You want to know why Don is bearish?
Why Jeff Bierman is bearish?
And why even Gianni, who’s been a bull so long he once tried to mount a cow, is changing his tune?
Because this latest decline wasn’t driven by news, nor was it a simple pullback.
The leaders that took us to new all-time-highs week after week have taken a swan dive.
Before Friday’s rally, Tesla had plunged nearly 17%.
Bitcoin is off more than 25%.
Semiconductors, as a whole, haven’t made a new high since October, and were in correction territory before Friday’s rally.
Sure, things could turn around quickly, like they have all year.
And I’m typically a November bull.
But as Don has said, the order flow rules all.
We’re putting in record options volume nearly every day. Yet, the VIX, the measure of options demand on the S&P 500, remains stubbornly high.
I know it’s easy to get complacent this time of year.
But do yourself a favor…stay informed.

Don Kaufman: Confession: I Have Zero Long-Term Stock Positions
While everyone's rushing into beaten-down AI stocks, nuclear plays, and quantum names after they got trampled the last few weeks, I'm doing something that shocked my own team in a closed-door meeting: I have zero long-term stock positions.
The market rallied hard today after this morning's selloff. People are calling it "buying the dip."
But when they asked me point blank what stocks I actually own long-term, the answer was simple:
Nothing.
I don't even own SPY right now, which I sometimes hold for periods.
I am not long anything in terms of buy-and-hold positions.
But I'm Still Trading My A*s Off

Gianni Di Poce: The Leaders Are Rolling Over
Back in May, I called the Great Tech Reset. It became the trade of the year.
Tech ripped higher from the April lows. AI names went parabolic. Semiconductors doubled.
We made a killing:
- IONQ up 74% in 26 days
- AMD up 389% in five days
- QBTS up 82% in 24 days.
The profits stacked up fast. But underneath the surface, the Trinity Terminal uncovered a notable shift…

Jeff Bierman: The Line Between Holding and Breaking
I started grading exams at three in the morning Tuesday.
Forty-nine students. Corporate finance midterms. Questions about capital budgeting. Breakeven analysis. Degree of operating leverage.
Most of them got it right. The math, anyway. The formulas. The technical mechanics of how businesses calculate risk and return.
But sitting there at my desk before sunrise, I kept thinking about what they don't understand yet. What nobody can teach them from a textbook.
Something's not adding up. And this weekend, I want to talk about what happens when the line between holding steady and breaking completely finally gives way.

Brandon Chapman: Why One Institution Just Bet $2.3 Million on Bitcoin Miners
Bitcoin crashed through $100,000 this week. Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc dumped billions in bitcoin holdings. The value of MSTR's bitcoin stash now sits below what they borrowed to buy it.
Every headline screamed bearish. Every technical analyst drew support lines that didn't hold. Every crypto trader watched their portfolio bleed red.
Then on Friday, while bitcoin stayed pinned near its lows, an institution quietly deployed $2.3 million on a single options trade.
The target? Riot Platforms (RIOT), a bitcoin mining stock that tracks crypto prices tick for tick.
The bet? RIOT pushes above $17 by January 16th.
The signal? This wasn't speculation. This was calculated positioning on a stock with elevated short interest, declining volatility, and a technical setup primed for a squeeze.
The Ghost Prints Surveillance Console caught it in real-time. And if you know how to read institutional order flow, this trade tells you everything about where smart money sees opportunity right now.

Blake Young: Behind My Camera: A WWII Story
With Veterans Day this week, I wanted to publicly thank all veterans—both living and those who have passed.
Many, if not all, of you have seen me present and trade daily. What you don't know is that directly behind my computer and camera hangs a special reminder: a shirt, or what's called a Navy blouse.
This blouse once belonged to a young man during World War II who probably weighed about 125 pounds at the time. I'll never be able to wear it, but it will likely be displayed in my office for the rest of my life.
This young man served in the Navy as a cook aboard a vessel. If you look closely at the patch, you'll see he was a Pharmacist's Mate—the title given to those who served as Hospital Corpsmen before the hospital corps officially existed.
He served honorably during World War II, returned home, and approximately 30 years after the war, became my maternal grandpa.

Tony Rago: It's Like Cheating on a Test
A trader texted me something this week that made me smile.
He was watching the NQ during Wednesday's session when price closed at 25,431 at 2:00 PM Eastern. The close above 25,412 opened the 25,500 level. Price dropped 150 points down to 25,350. Then it ripped straight back to 25,500.
His text: "The Houdini show. It's like cheating on a test."
That single observation captures exactly what makes round numbers so powerful. They're not predictions. They're not guesses. They're magnets built into the market's structure that pull price toward them with remarkable consistency.
When you understand how these levels work, trading stops feeling like gambling and starts feeling inevitable.
