Brian Shannon’s latest market analysis was recently featured in coverage of stock and cryptocurrency trends for the week ending August 7, 2026.
The article highlighted Brian’s review of major market ETFs including SPY, QQQ, SMH, IWM, and XBI, along with several closely watched semiconductor stocks such as MU, AMD, INTC, and NVDA. His analysis also extended beyond equities to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
Looking across these different areas of the market gives traders a broader view of where strength and weakness are developing. Rather than evaluating an individual stock or cryptocurrency in isolation, Brian regularly compares major indexes, sectors, individual names, and other asset classes to understand the larger market environment.
The coverage also referenced Brian’s recent analysis of the 5-day moving average and the VWAP anchored from the “Leo Liquidation Low,” which he identified as important support areas for major equity futures and ETFs.
For traders who follow Brian’s work, this type of weekly review brings together many of the concepts that are central to his approach: price structure, relative strength, multiple timeframe analysis, Anchored VWAP, and disciplined risk management.
Inside the Alphatrends Premium Membership, Brian takes this analysis further throughout the trading week with daily market videos, educational stock ideas, and ongoing analysis of the technical levels and market developments he is watching.
