$OPEN: Is The Bottom Forming Or Is Another Drop Coming?
Technical Breakdown & Key Levels $Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ is sitting at a crucial crossroads. After pulling back from its summer highs around $4.60–$5.30 down to current levels, shares are hovering right near 52-week support. The $3.00 Floor: Buyers have consistently stepped in near $3.01–$3.08 to defend the round psychological number. If this level holds and forms a double-bottom base, a sharp mean-reversion rally toward resistance at $3.80–$4.20 becomes realistic. Momentum Indicators: Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sitting near oversold territory (32), signaling that aggressive selling may be nearing temporary exhaustion. Breakdown Risk: A clean break down below $3.00 opens up air pockets downward, with limited historical support
Technical Breakdown: Compression & Expansion $Plug Power(PLUG)$ has consolidated within a defined channel between $1.89 and $2.38. While the price has stabilized around the $2.10–$2.20 zone, price action alone remains inside a compression structure. To validate an actual directional trend shift rather than a temporary spike, institutional volume must confirm the move. Immediate Resistance ($2.35 – $2.40): The primary horizontal barrier capping recent upside attempts. A daily close above $2.40 accompanied by expanding volume marks the breakout trigger. Bullish Target ($2.75): The major overhead liquidity zone and prior breakdown pivot from mid-year. Support Floor ($1.89 – $1.95): The structural floor holding the current base together. A loss of
📱🚀 Can Apple Rise to $350? The Foldable iPhone Could Be the Catalyst TigerTrade
📱🚀 Can Apple Rise to $350? The Foldable iPhone Could Be the Catalyst 📈 Apple at $350: The big question for investors — I believe Apple’s first foldable iPhone could become an important catalyst for the share price, but I would not assume that the launch automatically sends Apple to $350. Apple was recently trading around the low-$300s, and $350 is therefore a realistic but still meaningful next step. Importantly, analysts are already looking beyond the launch itself. Morgan Stanley has a $360 price target, while HSBC has a $366 target, showing that Wall Street sees potential for Apple to move beyond $350 if the new product is successful. 📱 The foldable iPhone is a major product change — The reason this launch matters is that Apple is entering a completely different smartphone category.

Finally, someone spoken up about the absurdity of an orbital data centre, without tackling all the pressing issues. Naturally, it wasn't Musk, as he only speaks up when it benefits him. Musk’s Orbital Data Center Statements Below is the sequence of events where the snake oil salesman has spoken about it (In ascending date order) 31 Oct 2025 : Musk first publicly floated placing data centers in orbit in an X reply to an article discussing autonomous in-space construction. November 2025 : On “X”, Musk expanded on the concept, claiming orbital compute would become more economically viable than ground infrastructure within 3 to 5 years due to "unlimited solar power" and in-space radiative cooling. December 2025 : Following news leaks regarding a planned SpaceX listing, Musk confirmed pre-IPO d
$NVDA: First Trading Day After The Holiday. Where Does Price Go Next?
Technical Breakdown & Trade Plan $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ enters Tuesday's post-Labor Day session holding solid upward momentum. After establishing a firm bottom around $208–$213, buyers pushed price through key resistance at $225, closing Friday at $230.36 and pushing higher in early pre-market action. Key Scenarios for Tuesday's Session: Bullish Expansion (Primary Setup): Holding above $230.00 through the opening hour confirms buyer control. A clean push on elevated volume opens a clear run toward the $234.75–$236.50 resistance zone (52-week high). Healthy Retest: If early profit-taking hits, look for buyers to defend the $228.00–$228.45 level as new support before making another attempt higher. Bearish Invalidation: A break below $224.00 invalidates
The reopening trade after the Labor Day holiday kicked off with a sharp morning drop, pulling $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ down to test $767.23. Options pricing implied a daily 1-standard-deviation move of $3.31 ($766.20 to $772.82). The initial move hit the lower range of that expected volatility band within the first 30 minutes of trading Key Technical Levels Resistance 2 (Gap Fill Target): $772.80 (Upper expected move boundary and Friday session high) Resistance 1 (Pivot / VWAP Zone): $770.20–$771.50 (DeMark Pivot High and previous close) Key Support Floor: $766.20–$767.00 (Session low & initial expected move lower band) Support 2 (Liquidity Pocket): $763.50 (Late-August swing low target) Execution Scenarios Scenario A: Bearish Trend Co
[Wednesday This or That] Chase the Winner or Buy the Dip?
One of the biggest debates in investing is whether to chase a winner, even when it already looks pricey, or buy a loser in the hope that the selloff has gone too far. Even Warren Buffett’s style evolved over time. Early in his career, he was heavily influenced by Benjamin Graham’s “cigar-butt” approach — buying deeply discounted stocks and looking for one last puff of value. Later, Buffett shifted toward buying great businesses at reasonable prices, rather than simply buying whatever looked cheapest. So today’s question is: If you could only choose one, which would you pick — A or B? 🅰️ Chase the Winner 📈The stock may look expensive, but strong companies can keep getting stronger. 🅱️ Buy the Dip 📉The stock has already fallen hard, and the lower price could mean more upside if sentiment tur
Selling Puts Remains My Preferred Strategy:Will Tokyo Set the Market’s Direction This Week?
The market’s greatest challenge this week is that several seemingly independent trading themes are beginning to interact with one another: the yen has reached a six-month high; expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike are building; global bond yields are broadly rising; signs are emerging of a rebound in China’s crude-oil demand; and expectations for Federal Reserve policy have once again been unsettled by comments from Donald Trump. When these variables move simultaneously, markets rarely deliver a clean, smooth one-way trend. Instead, they are more likely to enter a high-volatility, range-bound phase marked by repeated swings in both directions. The key variable to watch now is whether the yen can make a further near-term directional break. This matters not only for the U.S. dollar inde
Coffee Chats by Trade to Win — Event Highlights | 7 Sep
A. Market Outlook Sharing by James James highlighted several new market developments, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s view that heavy AI capex could begin translating into stronger productivity and disinflationary benefits within the next six months. He also noted that S&P 500 short interest has recently risen above 3% of market cap, leaving room for some short covering. US strategic-sector investments James also discussed the Trump administration’s growing use of direct investments in strategic industries, from rare earths and semiconductors to quantum computing and frontier AI. The latest example is the Venezuela oil deal involving North American Blue Energy Partners, reinforcing the broader push to secure exposure to strategically important assets and supply chains. Why
🚨 THE AI ARMS RACE IS TURNING CUSTOMERS INTO SHAREHOLDERS
For most of corporate history, the relationship between a customer and a supplier was relatively simple. One company made something. Another company bought it. Money went one way. Products went the other. Artificial intelligence may be changing that relationship. Because some of the largest technology companies on Earth are no longer simply buying AI infrastructure. They are increasingly taking economic stakes in the companies building it. Amazon has just entered a multi-generation AI infrastructure partnership with Qualcomm. The headline number is enormous. Amazon could purchase up to US$60 billion of Qualcomm AI data-centre chips and related products under the agreement. But the part that interests me more is buried underneath. Qualcomm has also granted Amazon warrants worth approximatel

HOOD Shares Pull Back After a Blistering Rally With a Reversal Signal Flash
$Robinhood(HOOD)$ ⚡ Key Takeaway Today's pullback lands at a genuinely pivotal moment for this position. The probability of a near-term shift into a Bearish zone has climbed past the halfway mark, and the forward-looking 10-day outlook has flipped from a strongly positive reading to a modestly negative one. Yet the risk framework itself hasn't budged from its mildest tier, and the short-term stance has shifted to Neutral rather than an outright Sell — a sign this reads as a trend testing its footing rather than one breaking down. Ten days and a 13.2% gain into this Buy and Hold position, the coming few sessions should clarify whether this is a healthy pause or the start of something more significant. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
