The Market Quietly Abandoned The Consumer

Every sector turned green today except three. All three are tied to the consumer.

The market clawed back hard off its lows. Almost everything recovered.

Only consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and communications stayed red.

Blake Young flagged why that matters. Staples and discretionary almost never fall together.

Today they fell as one. The market is voting against consumer spending across the board.

That money had to land somewhere. It rushed into industrials, healthcare, and crude.

Healthcare is the standout. Blake called it the hotspot of this market.

He walked through his exact healthcare setups in today’s video. Every one carries a real statistical edge.

Here is what stood out:

  • Amgen is breaking out. Blake laid out a 370/375 call spread for around $1.45 on a $5 wide spread. You only need to be right 29% of the time. His target is 380, with room for a 100% to 200% return.
  • Abbott Labs fell from $138 into the 80s and is now breaking out again. Blake’s put vertical sells the 91 and buys the 90 for a $0.40 credit. You need to be right 60% of the time. The math says 61.5%, a 1.5% edge in your favor.
  • Abbott also works as a simple short put. That pays a 2.74% return on risk in just three weeks. Get assigned before July 15th and you own the stock plus its 2.7% dividend.
  • Healthcare as a sector is breaking to new highs and still paying a 1.68% dividend. Blake’s upside target sits at 160 to 163, the annual highs.

Each setup hands you an edge before you ever place the trade. Blake shows the exact strikes, fills, and targets in the full breakdown.
