Things are really looking up for the old equity complex. There was a distinct pressure put on by the Russell and Big Tech and those are the departments of progress.
We shot down that dang communist spy balloon over the desert. Good riddance. I am due west in a few days and the last thing I need is those tic tock drones eyeballing my anus whilst I sun it in the high desert.
That’s right folks, I am heading off the plantation for a bit. Stepping out of the proverbial fish tank so I can better see the stew I’ve been swimming inside of.
It has been too long. Yes, I’ve been to Lake Tahoe a few times, and Miami (cheesy) and Philadelphia (wonderful). But I haven’t commissioned a large vehicle to drive around the mountains and just heckin’ be left alone since before the forced lock down.
I think I really need it. I am right on the edge.
I’ve somehow found myself wrapped up in this scam where if I do not completely occupy my time with projects and tasks, other expect me to do their tasks. The fuck?
Does that sound like any way to live?
Alls I want is to hustle the opening bell, grow my dang tobaccos and corns and then sashay around town spreading cheer.
Maybe soon.
But first I bought myself eight more months of work. My dream home. I cannot wait to show you lads this beauty.
Right, anyhow, models continue to signal bullish into the first full week of February, therefore I shall be pressing risk early and often.
I pulled the trigger and out came the missiles.

III. Stocklabs ACADEMY
Five more days of bullish signals
Pressing winners can be tough, especially with all the news flow being so dire. I find it helps to tune out as much outside influence as possible and just do what the models say.

Range breakouts

In theory, the longer the compression leading up to a break in balance, the more order flow energy to push the discovery phase.
Market are most often in balance.
Every week this newsletter uses auction theory to monitor three instruments, the Nasdaq Transportation Index, PHLX Semiconductor Index and ethereum
Transports went into discovery up last week. I sort of mapped out a potential new range, but this index appears to be in discovery up.
We don’t know.
See below:
Semiconductors made a strong move higher and away from their recent consolidation. There could be a new range forming here.
Ether has weak lows, but we’re spending a lot of time establishing a new value a bit higher than those weak lows. Nothing to be too excited about if you’re a bull.
V. INDEX MODEL
Bias model is extreme Rose Colored Sunglasses for a second week. E(RCS) calls for a calm drift, perhaps with a slight upward bias.
