Reasons Behind the Market Plunge
Last Friday delivered the worst day of 2026 for both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 — and the “good” jobs report may be a big reason why. Payrolls came in hotter than expected, rate-hike odds jumped, and the market finally snapped after a 9-week win streak. I’ll show you why this pullback may be healthy, why it doesn’t feel that way in real time, and how I’m preparing for the next wave of breakout opportunities.
