Well I must say I'm a bit surprised how perfect this setup is becoming here so I'll do a little thread on this as $BTC/$IBIT is a really classic cup w handle. Looking at the spot chart this looks really constructive as volatility is contracting from left to right during this…

The second quarter of 2025 was one for the history books. After a sharp 12.1% correction in the S&P 500, the index staged its fastest-ever recovery from a 15% drop, finishing the quarter up 10.6% – its strongest showing since Q4 of 2023. That type of V-shaped recovery…

Tactics commentary using $IBIT/BTC as a working example... Aggressive trading tactics has not been working of late, at least for me. Any aggressive add(s)/buys or pressing of positions has cost me on balance over the past 3-6 weeks. While this can be frustrating it is normal.…

If your trading has been challenging lately, take a closer look at the IBD 50 Index and the IBD Mutual Fund Index. Both have merely bounced off their lows and have failed to even get above their declining 200-day moving averages. That tells the real story: the broader market is…

Hindsight is always crystal clear—but our future is forged in the present moment. Effective risk management happens in real-time. If you neglect this ongoing process and allow yourself to be influenced by hindsight and Monday-morning quarterbacking, your future will inevitably…

I think $IBIT/BTC is a good proxy for this entire market here as its been tough to find any low risk spots to get on board this V-shaped recovery. In this case I've held a core position so wasn't in a hurry and still would like to add if we can get a 'right side'. The real tell…

Moody’s just downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from its top-tier Aaa to Aa1. This has only happened twice before, both of which led to volatile market reactions: 8/1/23 - Fitch downgrade 8/5/11 - Standard & Poor's downgrade Here's what to expect this time 👇
