I even sent alerts for a couple of trades, right to subscribers' inboxes.
If you missed the plays, it's OK. I'm going to break them down in detail for you here…
That way the next time there's a day one spiker, you can keep your eyes on it for moves like these…
But before I give you the trade details, it's important to understand why these stocks move the way they do.
So let's dig in, there are a lot of lessons and trade breakdowns to learn from…
Why REV Ran
When we trade low float spikers, a lot of traders know to look for patterns. But they don't know what makes the patterns work, or why a stock moves the way it does.
So let's start with the basics before we break down trade ideas…
Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) has roughly 54 million outstanding shares. But only about five to seven million shares are actively traded. Others are locked up by insiders or institutions.
And after REV announced it could file for bankruptcy, shorts were eager to get in thinking this thing was going to $0...
On June 17, REV had a morning spike above the $3 whole dollar high from Tuesday and Thursday — that's when it got my attention.
And after the morning spike, it consolidated above VWAP, then had a beautiful break above the high of the day in the afternoon. I alerted ABCD subscribers before the move. If you missed it, sign up here.
Check out the move…

And it wasn't over for REV…
The Break of Previous Days High
The markets were closed last Monday, so on Tuesday, June 21 all eyes were on REV after its Friday afternoon squeeze.
In Pre-Market Prep that morning, I said to watch for a break above the previous day's high. The high was around $4.75, but we don't nit-pick over pennies…
I was more interested in a break above $5.
That was both the Oracle level and a whole dollar level. Shorts tend to panic more above whole dollar levels.
It was also a key level that aligned on multiple time frames — it's the previous day's high, the premarket high, the 10 a.m. high, and the high of the day.
Whether you play the $4.75 or $5 break, the pattern is the same…

And I said in the SteadyTrade Team webinar, that it's a dip and rip all day…
$REV
As usual, we love the repeat names!!!! This is in total squeeze mode. Love $8 reclaims.
Target: $8 or any "whole dollar/half dollar" all the way up.
Stop: $7
Goal: $10+
REV was choppier as it traded higher…
Wednesday morning it traded massive volume as the last of the shorts got blown up, and more shorts tried to guess the top. It even had a volatility halt around 9:40 a.m.

But the plan worked.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but REV was a great example of what we look for in multi-day runners. We want to see them prove themselves and break key levels. That can indicate there's more potential upside.
But we don't just buy and hold. Especially a stock like REV that's a sketchy bankruptcy play…
I think you're crazy to hold a stock like that overnight. Bad news could come out anytime and it can get ugly.
That's why I teach traders how to day trade based on specific patterns...
If you buy at $5 and sell at $5.50 are you going to get rich? No.
But can you potentially make a couple of hundred bucks? Yes.
Then you rinse and repeat that over time.
The goal, in the beginning, is to learn the patterns and start with a small size. Then size up when you have more experience.
Eventually, it won't end well for REV. But in the meantime, it could hang around for a few weeks and offer more trading opportunities.
That's why I'm in SteadyTrade Team webinars every morning and afternoon. So if there's a potential trade, we'll be ready!
Have a great day everyone. See you back here tomorrow.
