On Thursday last week, January 29, just as the market was closing, I alerted a trade setup for a small-cap biotech stock that had halted upward …
Here’s part of the alert I sent out:
3:55 P.M. ET: Spiker to watch afterhours lets see how far it can go.
The stock was already on a multi-day run that made new 52-week highs. And I figured the price could explode upwards into after hours due to the increasingly vertical price action intraday.
If only I could find a good entry before it took off …
4:01 P.M. ET: Potential dip buy for followup squeeze, it could be fast.
The price dipped the first three minutes of after hours, eventually touching $5.40 per share.
That was plenty of time to build a position, and it was above support from intraday price action. The chart matched my pattern perfectly!
Over the next 14 minutes, the price surged 156%* higher.
I caught 44% of the move.
That’s more than 2.5x the gain of the S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) in 2025. And I did it in a matter of minutes …
When we target the best price action in the market, we don’t have to wait for measly investments to mature.
How To Trade a Huge Stock Spike
As I mentioned, this stock was already on a multi-day run that pushed to new multi-day highs.
Adlai Nortye Ltd. (NASDAQ: ANL) didn’t announce any news. And it’s a sketchy small-cap biotech stock that previously sank lower and lower, month after month.
The recent bullish price action is most likely short sellers blowing up as they try to guess the top.
And during after hours on January 29, this short-squeeze pressure cooker exploded higher.

I bought at $5.85 per share and sold at $8.43.
And I left a lot on the table … The price ran all the way to $13.87.
This was a classic dip buy pattern that turned into a massive breakout. I’ve seen countless examples already in 2026. And anyone who paid attention to the chat had an opportunity to make this trade.

This won’t be the last stock to follow my patterns.
I’ve been doing this for more than two decades, with $7.9 million in profits and over 50 millionaire students who use the exact same process.
The Next Trade
Show up for after-hours trading in the market.
Premarket hours are also extremely volatile right now, but it’s early in the morning, nobody likes to wake up early. Plus, the differing times that brokers open can mess with the momentum.
If you need to sleep through premarket, fine. But make sure to show up before the closing bell at 4 P.M. ET.
It’s a key psychological time frame in the market, and lately we’ve seen a lot of after hours spikes that dwarf the regular-hour moves.
- Stop logging off early.
- Start following the strongest trade setups every day.
- Work toward a worry-free financial future.
My students and I take it one trade at a time. And we recycle the same patterns over and over again on the next hottest stock.
Get in the chat before the next trade hits!
Cheers
