Monday, March 31, 2025 - The markets remain a mess with the path of least resistance still lower, and any bounce, even if we get a "turnaround Tuesday," is likely to be short-lived. We're below declining 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, with sellers stepping in at key levels just as expected. Stocks like Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla are behaving as they should in downtrends — rallying, breaking below the 5-day, then pulling back deeper, trapping late buyers. This is not the time to chase longs; the focus should be on low-risk, high-probability setups, which are few in this environment. MAGS, Dell, and McDonald's all rejected key VWAP levels or support, confirming ongoing weakness. Avoid calling double bottoms before confirmation, and don’t listen to amateurs misusing technicals. Biotechs remain broken, and even relative strength names like ZS, LUV, and GTX should only be watched — not bought — until price confirms. CELH, UPWK, EAT, and QCOM are solid short-sale candidates if they rally and fail. Stick to your process, trade smaller size, manage risk, and wait for confirmation before acting — and don’t forget, Brian is live at 8 p.m. ET for the StockTwits session — one ticker per person, no charts, no opinions, just the symbol.
