Hey traders, Quick market update and how I’m handling it. Lately, the tone’s shifted. The market isn’t as strong as it was a few sessions ago. We tagged support at my short-term 20 day trend point, slipped through it, and found firmer footing closer to the intermediate-term 50 day trend point — that’s a sign […]

Hey traders, If Friday rattled you and today felt like whiplash, you’re not alone. Here’s how I think about it: panic is a condition, not a signal. I don’t trade the headlines — I trade the setup that panic leaves behind. Friday gave us fear. Today gave us a bounce. My job is the same […]

Hey traders, Down days don’t scare me — they pay me. Here’s my simple timing rule that’s carried me through more “scary” Fridays than I can count: Why this works is simple: fear and greed inflate different sides of the options chain. On selloffs, puts get puffed up… Meanwhile, when the market rips higher, calls […]

Hey traders, New highs make people nervous. I get it. You hear “bubble,“ you hear “it can’t keep going,“ and pretty soon you’re white-knuckling every tick. Here’s what nearly four decades in this game have taught me: When the market makes fresh all-time highs, the first pullback is often buyable. Not always. But often enough […]

Hey traders, Sometimes we make this game too complicated. Charts, indicators, fancy math… all that has its place. But one of my favorite setups is dead simple. It’s this: When a quality stock breaks out to new 52-week highs, wait for the first pullback… then buy it. That’s it. Why? Because momentum is real. When […]

Hey traders, Yesterday I showed you how the big names — Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and Broadcom — are starting to slip even while the S&P 500 looks fine on the surface. So the natural question is: what happens if that weakness spreads? The Pullback Scenario Now I’ll be straight with you — these exact levels […]

Hey Traders, A lot of folks ask me, “Jack, what do you think of the market right now?” I could tell you… but I’d rather show you. The Broad Market Picture Here’s the S&P 500 (SPY). Every time it’ ‘s pulled back since the crossover back in May, it’s been finding support right at that […]

Hey traders, Yesterday I showed you how I hunt strength on red candle days — my simple 52-week high trick and how to filter the list down so you’re not drowning in tickers. If you missed it, start with that quick read and then come back here for the follow-through. Today I’m flipping the coin. […]

After Friday’s pullback and today’s bounce, I’ve been getting the same question over and over… “Jack — are we still bullish here?” And my answer? Yes. I’m still bullish… until the market proves otherwise. Market Looks Wobbly — But It’s Not Broken Let’s look at the big picture. On Friday, we dipped below the 20-day […]

Hey Traders, If you’ve been watching the market lately, you’ve probably noticed something: Not a lot’s been happening these past 10 days. After a powerful move higher into the start of July, SPY has mostly been chopping sideways — and a lot of folks are starting to wonder if the run is over. But before […]
