S&P 500 rises as it wraps up banner week with traders seeing bright side of dismal jobs report:

Live updates

The S&P 500 rose on Friday as traders interpreted an unexpected loss of jobs in July as meaning the Federal Reserve won’t need to raise interest rates soon and can leave monetary policy on hold for now.

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/06/stock-market-today-live-updates.html?__source=androidappshare
#Soloway

The jobs report was a shocker: the economy lost 23,000 jobs against roughly 83,000 expected, a miss of about 100,000. Unemployment actually fell β€” but only because people are leaving the workforce, with participation down 0.7% since January and prior months revised sharply lower. Wage growth is the slowest in years. Markets are surging anyway, because September hike odds just fell below 50% and this market is addicted to cheap money. On today's Trading Game Plan, Gareth Soloway maps the S&P's next resistance, the dollar breakdown nobody is discussing, and the Bitcoin breakout he called.

πŸ“ TODAY'S GAME PLAN

🟒 SPY β€” Riding the breakout toward trend-line resistance near 7,833, about 120 points or 1.5% away. Gareth turns more neutral there; clear it and 8,000 to 8,100 is the next leg.
πŸ”΄ DXY β€” Collapsed on the data and is piercing a major trend line. The kicker: the US sold euros to buy yen in the coordinated intervention, so dumping dollars adds fuel to the decline. Bullish for gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
πŸ”΅ 10-YR YIELD β€” Dropped to 4.6%, reversing the prior day's move. FedWatch now shows 56% odds of no hike at the September 16 meeting.
🟒 BITCOIN β€” Breaking out of its down-sloping wedge exactly like gold did, now above $65K. First resistance near $67K, then $71K and potentially $77K. A big near-term bull, though he still does not think the bear-market bottom is in.
🟒 GOLD β€” Another blast off after the breakout candle and pause day, hitting first resistance near $4,375 off a pivot low and base plate. The first real test of the bull move.
πŸ”΅ SILVER β€” Through the first trend line and into the second. It needs a confirmed daily close above $64 to turn Gareth bullish; until then he is neutral to expecting a pullback.
🟒 TEAM β€” Atlassian rips about 30% after being written off as an AI casualty, from a $57 low yesterday to nearly $150. Day-trade short zone only, up at $167–$176. Structure looks like a cup and handle.
🟒 ABNB β€” Airbnb pops as the AI-kills-booking thesis fails to materialize. Day-trade short at the $170 pivot high, about $9 above price.
πŸ”΄ TTD β€” Missed earnings and revenue, lowered guidance, down about 30% to 2018 levels from $141 in late 2024. Gareth held a small position into the print and is dollar-cost averaging. Day trade near $12. Still profitable with $1.5B cash on a $6B cap, but management fumbled this badly.
🟒 TWLO β€” Big pop with room to run. Gareth would swing short near $275–$276 at the inside pivot.
πŸ”΄ MSFT β€” On his radar as a swing short at the $507–$512 gap fill, lining up with the 0.786 fib retrace from the all-time high.
πŸ”΅ US OIL / NATGAS β€” Oil pulls back, which helps the market. Natural gas catches a solid bid, up about 1.75%, without quite reaching his level.

πŸ”‘ KEY TAKEAWAY: Bad news is good news when rates are the driver. Weak jobs data would normally sink stocks, but lower hike odds mean cheaper money β€” and until that breaks, the market rejoices at weakness.

No B.S. Just Charts.

Gareth #Soloway breaks down the Bitcoin breakout that is currently underway, walking through the down-sloping trend line off the all-time high, the confirmation level that decides whether this move is real, and exactly how high Bitcoin can run in the near term. He also covers Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano, reading each setup on the same technical framework.

On Bitcoin, Gareth explains why price climbing back above the multi-touch trend line is the positive he was waiting for, and why he still needs a daily close above $65,000 to confirm the breakout. He lays out the near-term resistance near $67,000, an upside target between $71,000 and $75,000, and why the same structure can be read as a cup and handle or a head and shoulders. Both point to near-term bullishness.

Gareth also addresses the timeframe question head on. He remains cautious on Bitcoin's larger cycle, with downside risk toward $50,000 or even $35,000 down the line, while playing the near-term bounce because probability favors it. He walks through where the setup fails and why knowing that line lets a trader step aside for a small loss.

On Ethereum, an inverse head and shoulders plus a bull flag. On Solana, a wedge and a possible cup and handle with $100 in view above $75. On XRP, the level to hold near $1.03 for a run toward $1.14 and beyond. On Cardano, the 21 to 22 cent level that decides the next move.
