Overextension Explained — The Framework That Stops You Chasing Markets | 3 June 2026

Chasing a moving market is one of the most expensive habits in trading — and it almost always comes from not recognising overextension early enough.

Tonight I cover current market conditions including a critical NFP Friday warning, then break down a practical framework for identifying when a market has already done its move. Using moving average distance, cycle comparison, and live chart examples across gold, AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, and the NASDAQ, I show you how to read overextension structurally rather than emotionally — and why patience, not discipline, is the real skill required.
