Anne-Marie Baiynd, technical analyst and author, joins Chris Vecchio and Jermal Chandler with something most options traders never look at: seasonality. Her analysis of the last 100 years of data flags a recurring soft spot in the first half of October, roughly the 2nd to the 12th, a pullback that tends to resolve higher once corporate buyback windows reopen around the 15th and lift the market from underneath. With a thin volume profile on the index futures right now, she reads pullbacks as buy zones, but expects some wobble into the end of the week and expiration before the updraft kicks in. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 Introducing Anne-Marie Baiynd 00:51 The one thing traders ignore, seasonality 01:15 The October 15th buyback lift 01:45 100 years of data on the October dip 02:30 A thin volume profile, pullbacks are buy zones 03:34 The Meta fade she likes 04:48 Breadth at lows and crude at 90 05:40 Bonds, and buying the 5-year directly 06:30 The Dow, the dollar, and the flip to come 07:30 Buy the dip, sell the rip 08:52 The two candles she watches every day #tastylive #annemariebaiynd #seasonality #technicalanalysis #buybacks #buythedip #volumeprofile #metafade #optionstrading #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
