📊 Market Compass: ETFs I Watch to Read the Market
When I’m trying to understand what the overall market is doing, I usually start with a few big ETFs before looking at individual stocks. Some of the main ones I watch: • SPY – tracks the S&P 500 (broad market health) • QQQ – tracks the Nasdaq (tech/growth sentiment) • DIA – tracks the Dow (large, established companies) • IWM – tracks small caps (risk appetite) • XLF – financial sector (banks, economic expectations) • XLK – technology sector (growth strength) These help answer simple questions like: Is the whole market moving together?Is money flowing into growth or safety?Are small caps participating or lagging? Before getting lost in individual charts, I like seeing what these are doing first. If you follow any of these (or others), drop which one you watch most and why 👇 (Educational discussion only.)

☀️ Morning Market Check-In 1/29
Hope everyone’s morning is off to a good start! Markets are opening with some early movement, and today looks like one of those sessions where it’s worth slowing down and watching how price behaves, not just where it opens. After the recent momentum, I’m personally paying attention to: • whether buyers step in again or fade • how price reacts near recent highs/lows • which sectors show real strength vs quick pops Early action sets the tone, but the story usually gets clearer after the first hour. If you’re following something today, drop it below and share what you’re seeing 👇
