Fusion Fuel Green (NASDAQ: HTOO) spiked almost 50%* yesterday morning in less than an hour! 

And I was pretty sure it would…

Why? 

Because the setup was textbook. 

It’s one of my favorite patterns and it can lead to some explosive moves… 

And best of all, it shows up almost every single day. 

All the other setups I teach are laid out and explained in my 10 Trading Patterns You Need To Know eBook. This resource is a must-have in every trader’s toolkit!

And if you’re looking for yet another trade that’s just as powerful, you need to check out my Monday Setup.

If you don’t already know about it, listen up!

Every Monday, the market kicks back into gear after a weekend of rest… And that reset creates a unique opportunity!

Right at 9:30 am Eastern, as the opening bell rings, we look for a very specific setup that often shows up like clockwork.

And it has delivered some incredible wins!

Take this past Monday, the 21st…

ProMIS Neurosciences (NASDAQ: PMN) gained a massive 264%* after the company announced that its Alzheimer’s drug candidate had been granted Fast Track status by the FDA.

These are the kinds of morning spikes we hunt for every Monday!

Watch the video below for the full trade breakdown and strategy tutorial.

The setup that led to HTOO’s big run yesterday is one that I’ve been trading for years…

It’s consistent, high-probability, and one of the cleanest ways to trade fast-moving stocks with structure and confidence. 

Why the Red Candle Theory Works

I’ve relied on the RCT setup for much of my trading career…

Not because it hits every time, but because it’s repeatable, logical, and rooted in discipline.

It’s a pattern that forces you to slow down, watch price action develop, and wait for confirmation, instead of chasing hype or acting on emotion.

The truth is that most bad trades start when you jump in too early.

The RCT keeps you patient, it gives you a framework, and when it plays out right, the risk/reward ratio is excellent.

How to Spot the RCT in Real Time

Here’s the step-by-step process to catch this setup like a pro:

  1. Look for a Vertical Move

This is usually driven by news, earnings, or hype in a hot sector.

Look for that strong, impulsive move, especially in low-float stocks that can fly.

  1. Wait for the First Red Candle

This is where discipline kicks in. Don’t chase the move.

Wait for that first 5-minute red candle after the vertical move. That’s your signal that the stock is pausing, pulling back, and potentially setting up for the next move.

  1. Confirm High and Tight Consolidation

Not every red candle is a buy signal.

You want that pullback, or red candle, to stay high and tight, which is a sign of strength.

 

If the stock drops too far off the highs, skip it.

This is the make-or-break part of the setup.

  1. Plan the Trade

Use the high of the red candle as your entry level, and the low of the red candle as your stop loss.

This gives you a clear risk level before you ever hit “buy.”

  1. Wait for the Breakout

Now sit tight and wait for the breakout above that red candle’s high.

That’s your confirmation. That’s when you know to enter.

No guessing. No chasing. Just structured execution.

HTOO’s RCT from Yesterday

Yesterday morning in pre-market, Fusion Fuel Green (NASDAQ: HTOO) did all of the things I listed above…

First, it dropped news of a strategic partnership.

Shortly after, the stock spiked big time.

The first red candle posted right after that vertical move. It was high and tight and gave us our entry of $10.20.

The next candle hit the entry and the trade was on…

Within an hour, HTOO ran to a high of $15.21, for a gain of 49%*.

Not too shabby!

Wrapping It Up…

The RCT is one of the cleanest, most disciplined ways to trade momentum.

It keeps you calm. It makes you wait. It keeps you structured…

And best of all, it’s based on real data, not just hope.

You’re waiting for the chart to confirm the move… and then executing with a concrete system in place.

Remember, patience pays.

Plan your trade. Trade your plan…

Let the chart do the heavy lifting.
