The pre-market divergence was a flashing neon sign that something big was coming—and boy, did we get it!

Market Breakdown:
✅ SPX: -1.71%
✅ DJX: -1.7% ‍☠️
✅ NDX: -2.06% ⚡
✅ RUT: -2.94% (but in reverse)

The bull hedge printed profits, the bear swing is moving along beautifully, and even my fat-finger trade from earlier in February turned out to be a winner.

After weeks of mind-numbing stagnation, the market finally gave us some action—proving once again that a solid trade plan (and maybe a little luck) pays off.

SPX continues to grind back and forth, confirming new ranges as quickly as it leaves the old ones. While other indexes have tumbled, the S&P clings on “by the bulls”, refusing to follow suit.

Current Market Setup:
✅ Bollinger Bands pinching again – signaling another tight range
✅ Other indexes are slipping, but SPX remains stubborn
✅ Waiting for a clean breakout instead of another fake move

For now, it’s another round of “hurry up and wait”, hoping the market loosens up soon.

SPX has officially broken out, reaching new all-time highs, while other indexes like DJX and RUT continue to struggle.

Market Overview:
✅ SPX breakout is in motion, targeting 6270
✅ Hedge trigger set at 6100 in case the move fails
✅ Bollinger Bandwidth is too tight, making Tag ‘n Turn setups too fast
✅ Instead, I’m relying on my 6 money-making patterns until volatility expands

For now, we wait—but this is the good kind of waiting—waiting for a profitable move to play out.

SPX is still stuck in limbo, and I’m waiting for the scenarios outlined earlier this week to play out. Patience is key—forcing trades leads to disaster.

Market Situation Right Now:
✅ No confirmed bullish or bearish entry just yet
✅ Price is stalling, but a move is coming
✅ Waiting for a clean trigger to jump in

While other traders panic and chase, I’m sitting back, letting the market come to me—because patience in trading = profit.

Markets are back in action after the long weekend, and I’m watching two key scenarios from the 6 money-making patterns.

Scenario #1 – The Breakout
✅ Friday teased a breakout, but prices meandered sideways
✅ I held off on a new bullish entry – waiting for a clearer signal

Scenario #2 – The Break-In (False Breakout)
✅ If price reverses back into the range, we could see a fakeout setup
✅ Think of it as a breakout failure, leading to an entry in the opposite direction

For now, I’m watching and waiting—tea in hand, biscuit in the other—until the market wakes up on Tuesday.

After what felt like an eternity of waiting, SPX has finally broken out of the range.
But the big question now—will we see a follow-through rally or another hard and fast Friday sell-off like we’ve seen in recent weeks?

Current Market Setup:
✅ SPX has popped out of the range
✅ Bear trades expire today—but didn’t quite hit the range lows
✅ Friday sell-offs have been common—but no guarantees today
✅ Next move? Either a fresh swing trade entry or a long romantic weekend

For now, we wait to see if history repeats itself with another Friday flush or if the market decides to finally hold gains.

SPX is compressing tighter than a coiled spring, leaving traders wondering when the breakout will come. From a commentary perspective, it’s dull. From a trading perspective, it’s a gold mine—as Theta decay continues to drip profits into our pockets.

Current Market Situation:
✅ Price is stuck in a tight range, waiting for a catalyst
✅ Overnight futures are offering no strong signals
✅ Despite the boredom, Theta decay is making the wait profitable

While we wait for the inevitable breakout, our positions keep generating income—no movement required.
