ALL GAS NO BRAKES
I’m currently on my way to Manchester, England for the next week, but before heading out I spent all of Thursday dissecting my thoughts and running back my favorite show.
ALL GAS NO BRAKES | Ep. 4
This series started as a once-a-month deep dive.
But when markets get messy, more isn’t optional - it’s essential.
Context of this "Messy" Price Action is.....
1.) We're in a Bull Market
2.) October is typically Volatile
3.) Markets tends to bottom in October
4.) Fed is in a cutting cycle— Larry Thompson, CMT CPA (@HostileCharts)

Not many people out there are giving you that kind of context for free — let alone 20 charts in a week, or even a month.
Those who support what I’m building deserve the same clarity and context that others pay hundreds, sometimes thousands, to access.
All I ask in return is that you share it with a friend who might benefit from a little extra context, because that’s how good analysis spreads.
Believe it or not, in a healthy bull market, the hardest thing to do is usually nothing.
It’s when volatility rises and breadth weakens that the real work begins.
In this episode, I cover:
The major indexes and market structure
Sector rotations and leadership trends
Breadth and volatility signals
A few setups I’m watching into next week
Long story short: the market is loud right now.
Earnings season is heating up, and traders are getting tossed around by the noise.

No need to play hero ball.
Define your risk.
Trade what’s in front of you, not what you hope comes next.
The market WILL resolve.
Not a matter of IF, but WHEN.
I’ll keep an eye on things from across the pond and post updates as needed.
Until then, stay disciplined and focused on process over prediction.
Cheers,
