Wednesday, December 17, 2025 Welcome to The Strazza Letter, a free note with market insights from me, All Star Charts Chief Market Strategist Steve Strazza. Yesterday I emailed you talking about the importance of behavior over price.   What I left out is important…   Most traders lose interest when the market goes quiet. But, that is usually when the best information shows up.   Strong stocks don't rely on excitement to hold strong. And, weak stocks will start leaking the moment excitement fades.   That difference matters.   I'll be joining Kenny tomorrow afternoon, as he breaks down how he uses the VWAP to separate the strong and the weak.   We're going to break it all down for you – live. You can learn to distinguish when price tests matter, when they don't, and when a quiet setup is building pressure.   Kenny will show you how to spot the signs of trades that deserve your capital, and how to avoid the ones that don't.   Master that skill and bigger gains in your portfolio could be right around the corner.

Wednesday, December 17, 2025 We spend a lot of time studying behavior under pressure.   December is one of the clearest examples of that behavior playing out in real time. Forced selling and year-end repositioning push prices into areas that don't reflect true supply and demand.   Once that pressure exhausts, the response tends to follow a familiar structure.   That's why tomorrow's session with Kenny matters.   He's walking through how he uses VWAP to identify those forced moves and the points where behavior shifts back toward buyers.   It's a clean, rules-based look at a pattern that's showing up now.

When price reaches them, she executes. When targets are hit, she exits.   That's it.   The track record: 171 documented trades 87% win rate 44% average gain per trade November: 22 trades, 19 winners during elevated volatility And today at 1 PM ET, you're invited to a live session where Voz walks through the full Strike Zone methodology — how the levels are built, how trades are managed, and why this structure works when volatility rises.   Register to save your spot before it's too late.
