Jesse LivermoreThe tape tells its own story. Seventy-nine names scanned, yet not one has the conviction to push through resistance. That is not a market begging for buyers; it is a market waiting for a reason. I see twenty-eight hovering near the line, but hovering is not acting right. The three failures are simply confirmation that patience, not anticipation, is the only edge today. I will not force a trade when the line of least resistance is sideways.
