heavy damage like NVIDIA, Tesla, AMD, SoFi, and Robinhood—and wrapped up with reminders to stay patient, protect capital, and start building a watchlist for when the next green market returns.
Market Overview & Technical Analysis
The market has been in a broad consolidation for weeks, flipping between green, yellow, and red signals, but now the overall structure looks like it’s rolling over. The candles resemble past warning setups—large, heavy distribution days followed by weak bounces. Historically, when those appear, the market tends to revisit prior levels.
Across all major indices, the message is consistent:
• NASDAQ:
Rolling under the 8-, 21-, and 50-day moving averages. That kind of convergence to the downside often points toward a test of the 200-day.
• S&P 500:
Another breakdown under the 50. Momentum is fading quickly.
• Dow Jones:
A particularly nasty candle—high volume, closed on the lows, and firmly lost the 50-day. That’s institutional selling.
• NYSE Composite:
Same story. Everything is aligned to the downside, which adds conviction to the red market reading.
• VIX:
Volatility is popping higher, signaling increasing fear and more money moving to the sidelines.
• Market Breadth (Advancers vs. Decliners):
The advance-decline line is deteriorating sharply. More lows than highs. This confirms internal weakness.
This overall setup feels like a correction—not necessarily a crash—but corrections can unfold as “rolling crashes,” where losses compound quietly until you're suddenly down 10–15%. That’s why we respect the red market and tighten our defensive posture.
Individual Stocks & Leadership Trends
Apple (AAPL)
One of the strongest names in the market right now.
The relative strength line is rising, and unlike most stocks, Apple is not breaking below the 50-day. These are the kinds of leaders that typically emerge first once the market flips back to green.
NVIDIA (NVDA)
Earnings were strong, but price action wasn’t.
It opened strong then reversed hard, breaking under the 50-day on both weekly and daily charts with high-volume distribution.
The downtrend from 212 continues toward sub-180. It’s tempting as a buy candidate, but the sellers aren’t done yet.
Tesla (TSLA)
No catalyst, no strength, nothing but selling pressure.
Below the 50-day and likely revisiting the 367 breakout level. This is pure profit-taking combined with a weak market environment.
AMD
Eight straight down days.
Below the 50-day.
Semiconductors in general are showing outright damage. Not healthy.
Broadcom (AVGO)
Slightly stronger than AMD, but still below the 50-day and stuck in a profit-taking zone. Not ready for entry.
Robinhood (HOOD)
150 → 106 in a sharp correction.
Looks like a double-top setup, which could make it a short candidate if it bounces back to the 50-day.
SoFi (SOFI)
This year’s “Robinhood”… but the chart says otherwise.
32 → 24 in a steep drop. No leadership here.
HIMS & HERS (HIMS)
Steady downtrend.
A 50% correction off recent highs. Hard to reclaim those levels in a weak market.
Alphabet (GOOGL)
One of the best-looking stocks in the entire market.
Hit all-time highs before reversing. Strong RS, strong performance, and powered by AI initiatives.
Multiple gaps below likely need to be filled eventually, but the leadership is undeniable.

Conclusion
In this Insider Tips session, my message is simple: respect the red market. We’re in a period where charts are breaking down across the board, volatility is rising, and breadth is deteriorating. There’s no need to panic, but it’s essential to protect your capital and avoid forcing trades when the setups just aren’t there. Strong names like Apple and Alphabet are showing resilience, and those will likely lead when the next green market arrives. Until then, stay cautious, build your watchlist, and remember—this is a season for patience and preparation, not aggression. And as we move into the Thanksgiving mindset, focus on gratitude, family, and the things that matter more than the markets.
Current Market Condition:
In this week’s Insider Tips, I explained that we are clearly in a red market, with all major indices—NASDAQ, S&P 500, Dow Jones, and the NYSE—rolling over and breaking below their 50-day moving averages. The candles over the last few sessions show heavy selling, and the VIX is popping higher, indicating rising panic and money moving to the sidelines. Market breadth continues to deteriorate, with more lows than highs and a weak advance-decline line. While this doesn’t feel like a full crash, it does look like a meaningful correction that could quietly evolve into a deeper “rolling” drawdown if ignored. In a red market, the goal isn’t to run for the hills but to stay cautious, protect capital, and avoid forcing trades until conditions improve.
