Monday’s bear swing wasn’t perfectly timed – but that didn’t matter.

I used a Bollinger Band breakout and got the trade on the fast move down this week.

Collected $3.00 in premium.
Buy-back filled at $0.30 mid-morning Friday.
That’s a 90% win on the trade.
Large directional moves help shorten time-to-profit.

With options income trades, you don’t need perfect entries – just a sound thesis and structure.

Now? I’m adding new positions and waiting on the rest to land.

Trump’s back, and so are tariffs, panic, and selloffs.

Gold is up. Bitcoin’s indifferent. SPX? Sliding fast.
I’m staying bearish below 5700, and going aggressive under 5500.
Overnight futures continue lower – steady and organised.
Income swing trades are paying off, with more add-in setups on deck.

GEX shows a potential floor around 5300, which may give us another Bulls Eye GEX Trade today.
I’ll reassess post-open and look to hammer through to Friday’s close.

Strategy: Sell rallies. Pulse bars. 10-min Bear Tag ‘n Turn setups.

Overnight futures dumped nearly 200pts post-Trump.

Looks like a “buy the rumour, sell the news” play – exactly what was forecast in the community.
My bearish bias below 5700 is holding strong – confirmed again by price action.
I’m stacking bear swings and adding aggressively below 5500 via pulse bars and 10-min Tag ‘n Turn setups.
GEX flip point has shifted to 5640, but I’m sticking with 5700 as my bull line – no need to mess with margins.
I’m watching closely at open – things could get spicy.
My bull swing hedge may de-risk, and new income trades are lining up.

Business as usual… with added downside flavour.

Still bearish below 5700 – nothing new, but still true.

Tuesday’s 0-DTE win kicks off April with some momentum.
March was slow, dull, and full of fake-outs – April shows promise.
Still scanning for bearish pulse bars, especially under 5500.
Will compound into existing bear swings as conditions ripen.
All eyes on Friday’s NFP report – could be the volatility trigger we’ve been waiting for.

Until then… long live the bear.

Monday opened with a gap down near 5500, rallied all day… and fooled the crowd.

I’m still bearish below 5700 – the bear flag failure, GEX flip, and pivot of truth.
These 1-day bounces have been a repeat performance over the past 6–8 weeks.
Financial media is drooling over a “double bottom” – again.
I’ve still got Bear Swing #1 active, and new 10-min Tag ‘n Turn shorts under 5500.
One trade I’d written off weeks ago just hit its target at Monday’s open.

Moral of the story? It ain’t over ‘til expiration.

Last Friday’s sell-off flipped my bullish bias to bearish – again.

The market broke below the bear hedge trigger, confirming a larger bear flag.
My new bear swing target sits at 5140, with 5700 as the pattern failure.
Overnight futures dropped nearly 1% – not a bullish look.
Gamma Exposure (GEX) is heavy on puts – expect accelerated downside through 5555.
This setup is eerily similar to 2022’s bear leg – and we may be repeating history.

I’m staying bearish through 5500 unless something drastic changes.
