This week's trades, market movers, and technical levels that count, wrapped up with clarity and precision. This is Weekly Wrap Up with Verified Investing. >> Good afternoon, everyone, and happy Friday. My name is Jake Sweeney, pro trader here at Verified Investing, and I bet you're guessing, "Where is Mr. Garth Soloway?" He is out of the office today, and I'm going to be covering for him. If you haven't heard of me yet, I've been trading here at Verified Investing for the past uh 3 months uh come this summer, and we're just finishing up on my first quarter of trading live in the Apex Live Day Trading Room. Anyways, I'm going to break down this week's biggest movers, how the spiders and Qs responded, uh where the yields and oils are at, where yields and oil is at, and to finish and to give you guys some key levels to finish out the week strong. Thank you guys for joining me today. Let's dive into the charts right now. All right. So, first thing, guys, is going to be checking out the spiders today. So, from this down from this ascending trend line, we closed here on Friday at about 761.69 on the spiders. Come Monday, we gapped up above this trend line and capitulated all the way to the 775 print. With that, we got to this pivot top here, and we were just short rejected um at the 774 775. With that, the next day we tried to go up and pierce the 775, was then shut down. Yields starting to elevate and give above the 5% uh 5% tile on the 10-year uh numbers that we have not seen in decades. With that, we saw a harsh sell-off on the spiders. But, guess what? Just on Thursday's price action, even though we gave up a lot of that price action, we did not budge below this trend line. This is where we started on Friday and we're still much higher. Just on the week, we got a nice bounce up and then today, closing moving into market close this Friday, uh we're pushing back up now to about 770. So, on the week, a nice 1.2% gain so far intraday, as high as 1.75% as we got up to that 775 handle. So, what I'm looking for is this trend line to continue to act as support for the upside. And with that, we also have this up-sloping trend line through two, three hits. Should we come back down to If we get below this trend line that we gapped up on, we still have great support here for trending upwards for the SPYders. So, where do the bulls take us? Well, first we have to get past the 775 level that we've now been hammering on for quite some time. Really, this now puts in play next week double top of the SPYders getting to this level at 779.37. And just watching the options market, I can I continuously getting notions that big money is positioned for a move higher, um and I think we're just kind of getting planting those legs now for that next move higher. Looking at the Qs, kind of the same thing, but a much stronger play. Right here, we This is where we closed on last Friday, and just with that move on Monday, we gapped up above this horizontal trend line, and then even this down-sloping trend line that was capping price. I thought we would get tapped right here at 726. If we look from this trend line right here, that's where price would indicate it's at, or about 726.80 right here. Um the low on that day was around 727 and much higher. Just from that move, the Qs were up 3.76 at its highest percentile. Since coming in, making a higher low here and trying to push up higher as we go into market close on Friday. So, first key level as I want to see confirmation above the 74587 level and that could also give us a play to break the 750 on the Nasdaq. If we continue to come back down though, now we have this trend line that we gapped above. Should we come back to 725 to 722, this down sloping trend line will now act as support as the polarity flips. It was resistance here and now should be support to the downside. What's caused this huge So, we had such a great move on Monday and Tuesday, but what caused this move on Wednesday for such a dramatic fall? That was this credit to right here, the US 10-year. As right here on last Friday, last Friday here on the 18th, we had we were shooting up and then consolidating right under this 5% handle. When we see consolidation like this and the war continuing to escalate, we continued on higher for next leg. We hit numbers for the US 10-year that we have not seen and see if I scroll back on the daily, we cannot even see it. I have to go back here on the weekly. The last time we were elevated this much on the US 10-year at 5.212% was in 2007. So, now almost 20 years with yields being this high. So, what I had on this was this kind of wedge pattern and the wedge exploded now to the upside. Now, with that we did pierce the 5.212 level and it's since bouncing off this level that we broke out of. This could also be um a bearish read on the market if we continue to push higher, it's going to be tough for the spiders and cues to try and take on this double top level or it could most likely bring these support levels back into play. For the next major resistance I'm watching on the US 10-year, if we go to the weekly here, I'm looking at this swing low pivot here at 5.524 5.524%. Coming right here, as you can see, price responded on this level a lot and was rejected here since last in 2001. But, if we get there, that'll be the next level um the US 10-year could stall at. And this video is sponsored by um we'll have to transition to our co-host and trader Tabby for this uh this weekly wrap-up's sponsor. >> I want to take a minute to tell you about one of the companies helping make this show possible.

We're also going to be checking uh looking at US oil. So, tentatively tentatively the US and Iran are exploring a truce deal and trying to end the naval blockade. With that, we saw a flush in oil on Thursday. Um and then since it's hovering on the 93 level for US oil. Still checking out the the pump for gas prices. I'm still filling up for about 450 down here in Florida. Still too expensive for me. Um but let's check in the charts, guys, and see what um key levels I'm looking at. So, for here, and I see we're hugging around this 93 level. That apps That also lines up to be a point uh five Fibonacci retracement from the high in uh early March down to this low in early July. So, with that, we came back down and now we're coming back up just kind of hovering on this level. It's kind of more indecision on okay, is this war priced in? Are we going to continue to kind of move up and print these lower highs from this trend line right here? Or is is uh the war going to be kind of resoluted and we're going to continue to come in. Hoping for the latter. So, what I'm watching though key levels is if on this down sloping trend line here, should we come back down to about 88 90 in this area, look for this trend line that's catching higher lows since early July. And then we also have this chan- And this this is kind of a parallel channel, but as we see it's widening. It's starts narrow here and then starting to get a little more volatility, a little more movement with oil. So, I'm also looking at this up-sloping trend line that capped price here on the middle of September, September 15th right here at 106. This also is in the crosshairs. So, we have from the 1948 high, this has now two hits and with that hit, that would be three. So, if we can push up higher, I do expect there to be some if we if oil continues to push back up towards the $100 handle, I could see some resistance right here at the 9945 from prior price action right here and then the 618 of this move for oil. But then this down-sloping trend line coming into play, if we push up to past the $100 handle to about 104, 105, then this long-term down-sloping trend line could shut down oil to the downside. Let's check out gold and see how it's responded this week with yields elevated and pressure. And if we go right here, uh last Friday, gold was able to pierce this or just kiss this 4,400 level, but was not able to get past this 4,402 swing low pivot from right here. Uh this will be the next resistance This is the main resistance level gold has to take down. Then we also have this relative down uh down-sloping trend line that's now capping lower highs for gold. So, we try and push back up out of here, as see we're we're now moving away from that since last Wednesday's test, but if we push up on a say Monday, this would be this test would be at about 4,300. Trying to line that up. Bear with me. Um good to see us kind of wick into this low pivot here at 4,240. Golden trying to stay above this. Looking at Bitcoin next. So, today on a Friday, we look like we're going to come down. We're testing support here, retracing, and then capitulated up on Monday, having a huge day. Just on Monday, Bitcoin rose 7 to 8% and saw a bunch of altcoins also come in and get bids to the upside. Next major resistance level I have for Bitcoin is this 87,395 level. As you see, we wicked into this level here and then just kissed it here. This will be the next level to take down for Bitcoin. Then I also have this upslipping trendline from this low pivot here, cutting through price action here as it is now acting right here support and now flips to resistance. And then pressing on this, that's what could be shutting down price right here the past 2 days is this trendline. If we come back If we come back down, look for this trendline from 80,000 to 82,000 for support for Bitcoin. Some of the largest movers that we were looking to short in trade this week in the stock market was Meta. Holy cow, what a move on this. Last week, it was just dabbling into the 680 range, unable to get above this pivot shelf, this downsloping trendline here. Right here, um slightly downsloping and we were starting hammering on it. And then on Monday, we rose Oops. 12%, 17% at its highest yesterday and it is now since coming in for Meta. Looking to see if it can kind of build some near-term support at this high pivot here. It filled the gap here at around 738 and is now wicking into this level looking to consolidate for the next leg higher. So, where would that next leg higher be? That is going to be this double top at 796.25 um the all-time high for Meta and this is a this is a great setup for a short here. So, a double top we have an we have a a nice all-time high then a deep healthy pullback to lows and now a sharp sharp move up into this level. Not a slow grind. A sharp move into this probabilities favor a pullback here. If we do get a pullback and break these near-term supports at 744, I have this long-term trend line kind of like Bitcoin that we use it as a mean where we flip polarity from support resistance. This would be now support as we broke above that on Monday. Should we come back into on Monday the 719 720 region for Meta, look for this trend line for a bounce play to continue on higher. All right, guys. Thank you guys for staying this long. The last one we're going to finish up with this video with is Dell. On Friday, it set another all-time high at 596 getting close to that $600 print that Dell wants um and I think it's going to happen next week. I could see that happening. With that and I say that because we now have this upsloping channel where this one just now has a third hit from yesterday and today uh today's price action and now we're not trending lower towards the trend line. We're pushing to close much higher around 565. So, with that if we continue to kind of bounce in between this trend line, this could take Dell upwards to 650 700. With that, look for support if Dell comes back down right here on Thursday last Thursday, we came down to this trend line that we broke out of. Look for this trend line now as support around 516 to 520. Thank you guys so much for joining me today on this weekly wrap-up. My name is Jake Sweeney, pro trader here at Verified Investing.
