Primed For a Rally?📈
Chart Of The Day: BTC/USD🔥

RUSSELL 2000 Daily:

Today I went long on the small cap index, US2000.

We retested a key level of support I've been watching, after the impressive move higher we've seen in the last month.

I've got a stop below today's intraday low.

I remain bullish on indices, and optimistic that while Trump's negotiation tactics are unorthodox, I do think most countries will find a middle ground on trade.

I also see the US economy as robust compared to expectations.

Additionally, we are seeing a high reading in the Put-Call ratio, suggesting the risk:reward to the upside could be strong on the long side as most traders are bearish. If I'm wrong, I'll take a small loss.

I am up about 10% for the year so far. The Nasdaq is down about 3% YTD.

While this has been a challenging year so far, I wanted to reflect as we near the halfway point (hard to believe).

Here are a few things that have helped me to tread water this year:

Only taking my best setups: I have remained systematic this year, double and triple checking every trade that I take. While this does not rule out the possibility for losses or losing streaks, I feel confident in each position I take, win or loss.

Small sizing: I have focused heavily on risk management and drawdown management. While this led to some underperformance last year when compared the market, it has paid dividends (literally and figuratively) in a volatile market selloff year like 2025.

Focusing on the economic data, NOT the 24 hour news cycle. Whether you support or dislike Trump, he re-introduces significant uncertainty into the market with his big agendas. I have done my best to AVOID the news media constantly promoting fear and negativity. This allowed me not to be overly skeptical, and take advantage of the discounted prices we saw in stocks in April.

Following trends: gold is a clear winner this year, and the standout trade I had on it in April is a major contributor to the outperformance I have had this year.

In summary: Don't panic. Stick to your system. Don't obsess over political drama to the point that it impacts your trading decisions. Enjoy the ride. - Nick

S&P500 Daily Chart: Fresh highs pending?

Price action seems to have found support around the 5800 level, advancing this morning to session highs as of writing.

While we are still waiting for trade deals from many nations with the US, we have something very positive: apparent willingness from the Trump administration to negotiate.

A familiar pattern has shown up: Trump makes a strong accusation / stance, then walks it back.

While his negotiation strategy may be controversial, learning this repeated approach has actually helped generate some great buying opportunities from a trading perspective.

I remain long the Russell 2000 index, from the chart shared a few days back.

NVIDIA (NVDA) Daily Chart:

Warning! Earnings dropping in the next few hours. This chart is likely to move pretty significantly.

I personally own the stock, and like to see the momentum pushing higher ahead of the report.

With several of their major customers (Microsoft, Tesla, etc) reiterating their intentions to spend big on AI, I like this company for the long term.

- Nick

GBPUSD Daily:

Price cooling off from its recent surge higher. Headed towards a key level of support that I will be watching in tomorrow's session.

Fundamentals look strong for the british pound at this time, relative to recent economic forecasts.

Gold Daily Chart

Price still stuck in a bit of a range, but bouncing back sharply in the overnight session.

Continued uncertainty in Washington DC may continue to keep buyers interested, but sellers may be willing to take advantage of premium prices if we see a spike higher - due to relatively strong economic resiliency out of many major nations recently.

I remain neutral, but watching price action to see if buyers can get something going.

Bias: I think price will range sideways for longer.

GDP Growth QoQ (USA): Came in at -0.2%, better than the expected -0.3% contraction

However: unemployment claims this week ticked higher, worse than expected.

Dollar Daily:

Keep your eye on this range... Waiting for some decision to help guide directional bias.

Economic data remains mixed, price action too.

Could NFP next week change this? - Nick
