The Most Hated Rally
Markets have seen a strong week, adding to gains from the prior four weeks. Everything I look at would imply this is a regime shift and that bulls are solidly in control and will remain that way.
SPX Breakout Above 7200! Levels, Quant Pivots, and a Friday Options Trade.
The market just did it again. SPX and NDX printed fresh all-time highs, and what looked like a boring range day turned into a breakout. Here I walk through a hypothetical Friday setup if SPX rejects the weekly H1 pivot at 7250, including an example put debit spread trade idea. There are a few other stocks setting up beautifully, including GOOGL, ROST, and energy names in ideal squeezes.
Unbalanced Butterfly Strategies For Earnings Season
It’s the Super Bowl of earnings this week, and today had no shortage of action. Here I walk through real examples using Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Google (GOOGL), and explain why my unbalanced butterfly strategy works when options premiums are inflated and time decay accelerates after earnings.
Overbought Market? Here’s the Smart Way to Trade It (High-Probability Setups)
Everyone’s looking at this market saying “it’s too high, it has to pull back.” But if you trade like that, you’ll get destroyed. I’m going to show you the safest way to trade an overbought market using 78-minute Squeeze setups. Names like Nvidia and Intel are still offering clean high-probability entries, whereas the SPX can stay overbought for weeks. I also cover the semis, Google, Amazon, and more.
WULF Stock Near Highs With Short Squeeze Potential
WULF is setting up for one of the cleanest pre-earnings momentum trades I’ve seen in a while. It has 32.5% short float, strong upside momentum, and it’s approaching new highs. This is the type of setup that often forces short sellers to cover before the earnings report hits (this one is on May 7th). And, guess what? These options are still relatively affordable.
Bulls’ Wildest Dreams
Markets have seen a very strong week, adding to gains from the prior three weeks. The news flow is good and the technicals are even better. Everything I would look at would imply this is a regime shift and that bulls are solidly in control and will remain that way. There is only one technical pattern that might cause them a problem. For now, everything is aligned in the bull camp from the indexes, to credit, to dollar, and oil. The only new thing is reviewing whether semis (which are the most important part of the market) went too far too fast as of today.
SPX Hits New High, Then Flushes 90 Points. Bull Trap Or Breakout Setup?
Here’s why traders should ignore the news headlines and focus on technicals, especially with the put/call ratio dropping into extreme bullish territory. Upside may be limited, with SPX likely to get stuck in a range. Or… is it due for a mild pullback before targeting higher fib extension levels?
SPX Nears Major Fibonacci Target (1% Away). What Next?
Two weeks ago I put you on a bullish path for SPY. I didn’t know it was only going to take 2 weeks, but we’re now only 1% away from our targets, having made a 5% advance from our conversation. This is the kind of precision traders dream about. Now, where does the SPX go next, and how do you trade it without getting chopped up?
First Sell Signal In 15 Trading Days?
This doesn’t mean the market is crashing tomorrow, but it DOES mean the momentum pattern finally broke. When that happens, you tighten stops and start planning for the most likely next move: a pullback into the pocket zone and a test of the 21 EMA.
BETR Stock Could Explode Before Earnings
BETR is flashing a short squeeze setup, with 30% short float and earnings coming up fast. What’s really wild is that it was up 15% on high volume, and the pre-earnings average move is nearly 18%. That’s massive.
