Trend Signal Now: Into earnings: the disconnects are getting wider

Monday, November 24, 2025

We're heading into the retail portion of earnings season, and a few disconnects are getting hard to ignore:

Price action isn't matching on-the-ground demand
Some "strong" brands are flashing weak traffic
A few beaten-down names look healthier than their charts
And several retailers are entering earnings with inventory positions that don't fit the narrative

When these gaps show up in earnings, the reactions are rarely subtle.
This is where we usually see the biggest single-day moves of the quarter — both directions.

Macke will break down:

The names most exposed to expectation risk
The ones where consumer behavior suggests potential surprises
Which setups he's preparing on both the long and short side
And how he's thinking about options with Sean as volatility picks up

If retail is going to move the tape — this is the week it happens.

Scheduling note: The retail earnings session has been shifted to Tuesday, December 2nd at 1 PM ET so Jeff can review real Black Friday and Cyber Monday behavior live.
