Top Pick of The Week: The Future Is Already Driving Around Miami
🤝 NOTE: This week’s top pick of the week is the last free one for everyone. This is a free release so you can see exactly what you get in Nurse in The Market before you decide to become a paid subscriber. 😃
A quick highlight from last week →
DoorDash Inc. DASH 0.00%↑ broke out of the box and popped over 12% last week! This is a beautiful breakout move! I'm watching for price to hit my first target of $190 or tag an extreme-high RSI reading for a profit taking opportunity. On any price weakness or RSI pullback, I would look to add shares.
Let’s dig into last week’s market recap and the playbook for the week ahead →
The markets were fun last week!
The Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates steady at 3.50% to 3.75%. The U.S. and Iran announced a peace deal fully reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz waterway
Bonds (TLT) continued to climb higher and break through its 200-day SMA.
The Dow Jones (DIA) also climbed higher and reached a new record high! Both the Nasdaq (QQQ) and the S&P 500 (SPY) broke out and are back in play here.
Bitcoin (BTC) is in an accumulation zone with a possible breakout underway. Price already attempted its first breakout, but failed, which is typically bearish. Let’s see if price is able to hold the next breakout here.
Gold (GLD) is in an accumulation zone. I’m watching to see if price holds here or rolls over.
Oil (USO) continued sell-off even more and is trading at a near extreme-low RSI reading. The sharp drop in crude back into the mid-$70s heavily weighed on oil producers and exploration companies, driving the broad energy sector selloff
The massive drop in oil prices acted as a tailwind for growth and cyclical sectors like Technology (XLK) and Industrials (XLI).
Lower projected energy costs mitigated broader inflation concerns, facilitating a "risk-on" environment for equity investors
The Nasdaq (QQQ) was the top performing index of the Big 3, while the Dow Jones (DIA) was the worst.
I. The Market Vitals (Best to Worst)
Here’s how the 7 major asset classes ranked this week:
20 Year Bonds Treasury ETF TLT 0.00%↑
The Dow Jones 30 DIA 0.00%↑
The Nasdaq-100 QQQ 0.00%↑
The S&P 500 SPY 0.00%↑
Bitcoin ($BTCUSD)
Gold GLD 0.00%↑
Oil USO 0.00%↑
♥️Market Pulse: 5/7
5/7 assets are up.
QQQ, SPY, DIA, TLT, and GLD are up.
BTC and USO are down.
Risk-on environment.
II. Section Rotation (11 SPDR S&P 500 Sectors)
Technology XLK 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 Technology (XLK), Industrials (XLI), and Consumer Discretionary (XLY).
The worst three performing sectors were Energy (XLE), Financials (XLF), and Health Care (XLV).
The increase in Technology XLK 0.00%↑ was driven by massive capital inflows into semiconductors and AI beneficiaries.
Consumer Discretionary XLY 0.00%↑ was boosted by stronger-than-expected retail sales data showing resilient consumers.
Consumer Staples XLP 0.00%↑ is entered a decline right 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. This gives us some potential ideas this week.
Energy XLE 0.00%↑ plunged as a historic U.S.-Iran peace deal reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
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 XLY stocks for trade ideas here.
III. Important Sectors & ETFs
Beyond the main sectors, here’s what stood out this week:
The Russell 2000 Index IWM 0.00%↑ reached another new all-time high last week!
iShares Semiconductors ETF SOXX 0.00%↑ also reached a new all-time high and is back on the move!
Ark Innovation ETF ARKK 0.00%↑ is also on the move and broke through its 200-day SMA displaying the momentum for growth stocks is in favor here.
Gold Miners GDX 0.00%↑ and Gold Miners Junior GDXJ 0.00%↑ both went for a breakout and failed, which is typically bearish.
The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF IGV 0.00%↑ is in a decline below its 200-day SMA.
I like URTY and SOXL for leveraged trades in small-caps and semiconductors here. I also like ARKK to for growth plays setting up.
IV. What Assets & Sectors I’m Watching
Here’s what I’m focused on next week:
Oil (USO): Will price keep continuing lower here or find a bottom.
XLE and XOP are both in declines and I’m watching for price to put in a bottom.
Dow Jones (DIA): Hit a new record high last week, but didn’t tag an extreme-high RSI reading indicating price has more room to run.
The S&P 500 (SPY) & The Nasdaq (QQQ): both are setting up for breakouts. Will these breakouts hold here?
Bitcoin (BTC): Has been trading in an accumulation zone with a couple breakout attempts.
Will one of this breakouts hold here and price climb higher?
Gold (GLD): I’m watching to see if price will hold its accumulation zone here or rollover.
Price is trading below its 200-day SMA.
I like bitcoin (BTC) and BITX and the major indexes for leveraged trade ideas this week including URTY, UPRO, UDOW, and TQQQ.

2. Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)
Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN 0.00%↑ is an accumulation zone right above its 200-day SMA.

AMZN has transformed online shopping forever.
