In this week's stock market outlook, Matt breaks down the technical battle facing the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, reviews the biggest winners and losers of earnings season, and grades Kevin Warsh's performance as Federal Reserve Chair following the latest Fed meeting. The bulls reclaimed an important trend line, but the broader trend still needs confirmation. Matt identifies the resistance levels required for a legitimate breakout, the support zones traders must defend, and the signals coming from RSI and MACD heading into the new trading week. Earnings growth has been exceptional, but the market has not rewarded every company that beat expectations. Matt reviews the best and worst reports of the season, separates true operating strength from headline distortions, and explains what the results mean for technology and the broader market. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady following a contentious meeting. Matt breaks down the decision, the dissents, Kevin Warsh's communication strategy, and whether the new Fed Chair has earned a passing grade so far. • The S&P 500 breakout test and key market levels • Earnings season growth, market reactions, and major surprises • The strongest and weakest earnings reports • The Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision • Kevin Warsh's first report card as Fed Chair • Precision Trader and the upcoming Master Trader series
This week on the Trading Justice Podcast, I break down the improving technical conditions in the market as the S&P 500 approaches a potential breakout. After weeks of choppy consolidation, bullish momentum is starting to improve, support levels are rising, and the market enters the week with its best technical setup in several weeks. I also break down the developing reversal setups in gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum before celebrating America's 250th birthday with the Founders Portfolio. If the Founding Fathers were stocks in today's market, which companies would they be? From George Washington and Berkshire Hathaway to Thomas Jefferson and SpaceX, I match each Founder's personality, accomplishments, and legacy with a modern company.
This week on the Trading Justice Podcast, I break down the biggest macro week of 2026 as the Iran peace deal gets announced, Kevin Warsh chairs his first FOMC meeting, and SpaceX enters week two after the largest IPO in market history. We discuss what the Iran MOU actually means for your portfolio, how a resolution to the conflict could change the entire inflation picture, and what the Fed is likely to do with rates this week. We also break down SpaceX week two through the lens of IPO history and what the data says about patience versus chasing the open.
This week on the Trading Justice Podcast, I break down a critical week for the market as traders navigate the first meaningful pullback in months, rising interest rate expectations, and growing volatility across the AI trade. We discuss why a surprisingly strong labor market report triggered aggressive selling, how bond market expectations are impacting stocks, and whether recent weakness should be viewed as a buying opportunity or a warning sign for investors. We also analyze key support levels on the S&P 500, sector rotation beneath the surface, and what traders should be watching in the days ahead. In our feature discussion, we tackle the upcoming SpaceX IPO. Using historical data from some of the largest and most anticipated IPOs of the last two decades, we examine what tends to happen after the hype, why patience often wins, and the lessons investors can learn before chasing the biggest public offering in market history.
In this episode, Matt and Mark break down a market holding firm at the highs as overextension is worked off through consolidation—not price. Instead of a pullback, we're seeing a high base develop, setting the stage for the next move as momentum resets and traders prepare for continuation or failure. They also dive into Jerome Powell's final press conference, what actually mattered (and what didn't), and how the Fed reaction is being interpreted beneath the surface. With a massive earnings week underway—led by the MAG 7—the focus shifts to whether earnings can confirm the strength already priced into the market.
Markets are stretched and the playbook matters. In this episode, Matt and Mark break down a market shifting from war-driven headlines to technicals and earnings. With the S&P 500 pushing into overextended territory, the focus turns to patience, secondary patterns, and how to navigate a fast-moving trend. They also dive into earnings season, what's driving price action, and how traders should approach a market that looks strong but still carries risk underneath. The featured segment covers a key topic: managing covered calls in an overextended market.
Markets are walking a tightrope right now. On one side, escalating geopolitical tension and rising oil prices. On the other, a market that continues to show resilience in the face of nonstop headlines.
In this week's episode, we break down the evolving war narrative, the impact on energy markets, and what it all means for inflation and global stability. From there, we shift into the technical landscape, analyzing how markets are responding under pressure and whether the current structure is signaling strength… or vulnerability.
Welcome back to the Trading Justice podcast as Matt and Mark break down a market being driven by geopolitical tension while quietly shifting underneath the surface. War headlines continue to dominate sentiment and take up the oxygen in the room, but the technical structure is beginning to change. After weeks of downside pressure, the market is showing signs of balance with improving support and a shift in behavior that could open the door to a new phase. The conversation then turns to earnings season, where expectations remain strong despite uncertainty.
Welcome out to another Trading Justice Podcast. This week, the market continues to wrestle with geopolitical uncertainty, shifting Fed expectations, and rising pressure from energy markets.

Welcome out to another Trading Justice podcast. We've got a packed show this week as the market continues to react to Fed uncertainty, rising oil prices, and heavy geopolitical tension in the Middle East. We break down the latest developments surrounding the Iran conflict, the impact of higher crude prices, and why the market continues to feel heavy while traders wait for support to build during the current correction cycle.
Welcome out to another Trading Justice podcast. We've got a packed show this week as the market continues to trade headlines surrounding the Iran conflict, crude oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. We break down the latest escalation around Kharg Island, why oil remains the key macro driver right now, and what traders should actually be watching while volatility stays elevated. We also preview this week's Fed meeting and take a look back at Jay Powell's tenure as Fed Chair. With only a couple meetings left before his term ends, we walk through the biggest moments of the Powell era — from the 2018 rate hikes and the Powell Pivot, to the pandemic response, the transitory inflation mistake, the aggressive hiking cycle, and the banking crisis. We discuss the best decisions, the worst mistakes, and where Powell ranks among modern Fed chairs. To close the show, we play a Polymarket game and react to betting odds tied to the war, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. military escalation, midterms, the 2028 election, OpenAI, aliens, movies, and even whether LeBron will retire. A mix of macro, markets, politics, and a little fun to finish the podcast.
This episode of Trading Justice breaks down a market being driven by geopolitics as oil headlines dominate the narrative. Matt and Mark begin with the escalation in the Middle East and why crude oil has become the central macro variable for markets right now. They discuss the Strait of Hormuz, the importance of Karg Island to global oil supply, and how energy infrastructure risk could influence inflation expectations and market volatility.
The conversation then turns to the latest labor report, which came in far weaker than expected. The hosts examine what the data may be signaling about the economy, why "bad news is good news" isn't working in the current environment, and how the growing influence of AI could continue to pressure job creation in the months ahead.
In the feature segment, Matt breaks down the ABC Cycle and explains how traders can differentiate between a normal market correction and the start of something more significant. Using recent price action, he walks through how the depth of the first move down can set expectations for the rest of the correction and what levels traders should be watching.
This episode of Trading Justice breaks down a market that refuses to trend even as headlines intensify. Mark and Matt begin with the technical landscape as the S&P 500 remains locked in range despite major catalysts including NVDA earnings and escalating conflict in the Middle East What will it actually take to break this structure? The conversation then shifts to oil and geopolitical risk. The hosts explain why the Strait of Hormuz matters, what true supply disruption would mean, and why crude oil is the real-time gauge of inflation pressure and macro risk.
They then analyze NVDA's earnings in detail. Strong beats, rising guidance, expanding margins and broadening demand. So why didn't price respond the way many expected?
The discussion expands into software, AI job displacement concerns, and whether the disruption narrative is moving faster than policymakers. They close with Jamie Dimon's credit warning, cross-asset signals from gold and Bitcoin, and what to watch in the week ahead including labor data and key earnings
This episode of Trading Justice centers on the tariff ruling that jolted the market narrative and quickly became the week's dominant macro conversation. Mark and Matt break down what actually changed, why the reaction has been driven more by expectations than immediate economics, and how traders can interpret the uncertainty without getting lost in the headlines. The conversation then shifts into the tariff ruling and its market implications. The hosts break down what the Supreme Court decision actually changes, why headline reactions can be misleading, and how traders should anchor their analysis on the effective tariff rate instead of political noise. The discussion emphasizes process, time horizons, and the practical reality of how policy uncertainty filters into market behavior.
The Dow at 50,000 made headlines and even drifted into political theater, but beneath the surface this market is clearly split into two very different trades. The QE rotation continues to power industrials, energy, materials, utilities, and the equal-weight S&P, while the AI trade has stalled, particularly in software, as valuations reset and narratives swirl around CapEx, disruption, and whether the infrastructure cycle has peaked. In this episode, Mark and Matt break down the technical structure behind the divergence. They explain why the S&P continues to stall near 7,000 while RSP trends higher, what the MACD is actually signaling about momentum control, and why strong earnings and record profit margins are not the source of recent weakness. The feature segment then tackles the biggest AI questions investors are wrestling with right now and shifts toward the longer-term labor implications that could reshape the economic landscape.
In this week's Trading Justice podcast, Mark and Matt Justice break down a busy market landscape shaped by AI volatility, software selloffs, and sector rotation under the surface.

The episode also explores the long-term implications of AI on labor, profit margins, and society, alongside a detailed look at gold and silver volatility.
