A message from our parters at The Trading Pub While most traders watch price action... Here's what many miss… Price is the LAST thing to move. What moves first is what I call “money flow”. And when you can track every dollar flowing into and out of a particular asset in real time... you can spot reversals before they happen. Take what happened on Tuesday, June 24th... The SPY was drifting lower all afternoon… Most traders would have seen weakness and expected more downside. 
But at exactly 1:25 PM, something interesting happened on my screen... I could see 6.4 million bullish transactions flooding into the market - even though the SPY price hadn't moved yet. 
This created what I call "bullish divergence" - money flowing in while price stays flat. It's like watching institutional money quietly position themselves before the crowd catches on. Anyone following the flow could have placed a simple trade at 1:25... and watched the SPY shoot up like a rocket over the next 18 minutes. And according to our research, if they had placed a 0DTE option… Well, the result would have been a 76% gain in 39 minutes. 
While there would have been smaller gains and some that did not work out… This signal happened in real time with a group of 578 traders who've been following this approach. The reason most traders miss these moves is simple… They're often looking at the wrong thing. They watch price charts, RSI, moving averages... all lagging indicators that tell you what already happened. But “money flow” tells you what's ABOUT to happen. When you can see capital pouring into the SPY before price reacts, you're essentially front-running the market's next move. I've been quietly developing this approach for months, and the results from our research speak for themselves... 73.2% win rate across 116 trades... average hold time under 1 hour... average return of 16.4% per trade. While I won’t be reckless in guaranteeing future returns or against losses… If you want to see exactly how “money flow” works - and how to spot these SPY reversals before they rip - I've just put together a short presentation that goes over everything I’ve discovered. You'll see the complete breakdown of how to "follow the money" in real time and catch these opportunities 3-5 times per day. Get your hands on the presentation here.
Today's Featured News Q2 Could Be the Catalyst PayPal Investors Have Been Waiting ForWritten by Sam Quirke 
Key Points - PayPal shares are up more than 30% since April after years of choppy trading.
- Fresh product momentum and impressive buybacks are supporting a stronger narrative.
- With earnings approaching, Q2 could be the turning point for long-suffering bulls.
Tech giant PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) has frustrated investors over the past few years. Despite being one of the pandemic’s standout winners, the stock has essentially traded flat for the better part of three years since losing 80% of its value. Every attempt at a sustained uptrend has fizzled, but the bears have also been unable to take it down lower. Shares have quietly climbed more than 30% since early April, and the recent price action suggests there might be something different about this rally. With higher highs and higher lows starting to form on the chart, and a fresh earnings report due in a few weeks, PayPal is showing signs it could finally be ready to turn a corner. Long-suffering investors will remember its massive rallies during 2020 and 2021 and can’t help but wonder: What will it take to see that kind of performance again? A Sleeping Giant? At its core, PayPal remains a financial services powerhouse. It owns and operates some of the world's most widely used digital payment platforms, and even after years of sluggish trading, it still processes hundreds of billions in total payment volume every year. What’s made the recent action more interesting is the combination of solid upward momentum and encouraging developments under the hood. Management has been vocal about shifting away from lower-margin revenue lines and leaning more heavily into profitability. PayPal’s free cash flow engine is strong, and that gives them options. Even with shares still lagging broader tech peers, management has doubled down on stock buybacks. One of the most bullish signs a company can send to the market. And with a P/E ratio under 17, it’s hard to argue otherwise. Products Are Landing, and the Strategy’s Evolving One of the more encouraging signs is that PayPal’s new product lineup is actually starting to gain traction. The company has introduced a Venmo Debit Card, a PayPal Credit Card, and launched its PYUSD stablecoin. Each plays directly into the firm’s ambition to expand wallet share with consumers and merchants. One of the stronger endorsements lately came from the RBC Capital team. Alongside its focus on diversification and margin expansion, RBC was impressed by the company’s prospects for international growth, and they see PayPal as a solid catch-up play opportunity. The firm reiterated its Outperform rating late last month, along with its $88 price target. That implies a targeted upside of close to 20% from current levels. Not Everyone’s Convinced Just Yet Of course, after years of disappointment, not everyone’s ready to be bullish. This week, the Deutsche Bank and Seaport teams took more cautious stances, preferring to wait and see ahead of Q2 earnings. That hesitation is understandable. PayPal has let plenty of rallies fade in the past. And unless the company delivers a clean beat with solid guidance, there’s always a risk that this one loses steam too. If PayPal Delivers, the Rally Could Take Off That said, however, you can’t help but see the glass as half full right now. The company has been through a reset phase, trimming some fat, sharpening its strategy, and focusing on core profit drivers. It’s launching new products, improving old ones, and reinvesting through buybacks while the stock is cheap. If PayPal delivers a strong Q2 and proves that the margin story is real and sustainable, then the market will have to take notice. The potential is there—strong cash flow, compelling valuation, and improving execution. If all of that hits at once, this could finally drive the breakout long-term investors have been waiting for.
