Hey, Ross here:
Stocks sold off big time on Friday – marking it as the worst trading day in 2025 so far.
The size of the selloff was significant, there’s no denying that.
But the pattern we’re seeing?
As the chart below shows, it’s par for the course for 2025.
Chart of the Day
This chart shows the average daily returns (on an annualized basis) for the S&P 500 in 2025 so far.
Essentially, if the S&P 500 moved everyday like the average 2025 Wednesday for a year – it would be up 90%.
But if it moved like the average 2025 Friday – it would be down 86%.
Anyway, don’t focus too much on the annualized numbers.
The key takeaway here – it’s just part of the weekly pattern so far.
I explain why this pattern is emerging below.
Insight of the Day
Traders are expecting “bad news weekends” and thus selling off on Fridays.
I believe that’s the biggest reason we’re seeing the Friday selloffs right now.
Traders have been conditioned to expect news that causes markets to dip to come out over the weekends…
So they sell off on Friday to avoid that.
But here’s the thing…
Once this pattern begins, other traders will join in this Friday selloff…
Meaning we could see it continue – for a little while at least – even if no more bad news comes out in the following weekends.
That’s part of why trading patterns are so powerful…
They have the potential to create self-fulfilling prophecies – to generate and sustain their own momentum.
That’s why every skilled trader out there uses chart patterns…
And that’s why tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to reveal a simple pattern that has historically led to some of the BIGGEST, fastest stock wins ever seen.
Last June, we saw this pattern forming in GeneDX Holdings (SGS).
There was no major news… no announcements from the company or even a big earnings beat.
And yet, WGS surged as high as 413% in just 8 months.
Another stock this pattern identified just last month is now sitting on a 126% gain in just 4 weeks…
All while markets have stagnated.
That’s the power of this pattern.
It’s been used for so long – by so many skilled traders – that it’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It’s one of the most powerful patterns any trader – regardless of skill level – can have in their arsenal…
And tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. ET, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to use it for yourself.
So just click here to save your seat for my step-by-step walkthrough tomorrow…
And I’ll see you at 1 p.m.ET Tuesday.
