Hey friend,
The weekly jobless claims numbers just came in – and they were actually much lower than expected.
Still, indexes opened sharply lower, likely due to ongoing uncertainty about tariffs.
Let’s see how the index directions have been holding up.
The Daily Direction

Note: All indexes closed higher yesterday, briefly sending the Nasdaq’s long-term direction back upward. But after this morning, it’s now back in the red.
The Daily Nugget
The market loves to shake you out before the real move.
After a sharp selloff, traders always ask the same question: Is this the bottom?
The truth? Markets rarely make it easy.
Big drops trigger fear. Weak hands get shaken out. And just when most traders throw in the towel, the market quietly starts turning.
Not with big, obvious moves – but with subtle shifts that only the sharpest eyes catch.
Right now, there are signs that a short-term bottom could soon be in.
But the real question isn’t whether the market bounces – it’s which stocks are poised to lead the way.
Because there are always leading stocks regardless of market conditions…
And being able to target them is how you create a durable “all weather” strategy for any market.
