Core Trading Philosophy & Principles

Market Analysis, Stocks, & ETFs Covered

1. Major Stock Indices & ETFs

• QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust) [02:02]: Discussion on a short trade idea that hit its first price target (T1). The host notes that a breakout beyond yesterday’s high could spark new all-time highs, but highlights a strong divergence pattern developing on the daily chart.

• SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) [08:21]: Analyzed alongside QQQ. The host explains that SPY recently experienced a hard rejection at a gap resistance level, which keeps short positions historically attractive for now.

2. Commodities & Bonds

• CL (Crude Oil Futures) [19:39]: Summary of a highly successful short trade that hit its final price support target near $75.59. The host discusses macro geopolitical factors influencing oil and charts historical data showing how stock markets often experience major double-digit drops once cheap oil spikes past the $78 level from below.

• TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF) [30:03]: Analyzed as an indirect hedge against the broader stock market. The host points out a bearish divergence pattern forming as it tests an established overhead resistance level, signaling that bond yields may prepare to head higher.
