Key Elements of the Wedge Pop
1) The Wedge Pop is the first time the market trades back up across the moving averages after a reversal extension.
2) Before the Wedge Pop, there is often a noticeable decline in volatility as the stock forms a range at the bottom of the base
Oliver generally does two types of trades
1 - Buying stocks coming out of multi month bases
2 - Pullback buys after the initial move
👇See below for an example of each type👇
Price cycle in action
$SMCI - Two back to back entries, one leading to a 70% gain and the next one leading to a 20% gain.
Wedge pop gets you into the trend, wedge drop keeps you out of trouble.

If you miss the breakout, don't chase. Instead watch the 65 min chart for a pullback to the back test area.

Among the lists that Oliver maintains, his most important one is the Top Dogs (10 names max.).
He considers this to be the best names in the market and the ones that he wants to be in.
So how does he define a Top Dog?

Summary of Oliver's thoughts on the market from last nights report:
"There are no setups so I would be suspicious of a follow through day if it occurred on day 4/5 or so.
I view the market as guilty until proven innocent and remain in cash. Just waiting.'
Key Characteristics of the Reversal Extension:
1- Look for a defined support level on a higher timeframe.
2- When price approaches the higher timeframe level, it must be extended from the 10 EMA on the lower time frame chart (air between price and the moving average).
3- When
BLBD might be the single greatest example of positive volume profiles seen. Worth printing weekly out and studying/saving imo. Volume started Dec 2022, really kicked in May 2023...then that volume was supported into Nov/Dec bottom....volume drives every big move imo.
Oliver's 10 Trading Principles:
1. Put Risk First
2. If You Fail to Plan, You Are Planning to Fail
3. Don't Trust Your Stocks, Trust Your Stops
4. Better to be Out & Want in, Than in & Want Out
5. Let your P&L Guide Your Level of Aggression
6. Only Price Pays
7. Sell Into
"A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking that all gaps fill. When in reality, most trends, in my experience, actually start with a big gap"

One of the 3 screens that Oliver runs daily is the Gappers screen.
"I will adjust up the gap % if entire market is gapping up, to focus on the strongest names.
This screen often returns same names as Bull Snorts but can yield some gems and highlight earnings movers."
