Market Review for Feb 3rd 2026

Shared by Stephen • February 04, 2026

Hi there,

Yesterday, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Wall Street faced a significant pullback as a sudden spike in Treasury yields and a broad sell-off in software and fintech stocks weighed on the major indices.

🚀 Stock Trade Exit: Alaska Air Group (ALK)

We have officially exited our short-term position in Alaska Airlines, realizing a 14.12% gain over the last 4 months. While the trade took longer than initially expected, it was a fantastic lesson in trusting value fundamentals and remaining patient. Congratulations to everyone who followed this trade!

🏆 Active Trade Tracker

We added two new S&P 500 trades yesterday, and we couldn’t have timed our entries any better. These trades had a 96% probability of profit, and we have gone straight into the green as the market bounced off its intraday lows.

  • New Trades: Sold the Feb 27th 640 Put (IBKR) and the Feb 27th 6400 Put (IG Index).
  • Current Performance: Up 1.46% tax-free in our IG Index account and 0.62% in our IBKR account. We will continue to hold these to expiry.

📋 Long-Term Buy Watchlist Update

Yesterday’s sell-off provided a great opportunity as several of our targets became "cheaper."

  • DELL & NVDA: After yesterday’s dip, both stocks are looking very attractive. We anticipate adding these to our long-term buy-and-hold portfolio in the coming days.
  • Wait & See: For CRM, PYPL, and ORCL, we are still waiting for them to stop making lower lows and begin a period of consolidation before we move.

📅 Market Review for Tuesday February 3, 2026

Overview: The Nasdaq suffered its worst daily percentage decline in weeks as software names tumbled. Concerns over AI-driven automation disrupting traditional software business models (following news from Anthropic) and a multi-month high in the 10-year Treasury yield created a perfect storm for growth stocks.

🏛️ FX & Crypto Review

  • EUR/USD: Slipped to 1.1810 as the US Dollar strengthened on rising yields.
  • Bitcoin (BTC): Faced selling pressure, dropping to $77,450.
  • XRP: Retreated slightly but held support near $1.81.

📈 Major Indices & Commodities

  • S&P 500: Fell -0.84%, closing at 6,917.38.
  • Nasdaq Composite: Tumbled -1.43%, finishing at 23,255.91.
  • Dow Jones Industrial Average: Slipped -0.34%, closing at 49,240.99.
  • Gold: Rose to $4,973 per ounce as geopolitical fears in the Middle East returned.
  • Silver: Gained significantly to settle near $88.50 per ounce.
  • WTI Crude Oil: Jumped over 2% to $63.80 per barrel.

📊 Specific Stock Performance (Verified Closing Prices)

  • GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): Down -1.16% ($339.71). Pulled back from its all-time high ahead of today's earnings report.
  • NVDA (Nvidia): Down -2.84% ($180.34). Watchlist: One of the tech laggards yesterday; we are watching for a entry point this week.
  • DELL (Dell Technologies): Down -1.69% ($117.15). Watchlist: Holding its ground better than the high-beta software names.
  • PYPL (PayPal): Down -20.11% ($42.10). Watchlist: Suffered a massive crash following a disappointing earnings outlook.
  • CRM (Salesforce): Down -6.98% ($284.40). Watchlist: Hit hard by the broader software sector rout.
