Weekly Recap FEB 8, 2026

In partnership with

Hey traders, how’s your weekend going?
If your new here welcome
Lets look at the markets from this week
$DJI ( ▲ 2.47% ) Weekly +2.50% 😁 
$SPY ( ▲ 1.92% ) Weekly -0.20%
$QQQ ( ▲ 2.11% ) Weekly -1.97%
$IWM ( ▲ 3.59% ) Weekly +2.07% 😁 

Before we get started congratulations to the Dow Jones Industrial Average as it crossed north of 50,000 for the first time ever on Friday
A lot happened in the market this week, a lot
Stocks stalled if they didn’t fall
Crypto got hammered
Then came Friday

Do you recall how in the past I shared that it’s universally accepted that on average the stock market will have about 10 days each year that are “Throw a dart at the board” kind of days? Well Friday was one of them
GOOG and META however didn’t fair as well
$META ( ▼ 1.31% ) been telling you guys for over 3 months now, the Market Makers are p——d at “The Zuck” for his “stunt” 3 months ago at earnings, They aren’t forgiving him yet
Most others did well, some did really well actually. Remember our new BFF CASY?

Well it’s “Super Sunday” the “Big Game” is here
The Seattle Seahawks actually played the Patriots in the Big Game back in 2015
If you recall that game went into O.T.
The Pats got an interception at the 1 Yard Line
Unbelievable yes, but the rest is history

Tonight the Seahawks get a “Do - Over” or a “Re-Do”
Call it what you want but it’s a shot at redemption
That’s what Friday offered for many stocks
Yes it’s easier to make money on green days
But days like Friday don’t come every day
And traders / investors should take advantage of them when they can

Rotation, rotation, rotation… The markets saw a lot of if this week
But that was then, this is now, and tomorrow is another day

Here’s how our friends did this week
$AMZN ( ▼ 5.56% ) Weekly -12.11% Earnings miss sank it
$CAT ( ▲ 7.06% ) Weekly +10.47% Boom Shakalaka … The challenge at the moment is that CAT is sitting right at the top of its long term channel. Any new entries should be watched very closely
$CASY ( ▲ 1.21% ) Weekly +9% We reported about CASY here at theoptionscoach.net 3 weeks ago today… It was $595.00 then.. Now it’s $660.00.. That’s an 11% increase in the stock price in only 3 weeks. And that is after the big pull back it had in that time… 
Had that pullback not of happened it would be well up over 25% already ( we’re glad it did though, gave us another entry point) Like I said 3 weeks ago “Meet our new BFF”
$COST ( ▲ 1.2% ) Weekly +6.50%
$GE ( ▲ 4.78% ) Weekly +4.63% It bounced right off of the 20 Day EMA like we were wanting it too didn’t it? 😃 
$GOOG ( ▼ 2.48% ) Weekly -4.56% The good news however is it’s recovered some since its earnings miss
$HD ( ▲ 0.73% ) Weekly +2.82% Lumber… I don’t talk about Futures much here but Lumber Futures keep going into play recently, that has helped HD and $LOW ( ▲ 1.27% ) both, Weekly +4.24%
$JNJ ( ▲ 0.93% ) Weekly +5.60% Remember anytime there’s volatility JNJ and $CPB ( ▲ 0.42% ) are always worth looking at
$JPM ( ▲ 3.95% ) Weekly +5.40% I’m so proud of this one I can’t even see straight….lol…. We kept watching it on the chart didn’t we? And it bounced right where we had our “Point of Control” at… The Options prices were “Fair Valued” this week as well
$NVDA ( ▲ 7.87% ) Weekly -2.90% Yes it closed down but just like JPM it bounced up off of its “Point of Control” or the bottom if its box. We’re still very bullish on NVDA
$WMT ( ▲ 3.34% ) Weekly +10.11% 😁 Yes, WMT went to “Da MOON” this week
It may not be done yet, earnings is on FEB 19, 2026

Well it’s time to get your wings a grillin, beer a chillin and chips and dips
Tonight, may the best team win
See you guys soon
