The bond market is not my wheelhouse and I'm not going to sit here and pretend it is. Everybody was asking me this morning what was driving the gap down and I don't have a good answer for you guys. Tariff threats maybe, bonds probably. I just trade what's in front of me. What was in front of me was the open, and the open was a mess. And the whole day was if you really think about it. The SPY gapped down, we flushed lower, and about sixty seconds in there was one enormous candle sitting there that looked like the start of something. It never really materialized, the SPY ended the day just down 0.29%. But if you chased the move lower, you got wicked out. So I’m going to share with you something to help avoid getting wicked out, doesn’t matter if are trading stocks or the

When a stock is parked near its highs going into earnings it's going to look for a breakout, that's just what they do, so I take a local low to high and that gives me $231 to $240 on the upside.

It shows you how much trading happened at every price level, stacked sideways on your chart like a bar graph turned on its side. Fat area, tons of shares changed hands there. Skinny area, almost nothing did. That skinny part is the thin zone. And we care about it because where nobody traded, nobody has a position to defend, so there's no pressure sitting there and price can just slice right through. It's a hallway with nobody standing in it. So you hear it constantly. Oh my God, there's a thin zone, this thing is going to rip. Okay. Now here's where people get it wrong. I pulled up Apple in the room today and I asked everybody, with volume profile analysis, what do you
