A Closer Look at $SPY, $SPCX, $NBIS & $AAOI

Hey everyone! 👋 Here are the key levels I'm watching across a few names right now. Some are holding support, while others are approaching levels where the short-term structure could change quickly. 🎯 🟢 $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ — Still Bullish, But This Level Matters $SPY remains bullish and is holding support, but the current VP shelf is critical. If $SPY breaks below that shelf, I’d expect a quick ~1.35% move lower through the price vacuum. For now, the bullish structure remains intact—but this is a level worth watching closely. 👀 🚀 $SpaceX(SPCX)$ — Back at a Short-Term Buy Zone $SPCX is back near a short-term buy zone, with the $130 pivot becoming the key level. If $130 holds, the setup remains

3 Trading Setups to Study: $RNG, $P & $SEDG

Hey everyone! 👋 Here are three setups worth keeping in the trading journal—not just because they worked, but because the price action offers useful lessons that can be studied and repeated. 📚📈 1. $RingCentral(RNG)$ — Post-Earnings Reaction Still Holding 18 sessions in, $RNG still hasn’t violated its 10-MA, even after stalling at roughly 10× ATR% above the 50-MA. The last three sessions have formed a higher low, recovering from the -4.9% pullback on August 14. This is exactly the kind of post-earnings reaction worth saving, studying and reviewing. 🧠 Wire this one into your trader’s muscle memory. 2. $Everpure(P)$ — Stalled at 10× ATR% ⚠️ $P also stalled after reaching roughly 10× ATR% above its 50-MA.

$SPX Leaning Higher: Both Sides of the Trade Printed

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ was leaning higher going into tomorrow. The key question was whether the move would finish the B-wave or mark the start of the next leg higher. A weekly close back above last week's low at 7,717 would suggest the rally had already begun. 🎯 Primary Setup The main bullish signal was the SMT divergence with $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ holding, supporting the view that $SPX could continue higher from here. The plan was simple: 🟢 Long in the morning 🔴 Short into the close And both setups printed. Both trades cashed. 💰 Sometimes the best trades aren't about predicting every move—they're about having a clear level, a defined bias, and the discipline to act when the setup appears.

Your Turn! Bitcoin!

$iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ It's Bitcoin's shorts' turn to get squeezed. This is quite instructive — so what other products out there currently have high short interest? Speaking of which, I saw a large 100,000-contract bearish block trade a few days ago $IBIT 20281215 20.0 PUT$ , with notional volume of roughly $30+ million. Although it hasn't been closed yet, it's currently down 15%. Fortunately, it's a long-dated put, which is more resistant to downward moves — a near-term put would probably be down 50% by now. Bullish call block trades are the 39.5 call and 45 call $IBIT 20260925 39.5 CALL$
Your Turn! Bitcoin!

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ I continue to average up my position in $Palantir(PLTR)$ because I'm investing in the long-term AI story, not simply chasing the recent price momentum. Palantir has built a strong position at the intersection of AI, data analytics and enterprise software, with its platforms becoming increasingly important for companies and governments looking to turn AI into real-world applications. For me, the key is that Palantir is not just an AI "story" — it has an established business, recurring customers and a platform that can potentially scale significantly as AI adoption accelerates. Another reason I'm comfortable averaging up is the company's execution. Palantir continues to demonstrate strong demand for its AI cap

8/20 Pre-Market Thoughts: Hard Assets Rampage

One-sentence theme: A massive rotation is underway — gold at 4,500, crude oil +3%, bitcoin short-squeeze rally (hard assets rampage), while U.S. stocks continue to pull back. Fiscal stimulus failed to suppress long-end rates, and risk appetite has shifted toward physical assets. I. Sentiment Focus: Hard Assets Surging Across the Board Gold breaks above 4,500: The U.S. Treasury announced at least a doubling of long-end repurchase scale (injecting liquidity) → gold surged to 4,500. However, pre-market Thursday saw the 30-year Treasury yield rebound sharply, returning to pre-announcement levels → fiscal stimulus failed to suppress long-end rates, and U.S. equities continued their pullback. Crude oil +3%, maintaining strong upward momentum. Bitcoin short squeeze! Surged to 72,000, with $2.7 bi
8/20 Pre-Market Thoughts: Hard Assets Rampage
TOPpopzi: Gold above 4500 still tracks the same setup for me: sticky inflation plus softer real yields. The sharp move can cool off, but dips still look like the cleaner sell put window.

$C3.ai, Inc.(AI)$ $C3.ai, Inc.(AI) Closes +5.17% at $10.38: AI Software Play Reclaims $10 Handle, $10.47 Resistance in Sight Latest Close Data: C3.ai finished Wednesday at $10.38 (+5.17%), with intraday range $9.74–$10.41.
