This Market Is WILD! 

Hei,

I'm getting tired of reporting to all your degens the market hit another new all-time high, but here we are. Just smile & wave, boys!

The major news of last weeks was Fed Chair Powell's congressional testimony. He didn't say this too directly, but he strongly indicated we are getting close to rate cuts. The market loved the idea of loose monetary policy, which is we continued our tip higher. We also got an update on the national unemployment. The data reading came in higher than expected. I know this seems like a negative, but don't forget that the Fed is looking for the unemployment rate to increase. In a paradoxical way, more people being unemployment was bullish for the stock market.

Looking ahead, we have a handful of earnings you might be interested in this upcoming week. They are detailed below, but I think there is more exciting things to consider. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all have highly impactful reports. We will be getting both more inflation readings and the results of key bond auctions. Historically, these have had a considerable influence on the intraday price action. Stay frosty!

Ha det,

Thicc Kohrs

Options Strategy Update

The 0 DTE signal hit 8 for 10 times (16 for 22 total units) this past week.

Signal Accuracy: ~80%

Piper took a stumble the conclude the week. Overall, she is crushing the entire year, but I do find Friday to be problematic. I don't mind that she lost. I mind that she lost on a 5/5 (bullish) confidence day. From a statistics standpoint, Friday was extremely abnormal for a variety of reasons. There is a chance this was a bad beat, but I want to do some research to see if it's avoidable in the future. I'll let you know what I find!

Top 5 Charts of Interest

Bitcoin

BTC hit a new all-time high! Congrats to all of you who had the balls to hold! Personally, I think the price goes even higher. I'm a big fan of the "high flag" consolidation. I'll be looking for an open range breakout in the near future.

 

Nvidia

NVDA has been ripping higher and higher for countless days, weeks, and months. Most recently, there was a bearish engulfing candle. This is commonly a sign of buyer exhaustion. I don't think it's smart to bet against such a monster, but I do believe it will need some consolidation before another upside move.

 

Tesla

TSLA is a pivotal price point. If it bounces, I'll be looking for the upside gap fil to $187ish. If this support cannot hold, I'd be expecting the selloff to continue to $165.

 

Meta

META is continuing to dominate -- Nothing but higher highs and higher lows. I'm expecting a brief period of consolidation. After that, I'll be watching closely to try to ride the next leg to the upside.

 

Apple

APPL is getting crushed. I strongly believe there is potential for the price action to lead downward to the $165 support. The bounce or breakdown at the point could have implications on the entire market. Watch this one closely!

 

Bonus Chart: Gold

Similar to digital gold, actual gold is exploding to the heavens. I don't like chasing, so I personally wouldn't be a buyer here. However, if you got your rocket ticket at the end of February when I first started talking about the potential, huge congrats to you!

January Sets Another Record || Goonie Newsletter
Goonie Newsletter (January 19th - January 23rd)

January Sets Another Record

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.38%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.92% 
  • Russel 2000: +2.32%
  • Bitcoin: +5.51%

Last week, markets mostly went sideways. Indexes tested highs early and then cooling off into the end of the week. It felt like a classic pause. Small caps held up better than expected, big tech picked its spots, and rates stayed in focus as the 10-year hovered in the low-to-mid 4s. Earnings season got rolling, but overall price action said traders were still waiting for a clearer macro signal before committing.

The economic data was the main driver. December CPI showed inflation continuing to cool without collapsing, which was enough to keep the soft-landing narrative alive. Headline prices rose 0.3% month over month and 2.7% year over year, while core CPI came in at 0.2% and 2.6%. Retail sales for November surprised to the upside, pointing to a consumer that is still spending, and industrial production for December jumped 0.4%, reinforcing the idea that growth is slowing but not stalling.

Looking ahead to next week, the reporting is lighter but still important. The focus shifts to housing and economic momentum, starting with pending home sales on Wednesday, jobless claims on Thursday, and the S&P Global flash PMIs on Friday. Don't forget that markets are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. With a shortened week and sentiment-sensitive data, expect quick reactions, thin liquidity, and the usual tendency for traders to change their minds at least once. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
