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
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
Stocks are chopping around all over the place today, drifting lower overall. The energy sector, as tracked by the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) ETF is absolutely ripping to the upside; it’s up more than 3.5% for the five-day and has added more than 1% today alone.

We've been talking a lot about inflation, and this week gave us even more to chew on in terms of CPI and PPI seeming to show a slowdown - disinflation. The textbooks will tell you that disinflation happens when inflation is still running positive but is compressing and slowing down. The data is a cl
We talk about markets “drifting” higher or lower, but that’s a figure of speech. Markets don’t just “drift” - momentum builds, positioning shifts, and suddenly you find yourself staring at what feels like the edge of a reversal. Like a tipping point. The S Ps are down just 23 handles heading into th
Note: Gianni’s going over his entire third-quarter playbook tomorrow in his Trinity Trade “mini-masterclass.” Stocks are hanging around in slightly positive territory today, but I'm seeing a lot of choppy price action in individual names. This tells me something interesting - that there are correcti
These events have strange names, but the profit potential is no laughing matter. In fact, “squeezequakes,” when they happen and you spot them correctly, can be a game-changer! See, in my MasterMind class, I help traders identify what I call “Ghost Prints,” the telltale signs whales and other big mar
