Last week’s Top Pick of the Week (TPOW) was UBER Technologies Inc. (UBER), selected for its strong momentum and high SCTR rating, consistent with the Above the Green Line strategy focused on breakout setups with strength and volume. UBER opened the week on Monday, July 21, 2025, at $90.85 and closed on Friday, July 25, 2025, at $91.30, producing a modest gain of $0.45 per share, or +0.50%. While not a large move, the trade remained in positive territory and held above technical support, making it a successful follow-through in a solid market environment.
Market Recap – Week Ending July 25, 2025
Despite early-week hesitation, the markets ended on a strong note. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) opened at $628.77 on Monday and closed the week at $637.10, gaining +1.33%. Large-cap tech and industrials led the charge, lifting the S&P 500 to new short-term highs. Economic data released mid-week showed resilience in consumer spending and a softening inflation trend, which fueled optimism that the Fed may pause future rate hikes.
Overall market breadth improved, and sentiment turned slightly more bullish by Friday’s close. Volatility, as measured by the VIX, stayed contained in the low teens—another sign of market confidence. With indexes pushing higher, the technical outlook remains constructive as long as key support levels hold.
Looking Ahead
UBER continues to demonstrate relative strength and remains on the watchlist for a potential re-entry should volume and breakout levels confirm. While the gain this week was modest, the trade followed the rules of the TPOW system—trading strength, managing risk, and staying disciplined. These consistent gains, even small ones, add up over time and build momentum.
