The Fed cut interest rates by .25% as expected.  Gold dropped for a 2nd week.  No Jobs report next week as the government shutdown continues.   Mega Caps Daily chart  -Uptrend -Downtrend Crypto AAPL NVDA TSM GOOGL TSLA AVGO  AMZN?

  We saw lots of ‘chop’ last week, ending just below where we started, with tariff uncertainty still hanging over the market. The DOW lagged as it dumped on Thursday after UNH reported earnings. Long term rates pulled back a bit while Gold continued to rocket higher, closing near $3326. This week we get more earnings including GOOGL & TSLA,  04/06:  Hedging against losses… How? If you got ahead of the tariff announcement on Monday Mar 31st using an Inverse ETF like SQQQ (SPXS, SOXS, etc) , it was up approximately 30% that week! Note that Leveraged ETFs should only be used for short term trading. This week:   Schwab Weekly Trader's Outlook Edward Jones recap More earnings  This week: 3red week of earnings reports.  The market is still very volatile so caution is advised. The 10 year Interest rate -dropped a bit, now at 4.33% The Dollar - dropped a bit to 99.23 Gold - another big rally to $3326 Oil -rallied to $63.68 Bitcoin/Crypto   -rallied a ...
