Happy New Year!
The market is closed today.
Take some time to nurse yourself back to health after last night’s festivities. Drink your electrolytes, take a nap, maybe find a sauna …
Because tomorrow it’s back to business. And the volatility isn’t quitting in this market.
Yesterday, December 31, my students and I watched as a low float medical-equipment stock spiked 180%*.
It followed my patterns perfectly.
Like all of the strongest runners right now, it spiked with a solid catalyst. The company announced a new manufacturing partnership that morning, during premarket hours.
There’s a new stock spiking higher every day right now. And that translates to opportunities for intraday trading gains.
I’m still watching the runner from Wednesday!
With a float of only 947k shares, this stock could squeeze a lot higher in the next few days.
Trade These Stocks In 2026
The patterns never change.
The market changes every day. New tickers, new headlines, new hype. But the framework my students and I use to trade is the same I’ve used for over two decades.
These patterns endure because the market is a mirror for human emotion.
Greed, fear, panic, euphoria, those emotions never go away. They repeat in cycles. And that’s exactly why these patterns keep working. Every time a low-float stock gets a hot catalyst, traders pile in with the same emotional reactions.
They chase. They panic. They repeat history.
When you understand the framework, you don’t have to predict the future. You just recognize behavior that’s already played out hundreds of times before.
Whether it’s a morning spike, a panic dip buy, or a first green day setup, these are just reflections of human psychology on a chart.
And here’s the best part: You don’t need a huge account to capitalize on these setups.
I started small. So did my top students. And it’s still possible today because we’re not trading $300 blue chips.
We’re trading cheap, fast-moving stocks that can spike 50%, 100%, even 300% in a single session.
When a $1 stock doubles, that’s a huge percentage move. And it helps small accounts grow fast if you manage risk like a sniper, instead of a gambler.
You don’t need to swing for home runs. You just need to trade with discipline, cut losses quickly, and take singles when the patterns show up.
A single on a 100% stock spike could be a 10% gain intraday.
Tomorrow, when the market opens for the first trading day of 2026, I’ll be ready to apply this same framework again.
Don’t miss the first setup of the new year.
My Top Watch On January 2
The biggest runner from Wednesday, December 31, is still at the front of my mind.
During premarket hours that morning, Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: INBS) announced a strategic manufacturing partnership to expand production of its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening Reader.
The deal boosts INBS’s manufacturing capacity by 4x, cuts annual production costs by over 40%, and is projected to improve gross margins by about 20%.
The move positions INBS to scale operations more efficiently and strengthen profitability as demand grows.
With a float of only 947k shares, a catalyst with this kind of credibility has the opportunity to squeeze share prices much higher than Wednesday’s 180%* run.
On the chart below of INBS, every candle represents one trading minute:
I alerted this setup for students in the Challenge chat too.

Notice the strong sideways consolidation on the chart. That’s a key characteristic of the bullish momentum that we like to trade.
Some of the strongest patterns have sideways consolidation like this …
And in 2026, INBS is the first stock in a long line of runners that will continue to follow these patterns.
This is the year you take control of your account with a trading process that works.
