The market tried to scare everybody yesterday. It did not work. The SPY opened up around 743, then fell off a cliff all the way down to 723. That is a 20-point swing in a single day, a full 3% from high to low, with the VIX sitting at 20 like nothing was wrong. If you were holding stock through that, it was ugly. Green to red, red to worse, your stomach in your throat all afternoon. I was not holding through it. I was trading it. And that is the whole difference. Here is what I told my room while it was happening. This is a trend break, but it is not the easy kind. Back at the end of 2025, the market cracked because the momentum had already bled out of it.

It's takeoff — the moment we commit and leave the ground — that's what I white-knuckle through. I flew overnight to France last week, and yesterday I was trackside at the Monaco Grand Prix with a glass of champagne at rooftop party, watching cars commit to corners most people would brake into. Somewhere between the flight over and that race, it hit me that this is exactly how most people trade. They're not afraid of being in the trade. They're afraid of getting in. So they wait for a stock to feel safe, and "safe" usually means they wait for it to fall. Here's what I see constantly, and I want to talk you out of it. We're in bullish
