Topping is an ongoing process. It doesn't happen in one single session.

Institutions unwind positions over weeks/months, the same way they accumulate positions over weeks to months.

Here's what leading stocks are doing right now (that's a big cause for concern):

Let's start with $MSTR.

After getting super stretched above the 10EMA, $MSTR put in a Major Sell Bar on 11/21/2024.

You can see in the days following, gaps were sold.

The RS line has also flipped negative vs. its 21EMA.

$MSTR has been a leading name for a good while, so taking note of this distribution is important... Always be open to the other side of the trade!

Here's $APP.

This name has been nearly a perfect trade since breaking out in September, but yesterday it flashed a Major Sell Bar for the first time.

Down 15% on huge volume is a warning sign you must be aware of, no matter how big of gains you may have on the position.

From here, be on the watch for support at the rising 20 EMA/SMA, and continue to search for sellers to show up in a big way.

The $400 psychological level is key to watch as well.

Chasing a big breakout that you missed is the fastest way to go broke as a trader.

But there's one setup to rely on to get in big winners (even past their pivot points):

Inside Days.

Here's everything you need to master this setup (and start trading it ASAP):

By the end of this post, you'll have mastered:

→ What an inside day setup is
→ Why it's so reliable on names already showing momentum
→ Different ways to enter/exit the inside day setup
→ 3 examples to study & deep dive
→ 1 easy scans to run

Let's get going.

What is an inside day setup?

An inside day occurs when today's price is fully within the high & low of yesterday's bar, hinting at short term consolidation before price continues in the current direction.

It's also best when the inside bar comes on low volume.

Stanley Druckenmiller hasn't had a losing year in his entire 4.5 decades as a trader.

He recently sat down for a talk that every retail investor/trader needs to listen to.

We've broken it down for you into 10 clips (covering TA, risk management, selling losers, & much more):

As we said above, Druck's never had a down year.

We're sure you can imagine why that's important, but he says drawdowns are stressful, and staying out of them keeps you level headed.

One idea Druck is obsessed with right now?

Whether we're in 1970s or not when referring to inflation.

No matter what you think about the macro, it's valuable to see the world's top investor looking for historical precedents to help him position in current times.

A volume signature we saw a lot of today:

Pocket pivots.

One of the easiest patterns to use to see if a stock is under institutional accumulation.

Here's everything you need to know about one of the market's most reliable signals (so you can spot strong stocks instantly):

By the end of this post, you'll understand:

→ What a pocket pivot is
→ How to spot it
→ How to trade it

Let's dive in ↓

What's the definition of a Pocket Pivot?

Today's up volume must be larger than any of the down volume in the prior 10 days.

This concept was first popularized by legendary trader William O'Neil and is a key component of the CANSLIM trading method.

Let's start the week off talking about two simple steps to improve your odds at becoming a profitable, high-performing trader:

→ Step 1: Trading Stocks Above Their 50DMA / 10WMA
→ Step 2: Trading Stocks In The Top 40 Industry Groups

Digging a little deeper... ↓

Step 1: Trading names above the 50DMA / 10WMA has to be your foundation.

You should never argue with the major trend at play on any given chart.

When institutions are accumulating stock, your opinion doesn't matter. Their $ will drive price higher.

Step 2: Trading names in Top 40 Industry Groups

Majority of the time, you're going to find a life-changing stock that's in a broader group move.

Think of $NVDA currently (AI) or $TLSA (EVs) in 2020/2021.

It should be obvious when a stock's strength is tied to its sector.
