The Simplest Trade For Holiday Season Profits

Hey Gang,

Since the election, my S.A.M. AI Scanner has been lighting up with opportunities.

And this week, I’m keeping it simple with a trade everyone knows – Amazon (AMZN)

I know it sounds odd that I would trade such a high profile stock.

But once I give you a sense of what I see in the market, you’ll understand why this stock is perfect for this environment.

Closing Out the Year

Markets now have a bit more certainty with the election and latest interest rate announcement behind us.

As I suspected, a lot of premium came out of the options market as the VIX crashed from +23 to less than 15.

While it’s still high, the VIX is back in a normal range.

Essentially, traders and investors aren’t buying as much protection as they were just a week or two ago.

And I don’t blame them.

Markets tend to run pretty hard after elections right up into the new year as earnings announcements die down and people go on vacation.

However, we’ve gotten to a spot where I would expect consolidation.

The ES futures hit $6,000, SPY touched $600, and the S&P 500 reached $6,000 – all for the first time. These big, round numbers tend to act like magnets, keeping price action nearby.

The daily chart of the S&P 500 appears to be topping out at that price, possibly making a rounded top (or at least the beginnings of a consolidation).

I could easily see the market pulling back from here to work off some of the recent momentum. But, markets have a history of bull runs.

To give you some perspective, here are the daily charts of the S&P 500 from the last two election cycles.

Interestingly, the market wasn’t making new highs as quickly as we have this time around. But in both cases, the S&P 500 pushed higher not only into the end of the year but into the start of the next.

And that’s why Amazon is a no-brainer for this market.

Keeping it Simple With Amazon

As the broader markets grind higher, Amazon isn’t just coming along for the ride – it’s leading the charge.

Keep in mind, we’re also about to enter the Christmas shopping season, where Black Friday and consumer spending benefits the online retailer.

Now, I know markets have jumped very quickly. That’s why I look for stocks with relative strength that consolidate near their highs.

I want to look at Amazon’s 130-minute chart to illustrate my point.

We’ve entered a period of consolidation near the all-time highs. However, the TPS setup hasn’t quite formed yet.

So far, we have only two of the three components: a noticeable up TREND and a consolidation PATTERN.

We have yet to see dots at the bottom turn red, indicating a SQUEEZE where the Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channel.

But so long as Amazon doesn’t crash out and just keeps holding near these all-time highs, there’s a good chance we’ll get a TPS setup before long.

Plus, we know short sellers will put their stops right at all-time highs. So, breaking above that will force them to cover their positions, creating a squeeze.

And here’s what makes Amazon such a perfect trade right now…

While most traders focus on complex setups, Amazon gives us a straightforward opportunity with multiple catalysts:

  • Post-election momentum
  • Holiday shopping season
  • Technical consolidation near highs
  • Potential short squeeze brewing

But timing is everything.

Getting the entry wrong on a high-priced stock like Amazon can be costly. That’s where having a proven system makes all the difference.
