Brother, Where Art Thou?!
Brother!
I'm fully aware I sound like a broken record, but I truly hope you got paid as the market once again grinded to new heights. Here are the key weekly performance stats:
- S&P 500: +0.32%
- Nasdaq 100: +0.21%
- Bitcoin: -2.85%
As always, the trend is your friend. It doesn't matter if the price seems illogical to you, your job is to make money. Traders make money by reacting to and riding the current trend. Investors make money by accurately predicting future situations. They seem similar but are wildly different. It's imperative to know which camp you're in.
With respect to last week, the market showed resilience. Price action was mainly driven by strong performance in technology and consumer sectors. There were also various favorable economic reports including declining interest rates and stable consumer spending. Please note that the final portion of June is seasonally bearish.
Overall, last week's action was a classic summer grind. Let's be honest -- It was very forgettable. This upcoming week will most likely contain more excitement. There are a myriad of reports, auctions, and speeches that should culminate to creating more tradable ranges. All the key details are highlighted below.
Godspeed,
Thicc Kohrs
