The market hit all-time highs today, and you’d expect to see the RAI pointing mostly to long setups. But interestingly, it nailed a fantastic short instead — on NNE.

This one’s what I like to call a “nuke stock.” They announced a financing, and that was the clear reason behind the sharp drop. Our RAI alert went off at $51.46, and before it even pulled back, the stock dropped all the way down to $48.38 — about a $3 move on a $51 stock. That’s a pretty impressive percentage move for a quick short play.

Now, it’s started to pull back a bit, so I’m watching closely to see if that bounce has any real strength. If it stalls out here, there could be another opportunity to take advantage of weakness. On the flip side, if buyers step in, it might set up a decent long opportunity later.

The key takeaway? Even when the market is charging higher, there’s always opportunity if you let the data guide you. The RAI doesn’t just chase momentum — it spots high-probability setups in any direction, and today’s NNE short was a perfect example of that.

Stay sharp out there and keep watching those alerts — sometimes the best trades show up right when you least expect them.
