The week ended in positive territory for major U.S. indices as considered a week ago based on their price structure. Our high-probability setups correctly favored bullish moves for $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$. Tech indeed led the move illustrated by the sector heatmap below for the week with $Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLK)$ jumping +3.7% and Financials $Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$ following with +2.3%.

A sharp divergence emerged between digital and tangible assets this week. Bitcoin remained range-bound with bulls defending support at $86,600 against critical resistance at $90,000.

This rotation suggests investors are currently favoring precious metals over cryptocurrencies as hedges against geopolitical tensions and dollar weakness. We will study Bitcoin and Metals in the premium section below as we do every weekend.

While this economic heat has pushed the probability of a January Federal Reserve rate cut below 15%, investors remain undeterred. The major indices appear positioned to protect year to date gains approaching 18% as strong growth data outweighs immediate monetary policy concerns heading into the new year.
