Markets 4.17.2026

SP 500

SP 500

SP 500

The SPX weekly chart was Up 

4.54% last week.


The options markets are showing Calls and Puts are about even this next Monday, and Calls are favored the following two Fridays.


Take all signals a grain of salt with the IRAN issue/news moving oil and markets for now. Headlines on Saturday say Iran is closing the straight of Hormuz after cease fire agreements were violated.  


The charts are looking to go higher near term.


Proceed with caution, day traders paradise. 





If you want to own this web sight, make me an offer. (at least $20,000,000)

2 Fridays out- Calls in favor, higher prices.


Charts are moving higher off of recent lows.


 


I call this DAY TRADERS PARADISE, and that statement continues.



Semis

SP 500

Consumer Discretionary

The SOX  was Up 7.49% last week.  


 The options markets are in favor of Calls these next two weeks.  


Semis are moving higher. 


 


I call this DAY TRADERS PARADISE, and that statement continues.



Consumer Discretionary

Consumer Discretionary

Consumer Discretionary

XLY was Up 6.66% last week. 


Charts are looking to go higher.

 



  Minimum wage for me is $5,000,000,000. Based  on my BS MS ACT GMAT%, efforts, american Pay check/business license precedents. 

Energy

Consumer Discretionary

Junk Bonds

The XLE was Down 3.37% last week.


Options prices are in favor of puts, and a Down move.


 Oil prices will drive markets The war in Iran will determine things for the world economy.



  




Junk Bonds

Consumer Discretionary

Junk Bonds

HYG Junk, high yield bonds, indicating Risk 'on' or 'off'.

 

HYG was Up .86% last week. 


Options favor Puts and lower prices.  The charts are looking to go higher, proceed with caution as the options market is predicting lower prices, the news and IRAN will move the markets until the war is 100% over.


 

 

20 Year Treasury Bond

20 Year Treasury Bond

20 Year Treasury Bond

 The TLT goes UP when interest rates are going lower, and the SPX generally goes UP with the TLT these days.


TLT was Up .67% this week. 


Puts are in favor Monday,  and these next two weeks, thus predicting lower prices.









Volatility Index

20 Year Treasury Bond

20 Year Treasury Bond

$VIX- increases in Volatility lead to lower stock prices.


VIX was Down 9.10% last week.


 Calls are in favor the next two weeks, predicting higher volatility, lower stock prices.  Perhaps volatility is 'oversold'. - last week's statement holds, and did not materialized last week, therefore take these options analysis for what they are, not 100% correct, immediately, but perhaps foreshadowing the near future. 


Oil and Iran issue will dictate volatility.




Gold

20 Year Treasury Bond

Silver

Gold was Up 2.01% last week.  


Options prices are about even, not showing any direction.


Charts show  prices moving higher.









Silver

Bitcoin

Silver

Silver was Up 6.59% last week.  


Puts are again slightly in favor and thus lower prices for Silver. Again these signals were not correct last week. 



Copper

Bitcoin

Bitcoin

Copper was Up 3.52% last week.  


Puts are in favor and thus lower prices for Copper.


Dr. Copper, a signal for basic industrial growth is moving higher. 



Bitcoin

Bitcoin

Bitcoin

Bitcoin was Up 5.73% last week.  


Calls are  in favor and thus higher prices for Bitcoin. 


This week's chart looks good for Bitcoin to continue higher.  The War/Iran/Oil issues continue to keep uncertainty alive. 


Mixed Signals here for everything.
