Dana Lyons - Technical Outlook on Software, Semis, and the Metals Complex

The KE Report Apr 24, 2026

Summary

Dana Lyons analyzes the recent V-shaped market recovery, attributing the price thrust primarily to extreme bearish positioning and institutional short covering.

Software ETF (IGV) is highlighted as presenting a unique contrarian technical entry point, diverging from traditional relative strength models.

Precious metals face a challenging short-term environment, while increased participation from mid-caps and the Russell 2000 is critical for sustained rally.
