    ๐Ÿ“ CLOSING THOUGHTS

    Monday proved once again that THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES come during maximum fear. When everyone was panicking about China tariffs at the open, smart money was buying with both hands.

    The comeback from -600 to +400 on the Dow wasn't luck - it was a textbook technical setup:

    • Failed breakdown

    • Extreme bearish sentiment

    • Shorts overextended

    • Fed providing dovish cover

    • Result: Violent short squeeze

    Tuesday will tell us if this was a one-day wonder or the start of a new leg higher. The small-cap leadership is extremely bullish. If we can hold these gains and build on them, we're looking at a powerful move into month-end.

    Your mission:

    1. Review this gameplan

    2. Pick 2-3 high-conviction setups

    3. Wait for your entries (don't chase)

    4. Execute with discipline

    5. Lock gains, cut losers quick

    The market is giving us a gift right now. Don't waste it by overtrading or getting emotional.

    Stay focused. Stay disciplined. Stay profitable.
