Hey Market Pilot,Recently I have been talking about one of my best setups, the Trampoline Move, showing itself on the daily chart of the gold miner exchange-traded fund (ETF) known as GDX. The Trampoline Move is a high-energy, high buoyancy trade that shoots price higher after a dip. When I saw this form on the daily chart, I knew we were in for something good. Since I was seeing the signal in GDX, I figured gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) would probably be in a similar configuration and indeed they … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, An exchange traded fund (ETF) that I like to keep tabs on is the IBD 50 (FFTY). Part of the reason I follow it is because it moves in a similar fashion to the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). When trading, we could use all the clues we can get our hands on.  Back around August, I made a specific video for the Moxie Indicator™ subscribers about one particular clue I was seeing in the FFTY. That ETF started to shape up, test support, and move strongly before … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, Yesterday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held a meeting. Promptly afterward the market rocketed to a new all-time high after already doing that for two weeks. This is a bit of bullish insanity. I am hard-pressed to find a time where the market has moved like this after a major pullback and didn’t at least “tag up” to test near-term support. Initially, I thought I was late to the party — had to fight FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) —  and so I waited for that … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, On the heels of Tesla (TSLA), Lucid (LCID), and Bloom Energy (BE) having explosive moves, I have been seeing names which support the electric vehicle (EV) space starting to warm up. We know Plug Power (PLUG) has started to move in earnest, but here are a few others. If you are interested in seeing how we play them, take a look at the Moxie Indicator™ alert service. Blink Charging (BLNK) is pictured below. Arrival (ARVL) is pictured below. Beam Global (BEEM) is pictured below. Gevo Inc (GEVO) … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, When the market catches a trend with energy, it can take a while for things to shift. Especially if you missed the move and have to wait for the next train to arrive. This is mostly the situation I find myself in with the markets being at all-time highs. Taking anything on the long side would be very risky at this point since most stocks follow the indexes and the next direction I am looking for is down. Therefore I want to be protected on the long … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, I am curious how many people will be buying the market because news headlines from last weekend will say, “Market hit new all-time high.’ People will think this is amazing and a clear sign of market strength so they should get in… Only to have the market most likely drop lower on them. The market is shifty like that. Reaching the previous high was like a magnet for price, especially as it crawled up the last few days. In the screenshot below, you can see how price … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, The indexes have been on a strong rally the last few days and the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq (QQQ) have pushed higher than I originally expected. This had me looking around at the last time we saw something similar which was October of 2020. The chart patterns are remarkably similar, but with two differences I will point out. To begin with, in the similarities pictured below you can see both time periods have had price cross over a flat daily 50 simple moving average (SMA). The … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, When the market started pulling back a few weeks ago and we started to lose key support on the daily time frame, it meant that we then had to look at the weekly chart for support. I spent time discussing with the Moxie Indicator™ members and other outlets that the weekly 21 exponential moving average (EMA) was likely to be support and price should bounce there. The question that remained was what would happen after that bounce? In the screenshot below, you can see the S&P 500 … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, What do we do during this time of quick drops and fast rallies if all you are interested in is trading to the long side? Well, you look around and build a list of names that could be the leaders on the next leg up.  One way that I like to do that is simply by looking at charts and observing which tickers have held up the best during the market decline. This would imply they have relative strength and are likely to be the next solid … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, Last week the S&P 500 (SPY) was able to hammer out a bottom at the weekly 21 exponential moving average (EMA), which was something I was looking for. But I have been guiding traders that it’s what comes after that bounce that will determine the next major move. If the SPY is able to do some wiggling around and continue to find support after the bounce off the weekly 21 EMA, then we could see the long trend resume sooner than later. But if the bounce is … Read more
