Pre-open market comments for Friday 05/23/25
Last week, the market staged a major breakout through the SMA 100 and SMA 200 on the US-China trade deal. There was immediate follow-through on heavy volume, and that's bullish. This week, the market is testing the breakout. Early in the week, the market found resistance at the high from last week. The initial selling pressure was not very impressive, but that changed on Wednesday after the poor US bond auction. The dormant sellers over the last month were awakened, and they sold the market off hard—over 100 points on very heavy volume. In fact, Wednesday saw the heaviest volume in the market since 04/11/25 (the week after the massive post-Liberation Day drop, where we had extreme market volatility).
Yesterday was an LPTE inside day with a slight upward bias for the majority of the day. We initially saw some two-sided volatility at the beginning of the session, and that was a sign that both buyers and sellers were present. While the market was able to gradually float higher in a low quality manner for most of the back half of the day, those 2.5 hours of gains were vaporized in the last 30 minutes of trading on heavy volume selling. That tells me the selling pressure is still there short term, and that's consistent with the market testing the big breakout from last week. How the breakout is tested will be very important to watch.
As of 10:30 PM PST, Asian markets are up overnight, while S&P futures are as flat as a pancake.
For today (Friday), we are in pre-holiday trading mode with the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend (the market is closed on Monday). It's very, very common to see trading volume die down the day before and after a holiday. Although we have seen some volatility this week, I believe that the chances are high that today ends up being another LPTE session. Because of that, I feel that the best thing you can do is to assume LPTE conditions until—and unless—the price action and volume tell you otherwise.

hi! i've re-created RVol approach from 1OP into TV where the logic is to compare M5 bars NOT to previous (1:10 to 1:05 and 1:00 and so on) but same M5 bars for last X days (same 1:10 bar for each of last day). this gives clear understanding whether volume is relatively low or high.
cross-checked with 1OP - indicator is giving correct data

as the pros have been saying, this is LPTE. The SMAs are providing some support, but the bounce off of them is very low quality with lots of choppy mixed candles. I don't see any reason to be trading here. The volume is already starting to dry up a bit even with overnight announcements. Holidays really suck the life out of the market

I see you've taken a few trades today and they've gone well for you. That's good, I'd just recommend to not push it. These are not good trading conditions.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: We're very close to moving the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), we could see SLR move over the summer.
This is the admin trying to boost bonds - it loosens the capital requirements for banks meaning they can absorb more leverage - it also carries a huge risk where banks can quickly become over-leveraged. Very risky move.

VXX formed a higher low on that new market HOD. Like hari mentioned, this is tricky to trade. There's a very gradual upward bias with the SMAs providing support, but it's sure as hell difficult to be bullish here. This little drift higher does not inspire confidence for me to trade the long side esp considering the selling we've seen all week
H.S. Wren
5/23/2025, 04:07 PM
Be careful here. I see the play, but the market is not providing the kind of tailwind here to push this stock back to the HOD. The odds to me look pretty 50/50 and it's an extremely volatile stock with a lot of downside if it breaks back below VWAP.

even if we break VWAP here, we still have major support at the LOD with both SMAs. There could be a long red candle thru VWAP that triggers stops, but by the time you finally give in and short, the market could end up flying right back into your face. If you absolutely have to short in a market like this, you need to not do it at the LOD and need to wait for a failed bounce. At the same time, the market has a very gradual upward bias and very little organized movement with light volume.
What I'm trying to get at here is that any trade you take RN is being done in marginal LPTE market conditions. If it works, you'll feel like a genius. If it doesn't, you'll go "of course I shouldn't have taken it the market wasn't giving me anything". Practice restraint and only engage if/when the market actually gives you something.
"But what about when our thesis is that the market isn't going to move much and won't help/hinder our trades?". That is a situation where you can trade in (with smaller size, hit and run approach), but I don't feel like that applies here. We are on major support here and VXX is staying elevated even with the market chopping higher.
"But what about Hari? How come he is allowed to trade this?"... are you hari? Probably not is my guess

My analysis of why you took that trade was that it was a stock that was down big on the day and approaching the 50SMA therefore likely to not have the sentiment or market strength behind it to continue to push it beyond. The stock looked like it had strength on that uptrend, but ultimately if you look at the gap down as a huge red bar, you might see that as nothing more than a wimpy bounce.

Draw a TL on the M5 from 10:30. You'll see that it rejected perfectly 3 times. On the last one, you could have taken it there, even though it was above VWAP. You had a natural stop (the TL), and would have had a bit of cushion to actually make profits on it. A bit more of an advanced trade but I figured I'd point it out.

Question I have lately struggled with my stop loss. Is it better to use a hard stop or mental stops are better (I understand you need to be very disciplined) to do that. I also understand that the stoploss has a linkage with risk tolerance and account size etc.. Despite all this, will appreciate if I can get a feed back. Where would an ideal stop be from a day trade perspective.
View Answer
Question Would today be a strong indication that there's a strong dip buying bias in the market? Or, is this a mechanical bounce off the SMAs with low volume heading into a long weekend? View Answer
Question Do we not keep Option Stalker Pro custom (saved) scanners synced to Option Stalker Web? From what it looks like, it's not supported but if someone can confirm, that'd help.
Question If there is a large gap down, and a stock is down for the day, is it ok to go long on it if there are signs of rel strength and SPY is moving into the gap? I am sticking to the rule of not going long if stock is down for the day and the opposite for shorts, but I wonder if there are exceptions to this rule when there are large gaps on SPY

The system works
Market Analysis and Stock Picks
We record two free YouTube videos each week that start with a review of the prior “pick of the day” and evaluate the trade, then conduct market analysis using Option Stalker Pro to find a new “pick of the day”. Click below to view recent videos.
How To Get Started:
1
Learn The System
Our trading system is your path to clarity and the Start Here section of our website will quickly get you up to speed. Each resource is an important building block. When you have reviewed the materials you’ll understand what the system is, why it works and the tools we use to find opportunities. The effort you put into learning the system and the tools is critical. Don’t rush the process. Armed with knowledge, you’ll be ready to see the system in action.
2
Meet The Traders
It’s time to register for the Free Trial. The action will be fast and furious. You’ve studied the patterns so you’ll understand the basis for each trade posted in the chat room. You’ll have access to Option Stalker Pro. It has an incredibly powerful search engine and is the source of all of our trade ideas. The two-week trial will fly by so please make sure that you are prepared. We want you to maximize it.
3
Join Us
You are going to learn more than you can imagine in a very short period of time. The traders you meet during the free trial started right where you are now. You’ll see them enter and exit great trades with ease and they are living proof that this system can be learned and replicate. We’re confident you’ll want to join our team and we’ll help you find the product that suits your needs.
The best way to get started is to read through the entire website. We’ve included an incredible amount of educational content to teach our systematic approach. You’ll know what it is, why it works and how our tools help you exploit the edge that we trade. The Start Here section will lead you through the process step-by-step.
I have to answer this question with a question. Do you trust track records? We don’t because many of these so-called track records are “cherry-picked.” We offer many ways for you to check our performance.
- During your free trial ask members in the chat room if they are making money. We don’t mind if you do this and we won’t interfere when members respond.
- Watch the trades in the chat room during the free trial.
- Watch the YouTube videos. In each daily video we recap the trades highlighted in the prior video. Go back weeks or months and watch those videos. In fact, check the YouTube videos that were posted during the biggest market crash since the Great Depression
We don’t want to win you over with old trades. We want to show you how we are making money today. That’s why we offer a free two-week trial. Visit Start Here to learn how to begin.
You will find a detailed comparison of our products and features on the Pricing Page.
We suggest starting with a shorter term subscription because we do not offer refunds. If you like our trading technology after using it for a month or two, subscribe to a longer term and save money. The days you have left on the old subscription will be added to the new subscription.
Visit the product pages for Chat Room, Option Stalker, and Option Stalker Pro. They describe everything you need to know to get started using our tools. Additionally, please visit the Pricing Page for a side-by-side feature comparison. Option Stalker Pro is our flagship product and we suggest you read it’s dedicated page and manual carefully to understand it and the system we trade. Together, we highlight all of the features and describe the searches and when to use them and it explains the search variables offered in Custom Search.
In short, if you are an active trader you will want Option Stalker Pro.
Yes. We have an extensive library of articles located under The Edge in the top menu. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to explore our website in the Start Here page. Please begin with Our Trading Methodology. We suggest that you read as many of these articles as possible. Some of them are available to the public and some are only available to paid members. You will also find educational videos and our eBook. Annotated charts are posted to the chat room to highlight specific trading patterns. In short, everything OneOption touches has an element of education.
