In this KE Report Daily Editorial (August 1st), we’re joined by Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to unpack a tough end to the week for markets.

Markets sold off sharply on Friday, driven by a combination of renewed tariff worries and weak jobs data. Joel breaks down the technical damage, discusses the break of key support levels, and explores whether this is simply a short-term pullback or something more significant.

Key Discussion Highlights:

Tariff deadline and soft jobs data spark a sharp risk-off move across equities.
Tech leadership falters, with names like Apple breaking down below multi-week ranges.
Joel highlights a shift in sentiment from a “Goldilocks market” to growing caution.
VIX, bonds, and gold rise, while small caps underperform - signs of broad defensiveness.
Rotation into value and dividend-paying stocks like utilities and healthcare names.
Technical signs of complacency peaking in July, with low realized volatility and narrow breadth.
What could come next: tariff negotiations, inflation data, and potential August seasonality pressure.

Joel also shares why investors should zoom out and maintain perspective after a strong run from April’s lows, rather than focusing solely on the recent pullback from all-time highs.
