MARK MINERVINI AND DAVID RYAN BUILT FORTUNES ENTERING AT ONE PRECISE SPOT ON THE CHART.
You have walked past it a thousand times. Here it is. Save this. 👇
$PLTR is a perfect example of why the overall market is more important than individual stocks.
Amazing AI leader during the 2023-2026 bull market, but still followed the 4 stages of Stage Analysis when it IPOed in 2020, when into a Stage 3 top in 2021, then a Stage 4 decline in 2022.
If you believed solely in the company back in 2020 you still were setup for massive losses in 2022 (because of the Stage 4 bear market) before the monster move in 2023 started.
Overall market is always the most important for individual stocks, just like the ocean current is for all ships in the sea.
This Malik Tillman strike will live on forever in USMNT history.
Couple that with the heart & guts of a team that spent half an hour down a man in a knockout game yet still posted a clean sheet and it’s a performance that unites a country.
What a win. 🇺🇸
Alec Baldwin is in GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (1992) for less than ten minutes and somehow casts a shadow over the entire movie. Most actors would kill for a role that size. Baldwin turned it into one of the most quoted performances in film history.
The S&P 500 gained 10.7% through the first five months of 2026, putting it on pace for a 15%+ gain for a fourth year in a row. The only other time the benchmark achieved the feat was the five-year streak from 1995-99.
The longer the rally continues, the more it resembles the late-1990s bull. Both were fueled by a revolutionary technology that triggered capex spending and productivity gains.
There are key differences, including demographics, consumer sentiment, and geopolitics, just to name a few.
While the debate over how well the current market fits the 1990s analog is fascinating, the relevant question here is whether the current rally will come to an end.
Two triggers of the 2000 bear market – rising inflation and technical divergences – are in play but not at bull-breaking levels currently.
The S&P 500 roughly followed its midterm year average pattern through February before diverging during the March selloff and April-May rebound (chart). Events in the Middle East likely brought some of the typical midterm year weakness forward.
History suggests additional weakness is possible, especially late in Q3 amid election angst. As the outcome has becomes less uncertain, the market has tended to enter a year-end rally. Point-to-point, the S&P 500 has risen 4.7% in the second half of midterm years, on average, which is the final input into our S&P target.
Given the historically overbought condition of the Technology sector, a Tech-led mean-reversion pullback could align with the midterm pattern however, midterm years often end on a high note.

I think 1984 was probably the best year ever for movies.
Footloose, The Karate Kid, The Never Ending Story, Sixteen Candles, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Indiana Jones Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Beverly Hills Cop, The Last Starfighter, Nightmare on Elm Street, Red Dawn ... epic year
I share when I get punched so new traders understand that getting punched is unavoidable no matter how good you become.
What you control is how you react (foot off the gas pedal, no revenge trades, risk management, etc.)
The goal is not to win all fighting rounds, the goal is to get back up when you get punched.
Mark Minervini popularized VCP, probably the most explosive & easiest pattern to spot & understand.
Yet most traders still can't apply it.
Not because VCP is complicated but because they learn the shape & skip the logic.
Here's what they miss:
VCP isn't a chart pattern.
It's story of supply being exhausted - one contraction at a time.
Every pullback flushes out weak hands. Each wave of selling gets smaller. By the final tight zone - almost all the sellers are gone. What's left is pure demand.
That's when you strike.
The checklist:
-Prior uptrend ≥30% before the base
-Stage 2 only - price above the 50 DEMA
-Relative strength beating the index
-2-3 contractions - each measurably shallower (eg. T1: 25% → T2: 15% → T3: 5% with tight candles)
-Volume drying up at every pullback with pocket pivot
-Entry when T3 tight range breaks
How I trade it:
I don't scan for the whole pattern.
I scan for tight bars first -the coiling.
Then I look back to see if the full VCP structure is behind it.
If yes → mark the pivot → set the alert → wait.
When price breaks the pivot with volume I execute.
Entry above pivot. Stop below the T3 low - tightest possible stop & maximum reward.
Same process. Every setup. No guessing.
The pattern works. It has always worked.
The only thing that fails is discipline.
The finale of Point Break (1991) evokes fate thundering ashore amid the breakers. Bodhi confronts the tempest he's pursued all his life, while Johnny Utah releases him, recognizing that certain passions defy confinement. Torrents and swells envelop the pair, who at last grasp one another's essence. Analyze Point Break's themes Similar 90s action films Make it more poetic
Why is the market stampeding higher📈📈 AI benefits are starting to materialize in expanding margins and profitability which is CANSLIM Utopia. This can result into higher expanding/accelerating earnings growth, PE’s for leading stocks, the major indexes and GDP. If, if, if this continues, the market could ramp at a rate faster than the https://t.co/26TH2f30Rx bull. I know, I traded that market. AI is significantly more powerful/meaningful to business and society. Therefore prices should move greater than in the https://t.co/58or0ZLz2g boom and will result in the mother of all blowoff tops. It will result in rolling booms of innovation and climax tops that could last for decades. I will be taking all your questions TONIGHT! @ https://t.co/UkFoeQBtoY https://t.co/UkFoeQBtoY 2 weeks FREE

The recent lack of volume might seem concerning, but it could actually be the most bullish sign in this market. 📈
Individuals and institutions are sidelined in disbelief, but with cash balances at all-time highs, they can’t stay out forever. This could lead to funds chasing into quarter end! 🌊💸 #StockMarket #MarketAnalysis #BullMarket #InvestingInsights
