Wild Friday Bounce
StatsEdgeTrading
Welcome to the market review. It's both the end of the week and month, so lots to dive into. Friday was especially lively. I do this for two reasons. First, for some discretionary trading. Second, and more importantly, to decide which algorithms to lean on for StatsEdge Trading. StatsEdge Pro members, after this review, I'll run the algorithms and compile all the data to deliver you a video by Sunday. Haven't signed up? Now's your chance!
Why Market Plans Matter
Trading can be rough sometimes. A solid plan brings consistency. Every week, I craft 30 researched ideas, analyze them for entries and exits, and prepare for the next trading week. Markets are shaky, but sticking to the plan eases the mind.
“Even when times aren't fun, I know I'm going to come in next week and have a strategy.”
Diving into Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin: What's Up?
Bitcoin recently dipped to $77,000 before bouncing back. Watch that level carefully. Falling below could mean more downside. Recovering into the previous range might push it higher.
Ethereum and Solana: Can They Hold?
Ethereum's struggling, but Solana looks a bit better at least maintaining its support. Both need to hold for upward potential.
Traditional Markets: Dollar and SPY Insights
Keep an eye on the dollar index. If it falls below $106, we might see earlier levels. Breaking $110 could mean fresh highs.
Inside the SPY and Technology Sector
A Balancing Act on SPY
Four months of indecision in SPY. It's all noise until a breakout happens. Meanwhile, tech is showing weakness compared to 'boomer' stocks like finance and healthcare.
Warren Buffett vs. Cathie Wood: A Market Story
The market's favoring value investing over growth. Sectors like defense, financials, and healthcare are outperforming.
Exploring Markets Globally
International markets like China's EWJ and UK's EWU are near highs. Consider exploring opportunities beyond large-cap tech.
“Expand your horizons—consider sectors and geographies beyond the narrow band of usual suspects.”
Final Thoughts: Stay Alert, Stay Agile
Focus on fast-moving opportunities. Buy pullbacks, sell rips. Remember, as a mentor said:
“Your job is to stay alive until you can get lucky.”
