Action Plan for the Next Big MoveThe Canadian Dollar (CAD) is trading around 0.725, caught in a rare balance where clear conviction is elusive and volatility appears to be compressing, beneath the surface, the stage is set for a potentially explosive move. With the Bank of Canada set to announce its policy decision next week and trade issues with the US still simmering, the market feels poised for a major breakout, even as the immediate backdrop remains subdued. Fundamental Analysis: Waiting Game with Trade Tension All eyes are on the Bank of Canada’s upcoming decision. The policy rate, having dropped to 2.75% after a string of seven cuts, now stands at its lowest level in nearly three years. The latest inflation print (1.7%) supports a cautious stance, and the market is pricing in a 70% chance of no change. Yet, this calm could be deceptive: should inflation slip further or job data disappoint, talk of renewed easing will return quickly. Canada’s deep trade relationship with the United States means any change in tariff policy is especially consequential. Although a US court recently ruled in favor of Canada, experts warn that the broader tariff debate is far from over. Any fresh escalation or, conversely, an easing of trade tensions could move the CAD sharply in either direction. Meanwhile, a mild rebound in oil prices adds some support, but the real driver remains policy and politics. For now, fundamentals argue for patience, with no strong directional bias until the next catalyst emerges. Technical Analysis: Tight Range, But Pressure Is Building Price action has settled into a well-defined range after the sharp volatility of late May. The contract retreated to the point of control at 0.7220, absorbing liquidity and confirming this zone as reliable short-term support. On the upside, repeated failures above 0.73, including rejection wicks earlier this week, highlight strong resistance and a market not yet ready to commit to a sustained trend. Despite the lack of a decisive move, this compression phase often precedes an outsized breakout, especially with macro catalysts on the horizon. Sentiment Analysis: Crosswinds, Not Clarity Institutional flows show a recent uptick in short positions on the CAD, while retail sentiment appears balanced to slightly bullish CAD (short USD/CAD), reflecting indecision. The VIX, now close to its annual average, signals that risk appetite is neutral, there’s little evidence of panic or euphoria. This cocktail leaves the CAD without a clear consensus but suggests that when conviction returns, the move could be sharp. Listed Options Analysis: Pin Risk, Gamma Potential, and the Calm Before Volatility The monthly options board reveals significant open interest in calls clustered between 0.7350 and 0.74 for the next expiration, the 6th of June, while downside protection is less pronounced. Implied volatility, though lower than recent extremes, remains elevated compared to historical averages, and there’s a mild bias toward downside hedges. If spot moves above 0.73, options dynamics could quickly flip, fueling an upside acceleration toward 0.7350 or even higher, as dealers are forced to chase delta hedges. A pin at these strikes is possible if the move is not explosive, but a genuine breakout could be dramatic. Trade Idea: Flexibility Over Forecasting With so many crosscurrents and volatility compressing, the market appears primed for a breakout. Rather than forcing a directional bet, the most rational approach is to prepare for both outcomes with clear levels. Bullish Breakout Scenario Entry: Buy above 0.7320 (daily close or strong breakout confirmation) Stop: 0.7245 (below recent support) Target 1: 0.7395 (OI cluster) Target 2: 0.7500 (psychological level) Bearish Breakdown Scenario Entry: Sell below 0.7220 (daily close or strong breakout confirmation) Stop: 0.7310 (above the prior resistance) Target: 0.7145 (recent lows/retail stops) Rather than predict, this approach lets price action dictate. Volatility may be low for now, but context argues that a range breakout, especially to the upside, could be sudden and violent given options positioning and macro uncertainty. With policy on pause, trade headlines pending, and options open interest suggesting magnetic levels higher, the CAD sits on the edge of potential. As volatility compresses, the market’s indecision is itself the clearest signal: the next major move, when it comes, is likely to be fast and fueled by positioning. Flexibility, not bias, is the trader’s greatest edge in this environment. Be ready for it. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

Nasdaq Bulls Back in the Fight – 21K Is the Battlefield📍 The 21K Line in the Sand – Nasdaq’s Second Chance Setup The bounce off the purple EMA was no joke — big reaction, and now we’re reclaiming key structure: back above VWAP (red), white EMA, and even the weekly pivot (straight orange line). That pivot zone at 21K is still the line in the sand. I do expect a potential breach — maybe even a quick liquidity sweep — but if buyers step in with momentum and reclaim, I’m interested in longs again. ⚔️ This is a momentum shift — structure's back in favor of bulls, and until we lose 21K with conviction, I’m treating dips into that area as buyable. 📍And if price overreacts? I’m watching 20,750 as a “second chance” zone. Strong bounce there before — I’m not ignoring that twice. This is still a two-sided game, but for now, bulls are back in position. Let’s see if they hold the line.

BTC Short analysis + GRID Bot Scalper Strategy for BTC FuturesHELLO DEAR TRADERS, If you're reading this right now, consider yourself one of the lucky few. You're gaining access to insights that, until now, have remained exclusive — reserved for a very small circle of insiders and influencers. For a long time, we've hesitated to step into the spotlight and reveal the deeper truth behind the movements of financial markets. But everything comes in due time… and that time is getting closer. Have you ever wondered how figures like Trump or Elon Musk always seem to bet on the right horse? Many believe they're the ones moving the markets — but that’s far from the truth. The real secret? Their teams have access to advanced tools and knowledge — the right kind of science — to analyze the markets in ways most people can’t even imagine. We won't go into too much detail here — some information is too powerful (and risky) to be shared publicly. But remember this: "Trading is a game. And if you know the rules, you always play to win." Starting today, we’ll be introducing a completely new vision of how to trade the financial markets — or any asset whose price is reflected on a chart. Get ready to see the markets like never before. 🔥 Scalping Made Simple: The Power of GRID Bots If you're serious about scalping the markets, one of the most effective tools at your disposal is the GRID trading bot. When properly configured, it can deliver consistent, automated profits by executing micro-trades around the clock. Let’s be real: Sitting in front of charts all day, hunting for the perfect sniper entry, is not just exhausting — it’s inefficient. Why not let automation do the heavy lifting while you focus on strategy? ________________________________________ ⚙️ AUTO SCALPER MODE: ON (SHORT TERM BOT Here are the optimal parameters to configure your GRID BOT on Binance for effective scalping: 🔧 Recommended Settings: o Trading Pair: BTC/USDTP (futures GRID) o Mode: Grid Trading (long) o Price Range: 105000 – 112000 USDT o Current leverage : x18 o Number of Grids: 22-25 levels o Order Size: Depends on your capital) o Profit Mode: Arithmetic o Margin mode : isolated o Trailing up : Disabled o Take-Profit: 112000 o Stop-Loss: 104000 o Open a position on creation : Disabled o Close all position on stop: Enabled o Close all positions on TP/SL stops: Enabled 📌 Notes : ⚠️The settings listed aboce have been meticulously calculated using precise algorithmic models. Every parameter serves a purpose — and even the slightest deviation can significantly impact performance, potentially leading to capital loss. ⚠️Do not judge the bot’s performance based on its real-time PNL. The true profit is only realized once the bot reaches its target and closes all active orders. ⚠️These bots are designed with high-level precision, offering a powerful edge when configured and used correctly. ✋ Manual Entries (For Experienced Traders) If you're a more advanced trader, you can combine the GRID bot with manual entries based on: o Buy orders listed on the chart o You can enter a buy position at any price within the defined range on the chart — as long as the price does not break above the upper boundary of that range o Using leverage is possible, but only under one condition: -Your stop-loss and liquidation price must always remain below the highest protected low or in the SL area o Your stop loss should always be bellow the highest protected Low 🔍 Disclaimer: This is our personal analysis and not financial advice.

Trading Gold? Know the Difference Between XAU/USD and Futures🔎 Let’s address a question I get very often: “Should I trade spot gold (XAU/USD) or Gold futures?” It might sound like a technical decision, but it’s actually about how you approach the market, your risk profile, and your experience level. So let’s break it down 👇 ________________________________________ 🟡 Two ways to trade the same asset Both spot and futures allow you to speculate on the price of Gold. But they’re two very different beasts when it comes to execution, capital, and strategy. ________________________________________ 1️⃣ Spot gold (XAU/USD) • Traded mostly via Forex brokers or CFD platforms • No expiration — you can hold the position as long as you want • Often used by retail traders for day trading or swing setups • You can open small trades (even 0.01 lots) • Costs include spread, swap fees if you hold overnight • Leverage is usually high — up to 1:100 or more • Margin is required, but typically lower than in futures 💡 Spot is flexible and accessible, but you pay the price through overnight holding costs, wider spreads during volatility, and slippage. On some brokers, especially during high-impact news, your platform might even freeze or delay execution — and that’s a serious risk if you’re not prepared. ________________________________________ 2️⃣ Gold futures (GC) • Traded on major futures exchanges like CME • Contracts have a fixed size (usually 100 oz) • They expire monthly, so you need to manage rollovers • Common among hedge funds and experienced traders • You pay commissions and exchange fees, but no swaps • Margin is required here too — but it's much higher 💡 Futures are structured and professional — but they demand more capital, stricter execution discipline, and higher margin requirements. Just like in spot trading, margin is a collateral deposit, not a cost — but with futures, the bar is set higher. ________________________________________ ⚖️ So, which one is for you? If you're using MetaTrader or any platform offered by a Forex/CFD broker, and you're a scalper, intraday, or swing trader working with flexible position sizes... → You're probably better off with spot gold (XAU/USD). If you're trading big volume, managing diversified portfolios, or involved in hedging large exposure... → You should consider futures — but expect to level up your game, capital requirements, and discipline. ________________________________________ 🧠 Mindset: Don’t confuse accessibility with simplicity. Just because spot Gold is easier to open doesn’t mean it’s always the best choice. Just because futures look “pro-level” doesn’t mean they’re always worth it for a retail trader. Understand your tools. Pick the one that aligns with your structure. That’s how you stay in the game. 🎯 ________________________________________ 📚 Hope this cleared it up. If you want me to cover execution setups for each one, let me know in the comments.

BTC - Another Potential Bearish PatternHere I present my second alternative for a Bearish case for Bitcoin. Per my previous posts I explain in detail the interest in recollecting liquidity in these lower zones. Previously I presented pathways to the uber lows at 7,000-10,000 - however this is another possible case. I believe Bitcoin can see a drop from 109,200 straight down to 19,000-20,000 Why? 1. Major Volume support at this level 2. Major liquidity pools in confluence with this level 3. Price would form a W bottom with a higher low - which aligns with DXY breaking down on the monthly time frame. We can use DXY to project a bull market spanning 2-5 years (weakening dollar = more interest in deflationary assets such as Bitcoin) 4. Per the note above, it’s unlikely that BTC continues straight up without a sharp drop. The way this market works is to a large degree with leverage trading. The market and exchanges desperately want to shake out these longs, especially if we consider a 2-5 year bullish forecast through a macro view. 5. Confluence with this diagonal trendline which shows a clear support / resistance structure (note the Bitcoin chart is formed via diagonal ascending support and resistance lines - we can demonstrate this clearly and repeatable by duplicating the correct trendline and seeing how it forms the chart at any location) Personally, I am shorting Bitcoin from 109,000 - and am expecting to see a fast drop through the rest of the weekend. I will watch what the price does, where it reacts and interacts, and attempt to get a head start on understanding the true bottom before this “true” bull cycle begins. Happy trading

Stuck in a Squeeze, Fade the TopAs the Australian Dollar, a currency traditionally correlated with risk, has been trading in a range since mid-April, fading rallies near the top of that range appears to offer the best odds in the current environment. Here’s the breakdown. Fundamental Analysis The Australian Dollar continues to move without clear direction as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) pursues a clearly dovish path. The RBA’s most recent 25bp rate cut, bringing the official cash rate down to 3.85%, was justified by the central bank’s confidence that inflation is returning to target, coupled with lingering global uncertainties. According to the RBA Rate Tracker, markets are now assigning a 70% probability to yet another 25bp rate cut at the next meeting, an outlook that continues to weigh heavily on AUD yields and the currency’s appeal. On the other side of the Pacific, the CME FedWatch Tool shows that traders do not expect any policy easing from the Federal Reserve before late summer at the earliest. This means the US-Australia interest rate differential is likely to increase, making it even more expensive to hold AUD against the greenback. Compounding the challenges for the Aussie is the ongoing economic slowdown in China, Australia’s largest trading partner. With Chinese demand for commodities muted, there is little external support for the AUD. Technical Analysis Technically, after a sharp rebound in early April, the Aussie has remained stuck in a frustratingly tight range, unable to regain any significant upward momentum. Since its highs at the end of September, the currency is still down almost 7%. Price action has been confined to a broad consolidation zone between 0.6350 and 0.65 USD for over a month, with sellers consistently capping rallies at the upper end. The volume profile analysis reveals a heavy concentration of traded volume in the 0.6440–0.6465 band, reinforcing this area as a significant battle zone where sellers are likely to defend their ground. For the bulls to regain control, a sustained break above 0.6520 would be needed, something that appears unlikely in the current macro context. Sentiment Analysis From a positioning perspective, the CFTC’s Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows that large speculators continue to hold net short positions in the Aussie, signaling ongoing professional bearish bias. Retail sentiment paints a similarly contrarian picture: broker data from FX/CFD platforms indicates a slim majority of retail traders remain long AUD/USD, with some brokers showing more than 70% long positions. This crowded long condition means there is still fuel for further downside, especially if key support levels give way. Notably, retail stop losses are clustered between 0.6400 and 0.6350, and these could act as accelerants if triggered by a downside break. In addition, risk sentiment remains fragile. While the VIX has eased somewhat, it struggles to remain sustainably below 20, a sign that investor nerves are still on edge and defensive flows are likely to persist. Listed Options Analysis The options market continues to reinforce the idea that rallies will struggle to gain traction. Open interest on call options remains heavily concentrated above spot, particularly at the 0.6500, 0.6525, 0.6550, and 0.6600 strikes, creating a robust technical ceiling. This makes it difficult for the Aussie to stage any sharp or lasting rallies. In contrast, open interest on put options is moderate and scattered, with the largest concentrations around 0.6400 and 0.6450, but there is no significant put wall below spot. The put/call open interest ratio is close to parity, indicating a relatively balanced positioning between calls and puts, with no strong directional bias from the options market. Implied volatility for the front month remains elevated around 9.8–10.1%, and the risk reversal remains slightly negative, suggesting a modest preference for downside protection, but markets are not in panic mode. The heavy concentration of call OI above spot still introduces some gamma risk: if the market rallies into the 0.6500–0.6550 zone, a short squeeze could briefly occur, but such moves are likely to encounter renewed selling pressure and fade quickly. Trade Idea With the RBA set to remain dovish, China’s demand subdued, and global risk aversion remaining elevated, the Aussie remains a tactical short on rallies. The macro, technical, and sentiment picture all favor a bearish stance. Entry: Short Australian Dollar (6AM5) on rallies to 0.6440–0.6465 Stop: 0.6520 (just above high-volume node and call OI cluster) Target: 0.6350 (support, stop loss cluster below 0.64) The trade provides a risk/reward ratio close to 2:1, thanks to a tight stop above resistance and a realistic profit target near support. However, the outlook could change if the Fed pivots more dovishly than expected after the recent Moody’s downgrade of US debt. The FX landscape could shift rapidly and trigger a covering rally in AUD/USD. For now, though, the odds favor playing from the short side. We’ll monitor stops closely and be ready to adapt if the macro winds start to shift. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed. Traders working with the ticker symbols discussed in this idea may prefer to use CME Group real-time data plan on TradingView: tradingview.com/cme/.

Swiss Shield: Buy the DipThe tariff agreement that seemingly fell from the Geneva sky earlier this month convinced investors to pivot toward risk-linked assets, allowing the Swiss currency to retreat temporarily. However, the Franc’s safe-haven status, combined with the fragile balance currently settling over the markets, leads us to view this pullback as a tactical opportunity to buy at attractive levels. Fundamental Analysis While there are indeed factors that could support a continued weakening of the Franc, such as the interest rate differential between the U.S. and Switzerland, which might spark carry trade flows in favor of the dollar, experienced investors know better than to rely solely on interest rates to navigate the complexities of currency markets. Beneath the surface lies a dense web of competing incentives and mechanisms. True, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) has repeatedly warned of a possible return to negative rates since the beginning of the year, and is due to announce its next policy decision on June 19. The market currently expects a 25-basis-point rate cut, from 0.25% to 0%, prompted by persistently weak inflation data. And yet, the Swiss Franc has gained nearly 8% in 2025, proof that the erratic trade stance of the White House and the unpredictable temperament of its new occupant are outweighing rate differentials and continuing to boost safe-haven demand, with the Franc at the top of the list. Despite this week’s much-publicized announcements, which so far apply only for 90 days, the medium-term outlook remains highly unstable. Trying to guess the next provocation from the U.S. president is anyone’s game. Of course, interpreting market price action is never straightforward, but that task becomes even murkier when populism takes root at the highest levels of decision-making. It’s also worth remembering that U.S. tariffs remain historically high despite the recent agreement with China. According to Yale’s research lab, and based on some fairly sophisticated modeling, the effective U.S. tariff rate is still at its highest level since 1934. In this environment, the Swiss Franc seems well-positioned to retain favor among currency traders as part of a classic fly-to-quality move in times of uncertainty. The main risk here lies in the SNB's willingness, or lack thereof, to actively weigh on the Franc in an attempt to revive sluggish inflation. But for now, it's far from clear that the central bank is prepared to return to such controversial tactics, especially given its past accusations of exchange rate manipulation. Technical Analysis From a technical standpoint, the Franc’s recent retreat has opened up a compelling buying opportunity. Earlier this week, prices dropped to around 1.1850, precisely filling a low-volume area that hadn’t been revisited since April 10. Upon hitting this support, algorithmic strategies that specialize in gap-filling stepped in aggressively, with rising volume confirming the reaction. The rebound could continue, especially with reported corporate interest accumulating in the 1.1950–1.1980 zone, according to various trading chat channels. The next significant resistance stands around 1.2250, a level that has repeatedly capped upward moves since April 23. Sentiment Analysis Starting with the CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) report, asset managers have remained net short on the Franc for several years. However, this positioning is typically driven by hedging needs, such as covering equity portfolios, rather than directional conviction. As historical data shows, these short exposures rarely prevent the Swiss currency from rallying. On the retail side, aggregated data from various FX/CFD brokers shows that individual traders, whose positioning is often used as a contrarian indicator, remain heavily long USD/CHF, and therefore short the Franc. In some cases, this proportion exceeds 90%. Such crowding could provide fuel for a short squeeze if the market turns. Finally, the VIX has drifted back below the psychological 20 mark following recent developments, after previously surging above 50 last month, levels not seen since the pandemic. This presents a paradox: on one hand, volatility appears to be easing, but on the other, the broader situation remains unstable, with markets hanging on every word from Donald Trump. Trade Idea In summary, the fundamental, technical, and sentiment-based analyses all suggest that the recent dip to 1.1850 was more likely an emotional overreaction to headlines than the beginning of a structural downtrend. Despite some headwinds, notably the SNB’s close attention to the exchange rate, the Franc’s safe-haven appeal continues to outweigh other catalysts in a market where volatility remains fragile and unstable. Entry: Long Swiss Franc futures (6SM5) at current levels Stop: Daily close below 1.1850, which would invalidate the key support based on volume profile structure Target: 1.2250, a resistance level that has already been tested multiple times since late April, offering a solid risk/reward setup. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

Soybeans: The Global Protein Powerhouse🟡 1. Introduction Soybeans might not look like much at first glance — small, round, unassuming. But behind every bean lies a global story of protein demand, export flows, and economic policy. They feed livestock, fuel vehicles, nourish entire populations, and move markets. In fact, soybeans sit at the intersection of agriculture, industry, and geopolitics — making them one of the most actively traded and strategically watched commodities in the world. If you’re looking to understand how soybeans move markets — and how you can trade them effectively — this article is your starting point. 🌍 2. Why the World Cares About Soybeans Few agricultural commodities carry the weight soybeans do. Their importance spans both the food and energy sectors — and their global footprint is enormous. Here’s why they matter: Protein Meal: After processing, about 80% of the soybean becomes high-protein meal used to feed poultry, pigs, and cattle. Soybean Oil: Roughly 20% is extracted as oil — a key ingredient in cooking, industrial products, and increasingly, biodiesel. Biofuels: As the push for renewable energy grows, soybean oil plays a major role in sustainable fuel strategies. Top producers: United States — historically the world’s largest producer. Brazil — now rivals or exceeds U.S. production in some years. Argentina — a dominant player in soybean meal and oil exports. Top importers: China — imports over 60% of globally traded soybeans. EU, Mexico, Japan — also large buyers. Soybeans are a bridge commodity — connecting livestock feed, food manufacturing, and renewable energy. That’s why traders from Chicago to Shanghai watch every yield forecast and export announcement closely. 💹 3. CME Group Soybean Contracts Soybeans trade on the CME Group’s CBOT platform, with two main futures products: o Standard Soybeans Ticker: ZS Size = 5,000 bushels Tick = 0.0025 = $12.50 Margin = ~$2,150 o Micro Soybeans Ticker: MZS Size = 500 bushels Tick = 0.0050 = $2.50 Margin = ~$215 Soybean futures are among the most actively traded agricultural contracts, offering deep liquidity, tight spreads, and excellent volatility for strategic traders. Keep in mind that margins are subject to change — always confirm with your broker. Micro contracts are ideal for scaling in/out of trades or learning market structure without large capital risk. 📅 4. The Soybean Calendar Soybeans follow a seasonal cycle that creates rhythm in the market — and a potential edge for informed traders. In the United States: 🌱 Planting: Late April to early June ☀️ Pod development / blooming: July and early August (weather-sensitive) 🌾 Harvest: September through November In Brazil: 🌱 Planting: October to December 🌾 Harvest: February through April This staggered calendar means that soybean markets have multiple weather risk windows each year. It also means the export flows and global pricing dynamics shift between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres throughout the calendar year. That’s why soybeans tend to have two major volatility windows — mid-summer (U.S. crop concerns) and early Q1 (South American weather). Traders often build seasonal strategies around these patterns — buying weakness before key USDA reports, fading rallies during overbought harvests, or trading futures spreads between U.S. and Brazilian supply flows. 🔄 5. How Soybeans Are Traded Globally Soybeans move through a complex international web of growers, crushers, exporters, and consumers. As a trader, understanding this flow is essential — because each node introduces price risk, opportunity, and reaction points. Key players: o Hedgers: U.S. and Brazilian farmers hedge production risk using futures or options on futures. Exporters hedge shipping schedules against fluctuating basis and FX risk. o Crushers: Companies like Cargill or Bunge buy soybeans to crush into meal and oil. Crush margin (aka “board crush”) affects demand and influences futures spreads. o Speculators: Institutional funds trade soybeans as a macro or relative value play. Retail traders use micro contracts (MZS) to capture directional or seasonal moves. o China: Its purchasing pace (or sudden cancellations) can move markets dramatically. Announcements of bulk U.S. purchases could trigger short-covering rallies. Additionally, soybeans are sometimes traded indirectly via their by-products: Soybean Meal (ZM) Soybean Oil (ZL) These contracts often lead or lag ZS based on demand shifts in feed or fuel. 📈 6. What Makes Soybeans Unique to Trade Compared to wheat and corn, soybeans are: More weather-sensitive during July and August (especially to drought and heat). More globally integrated, thanks to China’s dominant import role. More complex, due to crush dynamics and multiple end-use markets. This multifaceted nature is why many professional traders monitor soybeans, even if they aren’t actively trading them every week. 📌 7. Summary / Takeaway Soybeans are one of the most important — and most tradable — commodities in the world. They feed livestock, fuel industry, and anchor the agricultural markets across two hemispheres. Their unique role in food, fuel, and feed makes them more than just another contract — they’re a barometer for global health, demand, and policy. Whether you’re trading the standard ZS contract or getting started with MZS, mastering soybeans means understanding weather, trade flows, product demand, and seasonality. 🧭 This article is part of our agricultural futures trading series. 📅 Watch for the next release: “Weather and Corn: A Deep Dive into Temperature Impact” When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

Wheat Trade ideaWheat has been in a downtrend for the past two years, but right now it’s sitting in a strong demand zone on the weekly chart for the year. Both the technicals and fundamentals are starting to look bullish, so this could be a solid setup for a long trade even if the overall trend is still down. On Thursday, April 24, there was a nice daily rejection between the 545’00 and 539’00 levels. That would’ve been a good entry based on my strategy. Most traders would avoid this kind of trade because of the strong downtrend, but I see everything lining up here: demand zone, fundamentals, and rejection. It doesn’t mean the market will reverse, but the risk is worth the potential reward. I’m not expecting a huge move just taking what the market gives me. If fundamentals keep supporting the move, I’ll hold longer. If not, I’ll take profit earlier. It’s about staying realistic and disciplined.
