Hey friend,
Non-farm payrolls came in slightly under expectations this morning – while the unemployment rate stayed fixed at 4.2%.
Let’s see how markets have been moving.
The Daily Direction
Note: Indexes closed higher again yesterday, and opened higher again today – sending all short and medium-term directions upward.
The Daily Nugget
It’s okay to trust the signs – even if no one else does.
Retail sentiment is still near historic lows.
The headlines are cautious.
And most retail investors still don’t believe this rally has legs.
But the market keeps grinding higher anyway.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t spotting the shift – it’s allowing yourself to trust it…
Especially when everyone else is still stuck in fear.
You don’t need to buy into the hype or pretend everything’s perfect.
But it’s okay to read the tape and trust what it’s telling you.
There’s a reason seasoned traders stay calm in these phases.
They know this is how recoveries often start: slow, uncertain, and full of disbelief.
Hang in there. Stay focused.
And have a great weekend – you’ve earned it.
