Trading Adventures is a price-focused market analysis newsletter helping traders understand trend, structure, and key levels across the market.
Each week I break down charts across major indices, sectors, and individual names to provide clear technical context.
Show Notes:
Trend Context
SPY and QQQ holding above rising 5-day MAs → short-term trend intact
IWM and Dow lagging below declining 5-day → mixed participation
Market Character
Consolidation after a strong multi-week run
Pullbacks are shallow and short-lived
Market correcting by time, not price → constructive
Key Technical Takeaways
S&P holding 8-day MA and prior breakout area (polarity in play)
QQQ showing minor exhaustion signals, but nothing decisive
Dow forming bullish consolidation near short-term averages
IWM finding buyers at prior key levels
Intermarket Notes
Bitcoin facing resistance but not breaking down
Volatility continues to compress
Crude rising while equities pause (inverse behavior worth noting)
Gold stuck in a messy range
Big Picture
Nothing technically broken
Trend remains intact
Market is pausing, not reversing
Catalysts Ahead
FOMC rate decision (Wednesday)
Core PCE, jobless claims (Thursday)
Heavy earnings: GOOG, AMZN, MSFT, META, AAPL
Additional names across sectors reporting
Key Message
This is a risk management environment, not a prediction environment
Traders should be aware of earnings exposure and binary events
The Process Behind the Work
Price > opinion
Trend > prediction
Risk first
If you like how I think here, this is where that thinking is applied every day.
