Let’s not sugarcoat it—if you haven’t learned how to trade yet, now is the time. Over the next few months—maybe the rest of the year—this skill could be critical to your income, your lifestyle, and your financial future. We’re entering a market environment eerily similar to 2022, where weakness in the S&P 500 could linger.…
Stocks Face a Big Test Here - Here’s What to Do
“Can the bulls pull it off?” That’s the question on 162 million minds right now. Tonight we’ll answer it. Stocks started the week off on a strong note, but, as of about 1 PM today, they're in “catching their breath” mode. Nevertheless it’s way too early to say definitively that the tide has turned back…

It’s Tuesday, and the markets are rebounding—again. The S&P 500 is on the move, and we’re watching futures push higher while commodities absolutely rip. Silver, copper, lumber, platinum—you name it, it’s running. What’s behind the move? It’s a news-driven environment, and the U.S. dollar is rolling over, giving a tailwind to metals. But before you…
How “Ghost Prints” and “Squeezequakes” Are Driving This Market Higher
Big market moves often come with big stories, and last week was no exception. It all started on Thursday when some massive “Ghost Print” call option trades hit the Magnificent Seven stocks - Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Meta (META). As I said in Friday afternoon’s First Mover Market Advantage, these…
What to Do As Bitcoin Bumps and the Magnificent Seven Jump
On Friday, I outlined an important litmus test for the market. It was based on a series of option prints that came into Magnificent Seven (“Mag 7”) stocks on Thursday. These large “Ghost Prints” are incredibly powerful when it comes to capturing profit potential - and you’re going to be hearing a lot more about…

It’s Macro Monday, and there’s a lot on the radar today. We’re coming off the backside of Triple Witching, and that means fresh momentum, rotation, and opportunity. March Madness is in full swing—brackets are holding (mostly)—but today we’re focused on what the market’s telling us, not what college hoops are doing. From sector momentum to…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Energy Leads, but Is the Market Truly Bottoming?
A late-day rally on Friday saved stocks from a very nasty close on the week, but after surfing the charting landscape over the weekend, I’m not surprised to see this squeeze playing out to start the week. The billion-dollar question, of course, is whether this is another bear market rally or the start of something…

Good morning—it's March 21st, and it's Triple Witching Day. I'm still up in the mountains, the market’s open, and yes—if a kid barrels into the room mid-show, it’s just part of the experience today. Markets are bouncing around, SPX levels are getting misquoted, and that’s kind of the vibe right now—chaotic but full of opportunity.…
The Market’s Calm on the Surface - But Risk Is Lurking
The S&P 500 closed today massively unchanged from where it started the week - tame compared to last week’s mayhem. I’m seeing the words “back to normal” and “calm” thrown around a lot out there. The VIX came down below 20 today, which might make it seem like calm is returning, but don’t buy it…
