It’s Monday, April 7, and while the weather is beautiful, the market continues to be anything but. The media is finally calling it a bear market, but we’ve been in a clearly bearish environment since SPY 595—over 100 points ago. My job isn’t to predict news headlines or read expert opinions on tariffs; it’s to translate price action and help you make smart decisions with a focus on four goals: make money, avoid losing money, provide daily education, and maintain a positive environment. Volume spikes and loud market calls mean little without price confirmation. Declining five-day moving averages remain the most reliable intermediate trend indicator—below it, we stay cautious. Don’t try to guess bottoms or rely on headlines; the smartest traders follow process and discipline. This isn’t an investing service—it’s a swing trading service, and in this environment, even that is driven by short-term, tactical moves. Stick to the message of the market. Everything else is noise.
