Monday’s market opening was a doozy, with all three indices down nearly 2% in overnight trading. This was in response to President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on China. Eventually, the indices were able to stem their losses as Trump paused the tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports for […]

Volatility ($VIX) May Be Providing Clues of a Big Market Drop

Volatility ($VIX) May Be Providing Clues of a Big Market Drop


February 4, 2025
Secondary market signals are beginning to line up for a further drop, which can sometimes provide false signals. The primary indicator for me is always the combination of price/volume. When I only look at price/volume on the S&P 500, it still remains easy to be long – on all time frames: S&P 500 – daily: […]

Be Careful With These Topping Candles

Be Careful With These Topping Candles


February 3, 2025
“When do I sell?” is easily the most-asked question I’ve received over the years. There are multiple answers to this question based on certain variables. The first key variable is whether you’re a day trader, short-term swing trader, or long-term buy and holder. I prefer swing trading, so my answer many times is when corroborating […]
We’re Topping With BEARISH Action Ahead!

We’re Topping With BEARISH Action Ahead!


February 2, 2025
Listen, I’m generally a fairly optimistic guy. I tend to see the good in the stock market, while many others continuously focus on potential selloffs ahead. I remain mostly bullish for good reason as the S&P 500 has risen 75% of all years since 1950. It just doesn’t make sense to keep trying to bet […]

SP600 (IJR) Silver Cross BUY Signal May Arrive Too Late

SP600 (IJR) Silver Cross BUY Signal May Arrive Too Late


February 1, 2025
Today on the S&P 600 (IJR), the 20-day EMA nearly crossed above the 50-day EMA for a “Silver Cross” IT Trend Model BUY Signal. Price is really going nowhere. Bulls might look at it as a bull flag, but the ‘flag’ is horizontal, not trending lower. That setup doesn’t usually execute as you’d expect, with […]
