Nasdaq: in this episode, I share my method for a quick market overview. I compare the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq to spot where the weakness is clearest. Then, I observe the annual low and the immediate reaction at the Asian market open, which is useful for reading a support (the 23,000 zone). I integrate the macroeconomic context: the sensitivity of high-tech to rates, WTI crude oil and the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump's statements, and Jerome Powell's "wait and see" message. I conclude with gold in a range and a bitcoin that drops quickly and recovers slowly. Subscribe if this helps.

Technical analysis of financial markets: I break down this Monday morning starting with a technical bounce, but lacking energy. On Friday, indices closed at yearly lows, then Asia printed a new bottom before a gradual return toward the close. I detail the crucial levels to monitor: CAC 40 testing 7,600 down to the 7,500 zone, DAX, and US indices showing a technical recovery (Dow Jones around 45,000, Nasdaq between 23,300 and 23,350, S&P 500 near 6,360). Meanwhile, Iran-US geopolitics remain tense, and I highlight the anticipation surrounding the US open and Powell's 4:30 PM speech. I also review gold, a fragile Bitcoin under $70,000, and WTI crude oil above $100, which is extremely dangerous to trade right now. Subscribe if this helps.

Trading, frustration, and timing: I recount my evening on the Nasdaq, waiting in ambush at my 740-750 zone while the market slowly slid into an 'ideal' scenario... until a statement from Donald Trump around 9:10 PM caused indices to spike rapidly. I caught a small piece of the rally and quickly cashed out because it was too tense and highly volatile, choosing not to revenge trade through scalping. Afterward, I review the key zones, the Iran/US news, and risk management ahead of the weekend. Subscribe if this helps.

Market analysis through a very concrete scene: in the midst of war, channels remain open... but via a shuttle of intermediaries, without face-to-face meetings. I connect this logic to range-bound markets and my hesitation on the Nasdaq around a key level. A bounce was present, but I passed my turn due to an empty order book and a spread that was too wide at the European open. Between geopolitical tensions, market liquidity, prudence, and adaptation, the underlying idea remains simple: surviving matters more than shining. Subscribe if this helps.

Trading and the stock market are not a game: in this episode, I dismantle the illusion of "easy money" and the panic at the slightest drop. I point out that a 4% swing on an index remains normal, and that those who cry "flash crash" are often using too much leverage. Given the context involving Iran, oil, and geopolitical tensions, I emphasize weekend risk and risk management. "The goal in the stock market is to last." Subscribe if this helps.

Market news: I recount the morning following the Fed (FOMC) decision, followed by the Bank of Japan and the Bank of Canada, all cautious about the impact of oil prices. In the background, Iran, an attack on a gas site, and the stakes of the Strait of Hormuz heighten tensions ahead of the weekend and the festival of lights. I describe a red market, the Nasdaq under pressure, gold dropping despite its safe-haven status, and Bitcoin retreating. Subscribe if this helps.

FOMC and Fed: I start with a market update, then the live session takes me elsewhere. Between a ranging session on the Nasdaq, waiting for Jerome Powell's speech, and the oil question, I shift to artificial intelligence, the cost of money, and company financing (borrowing versus dilution). I also discuss Uber and its robotaxi announcement using Nvidia software, along with a very personal sci-fi-style detour. Finally, I return to the indices, gold, and Bitcoin. Subscribe if it helps.

Nasdaq 100 in a range: I describe a sleepy session, stuck in about a 150-point span, with sellers identified above 25,000 and a bounce around 24,750. I review the anticipation around the FOMC (FedWatch at 99.1% for unchanged rates) and explain why Jerome Powell's speech carries less weight in my opinion. The hot spot is actually Nvidia: developer conference, AI chip and software announcements, and the potential impact on the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. Subscribe if this helps.

Central banks in the background: I recap a week driven by monetary policy, where everyone awaits interest rate decisions. Between the Fed, the ECB, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Canada, I highlight what this means for intraday trading activity. I connect the dots with inflation and oil nearing $100, the context around the Strait of Hormuz, and then I break down my market perspective: Nasdaq in a range, weaker S&P 500 and Dow Jones, highly stable DAX, CAC 40 under 8000, without forgetting Bitcoin and gold.

Oil and oil barrels: in this episode, I set the record straight on the media noise about the “$100” mark. I share the current WTI level (around $95, peaking near $98) and explain the classic mistake between spot prices and further-out futures contracts, where interest rates are factored in. I connect this to the end-of-week context (cautious managers, lighter portfolios) and the risk of a surprise event like the Strait of Hormuz. At 1:30 PM, three US stats drop together (employment, Michigan, PCE) with the FED/FOMC in focus, while the Nasdaq, gold, and Bitcoin remain in waiting mode. Subscribe if this helps.
