Markets are whipsawing daily, bouncing up one day, down the next, and sometimes both in the same session. But now, a short-term range is forming, creating clear trading signals based on my 6 money-making patterns.

Key Market Observations:
✅ A well-defined short-term range is developing—easier trade setups ahead
✅ Three trading scenarios in play: bullish, bearish, or neutral
✅ ADD is at an upper extreme level, hinting at short-term bearish potential
✅ Overnight futures are already selling off—leaning slightly bearish

What’s Next?
✅ Tariff wars & new red flag news could trigger the next big move
✅ Patience is key—waiting for the right moment to strike

Markets are at a tipping point, and the system is ready to respond.

This week’s market action is eerily similar to early 2022, when a failed all-time high attempt led to a lazy bear market decline.

Market Setup & Key Observations:
✅ Markets are chopping around after a failed push higher—reminiscent of the 2022 rollover
✅ Price is stalling at the lower range, hesitating before its next move
✅ ADD suggests short-term bullish potential, but hesitation is strong

Potential Scenarios:
✅ Scenario 1: A range reversal to the highs if buyers step in
✅ Scenario 2: A breakdown into the Feb/March correction cycle if support fails

My Approach:
✅ Hedged and prepared for movement in either direction
✅ Patiently waiting for a confirmed breakout or breakdown

If history is about to repeat (or at least rhyme), traders who plan ahead will be the ones who capitalize on the next move.

The week kicks off with political uncertainty, market swings, and key triggers firing. Right now, we have a “could go either way” setup as price hovers at the lower boundary of a larger range.

Market Structure & Trade Setup:
✅ Bullish & Bearish triggers have fired – the market is indecisive
✅ Daily chart shows price dithering at the range low
✅ Next move? Either a range reversal to the highs or a breakout lower

Key Factors This Week:
✅ Political talks fueling uncertainty
✅ Start-of-the-month red flag news ahead
✅ Could be a choppy ride, but my hedge keeps me in control

Plan for the Week:
✅ Patience is key – I’m waiting for the next decisive move

Whichever direction price chooses, the system is ready—I’m hedged and simply waiting for the market to commit.

The bear swing from last week completed its move from the range highs to the range lows, confirming a bullish turn on Friday.

Trade Setup & Market Structure:
✅ Price tagged the lower Bollinger Band and reversed
✅ Multiple bullish pulse bars + V-shaped price action confirmed entry
✅ Final bear trades exited as the bullish move took over
✅ Hedge/bear triggers set below recent lows

Bullish Targets:
✅ Smaller range low from last week’s 30-min charts
✅ Next major levels: 6,000 and 6,140

Market News:
✅ President Trump hinted at a U.S. crypto reserve with five tokens
✅ Markets could get volatile this week as the impact unfolds

The bullish program is now in play, and it’s time to see if we can push to those upper range targets.

The bear swing is still running smoothly, and we’ve already cashed out on the first tranches of SPX and NDX income swings.

Current Market Setup:
✅ Price making lower highs & lower lows – bearish trend still intact
✅ VIX remains under 20 – no crash signals yet, but downside isn’t over
✅ SPX breakout target: 5820 – still room to move lower
✅ NDX has blasted past multiple targets from our Fast Forward Mentoring Call

I’ll be watching for price to climb above 5970 and form a V-pattern back into the prior range before flipping to bullish trades. That said, I’m taking a conservative approach this week since I’m heading off for a surprise trip to The Lakes for some hiking—so minimal trade adjustments while I’m off the grid!
