Active Investing Edge Mentoring for 07/13/2026

Active Investing Edge

By Geoff Bysshe

Video Summary:

Geoff stated that the market opened with a significant gap lower in the semiconductor sector (SMH), which landed right at a critical technical inflection point near its 50-day moving average and a previous reversal level. He noted that while the S&P 500 (SPY) remains in a bullish structure after its Friday breakout, the tech-heavy Nasdaq and SMH are under intense pressure, partly due to the weak second-day performance of the SK Hynix (SK) listing. Geoff explained that the intermarket picture is complicated by crude oil (USO) resuming its uptrend, which is putting additional pressure on bonds (TLT), now identified as being in "trouble" territory below the 85 level. He further detailed a strategic pivot for the session, focusing on identifying "accelerated leadership to the downside" among individual semiconductors while using the opening range as a primary directional bias for the tech trade. Finally, Geoff demonstrated the utility of the 5-minute opening range breakout using Apple (AAPL) as a "safety tech" play and introduced the newly integrated Active Investing Edge platform, which now features live, interactive opportunity reports and streaming mentoring.
