How to trade breakouts confidently during all-time high markets

Dear Traders,

History was made again today.

The S&P 500 just printed another all-time high. Let that sink in. While most of the world is still debating whether this bull market is real, the market is quietly answering that question every single session. The fuel behind this move? AI productivity. The narrative is no longer theoretical, it is being priced in, and investors are betting big that the efficiency wave coming from AI adoption is going to reshape earnings across every sector. SPY is not grinding higher. It is breaking out. Cleanly. With conviction. This is what ultimate breakouts look like, and if you are sitting on the sidelines waiting for a pullback to “get in,” the market may not be kind enough to give you one.

What Happened Today and How We Traded It

Today was exactly the kind of session that separates traders who have the right tools from those who are flying blind. We had three major setups play out beautifully: TSLA, SMCI, and AMD. If you were in BBT live trading chatroom this morning, you know Market Atlas was behind every single one of these trade setups.

1) Tesla (TSLA): Opening Range Breakout

Tesla reported earnings yesterday. The result? A wild ride. The stock whipped up and down as traders digested the numbers, and coming into today’s open, TSLA was looking weak; down approximately 4% at the open, triggering panic in a lot of retail traders.

That panic was the opportunity.

Our traders were watching the order flow in Market Atlas carefully. Rather than reacting to the red on the screen, they waited. And right at the open, as TSLA found its low and buyers stepped in, the squeeze began. What looked like a stock falling apart turned into a clean range breakout from the lows all the way back up through VWAP and beyond.

TSLA 1-min chart: Open flush to $371, squeeze to $386. Entry arrow at the low. VWAP reclaim confirmed.
This is the kind of trade that you cannot take without confidence. And confidence comes from knowing what the order book looks like. Market Atlas showed our traders exactly where institutional money was positioned, and that is what gave them the conviction to buy when everyone else was selling.
Aiman (Peak Capital Trading’s Instructor) also took the same trade on TSLA, with the conviction that there’s a strong liquidity magnet at $384.

2. Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Gap and Breakout

SMCI came into today gapping significantly. For most traders, a gap like this creates hesitation: Is it going to fill? Is it extended? Do I chase?

Market Atlas eliminated that hesitation entirely.

On the right side of the screen, Atlas was showing massive Ask orders stacked at key levels: over 100,000 contracts sitting at $26.90, and again above $27.00. These are not retail orders. This is institutional size. When you see that kind of footprint in the order book, the trade becomes clear: the big money is defending these levels, and if price can hold above VWAP, you go long and let the institutions do the heavy lifting.

SMCI at 09:31: Market Atlas showing 101,934 Ask at $26.90. Price above VWAP at $26.52.
That is exactly what happened. Price broke through $27, continued to $27.10, and our traders rode the entire move with a defined risk and a clear target — all because the order flow told the story before the candles did.
SMCI 1-min at 09:35: Yellow arrow on Atlas confirming 100,788 Ask absorbed at $27.10. Price is accelerating.
3. AMD: All-Time High Breakout

 

AMD joined the party in a major way today. The stock pushed through and broke its all-time high once again, and our traders were positioned ahead of the move. With Market Atlas showing the order structure at that breakout zone, our traders took the trade with confidence and it delivered exactly as the setup suggested.

 

If you needed any more proof that AI-driven names are in a league of their own right now, AMD just provided it.

The Tool That Made Every One of These Trades Possible

None of these trades were random. None of them were guesses. Every single one TSLA, SMCI, AMD was taken with a clear view of what was happening beneath the surface of the market, in real time, at the exact moment it mattered.

 

That view comes from Market Atlas by Trading Terminal.

 

This tool was not built for hedge funds. It was not built for institutions. It was built specifically for our traders, by people who trade and understand exactly what a scalper needs to see at 9:31 in the morning when the market opens and everything is moving fast. Market Atlas shows you where the big orders are sitting. It shows you institutional footprints before price confirms them. It gives you the kind of confidence that turns hesitation into action.

 

If you are a scalping trader, if you trade the open, if you trade momentum, if you trade breakouts… you cannot afford to be without this tool. The traders in our room who have it are not wondering whether to take a trade. They are executing. The traders who do not have it are watching setups develop and wondering what they missed.

 

Do not be in that second group any longer. You can also watch my latest YouTube live trade recap to learn exactly how we use Market Atlas in real-time markets.

⚠️ Peak Capital Trading Bootcamp Fewer Than 5 Spots Remaining

This is not a soft deadline. We have fewer than five spots left in our upcoming Peak Capital Trading Bootcamp, and once they are gone, they are gone.

If you have been on the fence, now is the time to make a decision. The Bootcamp is where real transformation happens structure, discipline, live trading, mentorship, and a community of traders who are serious about results.

And here is something special we want to share: our mentor Jarad is going to be running a free Market Dynamics session exclusively for our traders as part of this cohort. This is not something we offer publicly. Understanding market dynamics and how price moves, why it moves, where institutions are stepping in, all of these build the foundation that will change the way you see every chart for the rest of your trading career. Jarad’s sessions are exceptional, and this one is yours free as part of the Bootcamp.

Fewer than 5 spots. Do not wait.
To your success,
Andrew
