Hey Trader,
Finding Joy and Resilience in Your Trading Journey
I hope this email finds you well. As you navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the trading world, I wanted to share a verse that offers profound encouragement and hope:
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
Habakkuk 3:17-18
In the unpredictable environment of trading, there will inevitably be times of difficulty and setbacks. This verse reminds us that, despite external circumstances, we can find joy and strength in our faith. Even when the market is challenging and outcomes are uncertain, maintaining a positive and resilient spirit is crucial.
Let this verse inspire you to stay hopeful and joyful, even in the face of adversity. By focusing on the bigger picture and drawing strength from your faith, you can navigate the ups and downs of the market with grace and perseverance. Remember, true resilience comes from within and is rooted in a deep sense of trust and joy.
Wishing you joy, resilience, and success in all your trading endeavors!

Failed Breakout Easily Identifiable Due To Lack Of Buying Interest
Anthony Speciale here with Hawkeye Traders. I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Today, I want to dive into the recent aggressive selloff in the S&P 500 and discuss how you could have identified a failed attempt to push higher.
This insight is crucial for intraday, swing, and position traders alike.
Recognizing the Failed Breakout
Early this morning, the S&P 500 showed some interesting activity.
Overnight, the market struggled to break through the 5660 level.
At 9:05 AM, we saw a push higher, but this was where things got interesting.
As the price reached this prior high, the volume started to decline significantly.
Why is this important? Because it indicates a lack of buyer interest above that level.
If the buyers aren't interested, there's a high chance the market will reverse, which is exactly what happened.
This isn't just hindsight; I identified this live, sharing my analysis with traders who were managing live money accounts.
Recognizing these patterns in real-time adds a layer of credibility and practicality to analysis.
The Power of Volume and Price Action
Many traders might see a breakout and immediately decide to buy, but without considering volume, this can lead to significant mistakes.
In our example, the failure to sustain higher prices due to declining buying interest was a clear signal that the market was likely to roll over.
By noon, the S&P 500 had dropped about 244 ticks, which is substantial.
This highlights the importance of not just recognizing price patterns, but understanding the underlying volume dynamics that drive these moves.
My Journey with Hawkeye
I want to share that I am not just a promoter; I am a paying customer of Hawkeye Traders.
My journey to understanding volume and price action was filled with challenges until I found Hawkeye.
There's a lot of noise in the market with various indicators and software promising wins.
However, sustainable success comes from a solid understanding of market dynamics.
That's why I emphasize mastering the relationship between volume and price action.
Join Me for a Deeper Dive
If you’re interested in gaining a deeper understanding of these concepts, I invite you to join me for a training webinar.
In this session, we will explore the relationship between volume and price action in detail.
You'll also get access to the Hawkeye Volume Mastery Series, a resource designed to help you learn at your own pace.
This isn't just about adding indicators to your chart; it's about fundamentally changing how you interpret and trade the markets.
Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, understanding these dynamics can revolutionize your trading.
Practical Application and Analysis
On my charts, you'll see hand-drawn levels and volume indicators.
While the specific levels are part of my personal analysis, the key takeaway is that volume and price action are the core components.
By hiding the drawings, what remains is the pure relationship between volume and price action, which is where the true insights lie.
Many traders might see a breakout and want to jump in, but it’s crucial to ask: Are the buyers really interested in pushing prices higher?
If not, the market is likely to reverse, as we saw today.
I encourage you to watch the video included in this blog post where I explain these concepts in real-time.
