Spotify Sinks 10%!

Markets aren’t waiting and neither should you.

Tesla just dropped $16.5B in Samsung’s lap to power its next-gen AI chip game, and the bulls are buzzing however chip delays and TSMC headwinds are still weighing on the chart.

Is this the start of a real breakout, or just another flashy fakeout?

And if you’re watching closely, you’ll see smart money is already positioning.

Time to dive in.

Heikin-Ashi

Heikin-Ashi are special candlesticks that smooth out price movements to make trends and reversals much easier to see.

They look like regular candles but are calculated differently.

What to Look For:

• Smoother Chart: They remove the "choppiness" from price, giving you a cleaner view.
  
  
• Clear Trends:
  • Strong Uptrend: Lots of green candles with no lower "tails."
  • Strong Downtrend: Lots of red candles with no upper "tails."
    
    
• Trend Changes:
  • Small bodies or candles with "tails" on both sides (like a cross) mean the trend is slowing down or might reverse.
    
    
• Benefit: Easier to spot when a trend starts, continues, or ends.
  
  
• Important: They don't show the exact real price for the current period, as they use averaged prices. So, use them for trend vision, not for exact price levels.

Deal with That FOMO

Yeah, the timeline lit up.

Everyone and their grandma caught that breakout… except you.

And now you’re staring at your screen thinking, “Did I mess up?”

Pause.

Just because you didn’t hit that move doesn’t mean you’re off your game.

Maybe it didn’t look clean on your chart. Maybe it didn’t fit your setup.

That’s not fear -  that’s respect for your process.

Every trader sees the market a little different.

What looks like a perfect entry to them might’ve screamed “fakeout” to you.

And guess what? That’s okay.

Your edge isn’t in catching everything.

It’s in catching what makes sense to you.

This game isn’t about proving anything to Twitter or Discord.

It’s about staying locked into your own read — not chasing someone else’s.

So the next time you feel FOMO creeping in, remind yourself:

You’re not here to trade everything.

You’re here to trade your thing — and trade it well.

Let them brag.

You build.

That’s how you win long-term.
