Thought of the day
One of the biggest hurdles for new traders isn’t finding setups; it’s patience.
How are you supposed to hold your winners for multi-week or multi-month moves when every little 2–3% pullback shakes you out? Too often, newer traders dump exposure on normal reactions—even when the trades are still in trend and acting fine—simply because the stress of giving back profits or seeing a red EC day feels unbearable.
The solution? Zoom out. Define in advance what’s normal versus what’s broken. If the trend and structure are intact, a red day is the cost of holding a winner, not a sell signal. Then shift the focus: work on the process, review your setups, and get that damn P&L off your screen.
Patience isn’t passive—it’s discipline.

MARKET ANALYSIS
Good evening,
Price bounced off the rising 21dma-structure.
MCSI follow-through on the hook-down today - breadth contracting again.
Breadth extensions hooked down follow-through and resulted in very short-term oversold intraday conditions.
TLMM Model = Pullback
This market is reaching an exciting spot, with QQQE bouncing right off the 21-day moving average structure, and NQ holding the potential support area we discussed over the last few days. With very short-term breadth hitting oversold levels intraday, that’s pretty much the continuation setup I like to play and engage.
Is this pullback finished? I have no clue, but what I know is that the market is entering a rising 21-day moving average structure. Liquid Leaders are exhibiting some constructive action (for the most part), with higher lows right at their daily structures, and an ‘oops’ reversal-type action today. So that’s my edge, and I need to execute while keeping my risk tight on those new positions.
If the market failed to follow through on that bounce tomorrow, then we might be in for some more weakness and a more extended pullback into next week.
Cautiously optimistic is my mindset here.
Cheers,

MARKET INTERNALS
Retest of the daily structure. Good spot for potential reversal. We don’t want to see a reclaim from here.
Tried to breakout above recent swing high, but failed and close weak. Tomorrow is pivotal for either a reversal, or push higher which would indicate potential further weakness and longer pullback.
/BTC (Bitcoin)
Hard rejection of the daily-structure retest. It’s living below the declining 21dma-structure, and lagging the market for a while. Need more time to setup.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
Hey guys!
This market is getting to a very, very interesting spot, with QQQE bouncing right off the 21dma-structure, and NQ holding the potential support area we discussed for the last few days. With very short-term breadth hitting oversold levels intraday, that’s pretty much the conitnuation setup I like to play and engage. I was able to get pretty tight entries this morning in a couple of names, along some strength to de-risked at 2R target, so I build some exposure today.
Is this pullback finished? I have no clue...but what I know is the market is getting into rising 21dma-structure, Liquid Leaders having some constructive action (for the most part) with higher lows right at their daily-structures with oops reversal type of action today....So that’s my edge, and I need to execute while keeping my risk tight on those new positions.
Let’s see if we can follow through on that bounce tomorrow and confirm some daily reversal pivot reclaim. (NQ & names like NVDA,ANET, SNOW, AMD, etc)
