February 9, 2025 Volume 113 "Blow The Whistle Edition"

Super Duper

Super Bowl Sunday is finally here, and there is really only one thing people care about…

Will the refs and Chiefs continue to cheat like they are US Senators investing the stock market, or will Gillie da King be “Blowing The Whistle” all night long?

As we move in to the week ahead there continues to be storm clouds in the forecast. Trump ended last week threatening “reciprocal tariffs” to which the market reacted ridiculously once again, but it has become clear that tariffs make the market scared. Trump plans to talk about those on Monday or Tuesday. We also have Daddy Powell testifying before Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday, along with the regular overload of data and earnings still packing the calendars.

Now is a time to really lock in on your risk management. If you take profit at 30% you better be cutting things when you are down -30% as well. However, too many people will sell something for 15% gain and cut something at -80% loss, and that just doesn’t make sense. You will lose, it is part of trading, but minimizing losses is extremely important. It is much easier to cut a loser early and re-enter than it is to bring something back to profitable from a big red number.

The weeks will continue to be volatile. Buy VIX calls with time anytime it gets in to the 14s. Learn about inverse leveraged ETFs for downside protection like SQQQ. Expand your knowledge, put in the work, and you will be able to navigate through this market. If you just do the same old thing you are likely to get blown up.

The Stack is packed for the week ahead. Let’s get to the charts and trade ideas so that we can start tailgating!

My Charts

Over Green line = Entry for Calls

Under Red line = Entry for Puts

Dotted or Solid Blue line = Price Targets

Purple line = Dark Pool

Blue Boxes = Demand Zones

Red Boxes = Supply Zones

Price targets are not the same as option strikes.

Price targets are where I believe the chart can/will go.

The strikes I suggest are what I think provide the best risk/reward to make money.

Let’s BANK!

W

W 0.00%↑ daily picture perfect consolidating wedge pattern. This is a pretty easy setup that can work nicely as W contracts move well up and down. The lower trendline holds and we bounce or we lose the trendline and breakdown lower. Here’s my plan for the week ahead.
