And let’s not forget the power of exporting an Italian classic to the Middle Kingdom.  This week, the Yum! Brands chain tossed up its 3000th restaurant in China, tapping into the rising fondness for western-style casual dining.  But, here’s the big cheese: Technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is slowly making its way into the restaurant kitchens, and it's not just for showing off tech toys to investors.  AI is streamlining operations like ordering and food prep, not to mention making the hiring process easier. Now, who wouldn’t want to place an order with a robotic voice that never forgets your favorite toppings?  Speaking of toppings, let's address the elephant (or should I say, cow?) in the room: Cheese. It's no secret that cheese is the beating heart of any pizza.  Thankfully, the feta gods have smiled upon us, and cheese prices have plunged almost 20% this year.  All these factors might just be the secret recipe for a healthy bottom line in the upcoming quarters for QSRs.  And trust me, no one’s complaining about having more dough — especially if you're Domino’s Pizza, Inc. or Papa John’s International, Inc.  Now, talking about Domino’s, they’ve just delivered a game-changer: the Pinpoint Delivery system. It's like dropping a marker on Google Maps, but instead of directions, you get a hot, cheesy pizza.  Domino’s is known to lead the pack when it comes to embracing technology, and this could potentially redefine the QSR space.  Even amidst challenges, this year promises to be a recovery year for Domino's. They are fiercely pushing back against third-party services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. But with technology on their side, they’re definitely not throwing in the towel just yet.  So, will Papa John’s be left eating Domino's dust?  After enduring five quarters of drooping profits, there might just be a light at the end of this pizza oven for them.  They’re shaking things up with value items like the XL New York-style pie for just $12.99. Not to mention, their bold mash-ups with Doritos, like the $7.99 Cool Ranch Papadias, could be the wildcard they need.  While profits are forecast to drop around 6% this year, Papa John’s might just make a delicious comeback next year.  Remember their claim: "Better ingredients. Better pizza." Let’s hope soon they can add "Better profits" to that tagline.  Despite being down 12% year-to-date, Papa John's remains a hot favorite with analysts. Loop Capital Markets kept their "buy" rating on Papa John's, setting a street-high $114 price target.  Despite current market sentiment leaning towards the negative, don’t be surprised if the 2024 recovery storyline tops this pizza drama. Now, isn't that a 'slice' of good news?  Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: With all the hoopla in the markets inflation recession, what now then?

Blink and you might just miss that golden opportunity, right?  The question you might be pondering is: "Have I missed the bus on the recent tech gains?"  Worry not. If you're willing to wear the hat of a trader, there's a chance for you to get aboard. We've been hinting at this shift in our recent digests - the trader’s mindset could be your North Star in these times of uncertainty.  Aha, so what's this trader's mindset, you ask?  Well, it's the perspective that perceives stocks not as a collection for a museum, but as wealth-generating power tools.  As long as these tools help you rake in the green, they deserve a place in your toolkit. But when their potency diminishes, it's time to switch tools or even take a little breather.  Adopting this viewpoint could offer some respite from the all-too-familiar dread: "Am I too late to join the profit party?"  Instead of feeling anchored by "ownership", you become a "renter", deftly moving from one promising opportunity to another. Quite liberating, don’t you think?  Let’s analyze what the markets are whispering about current conditions. Well, after an anticipated short-term pullback, there seems to be a promise of a return to a bullish streak.  As the saying goes, 'What goes down, must come up…' Or was it the other way around? Nevermind.  The Relative Strength Index (RSI), our handy-dandy momentum indicator, suggests that a short-term retreat might be on the horizon, particularly for tech.  (article continues below) Sponsored [Your Chance to Get a Piece of the Crypto Pie]( Cryptos could be staging a comeback in 2023. This could be your chance to take part in a historic rally.[See the best coin to buy right now.]( [Privacy Policy/Disclosures]( SPONSORED  🔼 Pay attention, this is worth your time! ☝  (article continues)  When the RSI breaches 70, the asset is deemed overbought, implying an increased chance of a mean-reversion pull back.  On the contrary, an RSI reading under 30 suggests an oversold state, hinting at a possible surge.  Much like my diet plans, these pullbacks and surges don’t always pan out. But the RSI remains a useful tool, and it's currently sending us smoke signals that the tech trade could use a breather.  Take a peek at the Nasdaq 100 and its RSI chart. It's been the belle of the ball in 2023. The Dow has been somewhat stationary, and the S&P is rising largely due to Big Tech's muscular performance.  The tale of the Nasdaq 100 over the past couple of years is quite the yarn. This year’s bullish run has culminated in a peak surge of 38%. However, the recent dip suggests the market could be taking a breather, just like me after a set of squats.  As we dig deeper, we discover more signs of a strained market in the Nasdaq 100's moving averages (MAs), which display the average of the prior days’ market prices.  The gap between the 50-day MA and the Nasdaq 100's price is widening faster than my waistline during the holidays.  When we shift our gaze to market volume, we notice that the recent pullback began with a robust volume, whereas the bullish 'buy the dip' day demonstrated less heft. It's still early days, but we can already observe a spike in volume accompanying this selloff.  So, where does this leave us? With a high chance of the market retracting its steps in the near future. But that doesn’t mean we bid adieu to the bullish run just yet.  Despite these caution signs, our dear friend FOMO is doing its usual rounds, ushering cash back into the market.  Even the most persistent pessimists are succumbing to the lure of soaring returns. This influx of money keeps the market chugging along, coaxing more bears to embrace their inner bulls.  Combine that with the powerful bullish surge revealed by the market's trendlines, and you'll notice that everything is looking up!  Now, I must admit, I've been more bear than bull for quite some time, given the disconcerting state of the commercial real estate sector, the dwindling pandemic savings of U.S. consumers, and the worrisome valuations of certain stocks.  However, these long-term market concerns don't necessarily eclipse the short-term bullish rule of the day. What do you do when your short and long-term market views are playing a game of tug-of-war? You could sell, do nothing, or you could trade.  Given the current dominance of bullishness, I'm placing my bets on trading. Stay on the lookout for short-term market volatility, consider weakness as an opportunity for strategic entry-points, and remain mindful of the red flags in the long run.  Remember, there’s no harm in being ready to jump ship if the day of reckoning arrives.
