Welcome!

Joel Elconin – Inflation Data, and the Relentless Big Tech Rally, When Will The Market Top? 

Cory
August 14, 2025

 

Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, joins the KE Report to discuss how markets shrugged off a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) print and why big tech continues to lead the charge.

 

We break down:

 

  • Inflation surprise: PPI’s sharp jump and why the market still expects Fed rate cuts.

  • Sector divergence: Big tech strength vs. small-cap struggles as rates rise.

  • IPO and crypto surge: What the frothy IPO market and Bitcoin highs signal about investor sentiment.

  • Defensive assets: Why gold remains rangebound despite macro uncertainty.

  • Market psychology: Momentum dominance, risk-on sentiment, and whether anything can derail this rally.

    DT – This is from my worksheet: https://ibb.co/d4FF2zxB
    I have detailed it so that you can follow along.

    The first target after liftoff was 1.86 (which had additional support).
    Instead, 1.73 was hit — short of the 1:1 ABCD, but an advance of AB by 38.2%.

      HydroGraph to date, including target.
      ‘Volume Vector’ into the close.

        89¢ for ‘A’ fit parameters better than 72¢.

        The WS1 68.2% extension matches WS2’s 50%.
        This target, 2.56, could be a gap up at open.

        We will know more in the morning.
        Any questions? BDC
