š No Santa Rally This Year ā But Opportunity Never Takes a Holiday

Updated: Sun, 12/21/25
Good evening traders,
This year gave us an important reminder: the Santa Rally isnāt guaranteed. After enjoying strong year-end runs the past few years, the market is telling us that every good thing eventually comes to an end. Rather than chasing holiday hype, this is a time to stay disciplined, stay selective, and stay cautious as
we head into year-end and the new year.
That said, opportunity never disappearsāit simply rotates. While broad indexes struggle and expectations reset, individual stocks continue to emerge, especially in the small-cap and growth space. This is exactly why the CANSLIM approach continues to work. Strong fundamentals, real demand, and price breaking out of proper bases will always attract capitalāregardless of the
season.
Weāre living in a new America and a new market cycle, where innovation never slows down. New companies are hitting the scene all the time, and leadership constantly changes. Our job isnāt to predict ralliesāitās to identify strength early and manage risk intelligently, and thatās what MOJO will continue to do.
As we wrap up the year, I want to thank each of you for being part of the MOJO community. I
wish you and your families a happy holiday season, a restful end to the year, and a prosperous, opportunity-filled New Year. Weāll head into the next chapter focused, prepared, and readyābecause great stocks donāt care what month it is.Ā

Monday Morning Update: A fresh watchlist of this weekās top gainers and momentum leaders will go out Monday morning after we
see how the market opens. Iāll be highlighting the stocks showing real volume, clean setups, and the best potential for continuation so everyone can participate early. Stay tuned.
š HUBC ā Recall a Former MOJO Winner, Back on
Radar
MOJO traders will remember HUBC as a big winner for us in the past, and now itās back on the radar in a completely different phase of its cycle.
After a brutal reset and heavy selling pressure, HUBC is now trading near deep value levels with a tiny float and massive short interest, creating the potential for an explosive rebound if momentum
returns.
Current Snapshot
Price Zone: ~$0.05
Market Cap: ~$9.9M
Shares Outstanding: 3.05M
Float: 3.03M
Short Float:~50.7%
Short Interest: ~1.54M
shares
52-Week High: $14.00
This is the kind of setup where risk is clearly defined, but reward can be outsized if buyers step in and the 50% short interest goes parabolic.
With this much short interest packed into such a small float, it wonāt take much volume to spark a fast, emotional move. These are the exact conditions that have produced some of our largest historical runners.
ā ļø This is not a chase ā itās a watch-and-react setup. If volume confirms, this can
turn quickly & 50% short interest goes parabolic.
Former winners donāt disappear ā they hibernate, reset, and reappear when the conditions line up.
HUBC is officially back on the MOJO watchlist. Stay tuned.

š SQQQ Options Watch ā Correction Setup
Iām watching SQQQ call options with a $70 strike as a
potential play for another Nasdaq correction. If tech continues to weaken and volatility expands, SQQQ has room to push higher from here. This remains a wait-for-confirmation setup, but the risk/reward favors upside if the sell pressure accelerates.

š NEW: MOJO Crypto Picks & Market Watch
As we head into the new year, Iāll be adding a Crypto Picks section to the MOJO newsletter. The same discipline applies here as it does to stocks: key levels, momentum confirmation, and risk control. Crypto continues to offer strong opportunity as new projects emerge and capital
rotates.
Hereās what Iām watching right now:
š£ Ethereum (ETH)
Price: ~$2,970ā$2,980
Rank: #2
Market Cap: ~$360B
24h Volume: ~$10.5B
ETH is setting up nicely and looks ready to challenge the Heinz level at $3,000. A clean push through $3,000 opens the door for continuation. Trade plan:
Watch for break and hold above $3,000
Trail stops by ~50 points once through the
level
Overall structure looks strong and healthy
š“ TRON (TRX)
Price: ~$0.288
Rank: #8
TRX continues to act well and is approaching a key psychological level. Trade plan:
Looking for a move through $0.30+
Initial risk stop around $0.25 This is a steady mover with solid momentum and remains on my short list.
š¢ VELO (VELO)
Price: ~$0.0064
Market Cap: ~$113M
Rank: #200
VELO is a small-cap crypto sleeper. These are the types of names that can move fast when volume shows up. This one stays on watch
mode for momentum confirmation and volume expansion.
š§ Final Crypto Notes
Just like stocks, crypto rewards patience and discipline. Weāll focus on:
Key breakout levels
Momentum confirmation
Defined risk
Letting winners work
Iāll continue to expand this section as opportunities
develop and will only highlight setups that fit the MOJO framework.
More to come ā stay tuned.

Enjoy the holidays, stay safe, and Iāll see you on the other side of the New Year.
