$SNDK might be the greatest stock in market history. Every time the bull trend reclaims, the playbook feels stupid simple: slap long, forget it exists, go out and play some sport. I seriously hope this post doesn’t top the stock, though 🤞😂

1 of my favorite places to initiate a position isn't the breakout itself... It's the first pullback after the b/o. That's exactly why I bought $HOOD yesterday. The first pullback after a Stage 1 breakout is often where institutions remind you why they bought it in the first place. $HOOD spent roughly 130 days building a Stage 1 base. That's months of price moving sideways while buyers and sellers battled for control. Eventually, buyers won + price broke above the range, volume expanded on up days, and the stock officially transitioned into what I would consider a Stage 2 uptrend. Now the name gets my attention. Most traders see the breakout and think they missed the move. I actually became more interested after the breakout because I know stocks don't move in a straight line forever. Healthy leaders expand, digest, and then give you another opportunity if you're patient enough to wait. The first pullback after a Stage 1 breakout is one of the highest-probability areas I know to get involved. But why? Because the stock has already answered the hardest question. It has already proven institutions are willing to accumulate shares aggressively enough to push price out of a months-long base. Now I'm simply watching to see if those same institutions are willing to defend the first test of support. That's why I pay so much attention to the 9EMA and 21EMA combo. Not because moving averages magically hold price... but because they tend to become areas where strong stocks naturally pause, reset, and reveal whether demand is still present. When $HOOD started pulling back into the 9/21EMA cluster, I wasn't rushing to buy it. I was watching it, because I wanted to see the character of the pullback. > Was volume drying up? > Were sellers becoming less aggressive? > Was the stock holding tighter than the market? > Was $HOOD showing relative strength still? > Were buyers beginning to defend the area instead of allowing price to completely lose structure? Those are the questions running through my head. I'm not buying the moving average, but I'm buying the buyers, who are pushing the stock higher. Once I start seeing buyers step back in, I immediately drop down to my execution timeframe. This is where my 15/30-minute pivots become so valuable. They allow me to react to what buyers are doing intraday. Instead of trying to catch the exact low, I'm waiting for momentum to actually begin shifting back in my favor. That gives me something every trader should be looking for: 1) A clearly defined risk level. If the pivot fails, I know I'm wrong. But if buyers continue defending the pullback, I'm positioned near the beginning of the next expansion leg. That's what I call an asymmetric opportunity. The strongest stocks almost always make you uncomfortable before they reward you. They rarely go straight up forever because they pull back just enough to shake out weak hands, create doubt, and make everyone wonder if the move is over. Then they quickly reclaim support and continue higher. That's why I love these setups so much. I'm trying to identify where institutions are likely defending the trend. Will every first pullback work? Of course not. Some will stop me out, and some will need another week or two of tightening. Some will undercut the moving averages before reclaiming them... but that's just part of trading. But after years of studying leaders and countless others, this behavior keeps showing up over and over again. - Large base. - Strong breakout. - Healthy digestion. - First pullback into the 9/21EMAs. - Buyers step in. - Momentum returns. It's a pattern I've built a tremendous amount of confidence in because I've seen it repeat across so many different leaders and market cycles. At the end of the day, my goal is 2 position myself where the trend has already proven itself, buyers are beginning to take back control, my risk is clearly defined, and the upside is still heavily skewed in my favor. That's exactly what I saw in $HOOD. And that's exactly the type of opportunity I'll continue looking for as long as the market keeps giving it to me. Chart: $HOOD.

Full transparency, I’m holding 86,000 shares of $WYFI at ~$34.5 average. Actively looking to add on pullbacks to hover near ~100,000 shares. IMO retail is starting to realize what $META did… $NBIS should not have sold off like that. $WULF / Anthropic validated the entire neocloud thesis and it doesn’t seem like the market has properly priced it in. There’s a reason institutions swooped in and picked up shares instantly after the selloff began. As usual, I will add/sell as I see fit.

That's how I made the 700,000%. With all due respect, if I could be honest. You are talking out your ass. To qualify for your $100 million cutoff, a $25 stock would need to trade approximately 4 million shares per day, and a $10 stock would need to trade 10 million. Unless your running a multi-billion dollar fund for Fidelity, your standard is totally ridiculous. Even then, it's too restrictive. I would guess that only about 400-500 stocks even trade 4-10 million shares per day. I'm done with this conversation. My advice to you is to attend my Master Trader Program. You will learn how to trade like a champ... and then you will then stop talking like a chump. Best wishes my friend. 😇🙏
