Volatility returns.... what this means, HOW to use it

Studying your focus list, watchlist and traction for KEY INFO

Volatility was back today, igniting divergence in the markets. Under the hood it wasn’t that easy.

Indexes flexed impressive strength, but beneath the surface, I spotted some turbulence—pivot failures, squats, and widespread underperformance stealing the show.

Consolidation gripped the portfolio once again, but the spotlight shone on META, which finally closed above the critical 700 level—a bullish breakout!

Our bitcoin position also held its ground, clinging to its breakout move despite a nice intraday shakeout.

Tomorrow could see fireworks with the CPI report dropping premarket.

We’ve got some great ideas on the setups list, but I’m holding out for stronger signals from the watchlist before ramping up exposure.

Watchlist feedback is my secret weapon for situational awareness, and right now, it’s flashing mixed signals with heightened volatility swirling around pivots.

This nudges me toward a more defensive stance in the near term, with index resistance looming.

As always, we’ll laser-focus on our portfolio and focus list to guide our exposure.
