Before You Trade This Market, Watch This: Critical S&P & Nasdaq Warning

About this episode

Mike Arnold discusses critical technical levels and trading strategies for the current market conditions.

Is this market setting up for another selloff… or a surprise reversal? Mike Arnold of Path Trading Partners returns to the Futures Edge for his monthly segment to break down the critical technical levels driving the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Russell, crude oil, gold, Bitcoin, Amazon, Google, and more. If you trade futures, stocks, ETFs, or options, this is the chart-focused analysis you need before making your next move. He explains why the market is still in “choppy bearish mode,” what needs to happen to flip bullish, and the exact support and resistance levels traders should be watching right now. The conversation also digs into how to trade around major headlines, why cash is a position, and why forcing trades in uncertain markets can be the fastest way to lose money.
