Classic Reversion to the Mean?


The weekly squeeze on the S&P 500 (SPX) fired 4 weeks ago. Usually, a weekly squeeze could give 6 to 8 or even 10 weeks of momentum.

The SPX daily chart is beginning to revert to the mean and converted to a Big 3 neutral signal.

In the video below, I’ll walk through what I’m looking for on the SPX and QQQ and review my recently opened and closed positions.

Bulls Taking Control


With the weekly bull-squeeze on the S&P 500 ($SPX) finally firing long, the bulls were able to break price above the $4,300 level this week. As things are extended, there is always the potential for a reversion-to-the-mean pullback right around the corner. However, until proven wrong, I will view any dip as a buying opportunity, thinking that this weekly squeeze can take the $SPX to $4500 and potentially higher from here.

 

 

My trading computer took its last breath today, so I could not make a video. I’ll be back up and running next week with a new computer! Remember that the market is closed on Monday, so there is no newsletter.

SPX Hits August Highs, What’s Next?


Multiple squeezes on the S&P 500 (SPX) have fired to the upside. At the end of the day on Monday, the SPX hit the August highs (as we reviewed in last week’s newsletter). This is a big level to start a busy week of economic events that could shake up the market.

In the video below, we’ll review the scenarios we could see play out on the SPX and the setups on my watchlist including ZM, SHOP, GOOGL, and more.

My 50% Return on TSLA

This week, there was significant progress in the weaker parts of the market. If small caps can wake up and the market gets better breath alongside tech stocks’ leadership, we may see the S&P 500 ($SPX) head higher into the summer.

In the video below, I dive into my latest trade on Tesla, where I profited from a 50% return. So far, my small account is up 560% in just three weeks!

Big 3 Squeeze: Swing Setups in $SHOP, $ZM, $TSLA, $SPX


 

The goal with having my Big 3 Indicator and signals, plus using the squeeze, is to try and find the moment where everything is locked and loaded. That is the most challenging part about trading, being patient for the moment when everything is coming together. Lately, I have a zero-tolerance policy for a stock to do anything more than it’s supposed to do and have been cutting my losses short to move on to the next setup. In today’s video, I review my recent trade on Microstrategy ($MSTR) and a few other setups I’m looking at this week.

 

 

SPX to August Highs?


The S&P 500 tested the big $4,300 level on Monday. The next key level to look out for is the August high around $4,325.

Right now, the path of least resistance appears to be to the upside. SPX is printing a handful of Big 3 buy signals on the weekly, daily, 4-hour, 2-hour, and 1-hour charts. The weekly squeeze officially fired to the upside on Monday. Based on the power of the nested squeeze, there is a strong chance that the SPX could break through that level and break higher.

The key is if the SPX can break through $4,300 on its first try. In the video below, I review where I would buy SPX and NFLX on a pullback. I’ll also review the new position opened on Monday in the Compounding Growth Mastery.

 

 

Position Update: We managed our risk and cut our MSTR trade last week for a small loss. Remember, we want to minimize our losses and maximize our wins.

Took a Small Loss: Lesson Learned


This week, I took a Micro Strategy (MSTR) trade with my Compounding Growth Mastery members for a slight loss. The challenging part about trading is being patient for the moment when everything is coming together.

I have learned that I have a zero-tolerance policy for a stock to do anything more than it’s supposed to do. If the stock isn’t behaving, you shouldn’t play the game of hopium.

Tech and Semi’s Lead into Long Weekend


Despite this week’s back-and-forth price action, the market is in good shape for a potential breakout. The S&P 500 (SPX) shows multiple squeezes on daily, 2-day, and weekly time frames. When those come together with a Big 3 buy signal, there is a high probability for the squeezes to fire long.

 

 

Big names like Google (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Semiconductors continue to lead the way for the market this week. In the video above, I review my current trades with my Compounding Growth Mastery members in Netflix (NFLX) and Tesla (TSLA). I hope everyone enjoys the Memorial Day Weekend. Take this time to tighten your watchlist and prepare for the week ahead. Due to Monday’s holiday, there will be no newsletter sent.

The Fight Through 4,200


The S&P 500 (SPX) continues to trade around the $4,200 resistance level. On Monday, SPX approached $4,200 but failed to break through it at the close.

The daily bull squeeze officially fired long on Monday with Big 3 buy signals on the weekly, daily, 4-hour, 2-hour, and 1-hour time frames. For now, the path of least resistance indicators are printing bullish. This could cause these squeezes to trigger to the upside…

In the video below, I’ll review where SPX could move if the squeezes trigger and break down charts on TSLA and NFLX.

Will The Bulls Push Us Higher?


It was an action-packed week for the market. We had Options Expiration (OPEX) on Friday, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke.

On Wednesday, I took a call debit spread with my Compounding Growth Mastery members on NFLX (Netflix). The next day Netflix’s daily squeeze fired and gapped up, causing a big push into Thursday’s trading session. We cashed out for a 60% return!

The question heading into next week is, will the S&P 500 finally break out of its squeezes? Although we had OPEX, the bulls still have all the ammunition to get the job done for the SPX.
