Active Investing Edge Mentoring for July 23, 2026

---

Video Summary:

In this MarketGauge mentoring session, the host breaks down a gap-down opening driven by rising crude, weaker bonds, and poor reactions to earnings, especially Google. He walks through the major indexes, ETFs, and sectors to show how to read opening ranges, moving averages, VWAP, and relative strength in real time. A major focus is on MarketGauge-style discipline: wait for confirmation, tighten stops, and avoid buying dips until the market proves a floor. The session also highlights rotation into industrials, defense, energy, utilities, and select semis and drugs, showing how traders can build watchlists around strong charts even during broad market pressure.
