Trading notes: It is the last trading session of 2025 and the market is attempting to avoid making it a 4-day losing streak. Volume remains very light, and I expect it to be the same again today until we get near the close, when there is a flurry of trading activity that tends to take

Trading notes: SPY finished lower for a second straight day, but the pullback has been minimal and expectedly so, as the market isn't seeing huge levels of volume pouring in on the selling, which puts into doubt the sustainability of the selling, especially when you consider the lack of depth to the selling overall and during

Trading notes: Stocks are selling off to start the final week of trading in 2025, and with that we are seeing heavy selling among precious metals - particularly silver and gold, which has NEM selling off as well, and will result in me taking profits on the final 1/3 of my trade in the stock.

Trading notes: SPY and QQQ are attempting to go for six straight days higher, after the former made new all-time highs for the first time since 10/29. I am willing to add additional long exposure but we also want to make sure that we aren't getting overly aggressive with new position as the market inches towards

Trading notes: Get ready for one of the lowest volume trading sessions of the year with the half day of trading on Christmas Eve. It is just about one of the most inconsequential days of trading, barring a significant headline event, of the year. On top of that, breakouts and price action in general means very

Trading notes: A quick heads up going into the Christmas holiday, the stock market will be open tomorrow, Christmas Eve, until 1pm, and closed on Christmas Day.

Trading notes: After Friday's rally on the indices, you saw breadth struggle at 1:1, despite a 1.3% performance out of QQQ. The mega caps, particularly NVDA are popping back up again and showing signs it wants to make a run here, which will provide a heavy lift to the broader market as well. Financials and semiconductors

Trading notes: CPI came in much more cooler than expected at 2.7% vs 3.1% expected. This has futures popping quite a bit, and appears that the mega caps will largely be the benefactors of the strength we are seeing in the pre-market. With the indices being oversold in the short-term, the conditions are there for

Trading notes: Big earnings report for the AI trade later today in MU, which reports after the bell. I'm staying away from the semis right now as a result, and because of the strong bearish reactions to a number of AI trades of late (think ORCL, AVGO, etc.). SPY held the 50-day moving average yesterday after

Trading notes: November's employment is out and the market has seen hardly any response to the report. I think the same game plan from yesterday is in effect again today. There has been some heavy selling pressures of late, and over the last two trading sessions. Volume has been well above average, which is different
