Welcome back to Trading The Close! Today is the day everyone has circled on their calendars. As we wait for the NVIDIA ($NVDA) numbers to hit the tape after the bell, the S&P 500 ($SPX) and Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) are making a bold run at the upper end of their recent bearish consolidation zones.
⚠️ The Failed Bear Flag? We are currently watching a pivotal technical setup. If the indices can close above their current ranges, we are looking at a failed bear flag. Historically, when a bear flag fails to resolve to the downside and instead breaks the upper resistance, it leads to a powerful "squeeze" higher. Tomorrow's price action will be the ultimate confirmation.
🎓 Technical Education: Break & Retrace. A major focus of today's show is helping you understand how price levels are actually broken. We often see a "clean" break, but the real money is made on the retrace. I’ll show you exactly what to look for when a stock tests an old resistance level to turn it into new support.
🥈 Silver Shines while Gold Sleeps. While Gold took a breather today, Silver made a massive statement. It has officially broken above its parallel channel and is currently testing the upper range of its bearish consolidation. If Silver holds this break, it could be the leading indicator for a broader commodity push.
📈 Individual Movers: CAVA, AXON, & LOW. CAVA ($CAVA): After reporting stellar earnings Tuesday night, we analyze the "post-earnings drift" and where the next level of overhead resistance sits. Axon Enterprise ($AXON): Fresh off earnings, this chart is showing incredible relative strength. Lowe's ($LOW): We break down the technical reaction to their earnings and what it says about the 2026 housing/consumer market. Bitcoin ($BTC): Bullish sentiment is back! Bitcoin is maintaining its push alongside "risk-on" tech. We map out the next targets.
