@Barchart People called the dot-com top for three straight years before it actually arrived.

"Bubble" is a thesis, not a trade — no entry, no invalidation, no timeframe. Mark the levels that would actually confirm it and let price tell you when. Being early and being wrong pay the same.

@KobeissiLetter Worth knowing what that 47.4 actually is: it's a diffusion index, not a growth rate. It's the share of firms reporting better conditions minus those reporting worse. Above zero means more expanding than shrinking — it tells you direction and breadth, never magnitude.

Building a small room of traders who compare levels and setups every morning. No gurus, no signals — just people who actually trade, at every stage.

It's free. If that's you, reply or DM me.

The week ahead, in one card.

$NVDA earnings and PCE both land Wednesday. Jackson Hole runs all week. Payroll revisions Friday.

Two things move the whole tape on the same afternoon — that is a week to have your levels marked before the news, not after it.

What are you watching?

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

Six exits on the way up. Not one "sell it all at the top" click.

$MES ($SPY) long from 7693.25 — trimmed into every push higher, last piece trailed out at 7704 on the fade. +63.75 pts, 39 minutes.

Nobody rings a bell at the high. Scaling out is how you get paid without having to be right twice.

Where do you take your first trim?

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

@amitisinvesting The paradox in one line: the only politically acceptable answer to $40T in debt is growth, and the only growth story big enough is AI capex. That's why every dip gets bought and every capex raise gets cheered. Once you see that frame, this whole tape makes more sense.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

@KobeissiLetter The options market priced a ±5% move for $WMT this morning. It moved 9. For newer traders: the implied move is the market's best guess at surprise — when a stock doubles it, the news was genuinely news. That gap between expected and actual is where today's pain lived.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

$SPY tagged 768 and rejected — two days straight the free level has held.

Choppy start, so no options today (chop eats premium). Just a quick futures scalp off the rejection: +9.75 pts, out in 7 minutes.

It's continuing lower without me. Chop rules first, FOMO never.

@KobeissiLetter The lesson in that $2.7B liquidation number for newer traders: shorts have to BUY to close. The biggest green candles in a squeeze aren't bulls getting greedy — they're trapped sellers becoming forced buyers. Same mechanics on every chart, crypto or stocks.

Morning map for Wed Aug 19.

$SPY 772 is my level — reject there and puts are in play, break-retest-hold above and I am looking at calls. Options pricing a ±$3.57 day.

FOMC minutes 2:00. And all eyes on $NVDA at the open — China eased H200 limits after the close. The reaction is the tell.

One level free today — the rest live in the room.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

@CheddarFlow Flow confirming what the chart already said — $SPY got rejected at 772 twice this morning. For newer traders: when big put orders show up at a level that's already rejecting, that's confluence, not coincidence. The level came first. The flow follows it.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

$SPY tagged 772 twice. Rejected twice.

That is the one level I gave away free this morning — marked before the open, no indicators, no alerts, doing all the work.

FOMC minutes at 2:00. The level gets its real test then.

$QQQ gapped up, pulled back, and the 21 bull retest held — so I took it in futures. MNQ long at 29,598, scaled out into the push for +95 pts.

The system does not care what instrument you trade. Levels are levels.

Semis dropped 8-10% today. After the close: China eases limits on $NVDA H200 chips.

Tomorrow is a free lesson in the oldest rule there is — it's not the news, it's the reaction to the news.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

@amitisinvesting The real pair here is the selloff + the BofA survey: most bullish positioning since 2021 and cash at 3.5%, right as yields press levels that have broken stocks before — a lot less cushion on red days. And #11 is sneaky: $GOOGL was the one name on my map that set up today.

[TheTickerRoom @TheTickerRoom]

@amitisinvesting Good breakdown. For newer traders: when the 10-yr yield climbs, "safe" money earns more, so stocks have to compete harder for it. That's why growth names feel it first. Days like today make a lot more sense once you start watching yields next to your charts.
