Situational Awareness

Market Condition: Weak choppy markets. Below Key Moving Averages.

Commentary: We’re approaching a red open. Whether it is notable or not this morning is probably the quietest morning of catalysts I’ve seen in 2026. Probably to be expected considering it’s a huge earnings week.

I’m in no rush to add risk here at all. Sitting on my hands today and managing positions. Hoping for a Red to Green move on the indices. Treading water for now until we see which way the tide is going.

Have a great week everyone!

Reduced Activity

Current market conditions don't present quality setups that meet my criteria. Rather than force picks, I'm staying disciplined and monitoring for better opportunities.

Quality setups only. Better to sit tight.
