Bulls Survive Another Day


The S&P 500 is not going down without a fight. The SPX was able to close back above the 21 exponential moving average (EMA) and canceled out all the lower timeframe Big 3 sell signals on Monday. This is a step in the right direction for the bulls.

If the 5-minute and 15-minute squeezes can fire long, this could give extra momentum to push the S&P higher. But the bulls aren’t out of the woods yet and we could see more chop for the month of August. See why in the video below.

Big 3 Squeeze

SPY Weekly Chart

The weekly squeeze on the SPY fired 9 weeks ago. Remember that when a squeeze fires, we typically look for 8 to 10 bars of momentum in that direction (weekly squeeze would be 8 to 10 weeks).

This means that we’re at the tail end of the move on an already extended weekly chart. We’re also getting signs that things are getting tired on the lower time frames.

As a trader, this is the spot where we need to flip the switch from attack mode to more of observation mode.

Next week, the plan is to “play the over/under game” with the 21 exponential moving average (EMA). If price is above the 21 EMA and Big 3 Buy signals are present, we’ll look to play the move higher (and vice versa to the downside).

In the video below I walk through two setups I’m eyeing: a potential long setup and a potential short setup.

Big 3 Squeeze Watchlist: 7/31


Let’s run through our Big 3 Squeeze watchlist to identify good-looking trade setups and names we’ll look to enter on a pullback. Stay tuned for more details on the Big 3 Squeeze this week!

When creating our watchlist, we’re looking at the Big 3 Buy and Sell signals on multiple timeframes, squeezes on multiple timeframes, and names trading in the buy zone around the 21 exponential moving average (EMA). This can help give us the green light for an A+ Big 3 setup.

We’ll review two of my favorite picks for the week on LCID and CRWD and other names that we’ll look to enter on a pullback like LYB and BA.

 

 

In the video above, I also give an update on our current open position on ADI, a call debit spread with August expiration opened in the Compounding Growth Mastery. See when we opened the trade in the Tweet below:

+50% on WMT Squeeze & Big 3 Setup


Let’s walk through some of my top squeeze picks with upside potential for the week.

We closed our WMT swing trade today for about a 50% return in the Compounding Growth Mastery as WMT hit our target near $160. There could still be room for further upside momentum, so we’ll look to reload on a pullback.

Watch the video below to see our newest trade opened on Freeport (FCX), an update on our open trade on CHK, and the potential trade setups on BIDU and PEP.

Follow The Big 3 Colors


This week we experienced a rotation from technology stocks into healthcare, energy, and consumer staples. QQQ could show potential opportunities. If the Big 3 Squeeze histogram breaks under the zero line, QQQ could head under the daily 21 exponential moving average (EMA).

Remember that the NDX special rebalance is happening on Monday the 24th, which could make for an interesting week.

See the names on my daily squeeze watchlist here:

 

Personally, I’m looking to buy some of these names at one of the two buy zones, either the hourly 21 exponential moving average (EMA) or the daily 21 EMA.

Nested Squeeze Market


An essential free tool I’ve been using is the ATR Trailing Stop. The combination of squeezes and the ATR Trailing stop shows opportunities in the current market with many nested squeezes setting up in big names.

In today’s video, I review a setup I took in Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) using the ATR Trailing stop and other opportunities to look out for next week.

 

 

 

Nasdaq Rebalance Causes Rotation


The Nasdaq 100 (NDX) will have a special rebalance effective on Monday, July 24th. The top names in the NDX like MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, etc. collectively have too much weight in the index. Now, what we’re seeing is rotation within the QQQ.

Big money is selling the big tech names and buying the smaller names like AVGO, CSCO, and PEP. The question now is how long does the rebalancing take place?

In the video below, we’ll review the charts on the S&P 500 (SPX) as well as some good-looking setups that are shaping up.

Big 3 Squeezes: $MSFT & $NFLX


The S&P 500 ($SPX) continues looking good into July. If they continue to head higher, great opportunities could unfold.

My Big 3 Indicator shows bullish signals on multiple time frames for Microsoft ($MSFT) with a daily squeeze. I bought calls with the Simpler Options Room members looking for the 2-hour squeeze to fire long to the upside and push toward $350.

One of my favorite stocks this year, Netflix ($NFLX), printed a brand-new daily squeeze and is consolidating nicely. Look out for that daily squeeze to potentially fire long and trigger a breakout to my target of $450.

 

 

This is the last day to get my Big 3 indicator for 30% off with Simpler Trading’s Fourth of July sale. Quickly identify more squeezes and A+ setups in the market here.
