The Take Five Report starts the first section by recapping the performances of the major markets in each region of the world in their previous session, and we'll provide a brief summary of each one. This is then followed by a snapshot of the U.S.' individual sectors performance.
The second section is dedicated to technical analysis. We look at the Volatility Index (VIX) and S&P 500 (SPX). We find the balance of power between bulls and bears and figure out how the market is feeling at that current moment in time.
The third section is dedicated to fundamental analysis. Here, we start by listing the most notable headlines from other outlets and will leave a link to the article. This is followed by a breakdown and analysis of the most important topic regarding the market's dominant force and narrative. This could be an economic report, a major news story, earnings, geopolitical conversations, and more! On occasion, we'll even discuss more theoretical or speculative topics as well and give our thoughts on it.
Lastly, the fourth section is dedicated to the psychology of the market, or "The Why". This is followed by our closing thoughts, which will include a brief update on what is happening with bond yields, oil futures, foreign markets, the VIX, and market indexes in either the premarket or following the opening bell.
