A rocket or jet breaking through a ceiling of clouds into clear blue sky, symbolizing a market breakout after a period of consolidation. The image should have a dramatic upward trajectory with dynamic motion blur and vibrant colors — deep blues giving way to bright sunlight above the cloud layer. This instantly communicates the concept of a powerful upward breakout following a period of sideways "breather" movement in the markets.

Hey friend,

We got the major job openings numbers this morning

The headline figure came in at 7.4 million – in line with expectations but below last month’s figure of 7.6 million.

However, hiring also increased and layoffs remained subdued.

Let’s see how the market has been moving.

The Daily Direction

Note: All indexes closed higher yesterday and moved sharply higher today as well – largely on news that another Iran deal may be reached. All index directions are back in the green.

The Daily Nugget

Breathers can set up breakouts.

For the past couple of months, most indexes have been on a “breather”.

Considering how much worries about an AI bubble are floating around…

Not to mention the “on again off again” conflict in Iran…

It’s not surprising that many were waiting for this breather to turn into a breakdown.

But all along, Head Trader Ross Givens was saying that the data was telling him the bull market was alive and well.

And now, with indexes just rocketing to new highs – it looks like he’s been vindicated once again.

Because you see, this is a classic pattern…

As a whole, breathers tend to be setups for breakouts more often than not.

Because stock markets tend to go up in the long term over time.

Of course, this doesn’t mean every stock will do well.

We still have to be selective.

Nevertheless, a rising tide tends to lift most boats.

Meaning now is the time to put your foot on the gas.

That’s what Ross is doing.

And here are some stocks he’s buying now.
