Bullish vs. Bearish Clash: Energy Rallies on Oil Spike While Tech & Retail Weigh on Major Indices

Bullish vs. Bearish Clash: Energy Rallies on Oil Spike While Tech & Retail Weigh on Major Indices

As of February 19, 2026 (midday trading in the US, around PST morning hours), the stock market is showing mildly bearish pressure overall, with major indices pulling back after solid gains the previous day (Wednesday).Current Market Snapshot

  • Major Indices: Down modestly in recent trading.
    • Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down approximately 0.4–0.6% (around 200–300 points lower from prior close near 49,663).
    • S&P 500: Down about 0.3–0.4% (hovering near 6,850–6,880 after closing at 6,881 yesterday).
    • Nasdaq Composite: Down around 0.2–0.4%, with tech under some pressure.
  • This follows three straight days of gains earlier in the week, but today marks a reversal amid mixed influences.

Key Drivers and What’s Bearish

  • Geopolitical tensions (U.S.-Iran): Escalating concerns are driving oil prices sharply higher (up ~1.5–2%, to around $66+ per barrel, highest since last summer). This raises inflation fears and acts as a headwind for equities, as higher energy costs can squeeze consumer spending and corporate margins.
  • Earnings reactions: Walmart reported solid Q4 results (beat on revenue and EPS slightly), but its full-year outlook disappointed (lower-than-expected EPS guidance), weighing on consumer/retail sentiment. Shares are marginally lower or mixed. Other earnings (e.g., some misses or cautious guidance) are contributing to caution.
  • Fed/policy uncertainty: Recent FOMC minutes highlighted division, with some officials open to pausing or limiting rate cuts if inflation persists. This tempers aggressive rate-cut bets, supporting higher Treasury yields (10-year near 4.1%) and pressuring growth stocks.
  • Broader sentiment: Individual investor bullishness has slipped (AAII survey shows lower bulls, higher neutrals), and volatility feels elevated despite low VIX readings.

These factors create bearish pressure today, particularly on rate-sensitive and consumer-facing areas, with risk-off flows evident.What’s Bullish or Holding Up

  • Energy and commodities: Oil surge benefits energy stocks and related sectors (materials also got a lift earlier this week from commodity strength).
  • Tech/AI resilience: Despite today’s dip, big names like Nvidia and others in AI/tech led Wednesday’s rebound. Some analysts remain bullish on select names heading into earnings seasons.
  • Underlying economy: Recent data (e.g., manufacturing up, housing starts strong) shows resilience, supporting pro-cyclical and commodity-oriented themes.
  • Yesterday’s close was positive (S&P +0.6%, Nasdaq +0.8%), driven by AI confidence and select sectors shrugging off worries.

Overall, the market feels range-bound/consolidating with seasonal February weakness in play, near-term downside risks from geopolitics and Fed caution, but no major breakdown yet (S&P still near recent highs around 6,900–7,000 resistance). Traders are watching Walmart/earnings fallout, oil moves, and any Iran developments closely. If you’re focused on specific sectors, stocks, or crypto (e.g., Bitcoin around $68k, slightly soft), let me know for more targeted details!

Mastering the Markets: Weekly Insights on Options and Futures Trading $NVDA $TSLA #TradingTips #RiskManagement #OptionsTrading #Futures

Welcome to the latest edition of “Mastering the Markets,” your go-to weekly blog for all things related to options and futures trading. At SeekingOptions, we are dedicated to helping our members become disciplined traders with a strong focus on risk management. In this post, we’ll dive into the latest market trends, share expert tips, and provide actionable strategies to enhance your trading game. Let’s get started! #TradingTips #RiskManagement

Market Recap: The Week That Was

This week saw significant movements in both the options and futures markets. Here’s a quick recap:

  1. Options Market: The options market experienced heightened volatility due to geopolitical tensions and economic data releases. Traders saw increased premiums on both calls and puts, making it a lucrative week for those who played their cards right. #OptionsTrading
  2. Futures Market: The futures market was equally dynamic, with commodities like gold and crude oil showing significant price swings. The S&P 500 futures also saw a roller-coaster ride, reflecting the broader market sentiment. #Futures

Expert Tips: Staying Disciplined in Volatile Markets

Volatility can be both an opportunity and a risk. Here are some expert tips to help you stay disciplined:

  1. Stick to Your Trading Plan: It’s easy to get swayed by market movements, but sticking to your pre-defined trading plan is crucial. This includes setting entry and exit points, stop-loss levels, and position sizes. #Discipline
  2. Use Stop-Loss Orders: Always use stop-loss orders to protect your capital. This ensures that you exit a losing trade before it can do significant damage to your portfolio. #RiskManagement
  3. Diversify Your Portfolio: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversifying your trades across different assets can help mitigate risk. #Diversification

Strategy Spotlight: The Iron Condor

One of the most popular strategies among options traders is the Iron Condor. Here’s a quick overview:

  • What is it?: The Iron Condor is a neutral strategy that involves selling an out-of-the-money call and put, while simultaneously buying a further out-of-the-money call and put.
  • Why use it?: This strategy allows you to profit from low volatility, as it benefits from the premiums collected from selling the options.
  • Risk Management: The maximum loss is limited to the difference between the strike prices of the calls or puts, minus the net premium received. #IronCondor #OptionsStrategy

Risk Management: The Cornerstone of Successful Trading

At SeekingOptions, we believe that risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Here are some key principles to keep in mind:

  1. Position Sizing: Never risk more than a small percentage of your trading capital on a single trade. This helps in managing losses and preserving capital for future opportunities. #PositionSizing
  2. Leverage Wisely: While leverage can amplify gains, it can also magnify losses. Use leverage cautiously and understand the risks involved. #Leverage
  3. Continuous Learning: The markets are constantly evolving, and so should your trading strategies. Stay updated with the latest trends, tools, and techniques to stay ahead of the curve. #ContinuousLearning

Tip of the Day

“Always Review Your Trades”: At the end of each trading day, take some time to review your trades. Analyze what went well and what didn’t. This practice helps in identifying patterns, refining strategies, and improving your decision-making process. Remember, every trade is a learning opportunity. #TradingTip #DailyReview

Next move on Micron | $MU

Next move on Micron | $MU

We have been trading $MU, and its been one of our major stocks that we look for higher prices,  looking for this slippery wave count on the 15 minutes chart on A6M shown at chart below:

the 5th wave points to the 3.618 extension at 67 area, in case we see 65.96 should be good to reduce. The subdivisions on A5M

have the 2.618 extension at 67.70. Joel has the top of the daily cian channel at 70. Necessary support to hold on the micro  is 60.46/60.03 right now. Going deeper into the monthly counts on A4M

 

$MU been in a 3rd wave that has for ideal target the 2.618 at 93.65, we can see that 1.618 on this monthly count is at 66.17, this is the reason MU been experiencing all this consolidation. This monthly approach has not opposition with others macro counts like the ones on A3M :

that has a limitation at 75.69, being this number the 6.854 extension in this count.

All in all based on analysis and our approach MU has potential to go to 75.69 with solid resistance at 76.06. Once/if MU hits these levels I will update support between 61.83 and 53.82, being the average at 57.82. We are afar from that yet.

We could trade the 75 levels with options, but don’t think that we should use the regular exposure of shares chasing that area.

Have a nice week

We have few trades placed taken in our chat room, also please note that earning is on June 20 

S&P500 next near term Target 2770+ ?? | More $SPX, $SPY, long Trades- $NVDA, $MU, INTC, $AMZN, $GOOGL #fintwit, #Bitcoin #Trading

S&P500 next near term Target 2770+ ?? | More $SPX, $SPY, long Trades- $NVDA, $MU, INTC, $AMZN, $GOOGL #fintwit, #Bitcoin #Trading

Quick market recap for May 29, 2018 ahead of the market open, we have tested 2690 on the $ES_F due to news from overseas from Italy, and possible downgrade to junk. After all this is not the worst for investors as this could mean ECB will not stop their Quantitative Easing (QE). In this week, traders will be keeping an eye on several upcoming economic events, including gross domestic product data on May 30, jobless claims on May 31 and employment data on June 1. The market will also be keeping a close eye on the evolving political situation in both Europe and the United States. Leaving all the FunDamentals Aside, lets get back to technical charts..

We spoke previously on the importance testing a low before resuming higher, and technically we did have that low this morning as we hit 2690. With that said the low has to hold before making a new high and possible target of 2770 and we can project to 2780 on $SPX. – as am writing this update market is trading over 2700. 

CURRENT STRATEGY

As for the stock market, we still like the patterns in individual stocks and the stock indices are not bad either, having positions in $MU, $NVDA, $INTC, etc. They can only base laterally so long. Some did make moves on the back half of the week, including some chips, software, tech, drugs. $NFLX as well. We will see if those can continue upside this week as we let our other positions work. Therefore as long as 2700 area holds, we will be looking to add our Bullish plays on $SPY or $SPX via short term calls June or even July, once we break above 2740 with a stop at 2720.

Trade of the Week will be another winner this week with 54.55% profit bringing our portfolio profit to 57% YTD 

Please review the following Daily $ES_F chart for details that may impact our trading setup, this chart will be updated closely in the chat room

Market Low May hold for now? next Target 2757-2770 on $SPX | $SPY, long Trades- $NVDA, $AAPL, $AMZN, $GOOGL #fintwit, #Bitcoin #Trading

While we have a bearish approach, we consider that probabilities for more downside are unlikely while market holds 2700 level, looking the following chart ,

SPX Next Move

as long as 2700 area holds, we will be looking to add our Bullish plays on $SPY or $SPX via short term calls June or even July, once we break above 2740 with a stop at 2720.

Having said that we should still look at some counts that need to be negated to continue with our Bullish Play.

$ES_F As it stands right now from EW Respective, Weekly Momentum is Bearish as last week might have signaled the high, we need to view market as consolidating for next 2 weeks. Daily Market looks more Bullish constructive with Daily Low is in.

Key Resistance area for each index the 78.6% Fib Ret. and the 100% APP of the April 2- April 18 advance. This Should be the Maximum upside if the index are making a complex correction (Potential W-X-Y) as anticipated. Each Index reached or came within just a few ports of these major resistance zones last week. Any continued upside should be monitored yet we are also watching volume.

Key Resistance area on $ES_F : 2744-2761 on $SPX, 2746-2761

Note: To confirm any Bearish play we need to break 2700 and close below 2670

Stock Market Updates for May 9, 2018 | $SPX, $AAPL, $ES_F, $TWTR, $FB, $GOOGL, $ANET

Stock Market Updates for May 9, 2018 | $SPX, $AAPL, $ES_F, $TWTR, $FB, $GOOGL, $ANET

The markets posted solid gains to start the week off yesterday. While they closed off of their highs, it was a great continuation of the rally that began late last week and extended into this week, we are currently looking at the Elliote Wave Counts that we described in the following Video

Last week’s impressive employment numbers sent stocks soaring on Friday. And Apple’s continued rally on better than expected earnings and word that Warren Buffett bet heavily on Apple shares helped ignite a tech rally, we still think $AAPL has higher prices, look for today’s video will be sent out shortly. We think $AAPL could see prices beyond 220 dollars

Are we getting close to end the three month long correction in the stock market, if so we could be setup to break out of the wedge, we are trading it mechanically. On $SPX right now we completed 4/5 and right now we looking for wave 5  around 2684-2693. For another entry setup to get us to 2710, which would still give us another entry for higher prices, again wait for the the updated video and charts..

We took $ANET long positions and we have been trailing our longs
