# Exploit This “Smart Money” Mistake Now Canonical: https://stocksurgedaily.com/exploit-this-smart-money-mistake-now/ Hey, Ross here: As expected, markets rebounded strongly yesterday after both China and Trump took on a more conciliatory stance. However, indexes still remain below last week’s highs… And as negotiations progress, we could see a lot more whipsawing in the markets. Plus, as today’s chart shows – the market is likely overdue for a pullback anyway. ## **Chart of the Day** ![](https://stocksurgedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-10-1024x649.png) This chart shows just how many days the S&P 500 has gone without experiencing a 5% pullback. Since the index only dropped by 3% on Friday and recovered about half its losses yesterday… We’re now at 97 days without a 5% pullback. As you can see, this is up there with some of the longest streaks over the past 15 years. In other words, we shouldn’t be surprised if we see a pullback… Which as I’ve said time and time again – are completely necessary parts of healthy bull markets. And here’s the thing about markets that are ripe for a pullback… _They’re basically just looking for any “excuse” to trigger the pullback._ In other words, any little piece of negative news could be a potential catalyst for a pullback to begin. Plus, as I told you a couple weeks ago, October is historically one of the most volatile months of the year… And that appears to be playing out. For many traders – especially those who expect the market to only move up in a straight line – this is horrible news. But for traders who understand how markets actually work – this is an opportunity… Especially if they understand the mistake the “smart money” made earlier this year. I explain more below. ## **Insight of the Day** **A lot of the “smart money” has been waiting for a pullback so they can catch up**. As I’ve said before, not all “smart money” is created equal. Many of them are actually _lagging_ the market for the year… Because they remained overly cautious even as the markets rebounded after April. They’re not going to make the same mistake again. I believe that every dip we see will be relentlessly bought by these “smart money” players. And that’s something we can take advantage of. That’s why **[later this morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…](https://secure.tradersagency.com/alpha/?tambid=31987&id=TA32165)** I’m going LIVE to show you a powerful strategy for playing this current uncertain market by targeting these “smart money” flows.
