U.S. stocks advanced ahead of the long weekend, positioning the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ for an eight-week winning streak. This marks the longest weekly run for the benchmark index since December 2023. The S&P 500 rose 0.88% after approaching to our bearish target of 7,325 and bounced. The $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ gained +1.2% also after touching its bearish target of 28,609 and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ added 2.2% during the week. This late-week strength emerged as investors absorbed falling government bond yields and a pullback in energy costs (Crude Oil $WTI Crude Oil - main 2607(CLmain)$ fell -8.2% during these five days). Th

Back in November 2025, I published a special study outlining our primary bullish target for 2026: 7,470 on the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ . Today, that exact mark has been reached, defying the widespread pessimism observed back in March. That analysis was rooted entirely in documented technical patterns, with zero gut feeling involved. Last Wednesday, our Market Intelligence study provided a clear roadmap for what to expect over the next few months, and Friday’s reversal appears to strongly validate the thesis we laid out. Furthermore, back on March 28, this publication highlighted the high probability of a bounce. By disciplined tracking of our weekly SPX levels and key technical indicators, we successfully navigated a 16%+ rally using one simple rule:

U.S. equities retreated from recent record highs as geopolitical friction and a sharp bond market decline weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ printed a muted week with a net gain of +0.13%, the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ closed muted -0.1%, and the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ declined -0.38%. Sector dynamics told a divergent story. Energy outperformed sharply, rising +6.7% during the week ( $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ ), while high-growth equities bore the brunt of the selloff. Discretionary dropped 3.1%, reflecting renewed caution. Materials and utilities also surrendered 2% each as Treasury volatili

The stock market continues moving in euphoric mode, and the question now is: what is coming next? Today, 7,460 was reached by the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , very close to a level I anticipated since November 2025. We are going to study what to expect from the market moving forward, considering the current overbought conditions and the recent price action. Regarding our high-probability trades posted last Saturday, a bullish move was anticipated for $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , targeting 445 for a 3.5% move 🎯. That target was reached and surpassed today. Now, monitoring price action using daily levels is worth considering, as the stock is showing some overextended conditions. Another bullish setup anticipated was

Can Technology Alone Sustain the Rally as Market Breadth Deteriorates? On March 28th, this publication anticipated how oversold the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ was, based on three essential technical indicators. Premium subscribers were able to see the confluence of these metrics and the high likelihood of a bounce, a move that was confirmed once the Central Weekly Level (CWL) of 6,458 was recovered. This occurred on Tuesday, March 31st, as the S&P 500 rallied 2.9%. Additionally, I introduced my Founding Members' daily levels for all subscribers. These provided an early bullish signal as long as the price remained above 6,362, offering an extra layer of validation, earlier entry for longs, and enhanced risk management. Because a gap was left open that

The U.S. stock market had a milestone week ending May 8, 2026, characterized by record highs and strong economic data that countered ongoing geopolitical tensions. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ both hit fresh all-time highs as the “V-shaped recovery” and the “Three Weekly Soldiers” setups continue being validated. This is the sixth consecutive weekly gain for the SPX and the NDX. Technology and semiconductors continued to lead the charge, fueled by persistent demand for AI infrastructure. Conversely, the energy sector lagged mid-week but saw late recovery as oil prices fluctuated. April Jobs Report: The U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April, nearly double the 65,000 expected. The unemplo

Before we dive into the 50-year historical study, let’s look at how our high-probability setups from last Saturday’s Weekly Compass are performing. Of the nine setups identified, seven remain active in the expected direction: $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ : +3.1% (Bullish as expected) $iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ / Bitcoin: +3.9% / +4.2% (Bullish as expected since a month ago!) Silver ( $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ ): +2.7% (Bullish as expected) $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ : +2.5% (Bullish as expected) $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ : +2.0% (Bullish as expected) $Berkshire

Back on March 28, I highlighted in this publication how likely was the market to bounce, the call was unpopular, but my role is to assess the price action with neutrality, when the market is exhausted I call it for both directions, and that was the case back then. I highlight technical conditions, not news, not noise, price action generally precedes them, and this time was no different like in the tariff war in 2025, the further inflation fears in 2022. My statements included: “Oversold conditions have been seriously reached”, “If the market does not set a relief bounce next week, it would be against the trend of the last 25 years including the dot com and the great financial crisis” My analysis is clear and specific: I use indicators to identify potential reversals, and I use modeled pric

The week ending April 24 delivered a technically rich but internally divided market. $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ and $S&P 500(.SPX)$ consolidated as anticipated in the previous Weekly Compass, with the SPX filling its gap at $7,051.2 as likely considered. Tech $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ surged +2.4% for the week, and the semiconductor sector printed a +9.1% breakout reaching unprecedented overbought conditions that we will study today. The Three Green Soldiers pattern on the SPX and NDX weekly chart mentioned last week is in bullish play, and Bitcoin continues moving north since it was anticipated three weeks ago. The cryptocurrency has gained +13.7% since, and Ethereum +9.9%. B
