After a relatively quiet March, the first week of April lit a fire under the small cap market and we were ready. We ended the week with 9 trades, which is significantly more than what we’ve been seeing lately. Just to give you some context, last month we took 24 trades total and many of those setups were barely making it to our #2 target, if that. But this past week? Small caps came back swinging.
A Week Full of Wins
Out of the 9 trades we took this week:
- 8 hit our projected #1 target
- 5 hit our #2 target
- 4 reached our maximum #3 target and beyond
The highlight of the week was AREB, which exploded for a +169% move from our entry. Absolute monster. It was by far the most profitable trade we had in the chatroom.
After watching the small cap space slow down for most of March, this week felt like the shift we’ve been waiting for. More volume, more follow through, and more opportunity. That’s exactly what we want to see as traders who specialize in momentum and breakout setups.
Markets move in cycles. Some weeks, it feels like there’s nothing worth touching. Other weeks, it’s like we’re drinking out of a fire hose. The key is staying patient during the slower periods, so you’re mentally sharp and ready to execute when things heat up again, just like they did this week.
When the market gives us opportunity, we lean in.
After seeing 9 trades trigger in just five days, with nearly half of them reaching our second and third price targets, I’m cautiously optimistic that this momentum carries over into next week. If this pace continues, we could be entering one of those sweet spots in the market where opportunities just keep rolling in.
Stay sharp, stay selective, and stick to the process. The plays are coming to us, we just need to execute.
