It’s a loaded week of jobs, inflation and retail sales. Plus, Walmart stock is navigating a fresh breakout. The Daily Breakdown dives in.<\/p>\n

What’s Happening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Markets ended last week on a rough note. The S&P 500<\/a> fell 1.1%, the Nasdaq 100<\/a> dropped nearly 2%, and Bitcoin<\/a> slipped 2.4%. Despite the Fed cutting interest rates and striking a neutral tone \u2014 neither overly dovish nor hawkish \u2014 risk-on assets still pulled back. The question now: can markets find their footing in the final full trading week of 2025?<\/span><\/p>\n

Economic Data Is Back<\/b><\/h4>\n

The record-long U.S. government shutdown halted much of the country\u2019s economic reporting, and even after reopening, data releases were still delayed. Now, the backlog is finally clearing. Tomorrow brings the October retail sales and the November jobs reports, offering a much-needed look at consumer strength and labor-market health. Later in the week, investors will get key inflation updates with the November CPI on Thursday and October PCE on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earnings Trickle In<\/b><\/h4>\n

While earnings season is largely behind us, a handful of notable companies are still set to report. Lennar<\/a> releases results Tuesday, followed by Micron<\/a> on Wednesday. Cintas<\/a>, Nike<\/a>, and FedEx<\/a> report Thursday, with Carnival Cruise<\/a> closing out the week on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Setup \u2014 Walmart<\/span><\/h2>\n

Earlier this year, Walmart<\/a> tried to break out over the $104 level, which had become clear resistance in 2025. However, that breakout quickly failed, as shares retreated back toward $100. However, buyers continued to step in, keeping the upward trend intact as WMT held its 50-week moving average as support. Now, the more recent breakout over $104 has a bit more legitimacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After four straight weeks of gains, WMT stock may need to take a break and digest its latest gains. However, the breakout over $104 is clear, and bulls will look for this prior resistance area to turn into support. If it remains above this level, momentum can remain bullish. Below this level though and momentum can sour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Options<\/b><\/h4>\n

On a dip, buying calls or call spreads may be one way to take advantage of a pullback. For call buyers, it may be advantageous to have adequate time until the option\u2019s expiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those that aren\u2019t feeling so bullish or who are looking for a deeper pullback, puts or put spreads could be one way to take advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Wall Street’s Watching<\/h2>\n

NOW<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Shares of ServiceNow are down about 5% in Monday\u2019s pre-market session following reports that the company is exploring a $7 billion acquisition of cybersecurity startup Armis. With a market cap near $180 billion, ServiceNow could easily absorb the smaller firm, but the deal would be its largest ever. Armis was recently valued around $6.1 billion and has reportedly surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue. <\/span>Dig into the fundamentals for ServiceNow<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Ethereum prices are up about 2.5% this morning as BTC, ETH and other leading cryptocurrencies try to regain momentum after last week\u2019s dip from the highs. ETH briefly climbed above $3,400, but was able to stay above $3,000 on the ensuing pullback. Will it continue to do so this week? <\/span>Check out the chart for ETH<\/span><\/a> and remember, <\/span>ETHA<\/span><\/a> remains the largest Ethereum ETF by assets, while also supporting options trading. <\/span><\/p>\n
