As one of Wall Street’s most respected technical strategists, Gene Peroni, President, Peroni Portfolio Advisors, provides daily stock market commentary in a concise, easily accessible podcast.
Gene breaks down the volatile start to 2026 and explains how the major indexes are signaling trends likely to persist throughout the year—most notably the continued relative strength of both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation Average.
Stock market leadership has been shifting since late October of last year. Gene provides an analysis of the major market indexes' performance to substantiate his perspective.
In Gene's view, we are far enough into 2026 to validate several of the market patterns that have been forming this year. He is referring to the market's bottom‑up characteristics, focusing on the underlying trends across the major market indexes.
Gene highlights last Friday's powerful, record-setting session, emphasizing that the Dow's surge past the 50,000 mark reinforces the market's strong momentum—even if it doesn't yet signal a major technical shift in his view.

It is my prediction that 2026 will be the year of the also-rans. The picture is changing even if we look at the market in a top down perspective. In the opening days of 2026 we've seen some interesting characteristics...
Gene reports about higher volatility over the short run based in part on the CBOE Volatility Index.
Gene presents revised support and resistant levels for the major indexes.
I recently presented my observation that investor focus may be shifting from digital to analog. I think that is becoming more evident in recent sessions including a day like yesterday. Where we saw a pretty strong rally among the major market indices; but technology which got off to a pretty good start in the morning quickly fizzled and reversed course. So I think the appetite for technology, for AI might be easing here a bit. I don't think it is dwindling or moving into the sunset by any means, but I don't think it is going to be a forefront leadership category as it has been for a number of years...
Final report of 2025. Gene discusses the railroad sector of the market for 2026.
Reviewing the the support parameters and resistance levels near term, for the major indices including the S&P 400 Mid Cap index..
As we close in on the final trading days of 2025, the outlook for 2026 looks quite good; at least from my technical perspective. Looking at a number of individual stocks that are trending to short term highs or fifty-two week highs, or even moving beyond those levels. There is a pretty good swath of sectors and themes represented by these individual stocks, the depth of individual stocks representing these themes and sectors is growing not diminishing...
The trepidation in the market reflected in part by the volatility that we have experienced since the end of October. I think reflects in part concerns about next year and the second year of a presidency, the mid-term election cycle. Historically the market has not performed in the second year of a presidency, but that is not a hard and fast rule, there can be a number of variables that can certainly alter the outcome of the second year of a presidency. Perhaps more importantly the concern is about the economy and how it will fare next year..
Stock futures indicated higher ahead of this mornings opening, and this is a rally that could stick. This could be the start of the much anticipated Santa Claus rally; or the rally I had mentioned I thought could get underway in the last weeks of December.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is emerging as a star performer as we close in on 2025, of course there are a number of weeks left before the end of this year. But we can see here especially in November that there has been quite a bit of portfolio shuffling readjustments, in part perhaps because of external factors, whether its been the government shutdown, tariffs, the fed, earnings, all these things in the mix. But more over I think it is a market that is seeking some of the underperforming areas this year, and giving a little more focus and attention to those areas rather than the big momentum players.
November has ushered in a different brand of volatility, not of the detrimental sort but as I see it more of the constructive variety. The rotational movements we have been seeing have been generally constructive an overall the movements have bolstered support near or at the levels I have been mentioning since October 28th. An these are fairly aggressive support areas, so the markets retreat here has been generally shallow, so much of the consolidation has been accomplished through rotational movements, an I see that as a good thing.
Yesterdays broad based rally among the major market indices was encouraging from the stand point that it seemed to bolster the support levels that I previously mentioned, an those are aggressive support areas. So these are levels not designed by the popular moving averages but by what I see, from my technical viewpoint, looking more at what some of the more short term trend lines are representing...
A couple of points about last week for one thing the COBE volatility index did rally up into the low twenties, that was a minimum objective so that was a box checked. And the other item is that the major indices pulled back to their support levels. In some cases there was a temporary breach of those support levels on an intraday basis, but by the end of trading on Friday they had reclaimed their support levels...
Wall Street chatter seems to be increasingly focused on the possibility of a technology bubble, I do not see it that way I think technology is in a general correction and intermediate consolidation and one that might be arguably overdue....
