Bull Ring Trading

09/02/2026

🐂 GOOD MORNING, BULL RING! 🐂
TUESDAY — SEPTEMBER 1, 2026

MARKET OUTLOOK
The market is starting September under pressure. Futures are lower as rising oil prices and Treasury yields create concerns about inflation and the path of future Federal Reserve policy. The Nasdaq is seeing the most pressure, particularly in technology and semiconductor names.

Overnight snapshot:
S&P futures about −0.5%
Nasdaq-100 futures about −1.0% to −1.2%
Dow futures about −0.5%
VIX ticking higher toward 16

Monday close: S&P 7,686 (−0.33%), Dow 53,186 (−0.70%), Nasdaq 26,371 (soft). August finished green. September opened heavy.

THE BIG STORY
Oil and bond yields are moving higher.

WTI is near $88. Brent is near $92 after U.S.–Iran tension and tanker hits near the Strait of Hormuz. The 10-year yield is around 4.79%. Japan’s 10-year hit 3%, the highest since 1996.

That combination can put pressure on high-growth stocks, especially the AI and semiconductor trade. Energy stocks may benefit while technology could remain volatile.

TODAY'S MARKET-MOVING EVENTS
10:00 AM ET
* ISM Manufacturing
* JOLTS Job Openings
* Construction Spending

These reports could create volatility because traders are watching closely for clues about the economy, employment, inflation, and the Fed’s next move.

Also on the week: ADP Wednesday. Payrolls Friday.

WHAT I'M WATCHING
AI & SEMICONDUCTORS
* NVDA
* AMD
* MU
* AVGO
* INTC

These names are under pressure in the premarket as higher yields weigh on technology valuations.

ENERGY
* XOM
* CVX
* OXY

Higher crude prices could continue supporting energy names.

TRAVEL / CRUISE
* RCL
* CCL
* NCLH
* VIK

Oil up and yields up is usually a headwind for this group. Carnival and Norwegian already sold off hard Monday.

OTHER TAPE
* HOOD — bid after a Morgan Stanley upgrade
* DELL / PANW — on the earnings calendar

COACH'S GAME PLAN
Bullish: Watch for the market to absorb the early selling and reclaim key intraday levels.
Bearish: If yields and oil continue climbing, expect continued pressure on QQQ and the major tech names.
Most important: Don't chase the opening move. Let the market show its direction, especially around the 10:00 AM economic reports.

🐂 Trade the chart. Respect your levels. Manage your risk.
LET'S HAVE A GREAT DAY IN THE BULL RING! 🔥

🐂 GOOD MORNING, BULL RING! 🐂

MONDAY — AUGUST 31, 2026

MARKET UPDATE

The market is starting the final trading day of August with a cautious, risk-off tone.

U.S. stock futures were lower early Monday as renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran pushed oil prices sharply higher, creating fresh concerns about inflation and interest rates.

WHAT'S MOVING THE MARKET

🛢️ Oil Is the Big Story
Brent crude moved above $90 as geopolitical tensions escalated. Higher energy prices could add to inflation pressures and keep the Fed hawkish.

🏦 The Fed Is Back in Focus
Markets have become increasingly concerned that persistent inflation could lead to another rate hike. The upcoming jobs data will be critical for the market's next major move.

🤖 AI Trade Remains Important
NVIDIA delivered another massive quarter, reporting $96.2 billion in revenue, up 106% year over year. AI remains a major market theme, but expect continued volatility in the big technology names.

THIS WEEK'S BIG EVENTS

Tuesday: Manufacturing PMI and ISM Manufacturing
Thursday: Jobless Claims and Trade Balance
Friday: August Nonfarm Payrolls — the biggest economic event of the week.

BULL RING GAME PLAN

BULLISH: Watch for the market to absorb the geopolitical headlines and reclaim key intraday levels.

BEARISH: Higher oil, rising inflation fears, and rate-hike expectations could create pressure on tech and growth stocks.

MY FOCUS TODAY:
NVDA
AVGO
AMD
MU
MSFT
META
TSLA

COACH'S THOUGHT:
Don't force trades on a headline-driven Monday. Let the market show its hand after the opening volatility. Patience pays.

BULL RING STOCK MARKET UPDATE
Thursday, August 27, 2026

Yesterday the market sat on its hands into Nvidia earnings.

Dow: -114 points (-0.21%) to 53,464
S&P 500: basically flat (-0.02%) to 7,676
Nasdaq: -21 points (-0.08%) to 26,130

That was the calm before the print. ⏳

This morning is a different tape. 📈
Futures are green and tech-led.
Nasdaq futures: about +1.0% to +1.1%
S&P futures: about +0.5%
Dow futures: basically flat

NVDA is the whole story. 🔥
They beat on revenue at $96.2B.
They beat on earnings.
They guided $108B next quarter.
Stock is up about 6% to 8% pre-market.

That bid is spilling into software too.
CRM and CRWD both came in strong after earnings. 💻

Around the rest of the market:
Oil is softer. WTI around $81–$82. Brent around $86–$88 on Middle East headlines. 🛢️
Bitcoin is pushing back toward $80,000. 🚀
The 10-year yield is near 4.66%.

What I’m watching today:
• The opening drive in NVDA, QQQ, and SMH
• Whether this stays a chip rally or spreads into the rest of tech
• Marvell, Workday, Dollar General, and Dollar Tree earnings
• Oil, if Hormuz headlines flip
• The setup into Jackson Hole Friday

Coach’s note:
This is an NVDA tape.
Do not chase the first green candle.
Let the opening range print.
Then trade your levels.

A beat plus a $15 rip does not mean you buy mid-air.
That is how traders turn a good report into a bad fill.

If you trade weeklies, remember this too:
earnings vol comes out of the option fast.
The stock can go up and the contract can still fail you if you bought the wrong strike or held the wrong side of the crush.

BULL RING STOCK MARKET UPDATE
Thursday, August 20, 2026

S&P 500: +16 pts (+0.21%) → 7,708
Nasdaq: +41 pts (+0.16%) → 26,331

Markets snapped a 3-day losing streak after the Treasury announced bigger buybacks on long-term bonds. Yields dropped and risk assets bounced.

This Morning:
Futures are mixed to slightly softer.
Oil is the main driver — Brent pushing toward $94 and WTI around $86–87 following Trump’s “Economic D-Day” announcement against Iran.

Bitcoin is holding above $70,000.

What I’m Watching Today:
8:30 AM – Jobless Claims & Philly Fed
Walmart earnings
Oil reaction to any further Iran headlines
Whether yields start climbing again

Coach Ruben’s Note:
Volatility is back because of oil and geopolitics.
Don’t chase. Wait for your levels.
Stay disciplined.

Alleged Trump insider just opened a $105M Bitcoin long.

Next Wednesday, Trump holds a crypto meeting at the White House.

What does he know?

08/17/2026

$GLD Gold and silver are breaking out while Bitcoin is breaking down.

That’s not a coincidence.

As investors look for alternatives to fiat currency, some are now looking for alternatives to digital fiat too — after more than five years of losing purchasing power.
