SPX Squeeze Fired… and Bears Should Be Worried
Most traders get chopped up after a big flush because they confuse a bounce with a real trend change. This video shows you how to trade a “better… but not bullish” market without getting trapped buying too early or shorting too late. You’ll learn the two-close rule above the daily 21 EMA, how to spot when SPX and QQQ are still stuck in the same rejection cycle, and how to drill down into 5/15/30-minute squeeze triggers for clean day trades. This matters long-term because it builds discipline: you stop forcing trades, start waiting for confirmation, and trade the market that’s in front of you — not the one you hope is coming.
Bears May Be Walking Straight Into a Squeeze
Depending on what’s said during the President’s commentary Wednesday night, stocks could be setting up for a good Thursday. Let’s break that down with this one signal that I’m watching for the last day of the week.
Is The Bottom In Or Is This Just A Tease?
As often happens when trading at -3ATR, we got a huge short covering rally today, right back into key resistance. Is this rally going to die quickly, or are new all time highs around the corner?
This Is Bigger Than War
The best trade idea I see continues to be the 570/500 put debit spread on the QQQ for June. If the market has a bounce I am looking for a move up on VRT. Also, in to next week it looks like oil can break above $100 and hold there.
Hunting For A Bounce
The S&Ps continue to get rejected by the daily 8 and while I don’t think the overall move lower is done yet, I do think it’s time for a nice relief bounce.
Know Your Ranges
Bulls came into the day kicking up dirt, but quickly failed right near the expected range of the day. Knowing these ranges is one of the best ways to keep fear and greed at bay. Let’s look at the ranges we came into the day with and one of the trading opportunities it provided.
S&P 500 Bounce Warning: Why Lower Lows May Still Come
In this video, John Carter breaks down why the recent bounce in the market may be tradable, but not enough to signal that the larger downtrend is over. He walks through weakness in the Mag 7, key SPX levels, and the technical signals that suggest traders should stay cautious. You’ll also hear how interest rates, gold, oil, and broader macro pressure are shaping the current environment. It’s a timely market update for traders trying to separate a short-term rally from a true trend reversal.
Bruce’s Cautious SPX Outlook + 1 Bullish Stock Setup
In this video, Bruce Marshall breaks down the market’s wild reversal after overnight selling flipped sharply on geopolitical headlines. Even with the big bounce, he explains why traders should still stay cautious as the SPX remains in a broader downtrend. Bruce also highlights Coherent (COHR) as a bullish stock idea and shares a defined-risk butterfly setup to target a potential move into earnings. It’s a solid look at how to stay defensive in a shaky market while still finding selective trading opportunities.
Extreme Fear Setup: TG Explains What Traders Should Watch
In this video, TG Watkins breaks down the recent market selloff and explains why traders should be careful pressing the short side after such an extended move lower. He covers geopolitical headlines, crude oil strength, weak breadth, and rising fear across the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. TG also highlights why a flush-out move could set the stage for a bounce and where traders may want to start building a watchlist. It’s a practical roadmap for staying patient and preparing for what could come next.
