Let’s Talk About the Regular Trading Hours Retest
Look at a 24-hour chart of the S&P 500 ETF, SPY, and you’ll see clear gaps in the price action overnight. I’ll show you what I mean in a second, but bear with me. Those happen precisely because of overnight activity; it’s not magic. If the market was open 24 hours a day… the gap…

How to Trade for Dystopian Days
This weekend’s assassination attempt on the former president, and distinctly downbeat vibes throughout the economy, make it worthwhile to consider… a gigantic bummer. Possibly.

…And the Rally Goes On with Absolutely Manic Rotations
You know, I don’t care if you’re fundamentally bullish about this market or bearish, you have to just take a step back in shock and awe and try and get a grip on the magnificent sell-side activity we got yesterday. And on a day when we saw relatively soft inflation data - pure catnip for…
Tech Just Scared Traders Into Safety - Here’s What to Do
Markets go up and down every day. Sometimes that’s not really significant - just the ebb and flow of capital. On other days, though, there’s a real shift in key sectors. That’s what we got today. The tech-heavy NASDAQ had sunk more than 1.7% by 3:30 PM, whereas the broader S&P 500 had dropped just…
The Runaway Rally Before Earnings and CPI
The bulls just cannot be beaten right now. It’s another day, another set of all-time highs. As I write this, I’m watching the market hit - bullseye! - the upper edge of its 56.33 expected move.

TSLA Hit Our Target - Here’s What’s Next
Traders following along with us were able to bank some significant swing-trading profits on TSLA - around 26% in a week. To do that in a timeframe where the broader market has tacked on around 3% is no mean feat. That said, what’s coming around the corner - in an entirely different sector - could…
This VIX Whale Trade Should Make You Nervous
The S&P 500 is hitting all-time highs on a regular, almost serial basis these days. When the market lets the good times roll, they roll indeed.

This Market Is a One-Stock Phenom
Holiday markets are usually very sleepy; low volumes and tame price action. Not this one. The holiday trade hanging over from yesterday’s break is packing quite a punch. After an extremely sleepy start this morning, the S&P 500 ended the day red-hot, up 0.54% - I’ll show you what that really looks like in a…
