Today’s The Day!

Hey traders, it’s Bryce here.

The market was closed yesterday for Labor Day.

Today is the first opportunity traders have to make money since last Friday. And during this shortened trading week I expect to see a lot of volatility!

We need volatility to profit.

To an inexperienced trader, volatile price action can look like a bunch of meaningless and DANGEROUS chop.

Take a look at the 120%* spike from last week on N2OFF Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO), every candle represents one minute:

New traders don’t have the experience yet to recognize the most obvious patterns.

Don’t let this volatility scare you!

If you aren’t ready to trade, that’s fine. But make sure to pay attention. Because sooner or later these plays will start to make sense.

And this week will be full of great trade opportunities/lessons … 

The Next Big Stock Spike

This week, I’m looking for spikers that announce bullish news.

There needs to be a reason for the run. Just like every rocket ship needs fuel … 

Now, there’s almost an unlimited number of catalysts that could spike a stock. And still, hundreds of stocks that announce news in a single day might not even move.

• What catalysts are we looking for?
• Which catalysts should we avoid?

These are common questions that I get from new traders.

But it’s difficult to put a specific description around something as abstract as a stock catalyst.

I know that it’s a good catalyst when I see the stock start to spike. Until then … it’s just news.

The more spikes and catalysts that you see, the quicker this will start to make sense. So let’s take a look at some examples from last week.

#1: VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX)

On August 27, this company announced it would explore strategic alternatives to maximize its valuation.

That includes selling all or part of the company as well as operational improvements.

By itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you that this is a catalyst capable of spiking the stock price +100%.

I try not to predict. Instead I react.

StocksToTrade Breaking News alerted the move right when the news came out. All I had to do was wait for the chart to spike and follow my patterns.

You can see the alert overlaid on the chart below:

#2: N2OFF Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO)

On August 27, NITO announced that its solar project was granted access to a regional power supplier in Germany. 

The solar sector has shown us spikers before. And with the advent of AI, the demand for more efficient energy is higher than ever.

AI systems use a lot of energy to run their programs. And the market’s been revisiting energy projects like solar and nuclear to satisfy the demand.

Breaking News alerted this catalyst on NITO as well … Way before the price turned vertical.

Take a look at the chart below that shows the alert overlaid. Every candle represents one trading minute:

#3: Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT)

On August 29, this company announced clinical data that revealed its product could significantly reduce the morning-after symptoms that come with excessive alcohol drinking.

The product, Safety Shot, worked in as little as 30 minutes to reduce a person’s BAC and blood levels of acetaldehyde (one of the main factors that contribute to painful hangover feelings).

Once again, Breaking News alerted this move before prices shot higher.
