Every once in a while, the market serves up a trade pattern that flips the script on traders who thought they had it all figured out.
A great example of this is what happens at the beginning of every week.
Haven’t heard about my Monday Setup yet? Let me explain how it works…
Every Monday, the market kicks back into gear after its weekend nap… And that reset creates a unique opportunity!
As the first session of the week gets started, there’s a specific pattern we look for, one that appears again and again with uncanny consistency.
And it has delivered some unbelievable gains!
Just look at what happened last Monday…
Eightco Holdings ran up 340%* (!) after dropping news that a big industry titan was joining its board of directors.
These are the kinds of morning spikes we hunt for every Monday!
Now I want to teach you how to spot them for yourself!
Watch the video below for the full trade breakdown and strategy tutorial for my Monday Setup.
Trade opportunities like the Monday Setup start quietly…
Then, almost out of nowhere, momentum builds, emotions take over, and the move snowballs into something much bigger.
Last week, we spotted another type of setup early, and the payoff was worth the wait as we watched our stock shoot up 20%+* in less than 15 minutes!

The Thrill of the Friday Short Squeeze
If you’ve been around trading long enough, you’ve probably heard phrases like “late-day squeeze,” “Friday squeeze,” or “low-float squeeze.”
No matter what you call it, all of them involve panicked short sellers scrambling to cover their positions.
It usually starts with a catalyst, maybe a surprise earnings beat or unexpected positive news, that forces shorts to hit the exit button all at once. Their buying creates momentum, and suddenly the stock spikes…
For traders on the long side, this is where the fun begins. For shorts, it’s pure pain.
Every Thursday night, I dig through the market looking for a short squeeze setup to share with subscribers to my Squeeze Master Pro service. I publish the ticker, my analysis, exact trade instructions, and even a video breakdown.
And last week’s pick, Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ: WLDS), delivered exactly the kind of move I look for.
Why WLDS Caught My Eye
I love the low-float Friday squeeze setup, and WLDS was a textbook example. The stock had already shown it could spike, pull back a bit, but never break down. That told me traders were watching.
Then there was the float, which was just 840K shares. Anything under 10 million is considered small, so this was tiny.
The smaller the float, the easier it is for a stock to rotate shares and squeeze higher. When supply is tight and demand surges, prices can move fast, and that’s the kind of price action I projected for WLDS Thursday night.
How the Play Unfolded
In my Weekly Squeeze Report, I told subscribers to look for an entry at $9.70. On Friday morning, the stock dipped in pre-market…
Then came the news catalyst that sent short sellers into panic mode… and the squeeze was on!
Within 15 minutes of WLDS hitting my entry price of $9.70, the stock spiked to a high of $11.64, for a lightning-fast 20%* win.
Once the price started rising, shorts got trapped and were forced to cover, and the buying pressure pushed shares even higher.
The chart below tells the whole story…

This is the power of a short squeeze. When shorts panic, their losses have no ceiling — and that desperation creates some of the most powerful moves in the market.
Wrapping It Up…
Friday squeezes are a personal favorite of mine. They often provide multiple trading opportunities within the same session, and by the closing bell, you’re out for the weekend….
No overnight risk, no waiting, just fast-moving setups you can play in real time.
And the best part is that these squeezes happen again and again because trader psychology doesn’t change. Shorts overstay, panic sets in, and longs ride the upside.
