In this week’s episode
This week’s Stock Market Weekly breaks down the first meaningful cracks in the AI-led rally, as semiconductors, the Nasdaq 100, and market breadth begin to weaken. Rising rates, higher oil, and inflation pressure are now pushing harder against the market’s momentum engine.
The episode walks through key levels in SPY, QQQ, SMH, Bitcoin, and gold while framing the current tape as a trader’s market. Evan also reviews portfolio updates, Quant Rockets signals, and one fresh setup in FN.
