This morning, the message was loud and clear.

The SPY was down roughly six points, attempting a minor bounce, but overall showing clear signs of weakness. For me, that puts the focus squarely in short-sell mode. And once again, our Trade Ideas AI delivered exactly the kind of opportunities you want to see in this environment.

FLNC: A Textbook AI Short

One of the cleanest examples today was FLNC. The AI flagged this as a short opportunity very close to the open — around 9:41 AM, with an entry near $24.12.

From there, the trade unfolded beautifully.

The key was respecting the orange wave — a visual cue that the trend is weakening. When you see that persistent, downward wave, the goal is simple:
follow the weakness, don’t fight it.

FLNC continued to work lower throughout the session and remained in play well after the initial alert.

More AI Shorts That Delivered

FLNC wasn’t an isolated case. The AI consistently identified weakness across multiple names:

• NPT – Volatile, but ultimately down 22% from the alert
• Estée Lauder (EL) – Down roughly 7%
• SIRI – Another solid short opportunity aligning with market weakness

These are exactly the kinds of trades you want when the market is offering downside momentum. No guessing. No forcing longs in a weak tape. Just letting probability and trend do the heavy lifting.

The Takeaway

When the market is weak, embrace it. The Trade Ideas AI doesn’t care about opinions — it reacts to real-time data, trend strength, and statistical edge.

Follow the wave.
Respect the weakness.
And let the AI point you toward the highest-quality setups.
