I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing, and “filling” Thanksgiving!

Now that the turkey coma is officially behind us, it’s time to focus back on the stock market, which has been... interesting, to say the least.

If you stepped away last week, you may have missed the S&P 500 ($SPX) shaking off that sharp November 20th sell-off. Not only did it make back those losses, but it also looks determined to attempt its next leg higher.

But here’s the real takeaway: volatility can show up fast, especially in an overextended market. Quick sell-offs, sharp reversals, and sudden narrative shifts are part of the playbook. Investors who navigate them successfully all have one thing in common — a disciplined, technical analysis process.

Why a Rules-Based Strategy Matters

If you have a well-thought-out strategy that’s grounded in objective analysis rather than headlines or other people’s opinions, then congratulations: you’re already approaching the market like a professional. The pros don’t guess, don’t hope, and don’t trade based on vibes. They rely on charts, technical evidence, and a repeatable framework.

That’s why our Articles & Videos page exists. Most of our contributors, many of whom are Chartered Market Technicians (CMTs), teach based on classical technical analysis. They break down the market’s price action using tools and principles that have stood the test of time.

Tools + Discipline = Confidence

A structured strategy doesn’t have to be complicated. What’s difficult is having the discipline to stick to it and the ability to tweak it as market conditions evolve. 

That’s where having the right tools becomes essential. And a StockCharts membership gives you access to:

• Professional-grade technical indicators
• Essential overlays like moving averages, pivot points, and price channels
• Market indicators that reveal market breadth and sentiment
• Custom scans to find actionable setups
• Real-time alerts so you’re always in the know

These tools help you move past the noise and focus on what the market is doing, not what people say it should be doing.
