🧠https://www.crowdedmarketreport.com Learn more about Jason and the CMR Community ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In today’s market update, Jason discusses how easy it is for traders to get pulled into bearish thinking when markets continue to rally despite widespread skepticism. He explains how a seemingly weak market move one day quickly turned into a powerful advance the next, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at new all-time highs. Using this example, Jason highlights the importance of focusing on positioning, sentiment, and market action—in that order—to avoid getting trapped by false breakdowns and emotional reactions.
Jason also shares his thoughts on the rotation occurring beneath the surface of the market, where leadership may be beginning to expand beyond the popular AI-related names. He reviews recent action in precious metals, bonds, currencies, and crude oil, noting areas that may be showing early signs of change but have not yet provided clear trading opportunities. The discussion then shifts to Bitcoin and crypto markets, where Jason examines the psychology behind persistent bullish narratives and why traders should be careful not to let personal opinions override objective analysis. Finally, he looks ahead to Friday’s employment report and the upcoming COT data release, which could provide valuable insight into positioning across several key markets.
Watch now as Jason Shapiro provides powerful insights into his unique price action trading strategies and contrarian approach to reading trader positioning charts across the stock market, futures, and currencies. We’ll explore the exact methods Jason uses—as a successful trader and featured Market Wizard—to fade crowded positioning, navigate extreme volatility, and identify high-reward/low-risk opportunities by watching the tape. Learn how to ignore the "fake narratives" and focus on the news failures and positioning data that actually move the needle in today’s markets.
