Assalamu’alaikum and hey trader friends! 👋

🔹 Friday Market Wrap – Time to Breathe and Reflect 🔹

How’s your week been—not just on the charts, but in life too? Been sleeping well? Feeling balanced? Trading can sometimes feel like it takes over everything, so I hope you’ve had a chance to find some peace, progress, or at least a little joy this week.

Before we fully kick into weekend mode, let’s take a step back. The market’s been moving, yes—but what’s it really telling us? Let’s zoom out and reflect together.

Minutes Chart:

📊 What’s the Market Saying?

The bull looked like it needed a nap this week—things leaned slightly bearish.

On the news front:

The U.S. and U.K. shook hands on a preliminary trade deal, and the U.S. is lining up talks with China this weekend. There’s a cautious sense of hope in the air, even with tariffs still casting a long shadow. There’s even talk of an 80% rate on China (yes, 80% 😬), so traders are keeping their ears to the ground.

Daily charts:

The Dow slipped by 0.29%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq nudged down a bit too. The Fed decided to hold interest rates steady, keeping a close eye on inflation and job data. As for the services sector—mixed signals, but still showing signs of expansion.

💬 What’s Your Take?

Are we just in a lull—or are we gearing up for the next wave?

Would love to know what you’re seeing, sensing, or predicting. Drop your thoughts in the comments or DM me—always happy to chat markets or mindset.

📌 Real Talk:

Trading isn’t a sprint—it’s more like a marathon with hurdles and surprises along the way.

Stay patient. Keep your eyes on your own plan. Tune out the noise when you need to.

Clarity and consistency? Always a winning combo.

⚠️ Quick Heads-Up:

This post is just for learning and sharing—not financial advice.

Always, always do your own research—and talk to a licensed pro if you’re unsure.

That’s it from me this week.

Until next Saturday in shaa Allah—keep learning, stay humble, and take care of yourself.

Wishing you a restful, rewarding weekend ahead. 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,

Syazwan Bakar
