Trend Signal Now: Why “good earnings” so often disappoint

Thursday, January 22, 2026

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

Most traders approach earnings backwards.

They start with the report.
They react to the headline.
They assume a "beat" should lead to a breakout.

But price rarely agrees.

In reality, the biggest earnings winners tend to move before the announcement and the biggest disappointments often come from companies that already looked "perfect" on paper.

In my upcoming live training, I'll walk through the one earnings framework I use to identify when institutional capital is already committing — before the crowd, before the breakout, and often before the narrative catches up.

In this session, I'll cover:

Why strong earnings often fail to produce upside
How real leaders separate before reports hit
What to look for on the chart when institutions are positioning
How to turn earnings season into a repeatable breakout opportunity

We'll do this with real charts, live examples, and a full walkthrough of the framework — so you leave the session with an understanding how price, structure, and accumulation reveal intent.
