The NASDAQ Problem
The Dow Jones hit a new all time high yesterday. The NASDAQ hasn't made one since late October. Gianni Di Poce flagged this divergence in today's session. The longer tech fails to confirm the rally, the more concerning the setup becomes. There are some bright spots. Semiconductors are breaking out. Micron keeps hitting new highs.…
Short Squeezes Are Brewing
Brandon Chapman just flagged two stocks setting up for potential short squeezes right now. The Santa Claus rally never showed up. But beneath the surface, aggressive call buying is creating the conditions for explosive moves. Brandon tracks options flow to identify gamma squeezes before they trigger short squeezes. When someone buys thousands of call contracts,…
New Year Same Risk
Five weeks. One hundred points. Dead center at 5900. That's the entire story of the S&P 500 since late November. Bulls are claiming we ended the year strong. The chart says we've gone absolutely nowhere. Let me say this… The longer we stay compressed, the more open interest accumulates on the same option strikes. This…
Your 2025 Gains Are Fake
Wall Street is celebrating a 16% year in the S&P 500. Blake Young just proved that number is fiction. After adjusting for the dollar's 9.5% collapse against other currencies, your real return drops to 6%. And that's the generous calculation. Gold surged nearly 60% this year. If you use gold as your inflation benchmark, US…
Markets Have One Week Left
Gianni just identified a critical inflection point that will determine the next several months of trading. His thesis is straightforward. If stocks don't start rallying by the end of next week, we're heading into a multi-month grind that will punish both bulls and bears. The market loves to frustrate the largest number of traders possible,…
60,000 Contracts Hit This Stock
Someone just made a $14 million bet on a stock most traders have never heard of. Brandon spotted 60,000 call contracts hit Compass Inc. (COMP) in a single print today. Within two minutes, the stock ripped from $10.44 to $10.76 on an intraday gamma squeeze. The trade happened at 1:12 PM Eastern while everyone else…
Silver's Gone Savage
SLV, the silver ETF, just traded 2.7 million option contracts in a single session. For context, that's approaching Nvidia territory. On a holiday Friday with virtually no volume anywhere else. The bigger question isn't whether this trade ends badly. It will. No market cracks the expected move five weeks in a row and stays elevated…
Consumer Sentiment Crashes to 20-Year Low
We’ve got a half day of trading, keeping things quiet…or so you would think. Let me start by saying, the response to my 0DTE webinar was OVERWHELMING. I knew that trading 0DTE products was popular…but my word. For those of you who weren’t able to attend, you can check out a replay of the event…
NASDAQ's Warning Signal
Gianni just flagged a critical divergence that could determine whether this rally has legs or is running on fumes. The S&P 500 continuous contract just hit a new all time high. The cash index is on the verge of its highest daily close in history. Yet the NASDAQ has not made a new all time…
The S&P's Hidden Collapse
Brandon just exposed a number most traders refuse to look at. The S&P 500 in gold terms is now trading at April lows. Gold surged 2.2% today. The S&P gained just 0.6%. That means in real purchasing power, the market lost ground. Brandon ran the ratio. At the start of the year, the S&P traded…
