Markets are moving—but let’s be honest, they don’t care about fundamentals right now. Today’s session is about peeling back the layers on what’s really driving price, where the money is flowing, and how we use that to position smarter, not louder. Plus, we might get a cameo from Don (or maybe just the legend of Don). Either way, we’re going deep on momentum, breakout names, dollar devaluation, and what record-high liquidity really means for your trades. Key Takeaways: Forget Fundamentals—Focus on Flow Price action doesn’t care about the balance sheet today. We’ll break down how to trade through the noise when logic isn’t leading the tape. Momentum Check & Breakout Watchlist We’ll do the usual momentum scan and take a hard look at the 20-day breakout list. If it’s showing strength on the chart, we’re watching it. Dollar Devaluation & the Liquidity Flood Dollar weakness continues to fuel the

It’s Easter Monday, April 21st, 8:45 AM—and we’re in a good mood. Because today isn’t just about what’s happening in the next five minutes… it’s about understanding the next 36 months. No, we’re not here to make wild predictions—we’re here to ground ourselves in history. Because when you understand the past 17 years of market cycles, macro shifts, and policy pivots, you start to see what’s possible—and what’s probable—going forward. Key Takeaways: This Is About Market Memory, Not Forecasting The goal isn’t to predict the future. It’s to understand what the past tells us about how markets behave when macro patterns rhyme. Fast-Paced, Focused Conversation We’re moving quick—1 slide per minute, because time matters and clarity counts. Every point builds on the last—this is a narrative, not noise. Past 17 Years = Map for the Next 36 Months We’ll look back at key inflection points, Fed cycles, and geopolitical events.

It’s 8:45—grab your coffee and get locked in, because today’s shaping up to be one of those sessions where you either come in prepared… or you get steamrolled. We’ve got eyes on FNGA, momentum’s still shaky, and there’s a lot moving under the surface. This is a market that doesn’t reward hesitation—it rewards structure, discipline, and having a plan before the bell rings. Key Takeaways: FNGA Catches the Eye Early Early moves in FANG names are worth paying attention to—but you need to watch for confirmation, not just chatter. If it runs, VWAP will guide you in, not Twitter. Start Sharp, Stay Sharp The pace is picking up. This isn’t a day to “ease into the market”—it’s a day to be ready at open and act with intent. Momentum Remains Murky Green opens don’t guarantee green closes. Momentum structure still leans cautious to neutral, and that means you need to

Good morning and welcome to the grind—because today’s one of those “read between the lines” sessions. The headlines may not scream panic, but the underlying movement says otherwise. Momentum is red, the tone is cautious, and as we dive deeper into earnings season and macro landmines, this is where disciplined traders step forward—and lazy money gets smoked. Key Takeaways: Red Momentum Still Rules the Tape Market tone hasn’t shifted—risk-off remains the baseline, and every rally feels rented. Watch your levels, size down, and don’t fall for the bait. Noisy News Cycle, Quiet Smart Money The big boys aren’t chasing—they’re hedging, waiting, watching. If you’re wondering what to do, follow that lead: less flash, more focus. Earnings Season Isn’t About Results—It’s About Reaction What the company says matters less than how the market responds. That’s where you find your edge, not in reading press releases. Today’s Theme: Don’t Get Distracted by

   It’s Tuesday, April 15th—aka Tax Day. Do your civic duty, pay Uncle Sam, and let’s not let the IRS be the reason you miss a market opportunity. Markets are mixed, momentum is still red, and the big story isn’t tech—it’s real assets. Commodities are making noise: coffee, platinum, lumber, palladium, even hogs. We’re not just watching charts—we’re watching the real economy push through the tape. Key Takeaways: Market Pulse: Everything’s in the Red Dow -0.4%, S&P -0.3%, and momentum still firmly red. We’re not in panic territory—but we’re not in risk-on mode either. Commodities Are Running the Table Coffee keeps grinding higher. Lumber, platinum, palladium, and yes—even hogs—are showing strength while equities stall. This is a shift. Real assets are sending a signal. Why I’m Wearing Red Today If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know—red = momentum down. This isn’t the time to press risk.

It’s rolling over, and that’s fueling a surge in gold and metals, while sending a warning signal to every long-term saver out there. This is where the rubber meets the macro road—dollar down, gold up, and the Russell acting as a real-time read on the domestic U.S. economy. Key Takeaways: Dollar Breakdown in Progress The U.S. dollar index continues to slide, now below key October and December levels. This has been telegraphed for months, and now it’s playing out. Why the Russell 2000 Matters More Than You Think Unlike the global-heavy S&P 500, the Russell reflects U.S.-centric companies. That makes it the purest read on internal economic momentum. VIX, Oil, and Gold:

Fueled by Mucinex Night Shift (not officially, but it sure felt like it), we’re heading into the weekend with a wild mix of macro tension, earnings fireworks, and good old-fashioned market stupidity. From rising trade tensions between China, Japan, and the U.S., to gold breaking out, to the things happening in markets that just make you shake your head—today’s about cutting through the mess and finding where the edge actually is. Key Takeaways: Macro Madness: China, Japan, and Trade Tensions Escalating trade moves and global positioning are starting to spill into U.S. markets. Traders need to watch currency moves, metals, and rates closely here. Market Dumbness on Display There’s macro… and then there’s just plain dumb stuff happening. I’ll walk you through two examples that highlight exactly what’s broken—and how to trade

[video_player type=”embed” style=”1″ dimensions=”640×360″ width=”640″ height=”360″ align=”center” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″ ipad_color=”black”][/video_player] It’s 8:45, and we’re coming off a wild one. If you were with me yesterday, you already know we were watching VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) like a hawk. And yes, I walked away for literally one minute—and AAPL popped 25%. That’s trading. You blink, you miss. But the bigger story is that the strategy worked. The community was on it. And now, we’re digging into what happened, why it worked, and what’s next. Key Takeaways: VWAP Worked—Again AAPL gave a textbook VWAP pop—25% move while I was grabbing coffee. The setup was clean, predictable, and actionable. Trader Community: Locked In You all crushed it in the chat—real-time insights, live trades, solid teamwork. The best part? It’s repeatable. You just need the setup and the discipline. Sleep-Deprived but Bond Market-Obsessed I’ve been up all night studying the U.S. bond market.
