Volatility returned, but the structure held — here's how I traded it
| Hey Nasdaqians, | Not gonna lie — I was sick for most of this week. | But even running at 50%, I saw opportunity. You just had to dig for it. The market was volatile, headlines were flying, and clean structure was rare… but not gone. | Let's get into it. | | 📌 What's Inside This Issue- Market Sentiment: Big moves driven by Powell, Putin, and panic. Structure got murky, but setups still fired.
- Looking Ahead: With Jackson Hole behind us, we'll see if structure returns — or if the chop continues.
- Golden Setup: Two strong entries near the 26s — one hit clean, one got clipped in the noise.
- Personal Note: I was down this week, but Gianni Di Poce lit it up. If you missed his Freeze Points webinar, stop everything and watch it.
| | 🟨 Market Sentiment | This wasn't your typical squeeze week. | Powell and Jackson Hole stole the headlines, and every tick felt like it could be the start of a news-driven whipsaw. ES flirted with 6400, NQ chopped hard around key levels, and the volume didn't show up when we needed it most. | Still, buyers held their own. Structure showed up if you waited for it — and when it did, the tape respected it. | | 🔭 Looking Ahead | My focus this week is simple: | Don't press. Watch your size. Stay tactical.
| If we get a clean touch of 26 from above and the tape is calm, I'll lean into it. But if this remains headline-driven chop, I'll stay on the sidelines and protect capital. | | 🔂 Golden Setup This Week | 📍 Level: 26
💡 Setup: Long from 26 to 50
📈 Result: +$620 per trade on first run, but second entry stopped fast after headline volatility. | ✅ Key Conditions: | Low-volume drift early in the week. Clean pullback to 26 with bar confirmation. Market spiked post-news and never looked back.
| 📌 Pro Tip:
If you can't hear the market talking, don't make it up. The best trades this week were the quiet ones that respected the process — not the flashy "this might work" moments. | | 💬 Personal Note | I wasn't at full strength this week — and I traded light because of it. But you know what? That made me better. Forced me to slow down, wait for my best shot, and let the levels do the work. | While I was out of rhythm, Gianni Di Poce was in his zone. He ran a killer webinar this week, breaking down his Freeze Points method — and I gotta say, it's 🔥. Perfect for this type of volatility-heavy tape. If you missed it, catch the replay here: | 👉 Watch Gianni's Freeze Points Replay | It's worth your time — especially if you're looking for a system that thrives in this chaos. | Stay sharp,
