Welcome To February!
Hey Y'all,
New month, new all-time market high! Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 hit a new record to conclude the week and kickstart February. I hope you haven't been fighting the trend because it has been paying massively to go with the flow.
We have lots to chitchat about. There has been tons of market developments and data releases over the past week. Consumer confidence came in higher than expected. Unemployment came in lower than expected. And most importantly, the Fed interest rate decision was to do. With respect to the upcoming week, the results of the Treasury Auctions will have a noteworthy impact. Make sure to pay close attention to Bonds, the Dollar, and Gold.
Not only did the overall market like the macroeconomic reports, but it also enjoyed the vibe of the earnings announcements. Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta all had bullish reports. The only company that particularly dropped the ball was Apple. The party doesn't stop there though. The upcoming week contains a handful of pivotal earnings reports.
Below you will find the upcoming macroeconomic reports, earnings announcements, and the daily seasonality.
Later,
Matt

A strong close to January and an even stronger start to February! The streak of perfection continues for a third full week!
Piper has already been printing money as if she were Powell, but with the extra insights from Roo, she is on another level. Eventually Roo will be spun off as her own distinct system. Until additional testing is completed (more out-of-sample testing is need), the analysis generated by Roo will be utilized to improve Piper. As shown below, the results clearly speak for themself.
Current Streak: 38
January Record: 72/74

Top 3 Charts of Interest
Bitcoin
Hold on to your butts! BTC's chart is looking like a hot tamale. Obviously, nothing is ever guaranteed, but I'm really liking the short-term risk to reward on ole digital gold. A solid break and hold of $43.5k could easily trigger a push to $48k. For now, I'll be patiently waiting for an entry trigger.
Coinbase
Similar to Bitcoin, COIN appears to be reverting from a bearish phase to a bullish phase. A break and hold of $136 would setup my next target of $180. As always, I would only take the trade if the risk were within reason. I would imagine this trade and the BTC callout will be highly correlated.
Netflix
I know NFLX's price is already sky-high, but I believe it has more room to run. This isn't some big brain analysis -- It's a well-known phenomenon known as "earnings drift". Stocks tend to keep trending in the same direction as the initial reaction to the company's earnings report. I'll be looking for the consolidation to break above $572ish as entry signal.
