✅✅✅Week Ending November 6, 2026 The Modified Dow Theory for US Equities closed the week 0.96% above its SELL trigger, signaling a continuing primary uptrend under my system. The Dow Jones US Total Market confirmation stands at +0.37%. Last week, the MDT was 2.54% above, while confirmation stood at +3.25%. The domestic MDT’s cushion above its trigger narrowed by 1.58 percentage points this week. That measures the change in its distance above the trend line, not an investment return. By comparison, the International MDT, which includes European, Asian and South American indicators, is now 2.12% below its buy trigger, while its confirmation is 1.69% below. Under my system, it is now in a confirmed primary downtrend. What Happens After a Sell Signal? While I do not invest internationally, this is a good time to review the rules. Once a downtrend is confirmed, investors following this approach may sell and move to cash while awaiting a new signal. Selling within tax advantaged accounts generally does not create an immediate capital gains tax bill. Investors using taxable accounts need to consider any realized gains and other tax consequences. Some longer term investors instead use declines to add to their positions over time. That is a separate investment choice, not a requirement of the MDT signal, and prices can continue falling. Next comes the question of whipsaws. It is not unusual for the market to rebound quickly after a sell signal. To help manage that, we place support and resistance lines 5% below and above the MDT’s closing value when the signal occurs. We then set aside the weekly trend line we normally follow. A break below support provides additional confirmation that the trend has changed. We remove the support line, and normally the resistance line, and return to watching the original trend line for a new buy signal. A break above resistance instead identifies the sell signal as a whipsaw under this approach and puts us back in a primary uptrend. We remove both lines, and we’re back in action. There can be plenty of bouncing around between these two lines while the market sorts itself out. In the old days, we simply took the signal without these guardrails, but that created too much chop and lost profits. That is why I modified the approach. Over the years, I have found the MDT useful for staying focused on the primary trend. But trends do not follow a fixed timetable. Some last years; others reverse within weeks. The guardrails help manage that uncertainty, but no system eliminates false signals or losses. Traditional Dow Theory: Both Averages Lost Ground This Week The Dow Industrials closed at 51291.14, down 0.93% on the week and approximately 1.11% above its primary trend line. The Dow Transports closed at 19774.87, down 2.73% and approximately 3.92% below the week line. Both averages declined, with the Transports showing greater weakness. The Industrials remain above while the Transports remain below, a divergence worth watching, but not a Traditional Dow Theory sell signal on its own. Perspective: November has been garbage so far, but one week does not tell us how the month will end. We need to watch how the rest of November unfolds rather than assume year end strength will arrive on schedule. AI infrastructure spending and the direction of congressional regulation are also worth watching. Changes in either could affect earnings expectations and investor sentiment. During President Trump’s first term, the midterm elections were in 2018. Stocks fell sharply late that year, bottomed around Christmas Eve, and then rebounded into January 2019. There may be some echoes of that period today, but a historical rhyme is not a forecast. We will have to see how next week unfolds for the domestic MDT. My suspicion is that any new downtrend signal could prove short lived, but that is an opinion, not a guarantee. Returns in 2027 could be below average, and a recession would add further risk. However, stocks can have a down year without a recession. The MDT does not predict recessions or guarantee advance warning; it helps us recognize changes in the primary market trend and respond according to our rules. The basic approach remains simple: watch the signals, respect the guardrails, and let the market show us what comes next. Have a Great Week.

I know posts like this aren’t getting much engagement right now, but I’m going to keep writing them. I would love to spend more time discussing genuine progress and positive news. Instead, we are watching much of what a handful of people warned about 2 years ago unfold around us. Dismissing those warnings was convenient when acknowledging them would have interfered with someone’s revenue. I judge progress by how much more capable, informed and independent it makes ordinary people. Technology should help us understand what we are using, control what belongs to us and challenge the decisions that affect our lives. When convenience requires surrendering more of that control to institutions we cannot meaningfully examine, we should be asking who actually benefits from the arrangement. In crypto, self-custody is a practical expression of that freedom. For experienced users, centralised exchanges should have little justification beyond narrow, temporary functions such as converting fiat or sell assets. Leaving assets there indefinitely makes your financial security dependent on someone else’s competence, solvency and honesty. An industry capable of giving people direct control over their assets should be working to reduce that dependence. But responsibility does not disappear when the keys become yours. A wallet cannot recognise a convincing lie on your behalf, and a malicious approval can undermine everything you thought you had secured. Understand what you sign, question where you connect and investigate whoever asks for your trust. Examine their incentives, verify their claims and establish who absorbs the consequences when they are wrong. Apply that discipline especially to people you like. AI makes this more urgent because convincing deception can increasingly be produced cheaply and at scale. Fabricated voices, impersonation and automated manipulation place a growing burden on the person trying to establish what is real. The same capabilities that expand our ability to build also expand an attacker’s reach. Some of those capabilities cannot simply be withdrawn once the consequences become uncomfortable, while the companies collecting the revenue have little reason to bear the full cost of protecting everyone exposed to them. That concentration of capability becomes even more dangerous alongside political power that resists scrutiny. This is where my concern extends to Trump, autocrats and billionaires willing to finance fascist politics while marketing themselves as defenders of freedom. Their commitment to freedom should be judged by whether they protect our ability to investigate them, challenge them in court and remove them from power. Democracy and free inquiry give societies ways to discover mistakes and correct them; punishing dissent makes those mistakes harder to expose and more expensive to resolve. The coming weeks may bring some stability, but a recovery in prices will leave these underlying problems intact. Lasting progress requires people who can think, build and disagree without intimidation, and serious efforts to end wars so that entire populations have a future beyond surviving someone else’s ambitions. I want reasons to be optimistic, and I want us to support the people creating them. Security should not have to beg for funding while paid shillers and professional extractors collect fortunes. Our money, attention and loyalty help determine what gets built and who gains power. If we keep rewarding dependence and excusing abuse whenever it benefits our portfolio or our preferred leader, we are helping dismantle the freedom we claim to value.

I’m at rock bottom financially, and I’m not ashamed to say it. I’ve always been honest with you, and that includes admitting when I’m struggling, even in a space that treats honesty about hardship as weakness. What hurts is wondering whether I’ve failed to make this sustainable, whether I was naive to believe my work would receive enough support, and whether putting so much into building solutions was the wrong decision. I can no longer carry it on my own. I’m sorry to those reading another appeal, but the situation has become unsustainable. After my cancer diagnosis, followed by multiple sclerosis, I hoped to gradually earn a living through Web3 work that would be more manageable physically. I still have a regular job and build MASTR in my spare time. I made mistakes, invested more time and money than I could afford and overextended myself. Over 3 years, I’ve helped thousands of people, handled thousands of scans and requests, investigated scams and built apps and a public crypto wiki. Everything I’ve learned about token scans, wallet connections and tracing onchain money flows has gone into MASTRtrade and its scan bot. I offered my services for free. Since asking for fair compensation, almost nothing has come in. My attempts to find backing in this industry have repeatedly gone nowhere. Sometimes it feels like the work I do makes me inconvenient to support. I’ve never accepted money to shill tokens, despite receiving offers every day. I would rather ask openly for help than earn money through the shady practices I’ve spent years exposing. I want to remain independent. I still have serious plans for MASTR, but I need financial support soon to continue. Being forced to stop while the casino or the scammers keeps attracting money in millions would hurt more than I can explain. If my work has helped you, please consider donating or booking a paid investigation. Your support helps cover research time, data, hosting and development while reducing the burden on my family. Small contributions matter too. If you cannot donate, sharing this or referring paid work helps. To everyone who has already supported me, thank you.
