November 28, 2025 Live Trading Room Market Recap & Trades - (Samantha and AI Briefing notes - Friday's with Thursday's)
5% in 5 Days AND 5 Bar Rule Triggered
My “Five-Bar Rule” triggered today - meaning five daily green closes for SPX. Market was helped by thin liquidity and ~$6B in equity buying by pensions into month-end. Also, corporate buybacks and dealer gamma flip back above 6700 which is now 6729. But the real tell was VIX breaking back inside 25.20 last Fri Nov 21st as suggested: falling -43% for VIX as VVIX fell -33%.
That’s a bounce in SPX = to +5% (from its low last Friday which also happened to be the 100D EMA) in 5 days. I got the direction right but not the intensity. We closed 100pts above where I expected.
Heading into December…
