Another failed breakout attempt for $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ . The 20-day MA remains below the 10-day MA, keeping the death cross in place. Yesterday's rally ran into resistance at the declining 20-day MA, and today's sell-off exposed the weakness behind that rebound. ATR-based volatility has also expanded over the past two weeks. I believe we're transitioning into a more volatile, two-sided market, with sharp rallies and sell-offs alternating across sessions. Expect larger percentage swings, but within the broader downtrend channel. Don't mistake a strong futures bounce for a confirmed trend reversal. Even if futures are up more than 1.5% tomorrow, as they were yesterday, that alone isn't a reason to chase swing-long setups. Stay discipli

A Further Pullback May Be Healthier 📈 Breadth Is Improving Market breadth continues to recover from last week, but $ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ stalled at the confluence of the 20-day moving average and upper channel resistance, facing rejection in the final 15 minutes of trading. 🎯 What Comes Next? A positive FOMC surprise could push the market higher. But another pullback within the channel may create a stronger foundation for the next advance. That would give more individual stocks time to establish relative strength and form cleaner setups before the market attempts another leg higher. 💡 The Takeaway: A further dip wouldn't necessarily be bearish. If breadth continues improving, a controlled pullback could help set up a more sustainable

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Looking at the two recent corrections in late July and mid-September, both featured a 20 vs 10-MA death cross, with price action trapped within a descending channel. The message is pretty similar for the week; stay away from breakouts until the market decisively breaks out of its current channel/wedge which will coincide with the reclaims of both the 10-MA and 20-MA. This is not a market to force trades. But don't abandon the process. Continue diligently building your watchlist around relative strength in individual industry groups and leading names. No need to trade the market you have, but prepare for the market you want.

Today’s $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ price action has the look of a potential reversal, similar to the July 17 bounce. I’ve already taken three positions and am considering a fourth. But there’s a second scenario to keep in mind: the bounce could fade over the next 3–4 days, followed by a move below today’s low, much like July 23. The key is your timeframe and entry quality. If your setup offers a tight entry with a clear invalidation level, the opportunity may still be worth taking. If you’re trading a short-term bounce, chasing after the initial move can leave you exposed if momentum fades. Don’t confuse a reversal signal with confirmation. Know your holding timeframe, define the level that invalidates your thesis, and ask whether the market is still offer

Tough week. $Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ , via $Tradr 2X Long BE Daily ETF(BEX)$ , came close to stopping out the final tranche within a single session. I also got stopped out of $Cloudflare, Inc.(NET)$ on T+2 this week. If you’ve been struggling with recent entries, you’re not alone. With a few exceptions like $P, this has been a difficult market for everyone. The important part is not avoiding every loss. It’s staying disciplined when the market isn’t giving you much to work with. Successful trading is never a straight line. There will be uncertainty, setbacks, mistakes, and periods when even good setups fail. Keep going. Learn from every loss. Adapt to the market. Shar

$Nike(NKE)$ Monthly Chart + Quarterly EPS & Sales Growth YoY A look at how quarterly earnings and sales growth or deceleration can shape long-term stock performance. EPS: $0.48 vs. $0.44 expected ↳ Down 2% YoY Revenue: $11.21B vs. $11.33B expected ↳ Down 4% YoY EPS beat estimates, but revenue missed and both remain under pressure YoY. The monthly chart is where I’m watching to see whether the longer-term trend can stabilize. Markets are always moving - and sometimes, the best move is knowing what works for you. With Treasury yields, oil prices and rate expectations keeping markets on edge this week, investors are once again thinking carefully about where to position next. There’s no one-size-fits-all choice in investing — and the same goes for

$Everpure(P)$ is the one stock that really stands out to me again. The setup alongside the $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ wedge breakout on September 17 was clean: 📈 Wedge breakout 📈 Reclaimed all major moving averages 📉 ATR% extension from the 50-MA compressed from 10x → 2.6x in roughly a month That compression was the key. After getting massively extended, $P spent a month cooling off and resetting the structure before moving again on September 17. Then the breakout arrived. Me: “Dear God of Trading, it’s me again…” 😂🙏 Sometimes the market gives you the exact setup you’ve been waiting for. $P is one I’m paying very close attention to. 👀 Markets are always moving - and sometimes, the best move is knowing what works for

Looking back, the only decent swing entry on $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ was the immediate post-earnings move on September 2. But even that setup had a catch. ⚠️ The first move could have been an intraday stop-loss attempt, requiring a second entry on a very expanded range. And after holding for roughly a month, the setup offered less than 2R — even with the stop based on the opening price instead of the low of the day. That’s the problem. 📉 Expanded range + limited upside = poor R For a swing trader, I don’t think entering $DELL after such an expanded move makes much sense. Why tie up capital for a month when the potential reward is so small relative to the risk? That’s very different from position trading. If you’re building a long-term posit

One of the late Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.’s most useful ideas was simple: Better trading starts with better risk management. Here are 5 principles worth keeping close. 👇 01 Trade with the market trend Before taking a position, first ask what the broader market is doing. One simple reference is $SPY vs. its 200-day moving average. Historically, markets have tended to perform better when price is above the 200DMA than when it is below it. If $SPY loses that long-term trend reference, reducing exposure can be part of the risk-management process. 02 Know your exit before you enter Every position needs an exit plan. “Buy and hold” without knowing when or why you would sell can leave risk undefined. Tharp suggested using a 25% trailing stop as a starting point for some long-term positions, allowing ro
