Wall Street says the rally needs to rotate beyond tech — accumulate European sto
Created
Thesis
Citi is highlighting that for the stock market to keep climbing, money needs to rotate out of the crowded tech trade and into cheaper sectors and regions. At the same time, UBS and Deutsche Bank just raised their targets for European stocks, citing accelerating profit growth and resilience to global turmoil. With AI fatigue setting in and European valuations looking attractive, this sets up a clear rotation trade where money flows from expensive tech into overlooked European shares.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long EZU on D1 when the fund closes above its 20-day high and the 10-day moving average is above the 50-day moving average, with a 30-day max hold and a 7% trailing stop.
