Why I was steadfast about SPX, NDX rising

Did S&P 500 decline to my support level of low 5,970s given to clients? It took time following a bit underwhelming retail sales and unemployment claims, yet hot manufacturing data, but it did. Similarly some more tech weakness in key big names (AAPL, NVDA, less so AMD and SMCI – check TSLA too) exercised their weight, but otherwise it had been a risk-on day, one of recovering from a shallow pullback (several attempts that got quickly bought) – in line with the premarket prospects shared.

Check out today‘s premarket video where I talk why failed chart patterns have such a great power, and I would say we‘re in for a surprise move – basing first, and then pushing higher. Didn‘t we have enough of a false breakdown already? Have a look at Bitcoin over $102K today, and beware of typical opex volatility off the open. Run though my latest articles or videos, and compare the breadth developments for yourself.

The clues are clear, and clients were told days ago already, their open profits are growing – here is a little commented preview of what Trading Signals and Stock Signals clients are getting.

Gold poised to challenge record highs

Gold prices added roughly 3% in the week, flirting with the $4,350 mark on Friday, to finally settle at around $4,330. Despite its safe-haven condition, the bright metal rallied in a risk-on scenario, amid broad US Dollar weakness.

Week ahead: US NFP and CPI, BoE, ECB and BoJ mark a busy week

After Fed decision, dollar traders lock gaze on NFP and CPI data. Will the BoE deliver a dovish interest rate cut? ECB expected to reiterate “good place” mantra. Will a BoJ rate hike help the yen recover some of its massive losses?

Big week ends with big doubts

The S&P 500 continued to push higher yesterday as the US 2-year yield wavered around the 3.50% mark following a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut earlier this week that was ultimately perceived as not that hawkish after all. The cut is especially boosting the non-tech pockets of the market.
