Hey Trader,


Finding Strength in Faith


In the ever-changing landscape of trading, it’s essential to find moments of peace and inspiration...


I wanted to share a verse from Psalm 108:5 that has been particularly uplifting:

"Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth."


This powerful reminder can resonate deeply with us as retail traders.


Just as we navigate the highs and lows of the market, this verse encourages us to lift our gaze above the immediate challenges and trust in a higher power.


It’s a call to recognize the bigger picture and draw strength from faith, knowing that there is a greater plan at work.


By keeping this perspective, we can approach our trading with renewed confidence and resilience.


Let this verse inspire you to rise above the daily fluctuations and find solace in the knowledge that there is a divine presence guiding you.


Wishing you peace and success in your trading journey!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Anthony Speciale



Some Trading Days Are Just More Taxing Than Others...


Welcome, traders! Anthony Speciale here from Speciale Analysis, ready to break down today’s market action and provide some valuable insights into navigating economic data releases.


This blog post is geared towards helping you understand the intricacies of trading during these high-impact times and how to use volume analysis to your advantage.


Choppy Market Conditions and Key Economic Events


This morning started off with some choppy conditions across various markets, including the NASDAQ, S&P, and Gold.


The day was packed with significant economic events: the Producer Price Index (PPI) and unemployment claims were released at 8:30 AM, followed by Janet Yellen’s speech at noon, and the 30-year bond auctions later in the day.


Such a dense schedule of events can often lead to unpredictable price action and increased volatility.


Morning Volatility and the 8:30 AM News


At 8:30 AM, the release of PPI and unemployment claims caused a hard reaction across various assets, including gold and crude oil.


Crude Oil, in particular, displayed aggressive buying following the news, but then faced immediate failure, reflecting the mixed market sentiment.


The Importance of Volume Analysis: Join Me For LIVE Analysis


Volume analysis is critical when dealing with significant news releases.


For instance, observing the volume on the aggressive buying candle post-8:30 AM news can provide insights into market sentiment.


However, without clear absorption, jumping into a trade can be risky.


In today’s scenario, despite the initial upward push, the market showed signs of indecision, leading me to hold off on any immediate trades.


Double Top Formation and Strategy


As the morning progressed, Crude Oil formed a double top pattern, with the neckline identified around the 10:10 AM low.


Recognizing such patterns can help in making informed trading decisions.


In this case, I waited for a break below the neckline and a subsequent pullback to confirm the pattern before entering a trade.

At 11:25 AM, the market finally provided the setup I was waiting for: a break below the neckline followed by a pullback, which showed absorption and respect for the area.


This setup led to a profitable short position as Crude Oil pushed through the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).


Patience Pays Off


Today’s trading required significant patience and discipline.


The market did not present a clear direction early on, and it was crucial to wait for the right setup.


This approach prevented me from jumping into trades prematurely and ensured that my entries were based on solid analysis.


Key Takeaways for Retail Traders


Understanding Volume Climax


One of the main concepts highlighted today is the volume climax.


Recognizing whether a high volume move is reactionary or indicative of a sustained trend is essential.


This understanding helps in avoiding false breakouts and ensuring that trades are backed by strong market momentum.


Waiting for Confirmation


Patience is a virtue in trading.


Waiting for confirmation, such as a close above or below significant levels (like a double top neckline), can significantly improve the success rate of trades.


Today’s market action demonstrated the importance of this approach, as waiting for the right setup led to a profitable trade.


Managing Expectations


Not every trading day will be straightforward.


Some days, the market will test your patience and resilience.


It’s important to stay focused, manage your emotions, and stick to your trading plan.


Recognizing when to step back and avoid overtrading is just as important as knowing when to enter a trade.



Trading during significant economic data releases can be challenging, but with the right approach and mindset, it’s possible to navigate these periods successfully.


By focusing on volume analysis, waiting for confirmation, and managing expectations, retail traders can improve their trading performance and capitalize on market opportunities.


If you’re interested in learning more about volume analysis and other trading strategies, stay tuned for more insights and updates.


As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or for further discussion.


Appreciate you all. God bless, and I'll see you in the next video!



Happy Trading,

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell any securities.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
