Momentum Squeeze

Two-phase equity momentum playbook — find coiled "Volatility Squeeze" stocks ready to break out, then buy confirmed multi-timeframe uptrends on pullback. Use when Michael asks to scan for squeezes, find pullback entries, evaluate a ticker against the momentum cycle, or decide where a stock sits in the coil → breakout → pullback → re-coil loop.

Momentum & Squeeze Strategy

Two complementary strategies that capture different phases of a stock's momentum cycle. A name typically rotates: Squeeze → breakout → Momentum pullback → trend exhaustion → re-coil → Squeeze again.

1. Volatility Squeeze ("The Snap") — pre-breakout

Find stocks quietly coiling, ready to explode.

Condition	Meaning
`SqueezeRatio < 1.0`	Daily ATR compressed vs weekly ATR
`SqueezeRatio < 0.7`	Extremely tight — maximum coil
EMA stack aligned	8 > 21 > 34 > 55 > 89 (bullish bias)
Not at 52wk high	Avoid flatlined M&A targets
Rel Volume ≥ 1.3x	Starting to wake up

SqueezeRatio = ATR(14) / (ATR_Weekly / 2)
  < 0.70  → 🔋 Tight squeeze (ready to snap)
  < 0.85  → ⚡ Moderate
  < 1.00  → 📊 Light compression
  > 1.00  → ❌ Expanded (not squeezed)

Entry signals: Volume Spark (1.5x+), Deep Coil (ADX < 15), Price at EMA.

Thesis: "Gone quiet. Daily volatility compressed against the weekly baseline. EMAs bullishly stacked. Volume picking up. Ready to snap."

2. Momentum with Pullback — mid-trend

Find confirmed uptrends that pulled back to a buyable entry. Requires triple timeframe EMA alignment (8 > 21 > 34 > 55 > 89 on Daily AND Weekly AND Monthly = confirmed mega-trend).

Pullback filter	Purpose
SMA50 > EMA200 (D/W/M)	Uptrend on all timeframes
Stochastic < 40	Oscillator oversold (the dip)
Within 1 ATR of EMA21	Not overextended
ADX 20–40	Trending but not exhausted

Thesis: "Powerful multi-timeframe uptrend, just pulled back to the 21 EMA, stochastic oversold. Perfect dip buy."

Comparison

Aspect	Squeeze	Momentum Pullback
Stage	Pre-breakout	Mid-trend
Volatility	Compressed	Normal/Expanded
Stochastic	Any	< 40
Risk / Reward	Higher / Higher	Lower / Moderate
Timeframe	Daily only	Daily + Weekly + Monthly

Weekly workflow

Weekend: run Volatility Squeeze → watchlist the coiled names.
Mon–Fri: monitor for breakouts (volume + close above resistance).
Mid-week: run Momentum with Pullback → dip entries in live trends.
Manage: stop below EMA21, trail as trend continues.
Trend exhausts → name returns to the Squeeze watchlist.
