The week ended November 6 with a clear split in the daily charts. From the completed October 30 close to the completed November 6 close, SPY fell 2.70% and QQQ fell 4.98%. These are ETF close-to-close price returns, excluding distributions. They are separate from any historical comparison of the S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 indexes, and the prices alone do not explain why the week unfolded that way.
The two chart tests
SPY closed Friday at $735.29, below its $765.68 50-day simple average but above its $730.38 200-day average. QQQ closed at $656.10, below its $720.97 50-day and $680.89 200-day averages; it was a second consecutive daily close below the longer line. That leaves different tests for the next completed sessions. For QQQ, a daily retest and close above the 200-day would be evidence of a reclaim. For SPY, a close below its 200-day would weaken the current longer-average position. Neither line is a forecast or guaranteed floor.

A Friday rebound did not erase the week
AMD gained 11.04% from Thursday's close to Friday's close, yet finished the October 30–November 6 week 11.05% lower. The two periods answer different questions: the first describes one session's rebound, while the second retains the preceding decline. Read the dated AMD review. On the other side of Friday's qualifying watchlist, TEAM fell 16.15% in the completed session even as its reported quarter showed cloud revenue growth. Read the Atlassian Stock of the Day. Earnings growth does not guarantee immediate price recovery; price action does not establish a single cause.
The November 6 written Movers board retains the full qualifying-watchlist Top 5 Up and Top 5 Down and ten dated charts. Its rankings describe that screened watchlist, not the whole market.
Two business checks before the next reports
monday.com Stock of the Day puts its latest reported Q2 revenue growth beside operating cash flow and a November 6 close below its 50-day average. The issuer confirms a November 9 Q3 report date, but the results-release session is unspecified; no Q3 figures are assumed. Barrick versus Franco-Nevada compares a mine operator with a royalty and streaming holder, rather than treating their absolute revenue or cash flow as a simple winner. IAMGOLD's announced partial Côté Gold royalty buyback remains pending, not completed. Both case studies use Q2 issuer figures and November 6 completed price charts.
The issuer-confirmed earnings list
The November 9–13 Earnings Week board has 15 selected company-confirmed dates, not every market report. Barrick is scheduled for Monday before the open. monday.com's Monday date is confirmed while its release session is unspecified. Franco-Nevada is scheduled for Wednesday after the close. The selected board currently has no issuer-confirmed Friday name. Schedules may change, and none of next week's results is known yet. The short video walk-through places each company's November 6 chart beside its dated reporting question.
A tool, with its limits in view
I released the free YTP Zones TradingView indicator with its method visible. In my six-symbol historical search, QQQ's zones beat random decoy levels on most tested rules in both periods. None of the tested rule sets beat holding in aggregate, and the four individual stocks gave mixed results. The searched rules and held-out period are reported separately. A forward paper log begins with the next regular session and has no decided tests yet. That is a way to keep future claims accountable, not a trade signal.
Finally, the AI Debt weekly review found three of seven tracked shares rose for the completed week and four fell. The matched eight-company-bond comparison stayed unscored because fresh, independently verified last-trade records were unavailable; an older bond trade was not passed off as Friday's price. The Adobe and Qualcomm Recovery Watch likewise keeps earnings, valuation and price behavior separate.
