Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… The week starts with a bang—Trump, tweets, and political uncertainty, and markets bouncing like a hyperactive yo-yo. With bullish and bearish triggers already firing, we’re in a “could go either way” situation. Price is lingering at the range low on the daily chart, leaving us with two clear possibilities—a […]

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Last week’s bear swing trade wrapped up beautifully, moving from range highs to range lows, before Friday delivered the perfect reversal. Price tagged the lower Bollinger Band, turned with multiple bullish pulse bars, and gave us a classic V-shaped price action entry—the perfect signal to exit the last bear

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Is the bear move done, or do we have more downside left? Honestly, who cares when you have a solid process? The bear swing is rolling along nicely, with the first SPX and NDX tranches hitting profit targets. For now, price action is still making lower highs and lower

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Monday came in swinging, continuing Friday’s move and landing price right at the range low target. And what do we get? A beautiful V-shaped reaction—just like we discussed in detail during our group call. Now we have two key scenarios unfolding, mirroring what we saw at the upper boundary

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Last week’s market action was like watching a cat decide whether to jump off a shelf—hesitation, commitment, regret, and then chaos. SPX pushed through the bull trigger on Wednesday, only to whip back through the hedge & bear trigger, finally showing some real movement on Friday. But before we

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Well, that was fun! The pre-market divergence gave us the heads-up, and by the time the main session kicked in, things went wild. SPX, DJX, NDX, and RUT all took a dive, and my bearish trades lined up perfectly. Even my fat-finger trade—which should have been a total disaster—somehow

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… These kangaroo markets just won’t quit. Every time we break out of one range, the Bollinger Bands pinch again, locking us into another one. Meanwhile, other indexes fell out of bed, but SPX? It’s clinging on by “the Bulls”. When will it finally open up and run? Who knows—but

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… The SPX is climbing like a caffeinated squirrel… ok, maybe not. It’s more like a slightly confused sloth trying to find second gear!…, while DJX and RUT are stuck in the mud. The breakout move we’ve been waiting for has arrived, and now the question is—does it have enough

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Still waiting. Yep, that’s where we are. The market is about as exciting as watching paint dry, but this is not the time to get impatient. As much as I’d love to jump into a trade just to feel productive, I know better—waiting for the right entry beats chasing

Ahoy there Trader! ‍‍⚓️ It’s Phil… Welcome to another shortened trading week, thanks to Presidents’ Day (or maybe an extended Valentine’s weekend for the lucky ones). With all the nudge nudge, wink wink out of the way, let’s talk setups. I’m watching two key trade scenarios—a breakout continuation or a break-in reversal (aka a false
