Welcome to The Squeeze Watch.

Many important themes and groups in the market are sitting at critical polarity levels.

Here's today's standout:

ARK Innovation ETF $ARKK is currently exhibiting a Squeeze Score of 96.1 and a Long-Term Squeeze Score of 94.

Here's what the chart looks like:

One of the best proxies for the speculative growth factor is looking vulnerable as it completes a multi-month distribution pattern.

Price is now coiling against the neckline of that formation, with volatility on the Strazza Indicator compressed across multiple timeframes, signaling a full momentum reset.

The next move out of this holding pattern could still resolve as a failed top continuation. But for now, the weight of the evidence is beginning to tilt in favor of the bears.

A Perfect Earnings Report… and a 6% Selloff

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Friday, March 13, 2026

Discount giant Dollar General $DG delivered another earnings before Thursday's opening bell… but the market wasn't impressed.

Shares of the $30B retailer fell sharply during yesterday's trading session, ending a five-quarter streak of positive earnings reactions.

The selloff also came at a very logical spot on the chart, as the stock ran directly into a key level of long-term resistance.

Here are the earnings stats from DG's report 👇

*Click the image to enlarge it

While Dollar General beat expectations on both revenue and earnings per share, shareholders were not impressed, sending the stock down -6.1% in reaction to the report. This resulted in a -1.69 reaction score.

DG reported $10.91B in revenue, beating expectations of $10.81B, and EPS of $1.93, beating estimates of $1.66.

Let's take a closer look at what happened 👇

Sales remained strong. Net sales increased 5.9% year-over-year to $10.9B, driven by higher customer traffic and larger transaction sizes. Same-store sales rose 4.3% during the quarter.
Profitability surged. Operating profit jumped 106% to $606M, and earnings per share increased 122% to $1.93, thanks to margin expansion and reduced inventory shrinkage.
Management guided for steady growth. For fiscal 2026, the company expects net sales growth of 3.7%–4.2%, same-store sales growth of 2.2%–2.7%, and EPS of $7.10–$7.35.

So the fundamentals weren't the problem.

The issue was where the stock was trading heading into the report.

Dollar General had been rewarded for five consecutive earnings reports, which helped fuel a massive rally off the 2025 lows.

But that beat streak ended at a very logical level.

You can see the stock running directly into a well-defined trendline of polarity. This level previously acted as support, and once it broke in 2023, it flipped into resistance.

In the latest Weekly Beat column, we highlighted this exact setup and outlined two potential scenarios heading into earnings.

If the stock failed at this level, it would suggest more time is needed to consolidate. But a decisive breakout above resistance could have triggered a much larger move toward the prior cycle highs.

For now, the market has chosen the first scenario.

Despite the earnings beat, the price was rejected right at the resistance.

That failed breakout suggests Dollar General likely needs more time to build a base before attempting another move higher.

Here's where the opportunity is now...

While Dollar General isn't a name we're interested in buying here, the retail sector is still producing some very compelling setups.

In the Premium Beat Report, we're tracking several retail names that are showing much stronger earnings sentiment and technical structures.

If you want to see exactly which retail stocks are on our radar, and how we're positioning around upcoming earnings events, become a member.

As a member benefit, you'll be able to join Steve Strazza for today's LIVE strategy session at 11 am ET.

We hope to see you there!

Cheers to the weekend,

-The Beat Team

Seven for seven. In the worst tape of the year.

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Thursday, March 12, 2026

Conviction is easy to talk about. It's harder to demonstrate.

Steve Strazza demonstrated it earlier today.

On the Fast Money Charts encore with JC Parets, Steve confirmed Wave Trader's track record since launch: seven trades, seven winners. Five clean doubles. Two up 90% when most members took profits. All of it in the choppiest, most sideways tape of the year.

JC's take after watching Steve walk through every trade live: "One trade pays for three years."

He is not wrong. A single Amazon trade at minimum position size — calls bought at $4.80, doubled to $9.60 the following morning — returns more than that.

Steve also walked through what he's watching now. 85% of the Wave Trader portfolio is in tech and large-cap growth. Software coiled at critical support.

The Russell 2000 retesting its prior cycle highs — the level Steve called the single most important chart in the world to him right now.

Seven for seven is the track record. The next setup is already forming.

The replay session is up now.

The same setup that called energy is showing up in tech

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Thursday, March 12, 2026

In January, the charts were showing extreme volatility compression across the energy sector.

Most people weren't watching. They were waiting for a headline to tell them why.

The headline showed up two months later. By then the trade was already running.

Earlier, Steve Strazza went live and showed the exact same setup forming in software and large-cap tech right now. The same volatility compression signal. The same coil tightening at a critical support zone. The same conditions that preceded the energy explosion — in a completely different sector.

He also confirmed the Wave Trader track record since launch: seven trades, seven winners, in the worst tape of the year.

The replay is up now. Worth your time if short-term options trading on the biggest stocks in the market is anywhere on your radar.

Watch the replay here.
