Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
So the newswires are shouting: “Tech trade restrictions sank the market!”
Sure. Maybe.
But let’s be honest… the charts told us first.
Price was already rolling over before the news broke. We were already bearish. Already short. Already pressing the button on our 0-DTE trades while the financial press was still sipping their morning lattes.
This is the part they never tell you: price always moves before the headlines catch up. We’re not reactionary traders. We follow the playbook.
We saw the Wolfe Wave forming. We tracked ADD. We noted the GEX flip levels. Then we followed the system that pays.
And boom – “Dive, dive, dive!” – down went price, as expected.
Let’s unpack it all…

SPX Is Rigged… In Your Favour (If You Know This).
The markets move. You get paid. No stress. No surprises.
Same Setup, Same Dive
The official line today? “Markets under pressure due to U.S. restricting tech exports to China.”
But here’s the kicker:
- That move was already in play before the headlines hit
- Price gave us the clues. The Wolfe Wave showed up. The setup formed. We followed it.
We weren’t waiting around for CNBC to tell us what to do.
- We assessed the chart.
- Watched ADD for extreme or exhaustion.
- Noted GEX flip zones – 5400 remains the pivot, 5275 now key pin zone.
We punched the button, confirmed the setup, and let the trade do its thing.
Price dipped, just like we prepped for. Boom – another trade down.
Still Bearish? Yep.
- I remain bearish under 5400.
- 5000 is still the active Wolfe Wave target.
- Tag ‘n Turn developing, but I want confirmation – either above 5400 or down near 5000.
- ADD remains soft – not full extreme, so we might pause or bounce here.
- That bounce? Could be the next bear entry. Or it could be noise before the plunge resumes.
Either way – we follow the process.
No guessing. No chasing headlines. No panic.
Just running the system that pays.

- 5275 is the interesting level for today
Expert Insights: Common Trading Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
❌ Chasing the News
Many traders wait for a headline to validate a move… only to realise the move already happened. By then, the edge is gone.
✅ Let Price Be First
The chart will always give you a clue before the news hits. Use pulse bars, GEX flips, and our money-making patterns to anticipate – not react.
Fun Market Fact: The News Often Follows the Move
In 2007, Bloomberg ran a headline saying, “Stocks Rise on Strong Earnings,” at 10:31am.
Problem? The S&P 500 had already reversed lower at 10:12am – a full 19 minutes earlier.
By the time the headline hit, the move was already done.
This isn’t an isolated thing – it’s how financial media works. They report after the fact and assign reasons to explain the move.
We don’t need explanations. We need setups.
We follow price, not headlines.
Happy trading,
Phil
