$Uber(UBER)$ 🤖🚘🔥 Checkmate or Breakout: Uber’s Wedge Is Primed to Explode 🔥🚘🤖 I’ve been studying $UBER’s wedge compression since late 2024. This isn’t just a technical formation. It’s a pressure cooker. Price is trapped between descending resistance at $80.89 and rising support near $74. Add the upcoming 7 May earnings to the mix, and you’ve got a setup that’s either going to rip to $94.77 or collapse back toward $71.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ The stock market is teetering on the edge as investors brace for a pivotal week of earnings reports amid swirling economic uncertainty. With inflation ticking up to 3.1% in March 2025 and the Federal Reserve hinting at tighter policy, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has shed 4.2% this month, closing at 42,108.63 on April 28.

When I went long and entered trades on April 7th (T), right at the market bottom, it was met with significant pushback. Some argued the risk of the trade with current price action capitulation and pointed to the ongoing negative and uncertain tariff narrative. Worse, some even resorted to personal attacks in their feeds. It’s easy to dismiss the April 7th call as just another tweet on hindsight, but what many overlooked was the depth of research shared leading up to it. Since April 1st, despite holding sizable shorts, I had been laying out the groundwork: tracking market breadth hitting 5-year historic lows of 10/20/50/100/200-MA % to every index component stocks, observing the development of historical stretch of ATR% multiples relative to the 50-day MA extension, and just waiting for an

A couple of years ago I made a discovery about Stockmarket seasonality.It works differently during bull vs bear markets.It’s one of those sorts of research findings where once you lay it out, it seems kind of obvious. But sometimes you just need to look at the same things differently to come up with unique insights and better understanding.As a refresher, during down markets you tend to see a much more accentuated “Sell in May“ effect — while the same old rule of thumb barely works at all during bull markets.So where do things stand today?I used two methods in the original analysis to quantitatively define up vs down (bull vs bear) markets; and both saw consistent results.One was simply “did the market close the year up or down?“, the other was “is the index above or below its 200-day movi

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ I am optimistic about Palantir's upcoming Q1 earnings report on May 5, 2025, given the strong growth projections. Analysts expect an earnings per share of 0.13 dollars, a 62 percent increase year-over-year, with revenue reaching 864 million dollars, up 36 percent year-over-year. After five consecutive winning days, Palantir's stock has climbed back to 110 dollars. I believe these numbers reflect the company's solid performance in data analytics and its expanding role in government and commercial sectors, which fuels my confidence in its potential to hit an all-time high. I think Palantir's earnings could justify its high valuation if the company continues to demonstrate scala
