Caruso Weekend Report: July 06, 2025

Weekend Summary
Markets powered to new highs as small and mid-cap stocks helped lift the net number of 52-week highs to new bull market records. The wall of worry continues to be climbed as markets roll past all major concerns. The biggest driver is the AI revolution, which continues to transform our lives and markets.

Small and mid-caps delivered about twice the return of the SPY and QQQ this past week, with strong breakouts from sideways consolidation. This broad move indicates that we are moving past the initial stages of this bull market into the middle phase, where nearly everyone participates. Though this is very bullish going forward, the short-term upside burst has led to elevated FOMO (indicator seen below), which typically precedes pauses and consolidation.
Having been extremely aggressive in recent weeks, this FOMO reading leaves us preferring pullback setups in the coming days and hedging leaders such as HOOD, which has climbed over 100% from our early May buys.
Market attention has also shifted this week to more interest-rate-sensitive stocks, with names on our Leader List such as UPST leading gains.
Our structured weekly process allowed us to avoid the early 2025 bear market while repositioning early in this new bull market.
