Record-breaking momentum in Q1 as bullish signal strength shorts surge through resistance. The squeeze playing out across US equity hedge fund positioning has been relentless. What's striking is how consensus hasn't turned bullish enough yet—there's still room for sentiment to shift.

This mismatch between technical strength and market positioning could be the fuel for the next leg up.

Retail investors haven't even gotten on board yet, and institutions are already quietly positioning themselves. This is a sign of a upcoming wipeout of retail investors.

Here comes the old script of institutions vs retail investors again? I think, it's just that they haven't squeezed enough retail investors yet.
