Daily Market Outlook: Pre-Market Analysis: Bullish 🟢

As of 6:52 AM Eastern Time, the overall short-term market outlook on SPY is bullish.

Price action has reclaimed key technical ground by jumping over both the Trendicator and the T-Line (8 EMA), and it is currently holding right on top of the 50 SMA.

That said, the market isn’t completely out of the woods yet. We don’t have a fully established Road to Wealth trend just yet, but the setup is getting closer every day.

  • RSP (Equal Weight S&P 500): Looking strong. RSP is showing a classic bullish pullback to the T-Line, with the T-Line remaining stacked safely above the Trendicator.

Macro & Geopolitical Factors

The geopolitical scene involving Iran remained relatively quiet overnight, but it remains an ongoing wild card for equities.

  • Inflation Risk: Higher energy costs directly pressure inflation metrics, which in turn puts stress on the broad market.
  • Crude Check: Brent Crude is currently trading around $87.78, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is sitting near $84.40.
  • The $120 Scenario: There is talk across the street about the potential for $120/barrel oil. If that plays out, it would put excessive strain on market valuations, giving the bears a solid foothold to drive prices lower.

Internal Indicators & Breadth

  • T2108 (% of stocks above 40 SMA): Sitting at 48.56—slightly favoring the bulls.
  • T2123 (4-Week New High/New Low Ratio): Currently showing a slight bearish lean with red dots. However, a strong positive follow-through in today’s session should trigger a shift back to green dots.

Bottom Line & Game Plan

I am currently managing 9 active positions. As always, my primary focus is taking partial profits into strength—just like yesterday, when we locked in gains on SNOW as it cleared 2.5 goals.

The Golden Rule: Keep your losses small. Over my 36 years of trading, the most critical lesson I’ve learned is that uncontrolled losses kill accounts. Making money in the market is relatively easy; managing and minimizing losses is the real hard work.

Trade within the trend, stay disciplined, and let the strategy do the heavy lifting.
