Heading into today’s open, the Nasdaq Composite (QQQ) closed yesterday at $704.54, down -0.60%, while the SPY finished at $757.39, a decline of -0.36%. The VIX currently registers at 16.90-17.07, within its recent 13.80-20.88 range, as investors assess persistent inflation alongside a 5.00% 10-Year Treasury Yield.
This week we’re leaning into Energy (XLE) and Healthcare/Defensive (XLV). XLE stands out with +5.3% one-month momentum, trading above its 50-day trend and benefiting from a macro environment favoring commodities. We also favor XLV, exhibiting +0.4% one-month momentum – also above the 50-day – offering defensive characteristics in a potentially volatile market.
Last week’s sectors presented a mixed bag. Financials (XLF) lagged with a return of -2.01%, while Healthcare/Defensive (XLV) softened to -0.14%. Gold (GLD) managed a positive return of +0.35%, demonstrating resilience as a safe haven asset, but underperforming our current picks.

TradeWise Club was born from a simple frustration: working professionals shouldn't have to choose between their careers and the market. Earnings move overnight, sectors rotate intraday, drawdowns happen in minutes. Reacting to that has traditionally meant sitting in front of a screen all day. Most people can't. Most who try end up losing more to bad timing than they ever gain from being "in the market."
TradeWise Club closes that gap. It's an automated, methodology-driven system that monitors the market continuously and generates daily stock recommendations grounded in a comprehensive multi-factor framework. For deployed capital, it executes trades that capture upside while protecting against the downside. The goal is simple: capture meaningful returns without requiring constant screen time.
