You know that feeling when every space stock on your watchlist is up 20%, 40% or even 90% in a single day?
That’s where we were this week. The whole sector was moving so fast it felt like everything was screaming for attention.
At one point I caught myself feeling overwhelmed with all the tickers. I wanted to buy everything, but I know we’re likely to see a pullback, and now is not the time.
That pressure is exactly why having a process matters.
Momentus (MNTS) rocketed 109%. Firefly Aerospace (FLY) climbed 22%. Spire Global (SPIR) pushed higher too. It was pure euphoria on the screen.
But those weren’t entries. They were reminders that real opportunities appear before the surge, not after the crowd piles in.
When everything is moving, discipline matters even more.
The Difference Between Watching and Chasing
There were so many setups forming that I didn’t force any trades early in the session.
Watching without acting isn’t weakness. It’s a skill.
Some days the best trade is the one you don’t take because restraint keeps you aligned with your edge.
When emotions start building, one simple trick can help: take a micro position.
If you feel FOMO rising, buy a tiny amount just to quiet the emotional noise. That turns the impulse into something manageable while you wait for the proper technical setup before sizing up.
The real edge comes from positioning before momentum becomes obvious.
Take IonQ (IONQ) as an example. We caught the breakout last week, not after the move had already expanded.
Being early meant catching the actual momentum expansion instead of chasing the tail end of it.
That’s the kind of setup-first mentality that creates repeatable opportunities.
Where Resistance Really Lives
On a day filled with massive wicks, identifying clean levels becomes critical.
One question that comes up constantly is whether resistance should be plotted using wicks or candle bodies.
I lean toward the body.
A wick can be fleeting, but a body close shows real commitment. When buyers or sellers hold a level through the close, that price becomes far more meaningful on the chart.
That’s why I focus on body closes when mapping resistance and breakout zones.
Enter on the breakout, start small and let the trade prove itself.
That’s the rhythm that keeps you aligned with structure instead of chasing headlines or emotional momentum.
To better trading,
Alex Reid
