Going live in 4 hours: When to actually buy this dip

February 09, 2026   |   Read Online [First Name], In four hours, I'm going live to answer the question everyone's asking: When is it actually safe to buy? My volatility framework has a clear signal. And right now, we're not there yet… despite the market's big leap on Friday.  Here's what I'm seeing: Over 100,000 puts hit XLP this week. That's the staples ETF. The defensive trade. Smart money is hedging "safe" stocks hard. Why? Because when sector rotation breaks down, everything falls together. And when that happens, the VIX explodes. This isn't capitulation. It's rotation. And the real opportunity comes after the washout, not during it. Today at 2PM ET, I'm showing you: The exact signal I'm waiting for before deploying cash Why my volatility framework says the bottom isn't in yet What correlation indicators are telling us about what's next Squeeze setups in TDOC and CLOV that nobody's watching How to spot gamma levels where market makers have to buy Last chance to register: Click here to save your seat for 2PM ET today. I also found 57,000 contracts between TDOC and CLOV. These are Squeeze Trap setups forming while everyone's distracted by the selling. I'll break down how to identify these before they move.
