SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade End Of Week Update For 7-4Happy 4th of July I've been very busy with projects and new tools for traders, as well as the new book I'm working on, and thought I would deliver an End Of Week update for everyone. In this video, I cover the past Cycle Patterns and how they played out for the SPY/QQQ, Gold/Silver, and Bitcoin, as well as add some of my own insight related to the market trends. All of my systems are still LONG and have not changed. I still believe this market is extremely overbought, and I believe it could roll over at any moment into a pullback - but we need to wait to see if/when that may/does happen. Gold made a big move higher this week, and I believe that move could continue throughout July. Bitcoin made a surprising Double-Top and is not rolling downward. Could be a breakdown in the markets as BTCUSD tends to lead the QQQ/NQ by about 3-5 days. The SPY/QQQ rallied like a rocket all week. It was absolutely incredible to see the markets rally like this. But, I'm still cautious of a sudden rollover top. I managed to catch some nice trades with options spreads this week, and my metals positions were on fire. I'm still trading from a "hedge everything" mode as I don't trust this rally, and I'm still watching for REJECTIONS near these new highs. Stay safe and GET SOME.

KWEB: China’s Internet Sector - AI Catch-Up and Cheap ValuationsChina’s internet and tech stocks have been hammered for years — regulatory crackdowns, slowing growth fears, and geopolitical tension have crushed sentiment. But as investors know, the best opportunities often hide in what everyone hates. Enter KWEB, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF. It’s a diversified, liquid way to play a bounce in major names like Alibaba, Tencent, JD .com, Baidu, Meituan and PDD. Here’s why I think the risk/reward looks compelling now — especially if you believe in AI closing the gap. Key Bullish Points: 1) Valuations at Rock-Bottom Many big China internet stocks are still trading at single-digit P/E ratios, even as their cash flows recover. Compared to U.S. big tech trading at 30–50x, this is a huge valuation gap. Regulatory fears seem largely priced in — Beijing wants growth, not stagnation, and some policies are easing. 2) China’s AI Push — Just “Months Behind” Jansen Whang recently argued that China’s generative AI development is only “months behind” the U.S. Players like Baidu, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, and SenseTime are all racing to launch new LLMs and integrated AI tools. If you believe the gap closes, Chinese platforms could see a major earnings rebound as they roll out AI upgrades across search, cloud, e-commerce and social media. 3) Sentiment So Bad, It’s Good When the headlines scream “China is uninvestable,” that’s often when big mean reversion trades set up. Even a small policy pivot, stimulus plan, or positive AI news cycle can spark a sharp rally. KWEB is one of the cleanest ways to express this view because it holds a diversified basket — you don’t have to pick a single winner.

Debugging Pine Script with log.info()log.info() is one of the most powerful tools in Pine Script that no one knows about. Whenever you code, you want to be able to debug, or find out why something isn’t working. The log.info() command will help you do that. Without it, creating more complex Pine Scripts becomes exponentially more difficult. The first thing to note is that log.info() only displays strings. So, if you have a variable that is not a string, you must turn it into a string in order for log.info() to work. The way you do that is with the str.tostring() command. And remember, it's all lower case! You can throw in any numeric value (float, int, timestamp) into str.string() and it should work. Next, in order to make your output intelligible, you may want to identify whatever value you are logging. For example, if an RSI value is 50, you don’t want a bunch of lines that just say “50”. You may want it to say “RSI = 50”. To do that, you’ll have to use the concatenation operator. For example, if you have a variable called “rsi”, and its value is 50, then you would use the “+” concatenation symbol. EXAMPLE 1 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ //@version=6 indicator("log.info()") rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) log.info(“RSI= ” + str.tostring(rsi)) Example Output =>  RSI= 50 Here, we use double quotes to create a string that contains the name of the variable, in this case “RSI = “, then we concatenate it with a stringified version of the variable, rsi. Now that you know how to write a log, where do you view them? There isn’t a lot of documentation on it, and the link is not conveniently located.  Open up the “Pine Editor” tab at the bottom of any chart view, and you’ll see a “3 dot” button at the top right of the pane. Click that, and right above the “Help” menu item you’ll see “Pine logs”. Clicking that will open  that to open a pane on the right of your browser - replacing whatever was in the right pane area before. This is where your log output will show up.  But, because you’re dealing with time series data, using the log.info() command without some type of condition will give you a fast moving stream of numbers that will be difficult to interpret. So, you may only want the output to show up once per bar, or only under specific conditions.  To have the output show up only after all computations have completed, you’ll need to use the barState.islast command. Remember, barState is camelCase, but islast is not! EXAMPLE 2 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ //@version=6 indicator("log.info()") rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) if barState.islast  log.info("RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi)) plot(rsi) However, this can be less than ideal, because you may want the value of the rsi variable on a particular bar, at a particular time, or under a specific chart condition. Let’s hit these one at a time. In each of these cases, the built-in bar_index variable will come in handy. When debugging, I typically like to assign a variable “bix” to represent bar_index, and include it in the output. So, if I want to see the rsi value when RSI crosses above 0.5, then I would have something like: EXAMPLE 3 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ //@version=6 indicator("log.info()") rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) bix = bar_index rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,0.5) if rsiCrossedOver log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi)) plot(rsi) Example Output =>  bix=19964 - RSI=51.8449459867 bix=19972 - RSI=50.0975830828 bix=19983 - RSI=53.3529808079 bix=19985 - RSI=53.1595745146 bix=19999 - RSI=66.6466337654 bix=20001 - RSI=52.2191767466 Here, we see that the output only appears when the condition is met. A useful thing to know is that if you want to limit the number of decimal places, then you would use the command str.tostring(rsi,”#.##”), which tells the interpreter that the format of the number should only be 2 decimal places. Or you could round the rsi variable with a command like rsi2 = math.round(rsi*100)/100 . In either case you’re output would look like: bix=19964 - RSI=51.84 bix=19972 - RSI=50.1 bix=19983 - RSI=53.35 bix=19985 - RSI=53.16 bix=19999 - RSI=66.65 bix=20001 - RSI=52.22 This would decrease the amount of memory that’s being used to display your variable’s values, which can become a limitation for the log.info() command. It only allows 4096 characters per line, so when you get to trying to output arrays (which is another cool feature), you’ll have to keep that in mind. Another thing to note is that log output is always preceded by a timestamp, but for the sake of brevity, I’m not including those in the output examples. If you wanted to only output a value after the chart was fully loaded, that’s when barState.islast command comes in. Under this condition, only one line of output is created per tick update — AFTER the chart has finished loading. For example, if you only want to see what the the current bar_index and rsi values are, without filling up your log window with everything that happens before, then you could use the following code: EXAMPLE 4 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ //@version=6 indicator("log.info()") rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) bix = bar_index if barstate.islast log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi)) Example Output => bix=20203 - RSI=53.1103309071 This value would keep updating after every new bar tick. The log.info() command is a huge help in creating new scripts, however, it does have its limitations. As mentioned earlier, only 4096 characters are allowed per line. So, although you can use log.info() to output arrays, you have to be aware of how many characters that array will use. The following code DOES NOT WORK! And, the only way you can find out why will be the red exclamation point next to the name of the indicator. That, and nothing will show up on the chart, or in the logs. // CODE DOESN’T WORK //@version=6 indicator("MW - log.info()") var array rsi_arr = array.new() rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) bix = bar_index rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,50)  if rsiCrossedOver     array.push(rsi_arr, rsi) if barstate.islast     log.info("rsi_arr:" + str.tostring(rsi_arr))     log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi)) plot(rsi) // No code errors, but will not compile because too much is being written to the logs. However, after putting some time restrictions in with the i_startTime and i_endTime user input variables, and creating a dateFilter variable to use in the conditions, I can limit the size of the final array. So, the following code does work. EXAMPLE 5 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ // CODE DOES WORK //@version=6 indicator("MW - log.info()") i_startTime         = input.time(title="Start", defval=timestamp("01 Jan 2025 13:30 +0000")) i_endTime           = input.time(title="End", defval=timestamp("1 Jan 2099 19:30 +0000")) var array rsi_arr = array.new() dateFilter = time >= i_startTime and time <= i_endTime  rsi = ta.rsi(close,14) bix = bar_index rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,50) and dateFilter // <== The dateFilter condition keeps the array from getting too big if rsiCrossedOver     array.push(rsi_arr, rsi) if barstate.islast     log.info("rsi_arr:" + str.tostring(rsi_arr))     log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi)) plot(rsi) Example Output => rsi_arr: bix=20210 - RSI=56.9030578034 Of course, if you restrict the decimal places by using the rounding the rsi value with something like rsiRounded = math.round(rsi * 100) / 100 , then you can further reduce the size of your array. In this case the output may look something like: Example Output => rsi_arr: bix=20210 - RSI=55.6947486019 This will give your code a little breathing room. In a nutshell, I was coding for over a year trying to debug by pushing output to labels, tables, and using libraries that cluttered up my code. Once I was able to debug with log.info() it was a game changer. I was able to start building much more advanced scripts. Hopefully, this will help you on your journey as well.

$IBIT: ETF can turn bullish in the weekly this week......if all goes well, and the daily trend works nicely (maybe hitting target #2 this week if news favor us in the coming days and gap fading a$$holes don't kill the trend if we get a 4th of July gap up), Bitcoin will start to trend up strongly. The monthly timeframe is already bullish as of June's close on the 30th, so odds are good. Are you positioned? Leave me comments below, what are you holding? Trading perps or only spot? Using defi or merely hodling at CEX or cold storage? Best of luck! Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

Opening (IRA): SPY July 18th 495 Short Put... for a 5.13 credit. Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. Max Profit: 5.13 ROC at Max as a Function of Strike Price: 1.04% Will generally look to roll up if the short put is in profit at 45 DTE or greater, add at intervals if I can get in at strikes better than what I currently have on at the June 513's and July 495's, and/or consider a "window dressing" roll (i.e., a roll down to a strike that is paying about the same in credit) to milk the last drops out of the position.

Pre-Earnings Breakout in Financials?Financials could be attempting a breakout, two weeks before the sector kicks off earnings season. The first pattern on today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Financial ETF is the price level around $52. XLF stalled at that zone in February after peaking about 1 percent below it in November. February 28’s final price of $52.18 could be especially important because it represented the highest weekly close. The fund broke above it on Monday and remaining here could represent a potentially more significant breakout. Second is the narrow price range between mid-May and late June. (Notice the tightening Bollinger Band Width.) Could that period of price compression open the door to price expansion? Third, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA. MACD is also rising. Those signals may reflect short-term bullishness. Next, the steadily rising 200-day simple moving average may reflect long-term bullishness. Finally, the calendar may be a factor because Wells Fargo reports earnings on Monday, July 14. Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and others follow later in the week. Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above: SPDR Select Sector Financial ETF (XLF) 1-year: +27.39% 5-years: +126.32% 10-year: +164.49% (As of June 30, 2025) Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are subject to management fees and other expenses.

XLK ETF. TO WAR, OR NOT TO WAR — THAT IS THE QUESTION..US stock futures edged lower Wednesday evening ahead of Thursday’s market closure for Juneteenth. The moves came after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, with Chair Jerome Powell striking a cautious tone amid rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Powell reaffirmed a data-dependent approach, pointing to unclear inflation impacts from President Trump’s tariffs and the risk of stagflation. Fed projections now include two rate cuts in 2025, alongside downgraded growth expectations and higher inflation forecasts. Investor sentiment was further dampened by escalating tensions in the Middle East, as the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict stoked fears of deeper US involvement, while North Korea has recently launched 10 rockets from near capital Pyongyang. Futures for 7 of the 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the Prime Day holiday in the red, led by declines in energy, while technology outperformed. What is more important Technology sector is the one and only over 11 S&P 500 sectors that has printed recently new all the history high, just one - two days before Prime Day. What is XLK The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF AMEX:XLK ETF is respectively The Technology Select Sector ETF, that seeks to provide investment results correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Technology Sector Index. The largest 5 holdings of this ETF are Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT , Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA , Apple NASDAQ:AAPL , Broadcom NASDAQ:AVGO and Oracle NYSE:ORCL , while all together they weight nearly 50 percent of the fund by market cap. Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT shares have experienced a significant upward trend in 2025, reaching new all-time highs and reflecting the company’s robust financial performance and strategic positioning in the technology sector. Record Highs and Price Momentum As of June 18, 2025, Microsoft’s stock closed at $480.24, marking its highest closing price ever. This price is just below its 52-week high of $481.00 and represents a 14% gain year-to-date, making Microsoft one of the best-performing stocks among the so-called “Magnificent Seven” tech giants in 2025. The stock’s average price over the past 52 weeks was $422.77, and its 52-week low was $344.79, which is 28.2% below the current level, highlighting the impressive rally over the past year. Short-Term and Long-Term Performance In the immediate term, Microsoft’s stock has shown steady gains. Over the past week, the share price rose by 2.03%, and over the past month, it increased by 6.36%. Looking at a broader horizon, the stock is up 6.79% over the last year, underscoring consistent investor confidence and the company’s ability to capitalize on growth opportunities. Drivers Behind the Rally Several factors have contributed to Microsoft’s recent share price surge: Artificial Intelligence Investment. Microsoft continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, with plans to spend $80 billion in fiscal 2025. This aggressive investment is seen as crucial to maintaining a competitive edge in cloud computing and AI services, areas that are driving much of the company’s growth. Cost Management. Despite the heavy spending on AI, Microsoft is also focused on controlling costs. The company is reportedly planning to trim thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, to offset rising expenses and protect profit margins. This follows earlier workforce reductions and reflects a broader trend among major tech firms to optimize operations amid escalating AI-related costs. Diversified Revenue Streams. Microsoft’s strong position in software, cloud computing, and AI, along with its subscription-based business model and consistent dividend growth, have bolstered investor sentiment. The company’s cloud platform Azure and productivity tools continue to show strong adoption across industries. Market and Analyst Sentiment Microsoft’s market capitalization recently reached $3.55 trillion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.94, indicating high investor expectations for future growth. Analysts’ price targets for MSFT range from $432 to $700, suggesting a wide spectrum of views but generally positive long-term sentiment. Competitive and Operational Challenges Despite its strong performance, Microsoft faces competitive pressures, particularly from OpenAI, which has been offering discounted ChatGPT subscriptions, impacting Microsoft’s own AI products like Copilot. Additionally, negotiations with OpenAI over continued access to its technology have reportedly stalled, introducing some uncertainty into Microsoft’s AI strategy. Technical challenge and summary While Microsoft shares have recently hit record highs, driven by aggressive AI investment, disciplined cost management, and strong core business performance, it robustly helped to all the Technology sector came back to 6-month key resistance after nearly 40 percent recovery rally. While the market faces different challenges, we keep our strategic focus on next positions and further stock market development. -- Best wishes, @PandorraResearch Team 😎
