Take this trade if momentum cracks again

A breakthrough scanner is quietly exposing where big money is building positions—hours before Wall Street reacts. While most traders wait for lagging alerts, this tech lights up the next potential move before momentum even sparks. Catch the setup before the crowd piles in. See how it works here.

Good Afternoon,

You ever notice how the market sells off, pops for a day or two, then dumps again?

It’s not random. There’s a pattern to it.

Every so often you get a stretch where there are literally zero buyers. No stocks breaking out. No fresh momentum. Funds step aside, algos turn off, retail is frozen, and the market just bleeds lower with nobody stepping in.

That’s where the fast money windows open up. You’ll see a reflex bounce, a quick squeeze that lures a few traders back in, and then a sharp move lower as the big money unloads into that pressure. Lower highs. Lower lows.

I call this a zero-bid setup. I’ve written about it before as part of the 1% pattern. It isn’t complicated, but you have to know what you’re looking at:

Track momentum: When the number of stocks breaking out drops to nothing, that’s your sign the smart money has stepped aside.
Watch the moving averages: Nothing good happens under the 20-day or the 50-day EMA. With momentum gone, downside trades get cheap and fast.
Time your entry: After the little squeeze pop fades, you’ve got a clean, high-odds shot to the downside before the market finds footing again.

This is exactly what I’m stalking right now. If we see that break, this setup could deliver a fast, two-to-three-week trade where you step in cheap, ride the momentum flush, and take profits while everyone else is frozen on the sidelines or buying the fake bounce.

Most traders won’t even see it. They’ll hesitate, they’ll second-guess, or they’ll wait for the media to explain it after the move is already over. But these zero-bid windows are where real money gets made fast, if you’re ready.

I walk through it all in this clip, including how I spot these zero-bid days, what triggers I watch, and how I’d size the trade if it fires.

Why You Can’t Afford to Miss the Room

Trades like this don’t sit around waiting to be found. By the time you see them on a chart later in the day, the easy entry is already gone.

That’s why I walk through these setups live every morning with members, tracking momentum shifts as they happen, pointing out the levels that matter, and talking through the trade before the crowd knows it exists.

You won’t get that from a headline or a replay. These moves only offer edge in the moment, and if you’re not in the room when they’re setting up, you’re already late.

Blake’s 10% Edge

While I’m setting up these macro and sector shots, Blake’s running his own futures playbook.

Last night, his system fired 12 setups and nailed 10 winners, stacking quick gains while most traders were done for the day. Then this morning, he went 3-for-3 in under 90 minutes, firing off fast, mechanical trades before most people even knew what the market was doing.

That’s the kind of repeatable process he brings every session. Clear beacons planned out the night before, disciplined execution the next morning, aiming for 10% months without staring at screens all day.

Tomorrow at 2 PM ET, Blake kicks off a new 12-week Mastermind where he’ll show you exactly how he sets those beacons, plans his trades, and pulls results like this live with you in the room.

If you’re tired of seeing trades like these after they’ve already happened, this is your chance to be there before the market moves.

Reserve your seat before doors close tomorrow…

Stay positive,

Garrett Baldwin
