Good afternoon, traders. It's Thursday, February 26th at 2:56 PM. Let's review our trade setups we had for today. We had Nvidia and we had IONQ. So Nvidia had earnings yesterday, it shot up a little bit into the close, and then this morning it came back. So if we look at this, we opened below, came back, and all the way down here to the 50 simple moving average, and this printer on 185.50. Level 3.3 million. We're sitting on that pretty much right now. So 182.81, 185.61 is 5.4 million shares here. Let's see if this is going to continue down. We might come down and test this print around 182. If we don't hold that, maybe 176 in the longer term. If this winds up holding, we're stuck in between some prints here for the day. So we were bullish above 199.50, bearish below 194.50. 199 50 never occurred. And so we were mapping this out back here. It came up to 199.40-something or whatever, 49, but never actually occurred. And that was around 4:40. And then so anyway, we pulled back. Let's get into it for the day. Bears below 194.50. So at the open here, we wound up coming down. 194.50 was around here for the entry point. That was, that was pretty much at the open. It tagged that before the open, and then right at the open it just shot down. And you can see there was increasing volume here. If you were able to take this pre-market, these are great setups. Look at this, 9:05, increasing volume here on the— in the morning. The pre-market is usually not that great, but anyway, you can see the volume candles increasing here. That's a great entry point. We couldn't hold my 200 simple, 200 exponential— that's the brown and the pink one. And that's the 50 simple that's there. And then the 4 and the 8 were starting to separate here, and then this just rocketed down. But this is, you know, when we're looking at prints, look at this consolidation here. These are all back February 10th, February 20th. 2, 4, 6, that's 8, 9.5, 9.7 million in this area. So this was a bit of a soft landing here, and then we came down and hugged this 3.9 million, 3.3 million around here. And so I had mapped this down to 190, which was a 1.9 million, and we tagged this one here at 935. And so we bounced off these prints, continued lower all the way down to a low of 184. So that was another 6 points. So what I usually mention, you'll hear me, I'm a broken record, All the time. If we're riding this 4 exponential moving average, there's no real reason to get out, right? If you're trading options, then you need to take, uh, as you're hitting the target, you've got to get out because when it bounces, then you've got, um, you lose a lot there. If you're trading directional options, you lose a lot on a bounce, right? And so anyway, this one came all the way down, and when you start seeing this sort of stuff and it's moving, it's like, well, where is your target? It is the next larger print. In that case, so when we broke down here, where would it go? It's that there's because the institutions control all of this, and so we played print pong from here back up to this 188 level, 2.2 million, and then back and forth and back and forth. So usually there's more prints in here. So the feature that we have coming out on on Monday is if you click this button here, is whatever you're trading. If this is enabled, prints as they come in are right on your chart. Look at this. Anything that's in orange are real-time prints that come in for the day, and you can see even though there were the larger trades here, you can see all of this that actually came in. And the good thing about this is, you know, when this starts breaking down, you have these prints and it's just continually going. And yeah, you can follow that along. This is really difficult here with the amount of volume and money that's here. So also, just so you're aware of that, this would have been a little bit more difficult to trade with all of that, seeing all of that come in. But when we have this and you're breaking below, well, where's the target? Is the next print or major dollar level, like a $5 level, $1, $2.50, depending on the price of the stock, right? So we're— this is print pong. Why we're not making a higher high, and in that case double top, and we're stuck in this range at the moment. And so we have increasing volume breaking down. It's already 3 o'clock, so into the last hour we can break below this 185 level with some increasing volume. Then where can we go? This S4, 184, 182.81. So if you're watching that, That would be helpful there. So Nvidia was a good trade on the downside. Let's go and look at IONQ. Okay, so IONQ, yeah, prints for the month on there, and we'll scroll back on here on the 5-minute. So IONQ, it did well on earnings, so we gapped up a little bit, and then we're sitting here with massive volume. On this, so we gapped above all of these prints, and we talked about that this morning in the video. Sold it down. We went sideways here since February sixth all the way through till earnings. So twenty days almost before this gap, and you can see all of this accumulation that was here. So this gapped up almost to the fifty simple moving average. This is all resistance here. If we can get above forty six, then sure, all of this will be. Support, and then you've got the institutional conviction. So we were bullish above, uh, $39. We had targets up to $41, $42, $43, $52. So $39, well, we broke $39 here, came up to $40 almost. Yeah, we came up to $40. Uh, $39.66. We pulled back to the, um, 39 area. And then at the open, we shot up to 41. That was one of our targets. We pulled back and then moved up, made a higher high. Now we're not holding this 41. That's an R4, Person's Pivot R4. This is really strong, the second test, and it's pulling back to the 50 simple moving average. So here's an example with this riding the 4 and the 8 exponential moving average, increasing volume. That's great. When it closes below the 4 exponential moving average. Some do at the 8, but the thing is, is it depends on where you get in and how far you want to run where your target is. But when this starts closing below those, then it's time to, time to get out. And we have this 4 and the 8 crossing right here. So you've got increasing volume on this one, right? You've got, you've got waning volume on the upside, right? So that there's not a lot of interest in that. And then you've got increasing volume starting to turn around. Good shorting opportunity when this candle closes and it starts breaking below. Then you've got, uh, you've got a trade down maybe to the 50 simple moving average. And here we can look at where the prints were for today by clicking this. And you can see we went sideways for a while. This is 250,000 over the course of the day. You can see where these actually came in, and that's, you know, you can see how we're snaking along this because the institutions are doing something, either accumulating or distributing. We'll see if we close below these and it starts to move below, then these are usually sells. But it looks like they're doing something with their share size at the moment. So yeah, we, the, uh, we got up to 41 there and we had mapped it out to 42 and then 43.52, which was our 5 if it continues. Okay, there you have it.
