Trading Week Ahead | June Boom or Gloom?

June 1, 2021 in Watch We're Watching

We’re looking at another sleepy start to the week, though more of the to-be-expected variety given the holiday. Stock indices are sharply unchanged from the modest drift lower Monday.  Crypto remains range bound, not signaling anything for risk appetites leading into one of the seasonally worst performing months for stocks. 

On tap this shortened trading week, we’ve got an OPEC meeting Tuesday, Beige Book Wednesday, FOMC on Friday, and Powell speaking at a conference Friday as well. 

Aside from the norm, I’ll be more focused in the ProTrading Room (PTR) on a few prop programs (TopStep & UProfit) in preparation for the relaunch of my Virtual Prop Trader (VPT Live) mini-course.   

And if you missed it on Telegram, Discord, or YouTube, there may be time left to grab one of the crazy good deals at Earn2Trade or UProfit, offering 40% and 50% off monthly subscriptions respectively.  Also, trade journal Tradersync has a 50% off sale running through tonight too.  Everything expires today, Monday May 31st so hurry!

What We’re Watching | December 14-18

December 14, 2020 in Watch We're Watching

This week we’ll be watching stimulus talks, the PFE vaccine distribution, Bitcoin $20K again, quad witching on Friday, prior weekly highs/lows, TSLA entering the S&P, and time running out for a Brexit deal. Is Brexit still a thing? Remember when Europe mattered? 🙂

Bitcoin futures trading will absolutely be a thing this week (Jan contract) and for all of 2021. Man are we racking up the paper profit on a beginner’s luck heater. Ha!
