Sell in May?

THe seasonality tailwind in April turns more bearish for May as recent outcomes are mildly in the red.  THe key is simple. Can SPY / QQQ breakout to new highs to open the door to a leg higher? Also, I will be looking to see if the cyclical / re-opening trade re-asserts itself in May after being down about 3% in April. In the video I cover off relative strength of QQQ vs SPY and IWM. Understanding the relative strength will help us in our positioning.

I dont want to sell in May just for the sake of doing it. We have no sell signals at this point. Lets stay objective and make decisions based on levels.
