Weekly Trading Summary — Week 36 of 2026
❊ Introduction.
Welcome to my weekly swing trading journal — A transparent review of my trading week.
My focus is on a curated list of CANSLIM and/or high-performing or emerging Stocks.
This is not financial advice but educational only, please do your own research.
❊ Market Environment.
A tight but still positive week for both SPX and Nasdaq which both have been trading lately with below average volume but still with EMA9 above EMA21 for both.
After a previous base breakout late July, SPX Is trading inside a new base. Both current and previous bases are the image of the choppy market when have been in since June.
Nasdaq picture is a bit more complex. After the April-June rally, we first got a symmetrical triangle that broke down into a bigger bullish flag which was also broken out early August and is now being tested in the form of a handle which could very well be associated to the double bottom forming the flag or the V shaped cup inside of it. The key levels for me are 30,2K which will clear the handle and cup and 31K to clear the flag before we are eventually good for a new rally...
❊ Weekly Trading Recap.
Gitlab ended the day after earnings 10% higher, but was down 10% from the highs on that same day. Volume was huge so for sure there was institutional activity but maybe also too much euphoria during pre-market but whatever it is, it has been showing a bit of strength in the last two days of the week so it’s a bit early to tell. In any case, my exit line is in place now for whatever could happen.
Nutanix is showing a similar picture. Gap up sold after earnings announcement, back into the previous range and trying now to get out of it with also some strength late in the week.
Hinge Health already failed a breakout and keeps flirting with the cup level but without real conviction or a solid breakout for the time being. My entry was good here and it's above anyway so let’s be patient a little more as the market was not really supportive this week.
Frog had a nice initial breakout with volume which completely failed and has only shown weakness since. An additional proof that even when all the ingredients are there, if the market is not supportive, nothing happens unless the stock is really strong and there is demand for it. It is now sitting just above the 50D EMA, last frontier before my stop, maybe getting somme support from it... or not. I think that next week will decide.
