Hey Traders, It’s the first day of the second half of the year, and SPY is sitting at a new 52-week high. Despite all the headlines lately — from the Fed to Iran to GDP numbers and stalled legislation — the market’s kept climbing. It hasn’t just bounced… it’s kept making higher highs and higher […]

Hey Traders, So markets are kind of frozen, huh? Look at the chart this week — SPY has been bumping its head on a ceiling… Real short candles. No conviction. Just sideways chop. Between tariffs getting paused, restarted, and paused again… And whispers of a war with Iran… traders are jittery. And when traders get […]

Hey Traders, Let me give you a quick head start today — because we’re in a market that’s starting to reward trend-followers again. First, let’s talk big picture. The S&P 500 (SPY) is above all three of my trend points. We just had a crossover to the upside on the trendlines, and that’s laying the […]

Hey Traders, Take a look at these charts of SPY, DIA, and QQQ — and then think back to where we were just a few months ago. Back in early March, the market was starting to break down. SPY was falling hard. QQQ was sinking. DIA was already rolling over. The headlines were panicked, the […]

Hey Traders, Ever had a moment where something was sitting right in front of you the whole time — but you just couldn’t see it? Maybe it’s your sunglasses on your head. Or your keys, sitting right there on the counter while you tear the house apart looking for them. You feel a little silly […]

Hey Traders, This morning started off with a jolt. Markets opened down hard — I’m talkin’ over 1% across each of the three major indexes — thanks to renewed tariff news making the rounds. Now normally, headlines like that get people all twisted up. You see red on the screen and folks start panicking. But […]

Hey Traders, As I’ve been saying lately… this market is shifting. We’re not out of the woods just yet — but the bearish stretch we saw starting in early March through the last week or two is starting to give way. You can feel it. And if you look at a chart the way I […]

Hey Traders, Let’s talk about something I watch very closely in this market: Crossovers. Not the ones from the news.Not the ones from Fed speakers. I mean trendline crossovers — where the short-term, intermediate, and long-term trendlines start to flip in the right direction. Because when that happens? It’s usually the first big signal that […]

Hey Traders, Right now, this market is choppy as ever. And when the headlines are all over the place — and momentum flips on a dime — technical analysis becomes more important than ever. You’ve got to stay on the right side of the action, even when the signals are messy. Let’s take a look […]

Hey Traders, Let’s talk about something that trips up even the smartest traders… Hope. Hope can be helpful in life — but in trading? It’s dangerous. Especially in markets like this one. Yesterday, SPY closed strong — even popped above its 20-day moving average. But take a look at what’s happening today: a little up, […]
