Thanks, I enjoy the accumulation of so much study and work more than the money. Few can understand the road that was walked to be able to do that consistently. Some day I'll probably lose my edge as it can be one hell of game to stay on top of it. It's why I'm a little prickly at times because there is always some new guy in this thread acting like an expert because he's been trading for a year and I suck at remembering this is the internet.
As an active trader, this doesn't have to be the big reversal to go back to trend. This is all about scaling in, positioning yourself big enough at the right time(s) for upward moves.not convinced
How? There is nothing special about the volume at that time. Is it because it broke through an established resistance after a previous attempt?
The title had me intrigued, but this guy's bio sold me. Will read the full article but looks like a long version of "bear down" - markets too detached from reality.

The minute chart has two previous attempts to break through overhead resistance in the last hour or two before Blazin's post.View attachment 394683
There's nothing really significant there except resistance from mid february.

It's never one thing, I watch so many inputs. I had made a post the other day about that subjective gut read of large amounts of data. Some people try to more strictly quantify a model with many inputs, I have always stuck to my intuitional read of many inputs. I watch individual names in certain sectors, counter asset movements, the vix, moving averages, volume, media as a contra indicator (including this thread). More than 50 different inputs that I study.Blazin
What gave your conviction this was the bounce? What was your QQQ entry point?
My last big SPY add was 428 on the big vwap reclaim before we rocketed off.

If you want to hone in on "one thing" for this one. Load up NFLX chart and take look at 11:20 till 12:30. There was a sentiment turn on an insane flush. This setup in NFLX on the 5m is by far my favorite pattern, classic double tap that doesn't go lower and recapture of previous hump. I'm like BUbbles in a room of 12yr asian boys, I just can't help myself on a setup like that. I flicked to several more names to check that I was satisfied they had hit my flush out goals and then jumped in.
