Merchants,
What an eventful week that confirmed the changes I’ve beforehand spoken about and employed to be proper on the cash. I’ll elaborate on that and share my prime concepts for the week forward, specializing in my exact commerce plans for setups that may make important directional strikes.
Simply earlier than I share my prime concepts, although. Let’s briefly recap the motion and final week’s watchlist concepts. I used to be focusing predominantly on the quick aspect that paid off final week, with exceptions to extra defensive, in-play sectors just like the vitality sector. The ACB and CADL quick concepts labored completely, and I urge you to return and examine them, because it’s a textbook bottom swing quick alternative. Sadly, IBIT gapped up over resistance to start out the week, voiding my plan, so there was no commerce there. Two different swing trades I took on the week have been an extended in TPET from the low $0.20s and bought close to $0.50 on Friday, together with an extended in OXY from the low $69s and bought close to $71 on Friday, each aside of a theme, rising oil costs and tensions within the center east.
As we glance forward, it’s essential to acknowledge the present market situations. Following the numerous sell-off throughout all sectors on Friday, I’m approaching this week with warning. At current, I don’t have any A+ swing concepts. We may probably see a continuation to the draw back or some digestion and consolidation. It’s important to be ready for any state of affairs and keep up to date on the evolving state of affairs within the Center East.
Many sectors have begun to drag again considerably on a better timeframe, and the main sector, the QQQs, is constant to consolidate. This week, I’ll keep away from searching for lengthy breakouts and as an alternative deal with particular person names and theme situations.
Small Cap Oil Shares Heating Up
A number of small-cap oil names surged larger on Friday. I closed out my lengthy place in TPET after it doubled on Friday. Going ahead, I’ll be monitoring a handful of small-cap names for potential consolidation, additional upside, and squeeze potential as concern rises of rising tensions between Israel and Iran.
Finally, I will probably be monitoring these for a swing quick, however till we get decrease highs and affirmation of a bottom, I’m open to a theme growing and taking part in out.
Right here’s My Plan:
*Please word that the costs and different statistics on this web page are hypothetical, and don’t mirror the affect, if any, of sure market elements comparable to liquidity, slippage and commissions.
If TPET continues to consolidate above its multi-day VWAP and the $0.40 – $0.45 space, a liquidity entice / quick squeeze state of affairs may see this squeeze out nearer to $1. In that state of affairs, I’d search for one other lengthy entry focusing on an intraday breakout with a cease on the low of the vary, trailing my place on the 5-minute timeframe, and searching for a blowout towards $1+.
Alternatively, if tensions settle and vitality continues to drag in, I search for pops towards potential resistance close to $0.60 to fail and ensure a decrease excessive for a 2-day swing quick, focusing on a transfer again towards $0.30.

INDO and HUSA: Two extra small-cap oil shares that noticed some quantity are available in on Friday. Just like the above plan, if INDO, for instance, exhibits indicators of endurance and a broader theme growing, I would wish to see it entice and consolidate above $5. That may get me eager about a full day – 2-day lengthy place for a transfer first above Friday’s excessive, and after that, scaling out of the lengthy place as new intraday highs are made on the 5-minute timeframe, scaling out of the lengthy because it extends drastically from VWAP.
On the flip aspect, ought to air come out of the identify(s) and the theme not develop, I’d search for a push over $5 to fail and intraday VWAP fail to carry, thereby searching for a brief versus the earlier excessive and a brief swing focusing on a transfer again to $3s.
Further Backburner Concepts and Alerts Set In:
Pop in NXPL: It had a clear all-day fade on Friday, and there’s a lot of overhead resistance now. I’d set alerts for pushback to resistance close to $2 – $2.30 for an intraday failure and quick for a full-day swing.

GLD / SLV: Gold and Silver with important reversals on Friday. Powerful names to commerce and a ton of headline danger and uncertainties. Nonetheless, from a strict technical evaluation perspective, if both can push close to the 2-day VWAP and ensure a decrease excessive, I’d take a stab on the quick for continuation, searching for a full day – 2-day quick swing, first focusing on Friday’s low and after that trailing the cease utilizing decrease highs on the 5-minute timeframe and scaling out on new intraday lows.
