No Clear Direction?

Published August 15, 2023

Hey, Ross here:

And let’s start the day my favorite way – with an actionable trade idea.

Chart of the Day

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is an exchange traded fund that tracks the movement of Bitcoin. It trades like a stock, so GBTC can be bought in any traditional brokerage account or IRA.

You could also buy Bitcoin directly. Personally, I don’t trust a lot of the crypto brokers these days, so this feels like a safer option to me. But the results will be similar either way.

Bitcoin has been a top performer in 2023. The digital currency is up 146% since the start of the year.

What is attracting me to it now, however, is how well the price is holding up in weaker market conditions.

After the big run up in June, GBTC found support near $19.40 (white horizontal line on chart).

Just over two weeks ago, this level was breached – but look at how quickly it bounced back up.

This tennis ball action is what I want to see.

Volume is also mimicking price – another clue that often identifies stocks being accumulated by large institutions. Notice how volume rises with the stock and then decreases on the retracements.

This is textbook pre-breakout activity.

I took a 10% position in GBTC in my personal account last week at just under $20 per share. If it breaks below $18.30, I will likely get out. This represents an 8% risk on the trade.

Insight of the Day

The market has no clear direction at the moment.

After pulling back for two weeks, indexes closed higher yesterday with tech stocks making a bit of a comeback.

As I said yesterday, tech stocks were the market leaders this year – but their leadership has been retreating.

Yesterday’s price action shows that they still have momentum behind them – meaning new market leadership may take some time to emerge.

When such new market leadership starts to form, that’s when my breakout strategies will shine.

In the meantime though, let’s remember that it’s still earnings season – a time where you can target quick gains in individual stocks no matter what’s going on in the broader market.

That’s why I’m going LIVE right now to show you my top strategy for playing earnings season…

A strategy that exploits a powerful “loophole” most traders don’t know about.

So click here to join me in the live room now…

And I’ll see you inside.

Embrace the surge,

Even Bill Gates himself has said that generative AI has “peaked” and that the next version of ChatGPT won’t be much better than the current version.

So where will the next wave of AI innovation – and profits – come from?

I'm a new member of 'Insider Effect' and sent a support email and was responded to within minutes. It starts very well.

I'm happy I recently opted in to the Ross Givens's Trading Club at Traders Agency (at the best and fairest offer I could possibly get). I'm new to trading U.S. stocks and options on a regular basis but it doesn't matter, Ross does all of the hard work for me while I'm trading at my own pace (he knows how to trade successfully most of the time and I know that I won't win every trade. Fair enough). He and his great team share a lot of their trading experience in live sessions. Great job. Thanks a lot!

I started with Ross Givens and Trader's Agency GOLD in September of this year and have had some significant success on all but one of the trades he suggested. I have actually made 157% in profits over what I paid to join Traders Agency within my first 30 days. I am no stock expert and I want to know more about how to invest in the market. Ross's videos and strategy sessions are very insightful, and you can chat during the sessions to get his feedback. He's got all the tools at his disposal and has set up some good algorithms in order to help one understand the chaos and fundamentals to watch for in order to make a good investing decision. I have had other investment "helpers" that never yielded what I have within such a limited amount of time. I think Ross, and his team, is the "Real Deal"
