There's been a long running debate between the technical analysis chartists and the fundamentalists and both sides can make their case for being "right".  Both sides often think that their way is best and the other side is full of you know what...

Since no one can predict the future how did the recent job news data on Friday just two days after the FOMC announcement "cause" the markets to erase all those gains?

Which side are you on? Get the "inside scoop!"

We frequently get asked about various funded trading programs and we've reviewed plenty of them but historically never participated in or recommended any of them.

Until recently.

Trading is not easy, but can be life changing.

We seldom meet a trader who isn't passionate about generating supplemental income, or even better, someone who desires to quit their day job to become a full time trader.

But many find that can be easy to say but hard to do.

Ride sharing service Lyft (LYFT) is scheduled to report earnings results after the bell today.  Compared to the category leader Uber, Lyft's stock price couldn't be moving more opposite over the past few years since going public.

For this reason we wanted to review their chart from a price action technical analysis perspective.

By definition, a bear market is when price drops 20% or more from its recent or all time highs.  So for the S&P 500 ticker /ES one could say that technically speaking the bear market is over because price is now approximately 15% off the all time high set back in October 2021.

But is the recent run up simply a "Bear Market Rally" or are the bulls firmly back in charge gunning for new all time highs?  See this before your next trade!

Follow along with ChartPros Founder Tom Winterstein as he charted in real time and walked through step by step to identify bi-directional levels of interest for the S&P 500 (ticker /ES). 

His analysis takes you through the last couple of months of 2022 and into 2023 and you'll see all the details as well as amazingly where price went to versus the anticipated levels so far.

Seems like all the self proclaimed charting experts are suddenly appearing to claim that they "knew" that Bitcoin (ticker BTC) was going to top out and make the free fall that it did... Not so fast my friends!

For well over the past year traders have been asking us what we thought about Bitcoin and our honest answer has consistently been "it doesn't matter what we think about Bitcoin but what's important is what story the BTC chart has been telling us... You just have to know how to listen to it and pickup on the clues that it provides."
