Can You Spot the Trend?

Hey Traders,

Let’s do a quick recap.

Last week, I showed you how to read a bear market like a pro — just by looking at three moving averages on a chart.

No fancy tools. No complicated systems. Just structure.

Then yesterday, I told you exactly where to focus:

“Right now, we’re seeing some individual stocks break out to new highs.
Those are the names you want to focus on. The ones with strong, clean trends.”

Today, I want to test you.

Not in a pop quiz kind of way — more like a real-life drill.

Because this is the kind of thing that separates chart readers from headline chasers.

Here’s What to Do

I’m going to give you a handful of tickers.

Your mission?

Use the same setup I gave you in “How to Read a Bear Market Like a Pro”:

  • 6-month daily chart
  • Add the 20-day (green), 50-day (blue), and 200-day (red) exponential moving averages
  • See how they’re stacked
  • Watch how price has reacted to them

Then ask yourself:

  • Is this a bullish setup?
  • Is this a bearish setup?
  • Or is this stuck in “no-man’s land”?

This is the exact framework I use every day to figure out where my edge is.

And once you train your eyes to see it — you’ll never look at a chart the same way again.

Try It On These

Here are your practice tickers:

  • BJ
  • AGI
  • FOXA
  • CNP
  • GILD
  • WFRD
  • VRSN

Use the blueprint. Trust what you see. Don’t overthink it.

Tomorrow I’ll check in and give you the answers.

But for today?

Just take a shot — and see if your instincts are starting to line up with what the chart is really saying.

Trade well,
Jack Carter

P.S. May is here and these three stocks have a history of popping over the next few weeks!

Trapped (Just Like I Told You)

Hey Traders, Look at the headlines and you’d think this market is resilient. “Stocks rally on stronger jobs data”…“Investors shake off Fed jitters”…“Markets hold steady
