Each week inside Precision Trading Labs, we break down the strongest supply and demand setups across the market based on our chart analysis and a review of the latest Barons issue.

In this week’s scan, we walk through five high-probability trade setups—including a bearish trade we’re already in, and several bullish/demand opportunities developing across energy, consumer staples, and AI-related stocks.

This post summarizes the key takeaways from the weekly video and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how we build trades using institutional price action.

1. Understanding the Maplebear (CART) Bearish Setup

We opened the week with a clean bearish setup on Maplebear, the parent company behind Instacart.

A few key points from the chart:

• Price formed a clear supply zone after buyers became exhausted.
  
  
• When price retraced back into that zone, multiple bearish expressions became valid:
  
  
• Shorting the stock
  
  
• Buying long puts
  
  
• Selling a bear call credit spread
  
  
• We structured the trade using a risk–reward ladder, mapping 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 targets.
  
  

This trade triggered quickly and has already begun following through to the downside.

2. How We Use Barons to Find Tradable Ideas

Every week, Mitch reviews the newest issue of Barons and scans the tickers mentioned in their articles.

A few important notes:

• We don’t trade based on their fundamental thesis.
  
  
• We use Barons purely as a list of symbols to evaluate through a supply and demand lens.
  
  
• If Barons is bullish but the chart shows a bearish supply zone, we’ll take the bearish setup every time.
  
  

This week’s issue highlighted multiple themes we explored—consumer staples, energy, utility companies linked to AI power demands, and high-yield financials.

3. Baker Hughes (BKR): A Demand Zone… But Not Yet

Baker Hughes presented a potential demand zone, but not a perfect one.

Here’s why we are waiting:

• While there is a drop–base–rally formation,
  
  
• The zone isn’t fresh due to prior trading activity.
  
  
• The lower Bollinger Band helps, but the location only qualifies as a B-setup.
  
  

Our stance:
We wait for price to reach the deeper, higher-quality demand zone below. If we get it, that’s where we initiate a bullish position.

4. Liberty Energy (LBRT): Bearish Setup Developing

LBRT offered one of the cleaner structures of the week.

What stood out:

• A rally–base–drop supply zone formed above current price.
  
  
• Even though the Barons article leaned bullish, the chart clearly favored a bearish play.
  
  
• If price pushes slightly higher into that zone, we’ll look to:
  
  
• Short the stock
  
  
• Buy puts
  
  
• Or sell a bear call credit spread above the level
  
  

This is a textbook example of ignoring the headline and trading the chart.

5. Vita Coco (COCO): News Spike Doesn’t Equal Strength

Vita Coco spiked on tariff relief news—but the structure revealed weakness.

Key observations:

• Price jumped on a one-off headline, not real buying pressure.
  
  
• The entire move faded throughout the day.
  
  
• The “zone” created by the gap is not a valid institutional demand zone.
  
  

Our expectation:
Price may break below the gap zone and head toward the next legitimate demand level—that’s where a bullish setup becomes valid.

6. BigBear.ai (BBAI): A Potential Long if Price Pulls Back

Barons floated the idea that BBAI could be “the next Palantir.”

From a technical standpoint:

• A clean drop–base–rally demand zone sits below current price.
  
  
• If price pulls back into that zone, the setup qualifies as a bullish opportunity.
  
  
• Note: Price is sitting at the 200-day SMA and the lower Bollinger Band, so we remain cautious on the pullback.
  
  

If price reaches the zone, we’ll look to buy shares (given the low share price, options are unnecessary).

Why These Setups Matter

Each setup in this week’s review highlights the core of what we do at Precision Trading Labs:

• Use supply & demand—not emotion.
  
  
• Wait for fresh, clean, high-quality zones.
  
  
• Identify exhaustion of buying or selling.
  
  
• Build trades with asymmetric risk–reward.
  
  
• Let price come to us—never chase.
  
  

These are the same principles our members use to spot trades that require less stress, less screen time, and lower risk.
