This 2-Sided Strategy Could Make Our Entire Week

A two-sided trading plan for OPEX Friday as major news and volatility loom. With markets range-bound but slightly bullish, traders should watch for breakouts, bear traps, and range rotations to capitalize on moves in the Nasdaq and S&P.

The video outlines a tactical game plan for a volatile Friday session driven by OPEX, key economic data (PCE, personal income, consumer sentiment), and potential Supreme Court tariff news.

Joseph James notes markets are currently two-sided but slightly bullish, with buyers holding momentum on higher time frames. However, major news could quickly reverse direction, so traders should prepare for both bullish and bearish scenarios.

Key strategies discussed include:

  • Trading range rotations and breakout-pullback setups

  • Using bear traps and bull traps around support/resistance zones

  • Watching measured-move targets and breakout pullback zones

  • Prioritizing patience and waiting for confirmation before entries

The S&P and Nasdaq show range-bound conditions with opportunities on both sides. Traders are advised to stay flexible, focus on key levels, and exploit volatility created by news catalysts and options expiration.
