$AMZN is holding steady after the gap frenzy last week. A rally back to the 200-day moving average would make sense for the bulls and the bears, but that feels more like a "trade" to me. The real question is what happens after the 200-day is reached?
February 10, 2026 at 6:05 PM
Can't help but notice $COIN is bouncing off major league support around $145, lining up well with the Sep '24 and Mar '25 lows. Previous lows have been confirmed with a bullish crossover from weekly PPO. But dang that looks tempting.....

#Bitcoin is a tough chart right about now. Potential V-bottom, but the momentum remains incredibly weak. Has lost over 50% of its value since Oct 2025 peak, but the chart remains in a primary downtrend of lower highs and lower lows.

I'm inclined to patiently wait for signs of accumulation. You?

Markets moved higher Monday, but the real story was rotation. Tech rebounded, gold and silver surged, and airlines quietly broke out.

On today’s CHART THIS, I break down #$SPX near 7000, #$NVDA at resistance, and why select airlines are improving.

Friday’s rally forces an important question: dead cat bounce or real recovery?

Tech surged, breadth flipped positive, volatility dropped, and Bitcoin reversed sharply. The real signal will come from follow-through next week.

A wild V-shaped session today near 7,000. Early weakness tied to AI and #$MSFT earnings gave way to aggressive buying, but market breadth and volatility are flashing mixed signals.
