The major indexes rose higher to start the week as traders look to build on Friday’s gains — and more in Monday’s stock market recap.

Today is the first real trading day of the year as far as the market is concerned. Activity was subdued and random for the past few holiday-shortened weeks as many traders took off.

I expect we’ll see activity and volatility start to ramp up, especially with this week’s loaded agenda….

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks on Tuesday, with other Fed officials speaking throughout the week.

We’ll also get the latest Consumer Price Index inflation data and jobless claims on Thursday, followed by import and export prices, and consumer sentiment info on Friday.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss why we need to focus on resistance levels on the Nasdaq right now… whether stocks overreacted to Friday’s jobs report… why I believe tech is going to trade lower in the coming days… whether energy stocks are rising again or ready to revert lower… an update on China and how it’s going to impact stocks in the next few months… plus the biggest report this week and what to expect from the Fed!

P.S. The Key Time to Trade During Earnings

Everyone who’s traded for any amount of time knows that earnings reports are a BIG deal.

But did you know that after a certain earnings report, there is a unique 72-hour window that real professionals know is the key time to trade during earnings season?

This three-day period is when stocks could move the most — regardless of the overall market!

Tom Busby and I believe we’ve cracked the code to tap into this unique earnings drift phenomenon…

And we’re holding a special live presentation to share all the details on this breakthrough earnings strategy, right at the start of earnings season.

The major indexes rose on lighter-than-expected wage gains — and more in Friday’s stock market recap.

Employment also came in just above expectations according to Friday’s December jobs report. These two pieces of data show the Federal Reserve might be making some progress as it raises interest rates to tamp down inflation.

Meanwhile, the stock market is still in a lull, preparing for investors to return in full force next week.

We had two holiday-shortened trading weeks in a row, and a lot of traders took off.

The algorithms Wall Street uses rely on demand from retail investors, and they can’t generate big volume on their own.

Next week, I expect the algos to start moving, which should drive some of the major indexes through key price levels.

In this morning’s stock market recap, I’ll discuss whether energy is pausing its move or crapping out… whether bonds are ready to sink or swim… critical levels for the major indexes… how algo traders are shaping the current market cycle… how Friday’s Fed report will impact the market and why… plus a deep dive into momentum ETF levels and what to expect next!

P.S. Don’t Get Tricked By This…

A lot of people think this was the “first” trading week of the year…

But that’s not the case because most big players won’t return until next week — the first full, five-session week of the year.

Wall Street institutions, hedge funds, pension funds…

We’ve been stuck in a sideways chop-fest for nearly three weeks now… But if next week’s inflation report is solid, things could get wild — hopefully in a good way!

That’s why I’m hosting an urgent webinar at 1:30 p.m. ET today, Jan. 6, to prepare you for what could be a crazy first real trading week of the year.

Plus, I’ll give you an inside scoop on some of the small cap picks I like best.

The major indexes slid lower on strong jobs data — and more in Thursday’s stock market recap.

The ADP private payrolls report came in well above estimates, with employers adding 235,000 jobs in December. Wages also rose more than expected.

Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims came in below expectations. Continuing claims also decreased.

With all signs pointing to the job market remaining strong, investors fear the Federal Reserve will continue hiking rates even longer.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss the key levels for upside and downside for the major indices… when the current consolidation will end and a new trend will begin… an update on momentum including which sector is most vulnerable… an update on today’s Fed data and what the bond market is pricing in… plus my top ETF and option pick!

I may have just “cracked the code” to a bear market with this one pattern!

How and when you start your trading day can be critical to your success.

That’s why I created my own morning routine. I’ve been following it for a while now, and it serves as the foundation for my morning stock market recap videos.

What I love most about my routine is that it helps me see the “big picture” before I even start trading.

And I went over this routine, in detail, in the video I want to share with you today.

In the video, I cover:

• Overnight futures, including which ones I review and what I look for.
• The daily calendar of events, how this news could impact the markets, what to expect and how to prepare for it.
• Market internals, sector analysis and technicals, including which technicals I use for comparisons.
• And much, much more!

The major indexes are down on the last trading day of 2022 — and more in Friday’s stock market recap.

As I mentioned in Thursday’s stock market recap, all three are set to lock in their worst year since 2008 and a three-year win streak.

As we move into 2023, many investors are bracing for a recession, rotating into cash and defensive sectors like Consumer Staples and Health Care, which continue to be the market’s strongest sectors.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll reveal how algos are changing market dynamics… why we can’t trust the major indexes right now… which sectors should continue to lead into 2023… what to expect from the long bond over the next few weeks… if momentum levels are shifting or still bearish… plus which index has the most downside potential and why.

The major indexes moved higher as we enter the final days of 2022 — and more in Thursday’s stock market recap.

The major averages are set to lock in their worst year since 2008.

Over the past 12 months, the Dow lost 9.5%, with the S&P 500 down 20.6%. The Nasdaq was the worst performer, dropping 34.7% as investors dumped tech stocks.

Many investors are worried we’ll face a recession in the new year, and continue rotating into more defensive sectors.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss whether the Nasdaq will continue to fall… preview what’s next for the bond market… give a full update on China’s nasty COVID-19 outbreak and its impact…show you where the smart money is positioning themselves right now… and reveal my top ETF and option trade!

The major indexes are up as investors look toward 2023 — and more in Wednesday’s stock market recap.

As I mentioned in Tuesday’s stock market recap, when we have shortened trading weeks, a lot of traders step away from their desks, especially between Christmas and New Year’s. That means volume and liquidity are low, which can lead to heightened volatility.

The market and investors alike are digesting the most recent manufacturing and housing data Wednesday morning, looking for signs that the economy is cooling. If it is, it could signal that it’s time for the Federal Reserve to further slow its pace of interest rate hikes.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss whether it’s time to shift money into energy stocks again… whether it’s a good time to go long tech stocks… how to navigate the bond market… which sectors are rising and which are falling… how to gauge the current market cycle and what to expect next… an update on the global economy and how China is coming out of its COVID-19 crisis… what’s going on with Tesla stock and why it’s on the move… plus my top stock to buy right now and two stocks to dump ASAP!

The major indexes are flat heading into the last week of 2022 — and more in Tuesday’s stock market recap.

With markets closed Monday for Christmas, we have another fragmented week on Wall Street. Many traders stepped away from their desks for the holidays and won’t be back until after the new year — the market is also closed on Monday, Jan. 2 — which leaves us open to subdued trading activity and higher volatility for the rest of the week.

The markets will have a lot of data to digest before the new year, with reports on international trade in goods and services, retail and wholesale inventories, and the Case-Shiller and FHFA housing price indexes all coming out on Tuesday morning.

The rest of the week brings pending home sales, jobless claims, the EIA natural gas and petroleum reports, and the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss the most likely scenario for stocks in the next few sessions… how to navigate the market right now… which sectors you want to keep a close eye on, and which to avoid going into 2023… whether volatility is set to increase or decrease… what the bond market is telling us about stocks this week… plus how the global economy is playing into the end of the year market cycle!

P.S. My No. 1 Stock Pick for 2023

That’s why I’m holding a one-time, special year-end event at 1 p.m. today, Dec. 27, and you’re invited!

It’s called Turning Point 2023.
