You’ve heard of a Rorschach test, right? The one where you’re shown a series of inkblot images – and your answers are used as a psychological analysis tool? Well today, it’s time for your TECH sector test!

Here’s my MoneyShow Chart of the Day — a nine-month chart of the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). Do you think it’s bullish? Or bearish?

If you’re a bull, you’ll probably point to the recent 10-day winning streak and the fact the QQQs are back to roughly breakeven on the year. If you’re a bear, you’ll probably highlight how the QQQs have gone nowhere since November, and that we’ve been rallying on steadily falling volume.

I didn’t show the charts here. But bulls could also point to the fact the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) is near its old highs...while bears could say the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) remain well below their pre-war peaks.

So, what do you see? Something to get excited about? Or a market that still hasn’t proved itself?

Make sure you can answer that question to your OWN satisfaction before committing more capital here. From where I sit though, it looks like the jury is still out.

At the 2026 MoneyShow Las Vegas, Daron Wagner shared why trading psychology must be the foundation of everything you do. Even the best strategy is worthless if fear or greed stops you from following it. The key to staying out of trouble? Trade what you see, not what you think.
