In this tactical session on Friday, March 13th, the mentor analyzes a complex market environment driven by inflation data, escalating geopolitical tensions, and surging crude oil prices. The discussion focuses on the inverse correlation between crude oil and equity futures, particularly how NASDAQ (NQ) and S&P 500 (SPY) are testing critical levels like the 200-day moving average and rectangle bottoms.
Centered on a "risk-off" theme heading into the weekend, the mentor evaluates the "Trump Put" sentiment and utilizes indicators like Real Motion and the Triple Play to identify defensive leadership in Utilities (XLU) and resilient growth setups in Oracle, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
