Surviving the Red Day: Big Money is Hiding in Tech & Industrials While Dumping Defensives 📉🔥

Had a rough day out there? You aren't the only one!

​

​SPY dropped -1.25%, but it’s a stealthy "Risk-ON" rotation. Big institutions are aggressively dumping safe spaces like Real Estate and Consumer Staples to hide out in Industrials (XLI) and Tech (XLK) relative to the crashing market.

​

​Why the wild split? Traders are completely holding their breath ahead of the massive triple-witching options expiration this Friday and parsing the aftermath of the Fed rate decision! Industrials and Tech have acceleration flags for entry.

​

​Interesting how the market is going to react this week.
