Very true - it starts with the right mindset and not only with money - but with everything in life

sept levels hit - market cannot find buyers.... July and August levels below - 50EMA around 615 then we go to the 2025 open ~590

we might revisit sept...

Ok hear me on this one: $QQQ Nasdaq hit $636 on Jan 28th $SPY S&P 500 hit 697 on Jan 28th. I was as open as one can be. You dont be the exit liquidity, you dont bet the house at big resistances, and you keep cash handy - all three things are part of the relief now. my X friends deserve these hence I share them warnings. my next big levels for 2026 to buy will be posted on Sunday ( 03/29 ). Prof,

Nasdaq has never looked like this in the history. 5 consecutive candles like this are Very Rare. Why? All credit to Premarket & Post market pumps $NQ_F $QQQ

Thank you @TheProfInvestor for being open!

@FortuneOptions Slow bleeding in the markets are more painful than the sudden sharp moves like Covid or tariffs etc...

It’s funny because we are not even close to an opportunity like March & April of 2025. Be patient, best opportunities are found under 20.

$SPY today couldn't recapture yesterday low - and then EMAs short rider

@ZeroHedge_ Job market right now is not good and it is not (only) because of AI. I tell them to learn SKILLS and be adaptable. The knowlege they need: they will learn on the job. Best thing they can do is to always be prepared to learn new things bc things change fast nowadays

Here’s a question I have for parents. How do you guide your kids right now with regards to school and college when it comes to career path in the light of everything going on with AI? What are you telling them to do? I’m not a parent, but I would like to be oneday. I often think about questions like this. Especially lately

@ItsJust_Kess Gas this morning $4.29 vs $3.09 a month ago

The first red flag was when $CL_F didn’t make new lows off that nice bear flag setup Would make sense why I was so confused - they didn’t want to accept lower anticipating a taco like reversal (which is what they got)

EMAs on the Daily. Since they crossed bearish, any bounce / re-test has been sold at the EMAs. This is the guide to know when things will shift.

$SPY is below the 200 Day MA but still managing to stay above the 50 WMA at $645 This is the last line of defence for me, if this is lost then the 200 WMA at the 0.38 fib at $515 is the next target and this is a Market Correction. Time is ticking now to end the War.

@ItsJust_Kess The 50% level from last week - whether D, W, M there are often schenanigans there.

@LearningAlways_ Noted, I’ll play around with that when I’m back home from the gym!

645 next $SPY

@ItsJust_Kess I feel you...

@LearningAlways_ Could you imagine my surprise being in 658 calls expecting a rally high, just for market to f around all day and then no later than 15 minutes after close we moon to 660? Imagine how played one would feel loooool (Tell your friend we just gotta ride this nonsense out)

Just gunna sit here with my thumb up me arse until Iran denies all claims and this feedback loop continues until it doesn’t

@ItsJust_Kess You put in words exactly how I am feeling. Too frustrated to trade. It used to be fun - not much so this year....

Thought of the night: how am I supposed to not feel hopeless entering the market in the environment when there is obvious manipulation taking place? I guess the only smart answer to that is just not to trade anything until this is all done. But the volatility is so fun!…. Today was the last straw for me trying fb justifying the pattern of news that would circulate from the Trump admin. It is market manipulation- 100%. I’m not sure how one can think it’s not. Every single time news drops it’s seems to happen when: 1.) bonds are pushing 2.) oil is mooning 3.) it’s over the weekend 4.) the market is closed (part of 3 but not the same) If you aren’t in Trump’s paid discord to get market signals then you are as good as the dust that settles a few minutes after a headline hits. It’s mildly infuriating and honestly disrespectful… but what the heck can you even do about it. Simply put: nothing More extensively: stop trying to trade this shit, cuz that’s what it is, it’s shit In the end we will all make it out of this months later thinking “wtf was that?” I think I’m just frustrated not just for myself but for the people that see how broken this is and just have to accept it’s how it goes. This too shall pass and we will all be better people from it - that I can promise.

I am gonna lay it out in simple language for everyone: -S&P 500 can bounce to 672 and still remain in a downtrend. -If S&P 500 drops below 50 Week SMA @ 645, you can buckle up for 615 target. -Everyone is used to a green/ up year for the markets, this year will be a surprise- Chop & Small Red to Flat is my opinion. This a very few people understand. $SPY $SPX

The "news range" big jump on news and then sideways - let's see what they do ovn.

50% levels are important. I use them on the HTF: D, W, M

@ItsJust_Kess 🤣

Market can stay irrational longer than I can deposit funds into my portfolio

textbook level to level trade Choppy environment = takes profits quickly at target, leave runner with stops.

$SPY wedge :)
