MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) Update

We had a buy for MGM at $31.29. Over the next few days, it hit our TP 1 at $32.60 for a 4.15% gain (Before leverage).

Very nice set up, didn’t have to wait very long.

Recommendation: One to Buy, One to Short - Adobe & AES in Play

Today’s watchlist brings us two setups moving in completely different directions.

One gearing up for a bounce, the other losing steam fast.

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE)

Adobe’s been consolidating quietly, and now it’s starting to show signs of waking up. 

I went in for a buy position at $387.10. 

The price is holding well above key support, and buyers are beginning to step back in. 

If it catches momentum, we could see a clean push toward our targets.

🎯 Targets:

Buy: $387.10
TP1: $402.36  
TP2: $416.14  

AES Corporation (NYSE: AES)

AES has been sliding with no signs of slowing. 

The stock is struggling to hold above support, and the trend clearly favors the downside. 

We're jumping in to ride the wave lower while the setup is still fresh with a sell at $13.02.

🎯 Targets:

Sell: $13.02
TP1: $12.51  
TP2: $12.03  

Two opposite plays, both driven by clear technical signals. 

Let’s see how they shape up in the coming days.

Inverse Head and Shoulders

An Inverse Head and Shoulders is a bullish reversal chart pattern that signals a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. 

It’s the opposite of the regular Head and Shoulders pattern and is characterized by three troughs, with the middle one (the "head") being the lowest.

What to Look For:

• Three Troughs: The pattern consists of a lower central trough (head) flanked by two higher troughs (shoulders).
  
  
• Neckline Resistance: A horizontal or slightly sloping line connecting the highs between the troughs.
  
  
• Breakout Confirmation: The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks above the neckline, signaling a bullish reversal.
  
  
• Increased Volume: Ideally, there should be a rise in volume as the price breaks out above the neckline.
  
  
• Previous Downtrend: The pattern is most reliable when it forms after a sustained downtrend, signaling a potential trend reversal.

Drop the Ego, Pick Up the Lessons

Let’s be real. Your stress should be about your growth, your career, your next level. 

Not about what someone else is doing. If you see a trader crushing it while you’re still figuring things out, don’t get bitter, get better.

Too many people waste energy side-eyeing success instead of studying it.

If someone has the results you want, swallow the pride and LEARN.

Watch what they do.

Reverse-engineer their moves.

Ask questions if you can.

If not, observe from a distance and take notes.

Jealousy is outdated. It doesn’t pay bills, it doesn’t grow accounts, and it definitely won’t make you a better trader.

Adapt. Improve. Apply.

That’s the only way to level up.

Think about it. Every great trader once learned from someone else.

The market doesn’t care about your feelings.

It rewards those who put in the work.

So instead of resenting someone’s success, study their blueprint and build your own.

It’s 2025. Envy is out. Growth is in.

Stay focused, stay hungry, and go chase those results.

Your future self will thank you.
