BULL TRAP THESIS 🧐

Read this comprehensive thread so you understand why this is the BIGGEST BULL TRAP that we have ever seen

#thread 🧵 Image
Let's start with JPOW & Interest Rates

Currently, Fed has been raising interest rates to battle inflation which puts downward pressure on the #StockMarket

So if Fed keeps raising rates, it's #bearish for #stocks & #crypto.

Raising Camign → Pause → Decreasing Campaign

2🧵 Image
We are in a #BearMarket and this recent rally has sparked a lot of enthusiasm from #investors and #traders.

Bear Market Rallies are a common phenomenon during the Bear Market and usually have multiple selling climaxes and declining volume on the rallies.

3🧵 Image
Now, I am going to dive into different charts to show you the confluence of what I am saying.

First up, $VIX 👑

4🧵 Image
💡 Look for divergence when #VIX makes a lower low, #stocks should make a higher high and when it does not happen, we can anticipate a turn in the markets.

5🧵 Image
💡 Indicies Divergence

Monitor Three Major Indices: #DOW #NASDAQ #SPY and look for divergence, all three indices should follow each other and make higher highs and lower lows in tandem. When it does not happen, we can anticipate a turn in the markets.

6🧵 Image
💡 International #Bonds Divergence

Monitor International 10Y Bond Yields: #USA, #British, #German bonds and look for divergence.

Yield 📈 → Currency 📈 → Equities 📉

7🧵 Image
💡 #DXY Dollar Index at MAJOR support!

If the #Dollar bounces from its MID RANGE support, we could see a 6% rally which would be very #bearish for #stocks and #crypto.

8🧵 Image
#SP500 $ES_F $ES Technical Analysis

1. Liquidity Grab ✓
2. Displacement ✓
3. Structure Break ✓
4. Retracement ✓
5. Short inside Optimal Trade Entry ✓

9🧵 Image
This new bullish sentiment across #stocks and #crypto is getting out of control, intelligent 🧐 investors call it "Irrational Exuberance"

F&ck around...

Swing Breakout Sequence #SBS

It’s the most reliable setup I’ve ever taught.

This thread will show you:
- How it works
- Why it’s powerful
- How YOU can use it 🧵👇 Image
1/ What is SBS?

SBS is a price action sequence that happens after the breakout.

1. Breakout
2. First Tap
3. Quick Sclap
4. Return to Liquidate FT
5. Reversal Image
2/ How to trade SBS?

Wait for the price to liquidate First Tap and look for the Reversal with Target at the new high/low.

But wait there is more... Image

🚨 WARNING: Most traders are trapped in slow-motion failure.

They grind for years, getting nowhere.

But the fastest path to mastery isn’t what you think.

Read on and uncover the secret: 👇🧵
1/ Forget the daily chart.

It’s a graveyard for learning.

Start where the action is: the 1min or even seconds chart.

It’s chaos - but chaos is the fastest teacher.
2/ Every second matters.

Trading 1-min charts crams years of experience into days.

Hesitate? You lose.
Learn? You adapt.

Fast pain = fast growth.

🚨 WARNING: 99% of traders fail because they fall into a deadly trap.

Charts are full of bullish AND bearish setups at the same time.

Most traders can’t tell which ones will work…
And which ones will destroy their accounts.

Here’s the secret the pros use 👇🧵
1/ The market doesn’t care about your feelings, your predictions, or your hopes.

It only respects one thing: the TREND!

And the simplest way to uncover the trend?

The 20 SMA and 200 SMA.

These two lines are the key to filtering the noise.
2/ Here’s how it works (it’s almost TOO simple):

- If the price is above BOTH the 20 SMA & 200 SMA, the market is bullish. Take long setups. 📈

- If the price is below BOTH the 20 SMA & 200 SMA, the market is bearish. Take short setups. 📉

Ignore everything else. Period.

🧵 Why do profitable traders sell courses/mentorships?

Isn’t trading enough to make money?

Let’s break the myth 👇
1/ Some people think: “If a trader is profitable, why would they sell courses? Just trade and make money!”

But that assumption misses the bigger picture.

Here’s why even successful traders might choose to teach.
2/ Expanding Opportunities

Trading is a skill, but it doesn’t have to be the only skill a trader leverages.

Teaching opens doors to new opportunities - building a personal brand, networking, and creating lasting impact beyond the markets.

RIP ICT Concepts 💀

STP is all you need 👑

While ICT Concepts overcomplicate trading with repackaged basics that lead to confusion, the Stoic Trader Protocol (STP) focuses on mastering the essentials.

Here’s how STP works: 🧵👇
2/ ICT Concepts: A Maze of Confusion

ICT often teaches flashy methods wrapped in complex jargon.

🌀 Overloading with “concepts” ≠ actionable clarity.
📉 Most traders end up chasing shadows, losing their edge.

ICT sells complexity. STP thrives on simplicity.
3/ STP (Stoic Trader Protocol) strips trading to its core:

✅ Daily Plan – Define your goals.
✅ Environment – Recognize market conditions.
✅ Setup – Identify high-probability setups.
✅ Execution – Precise and methodical.
✅ Management – Stick to the plan, maximize profits.

Trader Mindset vs. Analyst Mindset 🧵

Most traders fail because they approach the market like analysts, trying to predict every move.

Here’s why that’s a mistake and how shifting to the Trader Mindset can transform your results.

Let’s dive in:
The Analyst Mindset

Analysts are obsessed with:
• Forecasting trends
• Building narratives about why markets move
• Being right at all costs

While this works for analysis, it’s a TRAP for traders. Why?
The Analyst Mindset leads to:

• Overthinking every trade
• Emotional attachment to predictions
• Frustration when the market “doesn’t behave”

The truth: Markets don’t care about your predictions.
