A big week: Fed cut rates, indices pushed to new highs, small caps reclaimed leadership, and leaders kept pressing higher.
Let’s take a look at the charts that matter most 👇
$IWM gets the starting spot this week with a new all-time high weekly close.
It’s been a long road back to the $240s — a level that’s been resistance before.
📊Volume was heavy this week. RSI not yet overbought.
The question now ➡ follow-through or another stall?
The next extension level higher doesn't come in until near ~$295s.
Below, there is potential support near ~$229-$230, the 10-week MA🔴and the AVWAP🟠 from the July test of support pivots and the 40-week MA🔵.
$SPX extended its bounce from the 10-week MA, taking RSI > 70, and moving on high volume.
7000 and the 1.618 extension are getting closer.
$QQQ with its 3rd week higher as well, nearing the upper Bollinger Band while taking the weekly RSI > 70 and into 'overbought' status.
Volume was also above average.
$DIA rounds out the perfect 4/4 week.
RSI at 64 leaves plenty of room for more momentum, and the next extension is $504.22.
Support could be found near $449-$451.
Moving overseas - $ACWX The Rest Of The World was up too, but with a potential topping candle in the form of a shooting star candle at the upper Bollinger Band.
📈That's one sign of extension. OTOH, the 10-week MA isn't that far below, and RSI is still below 70.
🔃This could pull back into the lower $60s from here, or push on towards the next ext. level at $71.74.
🇨🇳 $FXI China has a similar look, but with the added factor of a retracement level adding some resistance.
RSI followed prices higher, while the DeMark 9 setup has proven to be (at least) a week early.
High-quality bonds with a bit of an 'about face' this week.
↩️ $AGG and $TLT reversed last week's breakout action.
But high-yield buyers were still present, taking $HYG smoothly upward along the trend area.
$DXY $DX1! The Dollar showed signs of life with a strong reversal off the pivot, leaving a very long shadow on the bottom of this weekly candle.
There should be plenty of resistance just above, so this is far from a decisive move. We'll see if price action confirms in coming weeks.

📈Weekly Charts📉are back! With Strength💪across the board.
✔️New highs. Broad participation. Even bonds are breaking out.
❔While some seasonality concerns linger, the weight of the evidence remains bullish — for now.
Let’s zoom out and break it down.👇
$SPX
📈Another new weekly closing high, up ~3.5% from last week’s low.
📊Volume? Above average.
😎RSI? Rising, but not overbought (68.22).
💪Momentum and structure both remain strong.
$QQQ
✅ New all-time closing high
📈 Up ~4.75% from last week’s dip below the 10-week MA
🔊 Volume firm, RSI climbing but still reasonable
📏 Bollinger Bands still tightening — watch for expansion
Big tech leading again, with clean trend continuation.
$SPX faced indecision this week, printing a spinning top candle -- meaning, the open and close were almost the same, and both landed right in the middle of the week's range.
🔵5756 is the 40-week MA above
🟠5575 is the AVWAP below
RSI is in the center, and volume was average
$QQQ spent another week testing the 40-week MA, but could not move above.
Both $SPX and $QQQ are still classified as 'a reactionary bounce in a flat to down trending market.'
The Bollinger Bands are pointing lower while price is still in the lower half of those bands, and below a flat 40-week MA with RSI exactly in the middle.
Welcome to the📈Weekly Charts📉thread. Grab a coffee (or two) and let's have a look at the destruction. 🔴
Stocks took another Tariff Tumble this week w/ $SPX falling nearly🔻-10% from last week's close.
Prices ended the week below the August 5 pivot low with the selling coming on heavy volume.
Weekly RSI is < 30, a condition not seen since the COVID crash when this index dropped ~35%. It is currently down about half that much, or -17% from the high weekly close.
The next potential support levels on this chart come with pivots near 4818 and 4953, with an AVWAP🟠 from the Oct. '22 low at 4896.
$QQQ has exceeded the -20% drawdown mark (~$432), closing the week very close to the August pivot low.
RSI is < 30, and volume was almost double the average.
Potential support is roughly near $400-$410 in a series of pivots and the AVWAP🟠from the start of the uptrend.
$IWM after 3 weeks of struggle with the Oct. low AVWAP, small caps gave up the fight and fell into the $170s before getting a slight bounce.
