Assalamu’alaikum and hey there, trader family! 👋

🔹 Friday Market Wrap – Let’s Zoom Out & Breathe 🔹

The weekend’s knocking—and it’s the perfect time to slow down a little, take a deep breath, and reflect. Let’s shift our view from the noisy 10-minute charts and take a look at the daily and weekly trends.

Markets have, of course, been doing what markets do—moving. 📉📈

But the real question is: what’s the bigger story unfolding here?

Minutes Chart:

📊 So, what happened this week?

Well, after last week’s gap-up optimism, things have taken a turn. This week leaned bearish.

Here’s the gist:

Investor confidence took a hit amid fresh concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and ballooning national debt.
Moody’s downgraded the U.S. government’s credit outlook—spooking the markets, even though economic fundamentals didn’t budge much.
Congress passed a new tax bill, aiming to extend cuts—which could add more strain to the deficit.
On the global front, trade tensions bubbled up again as Trump floated the idea of new tariffs on Apple and the EU—undermining hopes for de-escalation.

Daily charts:

The result?

Major indices dropped more than 2% this week. And analysts are saying this kind of market chop might stick around—especially if a certain someone gets a second term.

Weekly charts:

💬 But what do you think?

Could this just be a short pause before the next move up? Or are we staring at a bigger correction?

I’d love to hear what you’re seeing, sensing, or even struggling with right now.

Drop a comment or send me a DM—always happy to talk markets, mindset, or just real life.

📌 Gentle reminder before we sign off:

Trading is more like a road trip than a race. You’ll have pit stops, wrong turns, maybe even a flat tire or two.

But if your map is solid and your mindset is grounded, you’ll make it through.

So don’t force it.

Stick to your plan.

Take breaks when you need to.

Ignore the noise when it gets too loud.

Consistency > Intensity. Always.

⚠️ Just to be clear:

This isn’t financial advice—just one trader sharing thoughts with another.

Always do your own research, and if you’re ever in doubt, talk to a licensed expert.

That’s all from me for this week.

In shaa Allah, I’ll be back next Saturday with another check-in.

Until then—stay present, stay patient, and don’t forget to take care of you too.

Wishing you a restful, meaningful, and recharging weekend. 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,

Syazwan Bakar
