The Other Side of the Chart

Most days, the market behaves. The chart is quiet. The room is familiar. Nothing feels out of place. Then the screen flickers. The same chart is there but darker, heavier, charged. Volume throbs like a signal. Price stretches in ways it shouldn’t. Nothing has happened yet. But somewhere, on the other side of the chart, the move is already alive.

Some traders wait for confirmation.

Others notice when reality starts to thin.
