This is why it's so important to honour your stops!
Stocks under distribution can stay weak longer than you think.

$HPE - 16 Week base close to ATH + outside day
Can we have some volume, please?
The previous base was 17 weeks and a lot shallow

A year ago, I quit my job to focus on trading and really immerse myself in the markets.
I needed a place to capture the research and ideas I was working on, so I started The StratLab.
I never imagined it would turn into what it has today.
We’re now at 975 subscribers, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read, subscribe, share an article or send me a note.
I’d love to get it to 1,000.
If you follow my work here but haven’t subscribed yet, you can join here:

Just 25 more.

Thank you @stratsniper
Anyone serious about the Strat needs to orders this from @amazon today. Trading structure and not emotion is a key lesson this book taught me. This book brings the Strat together in a great way for people wanting to learn and understand it. A must buy @StratLaboratory

$RBRK is a Broadening formation in play
Any one who went long before before earnings has to cover. Any one who shorted at the highs might soon have to! (especially when the rest of cyber is ripping)
Add to that, $RBRK is fundamentally changing as a company.
In @bipulsinha’s own words, Rubrik is no longer just a disaster recovery company. They are positioning themselves as the control plane for enterprise AI agents: observability, identity, runtime security and, importantly, the ability to selectively rewind an agent when it gets something wrong.
That’s a very different TAM and potentially a very different $RBRK.
Meanwhile, the underlying business continues to execute. Eight straight quarters of beats on both earnings and sales.

We’ve reached the other end of the broadening formation. Now’s the time to pay close attention and gather evidence. Is it expanding outside the broadening formation to the upside or we reversing to the downside?

Another beautiful example showcasing volume bars
Big shout-out to @thatsimpletrade for introducing me to volume candles.
I’ve spent enough time reading charts to spot price contraction pretty quickly: tightening ranges, weaker pullbacks and fading sellers.
Volume contraction, though? That’s where I kept missing the signals.
Volume candles have finally made it click for me.
I’ve included some examples: VCPs, cup-and-handles and high-tight flags.
The consolidation periods are obvious now, and so is the volume spike when price breaks out.
Makes it harder for me to ignore.
