Why Energy is Paying MORE Than Bonds Right Now (+ my targets)
Hey there, Blake here. I do have favorite numbers. If you've been in the main room with me, you know I talk about this ad nauseum... 68, 78, 68, 78, 68, 78 for crude. And guess what just happened? Crude's prices have bounced right back into that 68 range. Here's what nobody's talking…
Why I'm Not Worried About This Tech Selloff (But You Should Be Doing THIS)
Hey there, Gianni Di Poce here. Another day of profitable trading. Today I booked a sweet 44% gain on Robinhood when it hit our $95 target. Not bad for the first day of Q3, right? But here's the thing... While everyone's freaking out about the NASDAQ struggling and semiconductors wobbling, I'm seeing something completely different.…
July 9th Deadline Could Trigger Massive Bank Selloff
Hey there, Brandon here. Another all-time high in the S&P... on the last trading day of the quarter. Window dressing? Maybe. But I'm seeing something else entirely. While everyone's celebrating fresh highs, someone just dropped $400,000 on a single bearish bet against Bank of America. 50,000 put contracts. Expiring July 11th. Here's what makes this…
Why Smart Traders Should Sweat These All-Time Highs
Alright, traders – strap in. We are officially out of the volatility box and the complacency trade is on. The VIX is even less relevant than usual; it’s sleeping it off somewhere as we grind and churn our way to new all-time highs. We just cut off trade talks with freakin’ Canada, and the market…
A Quiet Rotation Signals Big Potential
Today we’re digging into a subtle but powerful rotation that's unfolding right under the market’s nose. While tech has driven much of the equity strength this year, the spotlight has now shifted, and industrials, transports, and even miners are quietly stepping up. We're seeing solid price patterns and breakouts across the board: ascending triangles in…
What to Do About This Slow Summer Suckage
So, the S&Ps are flat as a pancake. We’re scraping all-time highs, we’re hugging the edge of the expected move for dear life, but this is like watching paint dry. But beneath the surface suckage there’s real opportunity. When you’re in a market that’s priced for perfection, finding the best setups can be tough, but…
We Just Had Another (Mini) Great Tech Reset
Stocks are ripping higher and flirting with fresh all-time highs, thanks to a surprise ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran that appears, for now, to be holding up. Heading into yesterday’s session, it seemed to me that geopolitical tensions were peaking, and the markets’ setups seemed to agree. Now there’s “room at the table” for…
Here’s What Traders Got Wrong About the Iran-Israel Conflict
Iran and Israel have been at odds for more than 45 years, but about 10 days ago, the long-simmering conflict boiled over massively into barrage after missile barrage between the two countries – thousands of missiles have flown. Over the weekend, the US military entered the fray when it dropped as many as 14 bunker-busters…
Panic Paralysis: Why Stocks Aren’t Budging
At the start of this week, I clocked a 129.03 expected move on the SPX. In a four-day trading week, no less. That’s massive. That’s just shy of absolute mayhem. That’s a trader’s dream. Too bad we didn’t get it. Not even close. Missiles are flying as we speak between Tehran and Tel Aviv and…
Now More Than Ever, It’s Time to Play Defense
There are times when everything just clicks and the bulls run wild and you can safely go long by throwing a dart at a list of big-caps. Right now… isn’t one of those times. To say the situation is dicey is like calling the Grand Canyon a hole in the ground. Bombs are dropping in…
