Everything’s bullish after today’s Fed Announcement, and big moves like these tell us to look for RANGES tomorrow…
Ranges are easy if you know how to trade them – the key is waiting for a breakout, then do the OPPOSITE of what your instincts tell you!
Emini and Nasdaq made big moves higher today – I can’t chase the market higher, so I’m waiting for “bear trap” pullbacks, and failed range breakouts!
Crude Oil is bearish into a range, but look closely and you’ll see why this ‘fake-out breakout’ BEAR TRAP is my favorite trade for Thursday!
