There was a sharp market rally that followed the early April lows—what many are calling a “V-bottom”—and most investors missed the rebound. Today let's talk about how real-time market data, not media narratives, pointed to improving conditions well before the news of tariff reductions between the U.S. and China hit. I also compare today’s market setup to the mid-1998 Dot-Com period, not the bubble peak, highlighting what historical patterns and investor sentiment are signaling now. If you’re wondering whether it’s too late to get back in—or if the rally is real—this video gives you my honest perspective, backed by data, charts, and the research we’re doing daily at Oak Harvest.
