Assalamu’alaikum & hey traders, how’s your week been so far?

Whether you’ve been celebrating wins, navigating some tough spots, or just keeping steady—props to you. Trading takes resilience, and every bit of effort you put in matters. Let’s take a breather, reset, and ease into the weekend with some perspective.

📊 Friday Market Wrap – Weekly Recap

Before we close the charts and enjoy some downtime, here’s a quick look back at how the markets moved this week:

Minutes Chart:

📈 This Week in the Markets

Markets lit up on Friday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at possible rate cuts as early as next month during the Jackson Hole symposium. That boost of optimism sent the Dow soaring nearly 850 points to a new record high. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq followed suit, shaking off earlier weakness in the week. While big tech stocks had been trailing, Powell’s comments helped spark a rebound—Tesla, Amazon, and Alphabet all jumped.

Daily charts:

On the other side, value and cyclical stocks also gained traction, backed by steady consumer spending, as shown in strong earnings from retailers like Walmart and Target.

💬 Your Turn

What do you think—are we looking at the start of a sustained rally, or just a temporary lift before the next pullback? Share your thoughts—I always enjoy hearing your perspective.

🌱 Reminder for the Journey

Trading isn’t about quick wins—it’s about endurance. Some weeks feel effortless, others test your patience. The key is to keep moving forward with discipline and clarity. Stick to your plan, manage your risks, and trust the process.

⚠️ Quick Note

This isn’t financial advice, just sharing insights and observations. Always do your own research and, if needed, consult with a licensed advisor.

That’s a wrap for this week.

Take time to recharge, spend moments with your loved ones, and Inn shaa Allah, I’ll see you again next Friday.

Stay grounded, stay sharp, and have a blessed weekend. 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,
