Patterns To Watch

This Keeps Happening In The Market! The Next Move …

There’s a pattern that repeats in the market right now …

You probably haven’t heard of this phenomenon because Wall Street and the major media don’t pay attention to these setups.

Compared to the huge stocks that MSNBC covers, these plays are small potatoes.

But pay attention to this percent gain …

On Thursday of last week, June 26:

  • A stock with an $8.7 million market cap. spiked 720%*.

The next day, on Friday, June 27:

  • A stock with a $165 million market cap spiked 340%*.

And the next day, on Monday, June 30:

  • A stock with a $24 million market cap spiked 610%*.

Notice, the lower the market cap., the larger the spike.

For comparison, popular companies like NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) have market caps. of over $1 trillion!

Wall Street doesn’t care about these small stocks because there’s not enough liquidity for their multi-million dollar position sizes.

But for small account traders like you and me … These smaller plays are perfect.

We can buy as much or as little of the stock as we want (thanks to the cheap share price). And we can ride the percent gain for larger gains.

For example, look at my trade notes below from Thursday’s big runner:

The trade pattern that I used to profit … It’s the same pattern over and over again.

The Next Trade Setup

One of the best ways to prepare for these explosive moves is to study past runners.

It’s the same trade pattern over-and-over again …

That means the more times you see these trades, the quicker you’ll be able to capitalize.

I’m here to help!

So let’s get into it …

Runner #1

On Thursday of last week, June 26, Cyngn (NASDAQ: CYN) announced a collaboration with NVDA as part of an AI and robotics showcase.

The stock spiked 720%* that day.

Look at the price action below. Every candle represents one trading minute:

This was not a random move.

  • The stock announced news.
  • It had a low float to help the price spike higher.
  • The share price was low, so I could load up on shares.
  • The initial spike was big enough to catch my attention and it had a lot left in the gas tank.
  • And the high trading volume confirmed the stock’s popularity that day.

I’m not buying shares of random stock spikes.

There is a process for this.

Once I find a stock spike that has these factors … My goal is to take the meat of the move.

I know, it would be great to profit 700%* from CYN, but I have no way of knowing that the spike will reach that high.

Instead, it’s much safer to target smaller areas of price action within the larger spike.

I traded CYN twice on the day that it erupted. Look at my notes below:

My millionaire students and I find areas where the price action matches our patterns, then we get in and out for calculated trades.

More Breaking News

Let’s look at the next big runner for another example …

Runner #2

On Friday, June 27, WF Holding Limited (NASDAQ: WFF) started to rocket higher.

There wasn’t any news that day … But we only had to scroll back a few days earlier for the catalyst.

On June 24, the company announced a collaboration and a business pivot to include crypto currencies.

The stock spiked 150%* that day … But the real move came on June 27, a few days later.

The momentum built to a fever pitch.

And when the market opened on Friday, the stock was already on its way higher.

It spiked 340%* in total on Friday, June 27.

Cryptocurrency catalysts are hot right now because of the stablecoin bill that’s working its way through congress.

Look at the WFF spike below. Every candle represents one trading minute:

I traded this price action during the breakout before noon.

These are textbook trades.

I’m not gambling. I’m not holding and hoping that it goes higher …

I’m following a specific process for gains.

Runner #3

I’m not the only trader to recognize these plays either …

All of my students have an opportunity to trade these runners. Especially after I alert the setups in the chat beforehand!

Look at my screenshot from the Challenge chat below:

It’s the same pattern over-and-over again.

The more times that you see these spikes, the more confident you become when you’re trading them. It’s as simple as that.

Let’s look at BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (AMEX: BMNR)

On Monday, June 30, the company announced a $250 million private placement to initiate an Ethereum treasury strategy.

Ethereum is perhaps the second most popular cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin.

The stock spiked 610%* as a result of the news.

Look at the price action below. Every candle represents one trading minute:

I didn’t trade this price action … But that’s OK!

There will be another runner like this within the next few days.

The market is red hot right now.

Luckily some of my students found good positions after I posted about this stock at the beginning of the run.

Look at my post below:

And at least I didn’t have a short position … Look at the post below from a stubborn short seller who ignored my warnings.

These massive stock spikes are dangerous for short sellers.

Yes, the stock will crash eventually. But there’s no telling how high it will go before it crashes.

And as a short seller, there’s technically no limit to the amount of money you can lose.

Instead, look for my popular patterns and join me on the long side.

Pay attention!

The next +100% stock spike is right around the corner.

Cheers

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
