Market Outlook – Bottom Fishing Bounce

Stocks are starting the rebound from oversold conditions that we have been watching for. While the strength is encouraging, we should not ignore that the market is still in a downward trend on the daily chart. The strength is on the shorter term intraday chart which means this bounce may only last a few days. For a longer term reversal, we need to see an improvement on the daily chart. Take a short term view to trades until the market can build a rising bottom on the daily chart.

Commentary – How to Consistently Succeed in the Stock Market: A Winning Mindset

Want to thrive in the stock market? Success starts with the right mindset. Here’s a roadmap to get you there.

First, accept that the stock market isn’t fair. Some players—insiders, institutions, or those with privileged access—get better information faster. They have an edge. Denying this reality sets you up for frustration; embracing it opens the door to opportunity.

Next, turn that unfairness into your advantage. When those with superior information act, they leave footprints in the market. Forget the noise of media hype or chatter from pundits. Words are cheap. Actions—where people put their money—tell the real story. Focus on what the market is doing, not what it’s saying.

Look for stocks showing sudden, strong buyer interest, especially with higher-than-average trading volume. These are your “Alpha stocks”—the leaders of the pack with the potential to surge. Trading these standouts is how you outperform the market. But spotting them isn’t enough; you need to know what to look for.

That’s where chart reading comes in. Learning to interpret stock charts is essential—it’s not rocket science, but it takes practice. Not every stock with abnormal price and volume spikes is a winner. The best opportunities come from predictive patterns that signal a breakout. Study the basics: attend this week’s Stockscores webinars, analyze historical charts, or learn direction from my guidance. Mastery here separates the amateurs from the pros.

Even with perfect analysis, there’s no guarantee. Trading is a numbers game, not a crystal ball. Some trades will soar, others will flop, and most will fall somewhere in between. Your edge lies in understanding Expected Value—the long-term payoff of your strategy across many trades, not just one. Success isn’t about being right every time; it’s about winning more than you lose over, say, ten trades.

This brings us to a critical skill: losing well. No one wins every trade, so you must know when to cut your losses and have the discipline to act when the market proves you wrong. Great traders don’t let small losses balloon into disasters. They keep their losers in check, ensuring their winners can shine.

The market evolves, and so must you. After decades of trading, I’ve learned that while human fear and greed drive the game, the ways to exploit them shift over time. Stay curious. Test new ideas. Adapt your approach. The crowd follows trends; you need to stay one step ahead.

Finally, it all boils down to you. Emotional control, discipline, focus, determination, and a dash of optimism define the best traders. The market doesn’t care about your excuses—your success or failure rests on your ability to master yourself. Take the time to understand how the market really works, not how you wish it would. That’s the foundation of consistent wins.

The stock market rewards those who see it for what it is: a battlefield of information and behavior. Equip yourself with the right tools, embrace the grind, and you’ll be on your way to beating the odds.
