Yesterday’s upper range hypothesis paid to be patient – bear filter on poppers avoided choppy conditions perfectly
Overnight futures held yesterday’s lows, little movement, nothing new – yesterday’s viewpoint holds into today
Crude Oil at upper range highs – bear moves make sense until breakout
BB width moved from widest (trend) to narrowest (range) – discretionary override on bulls confirmed correct

New month post-Thanksgiving, futures down 0.5%-1% across 4 main indexes – nothing too serious but more than normal
BTC shit the bed pushing past -5%, last week’s rally = dead cat bounce, further bear moves likely
Pesky consolidation still not broken, near upper boundary, nothing new developing – line of least resistance back down
SPX still bullish but bearish below 6785, RUT more wiggle room but bearish below 2460 – NFP week incoming

We are bullish – SPX TnT fired Friday, cat’s whisker from upper BB target
RUT also fired bullish Friday, rampage higher, literally hugging upper Bollinger Band
Pro tip for strong trend: price hugs upper BB, width widens, lower BB points upward – seeing this on RUT
Back near middle of daily range after attempted break lower – max pain zone for bears getting stopped out

Monday push off range lows on dailies – Dow took break, lagging or leading next direction question
Gold cutting out range, potential rest from end of last month is reality
Crude oil coiled tight, ping pong opportunities (infrequent trading there)
Little change in landscape – more of same expected until something new happens
SPX TnT bullish nudging upper target, RUT TnT bullish, Uncle Russ starting to ride upper BB

Friday rally 3 for 3 on observation – no weekend news noise to bugger things up at Sunday futures open
Near lower end of range I’ve been banging on about – critical decision point for market
Pop lower = breakout territory more red ink, or push higher from range lows per 6 money making patterns
TnT bullish on SPX and RUT from Friday, stayed that way all day into close
Mag7 swings fabulous: META 1200% ROI, NVDA triple digit, AMZN 285%, NFLX making bank – cherry on top

Wrong fast multiple times: kinda right briefly, then wrong, then kinda right again, then wrong – then Pacino whoohaar
Expanding triangle on dailies hit another new high before explosion, “Yippie Ki-Yay mother fucker” from Nakamoto tower
Growing pressure for mindset chats: don’t know when good times come but they do with proven data-backed strategy
NVDA cast into fires of Mordor, holders dreams melt (at least briefly, dip buying opportunity sets up)
RTY 10% down leading, NQ close second, ES/YM past 5% – Friday turnaround #3 or real correction?

NVDA earnings: Only +5% despite all the whoohaar – not negative (house of cards survives) but not exciting
Indexes daily charts remain disinterested, gold’s push higher fizzled, crude oil in slump
VIX drops slightly but in context nothing really has changed… yet!
SPX and RUT currently bullish but seen this before over last few weeks – tight leash wise
Software major overhaul complete, cleaner look, awaiting opening bell with baited breath

Big wicks both sides winding me up as much as you – feels like someone made deal with devil to mess with you
Three questions: Is it me? System? Market conditions? If following system, it’s likely devil cursed conditions
Trade through it – seen this before, diversify markets/timeframes, 4hr avoiding 30min noise
Premium/Lazy Poppers, crude oil, gold all working – more than one way to crack a nut
Indexes finally moving together bearishly, VIX high (not out of wood chipper), NVDA earnings today

Monday’s stand aside decision vindicated – would have been mixed outcome and net loss
Penny saved is penny earned – avoiding loss equals profit, narrow range didn’t materialise but decision was right
Overall bear move from daily range highs to lows playing out nicely, futures trades now looking healthy
TnT trades flipping – SPX about to flip bullish to bearish, RUT already flipped bearish
In and out frustrating but small loss now better than hold and hope for wrong direction

Friday pattern repeated: big sell off, bigger turnaround, but less dramatic bull reaction this time
Very little premarket futures activity suggests excitement faded, narrow range day expected
Big wick assessment potentially completing – consolidation likely
SPX and RUT both bullish on usual entry timeframes, theta collection mode active
AVWAP from swing low continuing to serve as management tool (worked well last week)
