What You Need to Know Before You Chase This Rally
Markets popped this week, especially if you’re holding tech. Nvidia and Palantir had standout sessions, and Coinbase just got a major boost with news that it’s joining the S&P 500. But here’s the thing: even though the data has improved, the S&P 500 is now trading above its fair value. If you’re chasing green candles, this might be the time to slow down and take a closer look.
Your Weekly Income Report
We closed five profitable trades last week, but a loss on a pre-earnings straddle on Amazon (AMZN) left us net negative. In this Weekly Income Report, we take a closer look at this strategy and why it failed to work for us this time around.
On a brighter note, we closed the final trade from our latest Millionaire’s Trading Club event, bringing our final tally to $1,023 from four trades in just two weeks.
Your Weekly Income Report
The Weekly Income Report is coming to you a bit late this week, but we closed eight winning trades across all services last week, generating $1,685 in cash. Notably, there was a shift toward neutral-to-bullish leaning trades, reflecting the return of risk-on sentiment in the market.
As we look to the week ahead, we expect the pace of trading to pick up due to our upcoming Millionaire’s Trading Club three-day virtual event. We’re targeting three to four trades a day, and if previous events are any indication (and with a little help from Mr. Market), we hope to hit our income goal in short order.
This Rally’s Running Out of Road — Here’s What Could Break the Market Next
Stocks have clawed their way back since April’s brutal sell-off, but don’t get too comfortable. The S&P 500 is grinding into key resistance, earnings momentum is fading, and the policy backdrop is turning hostile again. If you’re hoping the worst is over, you might want to look twice—because without a sudden shift from the Fed or the White House, the next stop could be new lows. Here’s what might change everything!
Markets Surge, But Is It for Real? Why Investors Need to Stay Sharp After Friday’s Blowout Rally
Before we get started, Emily will be back later this week with her normal income article, but I’m filling in for her today with a market update and some areas of the market you should be watching.
The market just posted its most impressive week of 2025—and yet, consumer sentiment is cratering, tariffs are still hanging in the air, and now U.S. ports are literally emptying out. So, is this rally built to last or just another head fake before a bigger fall? Let’s walk through what changed, what didn’t, and how to position now—whether you’re filthy rich, dirt poor, or somewhere in between.
S&P 500 Ignites as Bulls Break Free — But Is It Just a Pre-Holiday Head Fake?
It’s been a week of melt-up energy on Wall Street. The S&P 500 just snapped out of its recent funk, slicing through long-term trend resistance like it wasn’t even there. Big thanks to Microsoft and Meta, whose earnings gave bulls a reason to push higher. And now? All eyes are on whether this breakout has real staying power—or if we’re just chasing holiday fumes into Memorial Day.
Before we break it down, here’s why this matters: If this move is more than just earnings-season enthusiasm, it could mark a shift in tone for the entire market heading into summer. So let’s unpack the setup.
Market on Edge Ahead of Big Earnings & Data Dump — Traders Brace for GDP, Jobs, and Big Tech Showdowns
Wall Street is walking a tightrope this week. With major earnings on deck from Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple — plus a wave of key economic data — the market is bracing for volatility. Add in softening consumer confidence, trade shifts, and early signs of seasonal selling, and the next few sessions could set the tone for the rest of Q2.
But what’s really driving this market under the surface — and how early selling tied to a familiar Wall Street adage might already be reshaping the seasonal playbook — could catch even the pros off guard.
Your Weekly Income Report
Despite a cautious approach, last week yielded 10 winning trades and nearly $3,800 in cash in the live account.
While bearish strategies and gold-related trades have generated significant profits year to date, we’ve broadened our focus to identify opportunities in potentially tariff-resistant sectors.
The Market’s Rebounding — But This Quiet Setup Could Be the Real Story
Stocks are roaring back, and optimism is seeping into corners of the market that looked dead just a week ago. Tech’s on fire, rate-cut chatter is getting louder, and risk appetite is coming back fast. But behind all the noise, there’s a quieter setup forming — one that’s historically reliable, often overlooked, and loaded with upside potential. It’s not a stock. It’s not a sector. But it could be the trade of the quarter if momentum holds.
Markets Just Snapped Back—Thanks to a Trump Comment. Here’s What That Means for You.
The market surged today, not because of a strong GDP report or a surprise rate cut. It rallied because Donald Trump dialed back his tone on the Fed, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped a few optimistic words about trade with China. Just like that, the Dow popped over 1,000 points, and futures are green going into tomorrow.
This is what a headline-driven market looks like—and if you’re not adjusting your strategy, you’re probably chasing your tail.
