Trading Recap Focus Video
Today’s session focused on using familiar Boot Camp discretionary patterns — primarily the Infield Fly and Double Header — as structured intraday opportunities rather than random reactions to price movement. Several stocks, including NVDA, META, and PLTR, presented valid setups, but the emphasis was on selectivity: a clean-looking pattern alone wasn’t enough if pivots, volume-by-price levels, or overhead thresholds interfered. The best trades came when entries aligned with support/resistance targets and allowed simple bracket management.
The key takeaway was confluence. Traders were reminded to confirm the relationship between the stock, the index, and correlated names (for example PLTR moving closely with TSLA). The goal is not constant activity, but disciplined participation — waiting for overlapping evidence before entering and letting the structured plan guide execution throughout the day.

Market Recap: What Drove Price Action Today
U.S. equities finished modestly lower today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling roughly half a percent, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also slipped as investors digested mixed economic data and rising Treasury yields. The focus remained squarely on the Magnificent Seven — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Tesla — which were mixed to weaker on the session and continued to drive much of the Nasdaq’s tone. With yields firming and traders reassessing near-term rate expectations, leadership in mega-cap tech showed some fatigue, keeping broader index gains in check and reinforcing a more selective, rotational tape beneath the surface.
