LIVE: This Tech Selloff Isn't What It Looks Like: The "ETF Drag" Sparking Volatility in CRWD + DOC + ASAN

Editor’s Note: Tomorrow, I’m revealing one of the most important structural shifts in modern market forecasting.

Earlier this year, a powerhouse financial firm began integrating probability-based market signals into its platforms.

For the first time, traders can directly compare Wall Street analyst forecasts with real-money probability signals generated outside the traditional financial system.

This fast-growing “shadow market” often adjusts days — sometimes weeks — before stocks respond.

I’ve already used these signals to identify rapid moves in stocks like SunRun (151% in 2 days), BHP (189% in 17 days), Alphatec (213%), and Snap (375%+ combined).

Even this quarter, my closed trades are running at a 60% win rate, with an average return of 85.76% over roughly 31 days.

On Wednesday, February 25^th, I’m breaking down how this new forecasting layer works — and why I believe the current environment may offer one of the most opportunity-rich setups I’ve seen in decades.

After tech’s “Black Monday” moment a couple of weeks ago, the entire sector is selling off once again.

And just like last time, all that indiscriminate selling is handing us serious opportunities – if we look in the right corners of the stock market.

That’s where the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) comes into play. It’s a basket of roughly 100 software companies — and it’s widely used by institutions and retail investors for broad exposure.

Investors are selling the ETF in droves as I write to you. And when that happens, market makers are forced to liquidate every underlying holding proportionally to meet redemptions.

This process isn’t based on earnings quality or competitive strength. It’s mechanical.

And right now, IGV has broken its 200-week moving average.

This week’s bounce stalled exactly at the prior three-week low. The setup suggests systematic selling may not be finished.

Fortunately for us, this is exactly where our strategies come into play.

You see, ETF drag doesn’t distinguish between survivors and casualties.

High-quality operators like ServiceNow, CrowdStrike, and Tyler Technologies are being sold alongside companies with genuinely deteriorating moats like DocuSign and Asana.

That indiscriminate pressure is the dislocation. And this is where opportunity lives for us here at Masters in Trading.

We know large institutional investors simply cannot afford to NOT own software stocks—they're too large a part of the market and economy to ignore completely.

After the initial panic subsides, the same institutions that sold off must eventually buy back in to maintain their sector allocations. And that creates predictable buying pressure we can leverage in our portfolios.

We’ve already used volatility in tech to collect doubles on stocks like C3.ai (AI) and NerdWallet (NRDS)…

And we just managed a 300% gainer in Fastly (FSLY) last week.

All this indiscriminate volatility in tech is handing us even more opportunities just like these stocks today.

So join me for today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11AM EST, where I’ll break down the latest volatility in tech and the underlying market dynamics fueling this fire sale. I’ll break down the key picks we’ve used to profit from tech volatility – and I’ll show you what stocks are tipping off my Unusual Options Activity (UOA) Scanner today.
