"How to Spot Profitable Setups While Others Get Whipsawed by Volatility" Nate Bear, Lead Technical Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance Hey Gang, 2025 is off to a wild start. Seven days into the new year, and we've already seen more volatility than most traders bargained for. The market can't seem to decide if it wants to push higher or roll over. But you know what? That's exactly when my best trading opportunities emerge. Sound familiar? If you're tired of getting whipsawed by market volatility, keep reading... While most investors are paralyzed trying to guess the market's next move, my S.A.M. AI scanner has been working overtime. And it just flagged something that made me do a double-take. In fact, it's giving me multiple A+ signals on a stock that most traders are completely overlooking right now. Before I reveal this opportunity, let me explain what I'm seeing in the current market... Current Market AI stocks stole the show in 2024. 2025 is set to double down on that excitement. But not necessarily the way you might think… Everyone is focused on the usual suspects - semiconductor stocks like Nvidia (NVDA) continue to press all-time highs along with Broadcom (AVGO). Yet, volatility refuses to compress, with the VIX sitting firmly at the upper end of its recent trading range. This makes me a bit uncomfortable playing big names for swing trades that last more than a week or two. Instead, I want to look for stocks with positive news that aren't tied to the broader market. In 2024, that meant playing tickers like Cava (CAVA) and Upstart (UPST). Lately, there has been a surge of interest in quantum computing companies like Quantum Computing (QUBT) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI). But while everyone else chases these high-profile names, my S.A.M. AI scanner just flagged something even more exciting... However, there is one stock that I've tracked for a long time that gained a whopping 766% in 2024… …a stock with a lovely A+ setup on the daily chart… Applovin (APP) Let me walk you through what my scanner found. APP took off in Q4 of 2024, surging after a massive earnings beat. But what has me excited isn't just the move higher - it's what happened next. The stock entered a perfect consolidation pattern, forming what I call a "pressure cooker" setup. Notice how the trend lines are converging, creating a triangle pattern that typically resolves in explosive moves. Can you see why this pattern gets me excited? But here's what makes this setup particularly special... My scanner is showing a squeeze formation at the bottom of the chart. When the Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channel (shown by those red dots), it tells me we're building up for a potential breakout. While other traders rely on outdated indicators and gut feelings, my S.A.M. AI scanner processes millions of data points per second to identify these high-probability setups. It's like having a team of analysts working around the clock, alerting you to only the best opportunities. That's not all. My S.A.M. AI scanner is giving me multiple trading options based on risk tolerance. While I typically prefer to be aggressive with these setups, I always adjust my position size based on market conditions. Look at the A+ signal lighting up my scanner. When S.A.M. starts flashing high-probability signals, I pay attention. These are the exact kinds of setups that helped me turn $37K into $2.7 million. The best part? This stock isn't tied to the broader market swings we're seeing. It's moving on its own merits, which is exactly what we want in this environment. Trading Strategy With volatility elevated, we need to be smart about how we play this. Options are not cheap for this stock. So, don't feel like you HAVE to take this trade. With my S.A.M. AI scanner, we can always find more setups. If you like this idea but don't want to lay out hundreds or thousands of dollars for the trade, consider using put credit spread or a call debit spread to keep your costs down. Or, you can always just buy a small amount of shares outright. Imagine spotting these setups day after day, knowing exactly what to look for and when to make your move. That's the power of combining AI technology with decades of trading experience. |
