Should You ALWAYS Buy the Dip?

Hey, Ross here:

Yesterday, I showed you why the bull market is stronger beneath the surface than the S&P 500 and Nasdaq would suggest.

Today, let’s answer the obvious question:

Should you just keep buying the dip?

Chart of the Day

Take a look at this first chart.

It shows the S&P 500’s bottom-up target price versus the actual closing price.

The dark line shows where analysts believe the S&P 500 should be based on their company-level price targets.

And right now, that target sits around 8,918.

That’s roughly 19% above where the S&P 500 is trading today.

Now, I don’t blindly trust analyst targets.

I never have.

But this does tell us something important:

Wall Street still sees meaningful upside from here.

And that’s backed up by the next chart.

During Q2, analysts actually raised earnings estimates by 3.4%.

That’s unusual.

Normally, analysts start the quarter too optimistic…

Then gradually cut estimates as reality sets in.

But this quarter, they did the opposite.

They raised numbers.

In fact, this was the biggest upward revision since Q2 2021.

So we have two pieces of evidence pointing in the same direction:

Analysts see more upside…

And earnings expectations are being revised higher, not lower.

That’s bullish.

But here’s where things get interesting.

Take a look at this final chart.

It shows retail cash buying on S&P 500 up days versus down days.

And in 2026, retail traders are buying dips aggressively.

Very aggressively.

In fact, the buying on down days is far above anything we’ve seen in recent years.

So yes…

Even retail has learned to buy the dip.

And to be fair, it has worked.

But as I explain below…

That doesn’t mean blindly buying every dip is the smartest move from here.

Insight of the Day

While retail is blindly buying dips, you can do better.

Buying the dip has worked.

No question about it.

Every time the market has pulled back, buyers have stepped in.

And now retail traders have learned the lesson too.

As the chart above shows, they’re buying down days aggressively – more aggressively than we’ve seen in years.

But when a trade becomes this obvious, you don’t want to be the last one doing it.

The easy version of “buy the dip” is no longer where the edge is.

The edge is looking beyond the broad index…

And knowing which dips in specific sectors are worth buying.

Because money is not flowing evenly across the market right now.

As I showed you yesterday, the “market of stocks” is strong…

But leadership is changing.

Money is rotating away from the most obvious momentum trades…

And into other areas that most traders are still not watching closely enough.

Why do you think the Dow just hit an all-time high – even as the Nasdaq is stalling?

The money flows are shifting.

And if you want to outperform in this kind of market, you don’t want to blindly buy the index.

You want to follow the big money flows into the stocks and sectors that could lead next.

That’s exactly what I’m going to show you later this morning at 11 a.m. Eastern.

I’m going LIVE to break down:

• The areas of the market I believe could lead next…
• How I’m tracking these money flows…
• And how to position before the crowd catches on.

The strategy I’ll be breaking down has helped put us onto moves of 155% in 150 days…

212% in 165 days…

424% in less than six months…

Even 524% in 13 months.

And I’ll see you in just a bit at 11 a.m. ET.
