Quadruple Witching may sound mysterious, but it’s a very real event that impacts the stock market four times a year — on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.

  • What Quadruple Witching is and why it happens

  • How it impacts market volatility, volume, and price action

  • Why swing traders often see false breakouts on these days

  • The best way to prepare and trade around Quadruple Witching

You’ll learn how to recognize when price action is driven by real market conviction versus derivative expirations and institutional repositioning. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with strategies to protect your swing trades and even find opportunities after the dust settles.

If you’ve ever been confused by sudden spikes in volume or “fake moves” on certain Fridays, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
