From Tight Coil to 4X

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Tuesday, June 17, 2025

When semis finally started to perk up earlier this month, I zeroed in on one of the cleanest setups I've seen in a while: Micron $MU.

It was coiling tight — right below a massive confluence of resistance. We're talking the VWAP from all-time highs and the past cycle peak from the dot-com bubble. That's serious price memory.

I don't care what you call the pattern — flag, pennant, triangle — when it winds up like that at a key level, I'm betting on a breakout.

So I stepped in and bought the MU 7/18 $120 calls for $2.40.

Three days later, they doubled. I took half off the table and let the rest ride, risk-free.

Fast forward to today… those contracts are trading above $10. That second half turned into a 4x.

Here's the MU chart we were watching:

That's the kind of move we target every week inside Breakout Multiplier.

Tight ranges. Defined risk. Explosive upside.

The Hot Corner: Paulson & Co. Reports a $100 Million $PPTA Purchase

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Every day, we sift through the filings to spot where the real conviction lies – cutting through the noise to highlight the most meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌 Perpetua Resources $PPTA – Paulson & Co. just stepped in with a massive $100 million buy.

This isn't just any fund – it's run by John Paulson, the billionaire who famously shorted the housing market during the 2008 crisis and made billions doing it.

When a trader with that kind of track record makes a move this big, we pay attention.

📌 Sonos $SONO – Coliseum Capital is back at it with a $4.1 million purchase, adding to their already sizeable stake.

This group has been steadily building a position for a while – a classic sign of high-conviction accumulation from a well-known activist firm.

Here's The Hot Corner, with data from June 16, 2025:

📌 Sionna Therapeutics $SION – Qatar Investment Authority just filed a 13G, revealing a fresh 5% ownership stake in the small-cap biotech.

A global sovereign wealth fund putting money to work here isn't something we see every day.

📌 From Capitol Hill

Rep. Tim Moore bought $90,000 to $300,000 of American Airlines $AAL and added $15,000 to $50,000 of Super Micro Computer $SMCI.

Rep. Jonathan Jackson reported a $50,000 to $100,000 buy in IBM $IBM.

Small-Caps Could Be Next

If there's one area of the market that still hasn't woken up like it should, it's small-caps.

Nobody wants them right now. The hate is real.

Bearish sentiment is building fast, and short interest in the Russell 2000 $IWM is at 18-month highs.

Investors are pressing their bets, leaning hard against these stocks. But when the crowd gets this aggressive, the unwind is rarely quiet.

Small-caps matter. They're a real proxy for market breadth — covering everything from regional banks and biotechs to industrials and other under-the-radar names. And when they move, it usually means something bigger is brewing.

Look at the Russell 2000 vs. Russell 1000 ratio sitting right on long-term support.

If small-caps are about to enter a fresh period of outperformance, this would be a logical place to start.

Notice how every major bull run this century has seen small-caps leading — at least in the short term.

We think this time is no different.

Momentum's been diverging positively for weeks now, with the 14-day RSI pushing higher even as prices grind lower.

If small-caps catch a bid here, it would be a big win for market breadth and overall market health.

We think it could happen anytime — and we want to be ready when it does.

That's when our Minor Leaguers Report comes into play. We publish it every two weeks for ASC Premium.

Here's this week's table:

In this scan we focus on small- and mid-cap names between $1B and $4B in market cap — stocks with real breakout potential.

This is where the upside lives.

These are the names that can run 5x or 10x as they climb into large-cap territory.

We've seen this movie before.

When small-caps get going, they move fast — and they bring real market strength with them.

So let's be ready to move with them.

Multiply Your Returns

Speaking of small-caps… look what Strazza's been trading lately.

ASTS used to be a small-cap. Now it's a large-cap, with the Breakout Multiplier trade going up 10X this month.

Yes, over a 1000% return!

He's now been all over BigBear.AI $BBAI — another small-cap name with massive short interest.

It's a classic squeeze setup.

Come see what he sees. Join him risk-free and don't miss the next big move.

Throwin' Darts at Bullish Charts

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Monday, June 16, 2025

Welcome to The Strazza Letter, a free note with market insights from me, All Star Charts Chief Market Strategist Steve Strazza.

I was joking with Patrick earlier, and I told him I buy every ticker he texts me these days.

"Buy first. Ask questions later."

But I was just alluding to the fact that it seems like every bullish chart pattern is working out here.

I talk to my friends about what I'm seeing and trading throughout the day, and many of us have been on the speculative growth train.

It's insane how well these junky stocks are working. And it's a longer list of them every day.

I know almost for a fact that a good deal of these are probably zeros over the long run. That doesn't matter.

What matters is that they are working now.

It's the kind of market to take shots on the crazy stuff. And we have been doing it more and more because we keep being rewarded.

It's that stage in the cycle where the worst companies are the best stocks.

It's starting to feel like one of those "throw a dart" markets again. Who remembers 2020? Good times, right?

We're going back there. Trust me, we are already well on our way. I can tell by the kinds of stocks I'm talking about and trading on a day-to-day basis.

Today, a company that makes character-themed cups and stuffed animals for Disney parks announced a reverse merger and a new MSTR-inspired treasury strategy whereby they will be buying Tron tokens instead of Bitcoin.

The market absolutely loved it, and SRM rallied over 500% on the news.

Have you noticed the IPO market is back from the dead, too?

This year's leaders range from space stocks, to quantum computing, new nuclears, and electric helicopters.

And how about the AI trade and semiconductor industry? It's back from the dead.

So when I saw BigBear.AI $BBAI come across my screen a few weeks back… I was downright giddy about it. I know exactly what to do with a stock like that in an environment like this.

First of all, it's a perfectly poetic name for a heavily-shorted hot stock.

It's the kind that rips bears' faces off once a squeeze ignites.

And with a 23% short interest, that can happen any day.

But more importantly, BBAI is one of the best-looking coil patterns out there. I'm all in on this chart. It's my largest trading position right now.

I'm in common stock, warrants, and a couple of different calls.

This is a textbook example of Brian Shannon's VWAP pinch. Price is at the apex of the coil now, and it looks like it could be starting its next big move.

The volatility squeeze indicator is at its lowest level of the year as the stock challenges a big polarity zone around $4.

This pennant formed at the upper bounds of a tactical base back in May and has been chopping in a tight range since.

I think all the supply has finally been absorbed, and the shorts are about to get squeezed as BigbearAI ramps back toward its Q1 highs.

You'll find a beautiful base-on-base pattern when you zoom out on the chart. You'll also notice just how critical the current level is.

It's more than just the VWAPs from the pivot high and low converging on price here. This $4 zone is also where the VWAP from the all-time high comes into play.

In addition, BBAI is experiencing its first weekly momentum buy signal with the PPO in positive territory. We call this kind of thing a center-line crossover. It simply means bullish momentum is coming back into the stock— but from a position of long-term strength— following some corrective action.

So I think it's decision time for BBAI, and I think the stock is going to ramp higher from here.

A lot of speculative growth names have been taking that path these days. I don't think BBAI will be any different.

I'm looking for a huge move in the coming days and weeks, and I'm positioned for it.

My team and the Breakout Multiplier members already sold some doubles in our BBAI calls, but they haven't been winners for us… at least not yet.

In fact, the calls are cheaper today than they were when we got in, and the setup is even sweeter. We're going to look to double down in the coming days.

Join us risk-free and make sure you don't miss the trade!
