Great trades never ring a bell. They don’t come with fanfare. They come wrapped in uncertainty, quiet conviction, and a little discomfort. That’s how you know they matter.
Take Cocoa futures. One of the cleanest breakouts we’ve seen recently, but it didn’t feel clean until after it moved.
Before that, it was all noise and indecision.
Here’s the setup we outlined in October 👇
We were betting that the breakdown to new lows wasn’t going to stick.
Why? The 14-day RSI was firmly in a bullish momentum regime.
That’s a characteristic of an uptrend… Not a downtrend!
Moreover, this was a textbook consolidation after a historic 190% bull run which unfolded over 4 months.
Here’s how the setup unfolded 👇
The price ripped back above support and hit our target at the upper bound of the range in just a few weeks.
It was an epic bear trap…
Admittedly, this worked much better than we expected.
We made a sweet 100% return in weeks (plus the leverage we used in the futures market)
Orla Mining $ORLA was even quieter. A forgotten Canadian name. Just another gold miner… until it wasn’t.
The base was massive. The breakout was loud. The follow-through didn’t blink.
Here’s the setup we outlined in December 👇
We were simply betting on this textbook accumulation pattern in Orla Mining turning into a massive launchpad for the stock.
We love to quote the great Louise Yamada (the “Grandmother of technical analysis”)
“The bigger the base, the higher in space.”
That’s exactly what happened here…
Here’s how the setup unfolded 👇
The bulls decisively resolved the base and drove prices to new all-time highs.
Since the time we bought Orla Mining, Gold futures have rallied 30%.
Because we picked the right vehicle to express our bullish thesis on the shiny yellow metal, we made an additional 80%.
These setups didn’t explode because of a news story. They moved because price told the story first, and we listened.
That’s the goal of ASC Gold Rush. To filter out all of the noise and tell you about the signals that actually matter for your portfolio.
Most investors wait for clarity. But the biggest gains come before things feel certain.
That’s where the edge lives. That’s where we live.
