The tape tells me what it wants, not what I wish. Forty-three names are already dead money, and three more broke their promise today—BKNG, ECPG, EL all failed to hold the line. That is the market’s verdict, and I accept it without argument. Twenty-eight are knocking, but knocking is not a breakout; I need proof of demand, not a prayer. I will sit on my hands until a stock shows me it can move through resistance on heavy volume, then I will test it with a small probe. Patience is not hesitation—it is the cost of staying alive for the real move.
