In this edition of StockCharts TV's The Final Bar, Dave recaps another strong up day for growth leadership names, with ULTA and NVDA powering higher after retail sales numbers pushed aside inflation fears. He notes the cautious positioning in the NAAIM Exposure Index, Bitcoin's failed attempt to push above the 60K level, and key levels to watch for NVDA, ULTA, FICO, GIS, and T.
