The Great Rotation looks real — this is not a crash, just a shift.
For years, trading mega‑caps was the cleanest game in town: deep liquidity, tight spreads, predictable structure == great profits.
But that edge is gone. Volume’s rotating out, and these names are turning fast, spiky, and flow‑driven.
You’re seeing more MOO/LOO spikes, fewer smooth trends. Same tickers, some of the same price movements; but completely different trade.
When liquidity leaves, volatility takes over. Stops get hunted, fake breaks show up, pullbacks dig deeper.
It’s not that your indicators stopped working — it’s the tape that changed.
If you are considering trading any of the mega caps/ tech/ AI / software stocks in the list above; consider making these changes to your strategy:
Drop down to a lower timeframe
Not to scalp — just to spot impulses early and dodge the chop.
Cut your size.
There is a saying:
If volatility doubles, and you don’t size down, the market will do it for you.
Ditch arbitrary stops.
Use volatility‑based ones. Wider stops, smaller size, fewer trades.
Meanwhile, for the first time since the early 2000's rotation names are showing structure again
Rotation stocks and small caps are showing strong upward grind without the volatility and spikes.
The market’s not breaking; it’s broadening. Different flows, different rhythm, different mindset.
Make sure to trade what’s moving cleanly — not what
used to.
