A winning week — but the tape still looks wobbly

The numbers were green across the board: S&P 500 up 0.9%, Nasdaq up 2.4%, Dow Jones up 0.7%. Technology (+3.6%) and Industrials (+2.7%) led the charge. But the fine print is the part traders hate — long-term trend intact, short-term momentum mixed, resistance at 7,620, support at 7,240.3. Sentiment didn't help the mood either: CNN Fear & Greed sitting at 37/100, VIX cooling to 16.4.

Gobble's Take: The setup means nothing if the stage is on fire. Read the room first.
