Google. Meta. Broadcom. Even IBIT. This is the biggest development since weekly options launched. The 2026 zero DTE stock market takeover is officially underway. Nvidia…
Zero DTE hits individual stocks (most traders have no clue)
Alright, Monday something big happens and most people are gonna get run over because they don't understand what zero DTE on individual stocks actually means. Tesla, Apple, NVIDIA - they're all getting same-day options now. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Not just Fridays anymore. And here's what I LOVE - IBIT made the list. The Bitcoin ETF.…
The $8.5 trillion gamma bomb is about to go live
Alright, so on January 26th it all goes down…but nobody’s talking about what this actually means. Tesla, Apple, NVIDIA, all these trillion-dollar names just got zero DTE three times a week instead of once. You think last Friday was nuts with Meta jumping eight bucks in seconds? That was one expiration day. Now it's…
When Winning Is Losing
Alcoa crushed estimates by 50% yesterday. The stock reported $1.26 against an 85 cent estimate. Wall Street's response was to destroy it by $7 in a single session. I have traded for 39 years. This is what a market top looks like. Companies are delivering results that should send stocks higher. The market is punishing…
Why I'm Fading Financials in 2026
Financials hit record highs in late 2025. Volume has declined for six straight months. One of those facts is a buy signal. The other is a warning. They can't both be right. Price making new highs on shrinking volume is one of the oldest divergence signals in technical analysis. It means fewer participants are driving…
Friday, January 23, 2026 - Tony's Pre-Market Playbook

Healthcare Stocks Breaking Out Now
Healthcare is outperforming the S&P 500. While the broader market barely touched its gap, the healthcare sector blew right through it and kept climbing. Blake Young spotted this divergence today. He found five dividend-paying stocks positioned for both income and breakout gains. The setup is straightforward. Market volatility is rising. Option spreads are widening. Market…
Chocolate Covered Hand Grenades Just Got More Frequent
Look, when my buddy Frank first watched retail clients trade S&P futures back in the day, he said they looked like they were "juggling chocolate covered hand grenades." I've used that line ever since because it perfectly captures what happens when you give powerful tools to people who don't respect the explosive potential. Well, starting…
The Volatility System You NEED
The VIX hit 13.5 last week. Most traders saw calm waters and looked to buy the dip. Smart money saw a storm building. Here's why. The spot VIX was pricing 13.5% volatility. But VIX futures were pricing 18.5% for the same 30-day window. That's not a rounding error. That's a 37% premium telling you institutions…
Somewhere a 22-Year-Old Just Quit Journalism Forever
President said China has no windmills. A 22-year-old journalism student got assigned to fact-check that statement, realized they'd have to verify whether a country that produces twice our wind capacity actually has windmills, and promptly quit to find himself in the Darien Gap. I don't blame the kid. This is why I don't take anything…
