Hey, Another wild weekend of market-moving news. After 60 years at the helm, Warren Buffett finally announced he's stepping down from Berkshire at year's end. The man who transformed a failing textile business into a $1.16 trillion empire with $300+ billion in cash is finally hanging up his hat at 94. Meanwhile, the Fed meets Wednesday with rates expected to hold steady, though July cuts look increasingly likely as markets digest Trump's tariff impacts. ![]() But here's what's got me thinking... While everyone's glued to these headlines, trading has always been about something much simpler: Timing. I was reminded of this last week when I was reviewing some old charts. I noticed something I've been tracking for years - a simple pattern that appears right before major breakouts. It's literally just an "X" on the chart. ![]() I know that sounds too basic to be useful. That's exactly what I thought when I first spotted it. But then I backtested it through five years of market data - through COVID, the 2022 bear market, and everything in between. The results? An 87% win rate with average returns of 48% in just six trading days. What fascinated me most wasn't just the win rate - it was how this pattern worked in completely opposite market conditions. When COVID was crushing the markets, this "X" pattern identified a 160% gain on Apple, a 22% winner on PepsiCo, and a 43% return on Planet Fitness. ![]() Then, during the brutal 2022 bear market when SPY dropped 25%, this same pattern found a 20% gain on Procter & Gamble, a 54% gain on Block Inc., and a 45% return on Walmart. During my research, I spotted this pattern on Lemonade Inc. after a major sell-off. The stock had been fizzling for days, but as soon as the "X" appeared, it soared - delivering a 70% return in just 7 days. What makes this pattern so powerful isn't fancy code. It's that it captures something fundamental about market timing that most retail traders completely miss. While everyone else is watching Powell's body language or debating Buffett's successor, this pattern quietly identifies exactly when institutional money is ready to pour in - BEFORE the breakout happens. I've recorded a detailed breakdown showing exactly how this pattern works, why it's so effective, and the specific stocks it's identifying right now. While I cannot promise future returns or against losses… See the complete breakdown here and judge it for yourself. To Better Trading, Alex Reid The Wealthpin Team Disclaimer: From March 2020 to March 2025, the study showed an 87% win rate with an average return, including winners and losers, of 48% and an average hold time of six trading days. Past performance does not guarantee future results, there is always risk in trading. |
