You know i won't take too much of you guys time, let's actually just dive right into it. One of the things that i did want to, let you guys know is before we even start um at the end of this. If it is something that you want to partake in uh, we are running an easter sale uh for our learn plan: profit, 2.0 team. So again, if you've been waiting for a sale to join my team, that's the second link down below it's a hundred dollars off and also fourth link in the description, all tech buds apparel.

You guys get free shirts with every order. Today. All you have to do is add it to your cart and then the shirt gets discounted, uh for free, so uh. One of the things that i quickly want to talk about is right.

Now i was looking at the nasdaq futures um and i posted it on my instagram. If you guys don't follow me on instagram, it's actually in the description. Um nasdaq market is down one percent and that's actually pretty significant. So this means that tqqq will be down.

If the market holds where it's at right now, three times that so when the nasdaq market or nasdaq futures are down one percent, then that means that t qq will be down three percent so based off of current um. The current data that the nasdaq market is telling us it looks like we're going to be opening up right around that 45 dollar price point: a question that a lot of people have been having is: are we going to be retracing it back to that 40 or 38 dollar level for tqqq or for previous lows for the overall nasdaq market right, the cpi data came out. It definitely was not great. It's the highest inflation rate that we've had in my lifetime: uh highest inflation we've had in the past 40 years uh, but you know as long as, hopefully we can work towards that being the peak.

Hopefully we can make some steady progress moving forward, so um yeah. Let's go ahead and just start breaking these down, so i want you guys to know that current market sentiment is bearish now i view this as one of two things, if you're an investor, the way that i view this is sale, sale, sale, sale like there's. No other way that i you know you still want to watch your position size. You don't want to be impulsive and put yourself in a bad position but think about it.

Think about all the companies that you value, they're, probably discounted right now. If your intention is not to sell anytime soon right, if you're, not day, trading or a short term swing trade, if you're here to invest, i view it as a sell. It doesn't mean that the market has to recover right away. But it's a simple question that you can ask yourself is: can you tolerate the time that it will take for the market to recover and if your intention is to sell years from now, then i personally don't think it's you know a horrible time to at least Build that investing watch list as the nasdaq market is a little bit more in the red than it is in the green.

It's not that the market has to recover right away, but again it's something that, as of right now, is a little bit more on the cheaper side. With that being said, when it comes down to traders, you guys need to understand that if market direction is not in your favor or if the market's choppy it makes it more difficult to day trade, this doesn't mean that it's impossible. It just means that it should encourage you to be more selective, so instead of trying to trade every single day, you guys know i always try to look out for you guys be selective. Ask yourself: are you actually seeing a true trade opportunity, or are you just choosing to wanting to trade, because you can't - and i think that's where you really need to limit yourself and hold yourself back discipline structure, making sure that when you choose to trade, it's because It's an opportunity worth taking advantage of so as of right now nasdaq market in the red.

Let's go ahead and move on and start breaking these stocks down. So again, if you guys want me to break down your stock, let's just make sure that we share it. Uh in the live chat so love that shirt. Thank you.

I appreciate that so again, this shirt's from tech, but apparel you guys, can get one of these shirts for free with any order. If you guys buy a mouse pad, add your favorite shirt and you get it for free. Today, that's at shoptechbuds.com, just a little heads up on that uh. Let's go ahead and break this down, so we got sq, of course, so sq also known as block now.

It's no longer square right, uh, four hour time frame very bearish um. It looks like it's been trading below the moving average for quite some time. It pushed up with the rest of the market and, as the market is now pulling on back then again, sq continues to pull on back. One of the questions that i always like to ask myself is one of you know first off, what's your intention? If your intention is to invest, then you know it makes sense on why you're trying to buy the dip, but one of the things that you need to also understand is that direction has not been in your favor, probably for the past year, when it comes down To square right or when it comes out to sq, it's been very bearish very consistently selling off.

Yes, it's very cheap, but i just would hate for you to buy and then it just continues to sell off. So if you decide to buy it early and again, if your intention is not to sell anytime soon, then just make sure that you do it with a dollar amount that you can tolerate right, knowing that it doesn't have to recover right away it most likely won't And you can always average up into your position, especially when direction is so unclear. I would i'd be pretty careful with this one um and if it begins to recover, set those alerts and then know when to step on the gas. So so are you more bearish or bullish this week, uh one nothing right now right, but uh? Where do i i mean based off of nasdaq futures right now, i would say that the market looks more bearish than it does bullish.

Based, i mean you do your own due diligence, you guys can look at nasdaq futures right now and they're in the red so and they're in the red, quite a bit pretty significant, so um, let's go ahead and go to soxl. So again, we're going to be breaking down 10 different stocks. So if you guys want me to break down your stock, first smash that, like button and second share it in the live chat, so soxl very consistently bearish. It's been selling off based off of its previous high of 74.

um. I forgot what the inverse of this one was or is, but um yeah as of right now very bearish, uh, consistently selling off on the four hour time frame. We might be able to see it a little bit more clear, i'm i personally. This is just my style of trading uh.

I don't like to over complicate it. I don't like to overthink it if direction is not in my favor, if it's selling off, i always tell myself: do yourself a favor and just don't trade it? It's not. You know yeah. You could have made money.

Maybe on this like short-term rally, if you like those trades, that's up to you, it's not that it's easier right! It's not that it's easy, but it's easier when direction is in your favor as of right now, soxl is super bearish, just look at it. For the past, for the past year, right since the beginning of this year, it's been selling off lower highs, lower lows and consistently. Why would you put yourself in an unfortunate position like that right, it's a triple leverage, etf! It's it's not looking like it's getting any better. It's retesting previous lows: it's just it's not worth it for me! Um! You can set an alert and if it begins to indicate signs of recovery, then you know maybe that you can choose to average up into that position, but as of right now, i just wouldn't care too much about it.

What's going on justin kenny, my boy, how you doing so? U l t a! I like that? U l t a so! This is ulta. If i'm not mistaken, yep there, it goes. Who would have thought right, ulta that beauty store right. Probably your girlfriend shops there higher highs and higher lows consistent, it's bullish, you know.

Let me say this: is this a stock that is consistently you know, or is this a stock that offers huge margin, huge roi? No, not necessarily right we're approaching previous highs. It's a little bit more on the overbought side. I wouldn't view this as a great deal, but it's bullish and it's bullish during a very uncertain time. I think that's something to to know of this stock that even during uncertain times, this company itself has been able to perform exceptionally well and that, i think very admirable right.

This was the pullback that we experienced if i'm not mistaken during covid, and that we have made a steady recovery since then. Let's actually look at the percentage growth yep 234 percent. I remember going to the beauty store. I don't know about you guys with my girlfriend, and you know i've been to these stores.

How cool is that, though, right you go to these stores, you don't even know that they're publicly traded. I can almost reassure you, ask your girlfriend or your significant other if they wear makeup um, do they shop at ulta and it's insane right. I - and this is a mistake that i make often as well is sometimes i feel like our generation is so caught up in only investing in innovative companies and companies like eevee tech. You know um ai stuff, like that, yet there's companies that have been well established and are just killing it.

So you know, i think this is very eye-opening that not only do you want to go for those innovative companies, but sometimes consistency outweighs almost everything else. So uh great pick kenny uh the only thing with this uh or justin uh, the only thing with this it's a little bit more on the overbought side. Definitely you know still bullish uh, just not much margin right. So i would view this to be more of an investment.

A long term play definitely not so much of a day, trade at least not for myself. So all right, so let's go ahead and just break down ruby on, because i don't want it to get spammed like that, all right, so riveon, consistently bearish um. You guys know how i feel about ev companies. I feel like every ev company out there always tries to compare themselves, obviously to tesla.

They never follow through with their expectations. They never follow through with any of their deliverables in no way right. They are years behind tesla and even tesla. Now again, if you think about it other than having elon tesla as a company, now still has its struggles right.

Yes, they are progressing at a very rapid rate um, but these companies are so far behind. I think that these can potentially be long-term investments, but just like nicola, just like lucid just like nio and just like rivion they're wannabe tesla companies isn't how i view them. They have a lot to prove and none of them have ever followed through with proper performance. So um, i would view this kind of like a high-risk, high-reward type of investment uh, but as of right now, i'm going to keep it very short and sweet.

It's not trading above the moving average. It's making lower highs, lower lows. I say let it bleed the more it sells off the cheaper. I can get it for and then, when it does begin to indicate signs of a recovery, then that's when i can choose to follow up with it and actually take action uh.

But as of right now, why over complicate it, let it bleed the more it bleeds the cheaper it'll be the better it is for us. So let's move on from that one we got. I am pp. What's up what's up, i did hear about this.

One uh yeah, it was petrol, 14, so yeah it looks like in my opinion, this looks like some form of manipulation volume. Just really uh picked up out of nowhere to highs of one dollar and 57 cents, and then uh looks like it ah yeah. So it hit highs of one um 157 and then retraced right on back just based off of its overall performance. I don't see this hype ever lasting right, even if it does pump up if those are the type of trades that you want to take ivvs as high risk high reward short-lived trades.

These are not something that you want to get caught holding and then all it does is sell off for the remainder of the life of the stock right, you can tell he had no volume and then all of a sudden look at the volume bars right here. Obvious signs of manipulation and the same thing is happening now, based off of recent patterns. There's nothing wrong with trading these. That's not what i'm here to say.

I know that there's a lot of different ways on how to make money in the market. I just want you to be aware of when things are getting manipulated, because people will feed you the idea that they're not getting manipulated that it's normal. This is not normal. Don't sell yourself that that fallacy of this documents very easy to see.

There's hype, there's momentum! You can either take advantage of it, be very effective with your exit and or you know where you manage your risk and then move on to the next one. If you suck at risk management, i would not trade any of these pumping dumps. So all right, let's see who else puts it in the ticker call-out format, all right, let's break down lulu, so lulu's. Definitely uh was a really strong performing stock and then all of a sudden, it really began to not perform as well as it was before right.

So this is a company that did very very well during the pandemic, even after they sold off to lows of 128, they hit highs of 485. They pulled on back right to lows of sub 300 began to trade above the moving average, actually indicating signs of an uptrend, so we're gon na go to the four hour time frame. We could see that it's now trying to indicate signs of a reversal. I would look out to see if you know it's barely began to trade above the moving average.

What hasn't been two weeks, it's great to see that. But again we can't be surprised if this thing pulls back right in a couple of days. It's either gon na. Try to retrace back to the ema and or retrace back to the moving average.

Let's see, let's see if it can hold and make higher lows. If you're part of my learn plan profit group, you know exactly what we're talking about literally doing the exact opposite of what it was doing when it was trading below the moving average. Now that we're trading above it i wanted to see and actually make these higher lows and higher highs so very excited to follow up with it and would love to see lululemon return back to that nearly 500 trading price point. So all right, let's go ahead and move on to the next one, so b, p t all right: let's go ahead and break this one down again.

If i'm breaking down your stock make sure you smash that, like button bpt, very consistent, very bullish, again pretty admirable right uh one hour time frame, i can tell right away that this has very low volume, because of that i personally would not trade it myself. Just a little heads up, let's see what the upside margin is right does the yep risk to reward ratios could definitely be. There looks like it's trying to find it support at the moving average we'll see if it actually ends up breaking above it. It's a little bit more clear to see on the on the one hour time frame, but we can see that we have the potential to pull back to just like we did last time right.

We pushed up. We became very overbought very easy to see with this rsi indicator. We retraced back to the moving average. So the great thing about this is you know.

Why would i wait for this thing to pull back well? If we wait for it to pull back validate the support, then we can make money on the recovery right, so we want there to be great upset margin when we choose to buy something. So yes, it would be great, it doesn't have to pull all the way back to the moving average. It can break back above the ema and then continue to rally great that's confirmation. You can choose to get in there or it can pull back down to the moving average much more margin there.

We wait for those three stages of a reversal. Again, our learn plan. Profit group. You guys should know exactly what i'm talking about rejection, consolidation and then confirmation wait for confirmation average up into the position and then lock in profits at previous highs and or leave some money in the market for it to continue to run so nvidia.

The video very popular stock - let's go ahead and break this one down so nvidia approaching previous lows at 200. I'm actually really happy that you brought this one up this one's solid right now. Do you guys see this for the past? What three four months we've been finding a support right, we always say this patterns tend to repeat themselves. They do not always have to.

If i were to ask you where is nvidia's current support range, i think it's pretty safe to say that you know when it sold off it bounced here. It recovered bounce here recovered bounced here recovered. We are retesting that support level. When i say this of patterns tend to repeat themselves, they don't always have to it's.

It's not guaranteed that we're going to bounce here that we're going to hold. We could break below 200 this time, but this is great because it's cheap, we can pay attention right. We can set our alert and, if all of a sudden, this thing begins to indicate signs of an uptrend, then great, you know we're still at a cheap price point: let's go ahead and see what the upside potential is based off. Previous highs, 30, not bad again.

It's all dependent on your risk to reward ratio. Does it meet your criteria? Did we wait for confirmation? This is like the three stages of a reversal rejection. We wait for consolidation and then we wait for the break above the ema and that's the confirmation. Then that's when we can follow up and step on the gas.

I think that this is a great setup, but it doesn't have to recover. So this is why we set alerts on both sides for the break above and the break below it's not that we need it to recover. If it does, i can choose to trade it and if it doesn't, then i don't care right, because i'm not going to jump into it without that confirmation, that's the idea of discipline and structure bind when it makes sense, not just not just because you can there's A big difference anytime that you can do something. You should really begin to ask yourself why you're doing it, so i would love to follow up with the video out of all the stocks we've broken down so far.

This would have to be my favorite trade setup that we've broken down so one two, three four, five, six, seven, eight we're gon na do two more breakdowns, two more breakdowns. If you guys want me to break down your stock smash that like button and make sure that you share it in the live chat all right, so we got leo martinez. What's going on my guy, so leo martinez is asking me to break down tesla. I don't know how many of you guys would like me to break this one down, but what is happening right now? Well, the nasdaq market is dropping and again, as the nasdaq market drops so will tesla.

This is one thing that you must understand: it's it's not always, and it's not guaranteed, but you know: tesla's considered a tech stock to some degree yeah, it's an automotive maker, but again it does have an influence on not only the s p, 500. But, of course, the nasdaq and with that being said, as of right now, yes, we're trading below the ema line. Yes, it's cheap, but the nasdaq market is in the red and the more that the nasdaq market is in the red. It will most likely drag tesla down with it.

It's about market sentiment, it's not just about the market right. This is the downside of stocks being publicly traded. They get influenced by overall market sentiment, so if the market's bullish it helps the stock. If the market sentiment is bearish, meaning that it's selling off, then it's unfortunate for the stock, it's easier for the stock to continue to slide.

It's not going to be a surprise. If you know we hit the low 900 dollar price uh the low 900s uh for tesla, i would love to follow up with it. I think you know, especially as we approach closer to the moving average right around 9 30. I would love to add more to my position, but i i'm not over complicating my you know: swing trades nor my long-term investments.

My intention is not to sell anytime soon. So if it sells off, you know, i view it as a dip buy opportunity. But that's my intention just because i see value in something does not mean that you should as well right. I'm not going to be like other youtubers, where i think that my opinion is better than yours, or what i invest in is better than you right at the end of the day.

We're all adults, i'm here to encourage you to look out for yourself. Do the best for your future self? So again, it's not just asking yourself what is the best for me now, but also what's for what's the best for me in the future, and i think that's a great way to kind of look at the market in a very level-headed way. I hope that you can appreciate that, so let's go ahead and i'll do two more breakdowns. How about that two more breakdowns, if you guys want me to break down your stock, make sure you share it in the live chat.

Let's see it dj. What's going on my guy what's up what's up, i want to see who posts this in the ticker call-out format, let's see if anyone uh takes time to post it in the ticker call-out format, so upst so upstart. So that's going to be one, but i'm going to do one more breakdown. What's going to be the one after upstart upstart, very bearish, consistently selling off, and yes, although it might have great growth potential as of right now, it's still selling off direction is not our favorite doesn't matter how great the company might be trying to do? It's not! It's not following through with its performance, it's super bearish.

There's no reason for me to over complicate it. Yes, it has great upside potential, but right now it's trading at 82 and it used to trade at 400. You need to understand that you know hey, there's so much margin up here. I don't need to be a perfect trader.

That's that's not real right, that's not realistic, set an alert, and if it begins to recover, i would love to buy. I don't care i'll, buy it 200 i'll buy at 250.. I want to buy one direction is in my favor. I want to buy when it's actively indicating signs of an uptrend, and i think that you guys would agree right if you want to buy now.

Just watch your position size, you know it's going to be unfortunate if it continues to sell off, but it's very easy to see that it's definitely still bearish. So we got ac all right, ac and then aaa, i think, was shared by justin. So i'll go ahead and break those down, so no, i think you're trying to ask me to do air canada, but the ticker for air canada, i do not believe, is ac. So what's a i've done, this breakdown before very consistent, very bullish justin.

I like the way that you have your watch list set up. I really do very consistent, very bullish. It's not that it's the most! You know um impressive, huge roi potential. It's just consistent! It's reliable and people might be looking at this and be like.

Oh, that's boring, but guess what? How how much have you been struggling to grow your account as the market's been pulling back with all those very innovative companies right sometimes consistent can outweigh any of those innovative companies when they're not performing the best right when consistency and direction are not there and it Becomes much more difficult, so sometimes keeping it simple is ideal. I like this one hey. I look at this one uh, pretty often when i try to type in american airlines and then this thing ends up popping up. I love how it's been performing for the past year, very consistent, very reliable, very bullish.

It looks like it's been retesting the ema line and it just continues and continues to make higher highs and higher lows. I think that this is a based off of its performance. I think it's a great stock as right now, based off of recent patterns, looks like it might be a little bit more at a resistance level based off the moving average, but we'll see, i would set an alert for the break above a break below and see If it i mean honestly, almost for the past what two weeks it looks like it's been kind of struggling, maybe it's hitting a little rut a little bit more at that resistance level. So we haven't been making much progress when it comes down to that.

So maybe we're getting ready to pull on back, i'm trying to see maybe we're getting ready to retrace back to the moving average. So just look out for that. I'll do one more breakdown, just because um that other one was not ready. So we got um i'll.

Do that one so ttd, so i think that's trade desk right! Oh that's wrong! One yeah trade desk alrighty, so trade s, definitely not as consistent, definitely not as reliable, lower highs, lower lows. You know no full direction in our favor, this one's a little bit more uh inconsistent in the way that it's trading and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just asking yourself: are you making it? Are you making your trading more complicated by focusing on stocks that are not trading as consistent direction? Is not in your favor? It's selling off you guys can see the lower highs right, lower highs and lower lows. It's just you're, making it more difficult for yourself.

Yes, you might be hoping that it recovers, but hope is not something that you want to work with when it comes down to the market. I can hope that a stock does anything i can. I can dream for it, but that doesn't mean anything right. Let the charge do the talking, let their reports, let their fundamentals.

Do the talking right now. As of right now, you guys can see lower highs, lower lows, it's not looking good as of uh right now and uh. We can set an alert, maybe when it begins to at least trade sideways or begins to indicate more signs of an uptrend. We can follow up with it, but as of right now it just does not look like um something i would personally want to partake in myself.

So uh yeah, i mean that's really just it. One of the last things that i quickly wanted to talk about is um a big focus for this upcoming week, of course, uh justin. I appreciate you tuning in. I just wanted to say a couple last minute reminders this week and the weeks that follow last week was one of the first weeks um it's earnings.

A lot of companies are going to be reporting. Earnings. Netflix is reporting earnings. If you're new to trading, you need to understand that this is this dust.

This influences the market pretty significantly and if you are unaware of that, maybe sitting on the sidelines before you just jump into any stock and hoping that earnings is in your favor right now is probably not the best time. I don't want to hold you back from doing anything that you want to. So if you think that you're informed enough to take advantage of an opportunity, do it right, you're, an adult you, you take care of that. But if you are new to trading - and you really want to take it seriously with structure and implement discipline - and this is your first time ever experiencing an earnings season - this is when companies report their their quarterly earnings and depending if they meet or exceed their expectation.

The stock will either rise or it will tank an example. Facebook reported earnings last quarter and it was the biggest drop in the stock market's history. It dropped 20 and it lost 220 billion dollars. Think about that! That's facebook right now is not a time to mess around when it comes down to that.

You need to understand that sometimes playing it safe and staying cash. It's not just maybe the safe play, but it could also be a very smart play, especially if you're trying to take trading seriously, if you're trying to focus on what's important and that's learning how to trade, i'm just trying to look out for you. I hope that you guys can see that um. If you guys want to jump into it.

You know be my guest, but i just want to make sure that i know that i try to do my part and looking out for our beginner traders so again friendly, reminder um when it comes down to our um easter sunday sale right.
