Brian Shannon was recently featured for his latest weekly analysis covering the stock market, Bitcoin, gold, and other closely watched areas of the market.
The coverage highlighted Brian’s weekend market review for the week ending September 11, 2026. His analysis included major market ETFs such as SPY, QQQ, IWM, and SMH, along with Bitcoin, GLD, TLT, XLE, MAGS, and individual stocks including MU and SNDK.
Looking across such a broad group of assets allows traders to evaluate more than the direction of the major indexes. Comparing stocks, sectors, bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrency can help reveal where strength and weakness are developing and how leadership is shifting beneath the surface of the broader market.
This type of cross-market analysis is a regular part of Brian’s approach. Rather than evaluating an individual chart in isolation, he considers the broader market environment and then uses price action, multiple timeframes, moving averages, and Anchored VWAP to put individual opportunities into context.
The Traders Union coverage also referenced Brian’s recent commentary on market psychology and his analysis of gold as it interacted with an Anchored VWAP from its year-to-date low. Both reflect the same underlying principle: observe the evidence provided by price and adjust as market conditions change.
For traders, these weekly reviews provide an opportunity to step away from the noise of individual trading sessions and assess the bigger technical picture before the next week begins.
Inside the Alphatrends Premium Membership, Brian builds on this analysis throughout the trading week with daily market videos, stock trade ideas, Anchored VWAP analysis, and multiple timeframe technical analysis focused on helping traders better understand market structure and manage risk.
