This Saturday, June 20th, 2026 at 10am ET, I’m hosting The Stock Market Playbook for Beginners— a live 90-minute workshop designed for people who want to understand the stock market without feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, or like they need a translator.
We’ll cover how the market actually works, how to read charts with confidence, and how to build a framework you can use long after the workshop ends. If you’ve been wanting to join the stock market with structure instead of chaos and noise, this workshop was built for you.
If you can’t attend, no worries, I host this workshop every other Saturday at 10am ET.

Let’s dig into last week’s market recap and the playbook for the week ahead →
The markets were wild last week!
Stock market participant sentiment was low at the beginning of the week due to AI devaluation and inflation talks, but increased later in the week with a potential peace deal between the U.S. and Middle East.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SPCX) completed its record-breaking initial public offering (IPO), also known as a stock launch, and was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Dow Jones (DIA) tested its 20-day SMA, but closed back above it, signaling its still in play here.
Both the Nasdaq (QQQ) and the S&P 500 (SPY) put in some sideways movement and are back to trading in accumulation zones with possible breakouts underway here.
The breakout in Bonds (TLT) regained its momentum and is trading back above its 5-day EMA as it approaches is 200-day SMA.
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in an accumulation zone below its 200-day SMA.
Gold (GLD) is setting up in a potential accumulation zone here. Price printed a doji bar on Friday after tagging an extreme-low RSI reading indicating a potential bottom could be in here right below its 200-day SMA.
Oil (USO) sold off on Friday and may be breaking support. I’m watching to see if price continues falling or bounces back here.
The Nasdaq (QQQ) was the top performing index of the Big 3, while the S&P 500 (SPY) was the worst.
I. The Market Vitals (Best to Worst)
Here’s how the 7 major asset classes ranked this week:
The Nasdaq-100 QQQ 0.00%↑
The Dow Jones 30 DIA 0.00%↑
The S&P 500 SPY 0.00%↑
20 Year Bonds Treasury ETF TLT 0.00%↑
Bitcoin ($BTCUSD)
Gold GLD 0.00%↑
Oil USO 0.00%↑
♥️Market Pulse: 5/7
5/7 assets are up.
QQQ, SPY, DIA, TLT, and BTC are up.
GLD and USO are down.
II. Section Rotation (11 SPDR S&P 500 Sectors)
Materials XLB 0.00%↑ was the top performing sector of the S&P 500 SPY 0.00%↑ , while Energy XLE 0.00%↑ was the worst.
The top three performing sectors were Materials (XLB), Consumer Staples (XLP), and Technology (XLK).
The worst three performing sectors were Energy (XLE), Communication Services (XLC), and Utilities (XLU).
Materials XLB 0.00%↑ , Consumer Staples XLP 0.00%↑ , Technology XLK 0.00%↑ and Utilities XLU 0.00%↑ broke out!
Financials XLF 0.00%↑ is on the move and trading above its 200-day SMA.
Communication Services XLC 0.00%↑ and Consumer Discretionary XLY 0.00%↑ are both setting up in accumulation zones below their 200-day SMA.
All 9/11 SPDR sectors are trading above their 200-day SMA here, which is typically a bullish sign. The two sectors trading below their 200-day SMA are the XLC and XLY. I really like XLU for a trade idea here.
III. Important Sectors & ETFs
Beyond the main sectors, here’s what stood out this week:
The Russell 2000 Index IWM 0.00%↑ reached a new all-time high last week!
iShares Semiconductors ETF SOXX 0.00%↑ tested its 20-day SMA, but closed back above it signaling its still in play here.
Regional Banks KRE 0.00%↑ broke out and is on the move!
Ark Innovation ETF ARKK 0.00%↑ is setting up in an accumulation zone right below its 200-day SMA giving us a potential trade idea this week.
Gold Miners GDX 0.00%↑ and Gold Miners Junior GDXJ 0.00%↑ are setting up in accumulation zones here below their 200-day SMA.
The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF IGV 0.00%↑ entered a decline below its 200-day SMA.
I like GDXU, NUGT, and JNUG here leveraged trades in gold miners here.
IV. What Assets & Sectors I’m Watching
Here’s what I’m focused on next week:
Oil (USO): Will price continue lower, bounce back, or hold here.
XLE and XOP are both holding support. I’m watching to see if price holds or rolls over here.
Dow Jones (DIA): Price tested its 20-day SMA, but price closed back above it, which is very bullish.
The S&P 500 (SPY) & The Nasdaq (QQQ): both are setting up in accumulation zones with possible breakouts underway.
Will price continue to hold here or climb higher?
Bitcoin (BTC): Looks to have put in a bottom here and is trading in an accumulation zone!
Gold (GLD): Will price hold here? Is this the bottom after hitting an extreme-low RSI reading?
Price is trading below its 200-day SMA.
I like bitcoin (BTC), materials (XLB), utilities (XLU) gold miners (GDX), gold miners juniors (GDXJ) for trade ideas this week.

VII. Trade Breakdowns
Let’s take a closer look at each setup.
1. Celanese Corp. (CE)
Celanese Corp. CE 0.00%↑ is trading right along its 200-day SMA with a potential breakout underway here.
Price closed above its 20-day SMA on Friday signaling a breakout is likely underway. CE has been in an accumulation zone and trading 44% undervalued here.
This is a great opportunity to start a buy and hold position or enter a simple swing trade back to its previous high target of $68.
The Materials sector XLB 0.00%↑ broke out last week indicating the momentum is in favor here for materials stocks.
Profit targets:
An extreme-high RSI reading
First target zone: $62
Previous high target zone: $68
Fair value: $95
CE is one of the world's largest producers of acetic acid and its downstream derivative chemicals, which are used in various end markets, including coatings and adhesives.
The company is also one of the largest producers of specialty polymers, which are used in the automotive, electronics, medical, building, and consumer end markets.
The company also makes cellulose derivatives used in cigarette filters.
According to Morningstar, CE has a fair value of $95 and is currently trading undervalued.
CE is part of the Materials sector (XLB) of the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Commodity Chemicals sub-sector.
2. Airbnb Inc. (ABNB)
Airbnb Inc. ABNB 0.00%↑ is back in an accumulation zone and trading 21% undervalued here.
The breakout in ABNB failed. Price then tested its 200-day SMA, but managed to close above it and get back into its accumulation zone.
This gives us more time to add shares or get in the trade, if you missed last week’s entry.
This is a great opportunity to start a buy and hold position and to put on a swing here.
ABNB transformed hotels, travels, and tourism forever.
Profit targets:
An extreme-high RSI reading
Previous high target zone: $146
Fair value target: $170
ABNB is the world’s largest online alternative accommodation travel agency; it also offers booking services for boutique hotels, experiences, and hotel-like services.
ABNB’s platform offers over 9 million active accommodation listings. Listings from the company’s 5 million-plus hosts are spread over almost every country in the world.
According to Morningstar, ABNB has a fair value of $170 and is currently trading undervalued.
ABNB is part of the Consumer Discretionary (XLY) of the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Travel & Tourism sub-sector.
