Listen "ITPM Flash Ep86 A Slippery Slope"
Episode Synopsis
ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Ben Berggreen breaks down a high-conviction short opportunity in the energy space, triggered by a sudden shift in ISM sector data and weakening fundamentals in major oilfield service companies. Focusing on Schlumberger, he outlines a bearish calendar put spread targeting downside into earnings, with a 3:1 reward-to-risk profile. Ben also explores a broader macro angle, noting softening crude oil positioning among large speculators and offering an alternative, simpler XLE put play to capture a September–October market pullback. Both setups aim to combine macro, fundamental, and technical alignment for maximum edge. ITPM Flash Episode 86 A Slippery Slope with Ben Berggreen || Filmed 11-Aug-2025, Uploaded 14-Aug-2025 ||
