$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ Quite a squeeze into the close. Looks like whoever was short, probably in the style of Burry, is covering now. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ 

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ VIX is heading toward zero, basically near the 2026 low at a time when we should be moving into a higher volatility environment. If the market is rewarding 3.5% inflation, shorts are in trouble for what feels like forever. Burry needs a wellness check.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ An update on that $120K challenge account. Started at $18K about three weeks ago, now sitting at $44.3K after a weekly gain of roughly $5K. DRAM had a nice move, putting the position up about 9%. I also have a covered call on MSTR currently in the green, which gives a bit of downside cushion. Current holdings are ORCL, OKLO, INTC, MSTR, ENPH, DRAM, and BTC. I trimmed DRAM by 200 shares and reduced Oracle a bit to free up some capital while keeping risk in check. Yes, I use margin on shares, but I don't plan to sit on it for long.

$SpaceX(SPCX)$ I still remember when TSLA first went wild and started swinging $100 overnight in stock price. I won't be sitting on the sidelines this time. Added more calls.

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ The flag pattern looks broken to me, and I think we're now heading for a reversal toward 347 on SPY and QQQ.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ My puts just got a serious boost from that Trump press conference. IV and premium both spiked about 40% right after.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ I've been thinking a lot about the connection between the surge in 100+ million dollar pro athlete contracts in the NFL and NBA — a new one seems to pop up every other day in 2026 — and the stock market hitting all-time highs this year. The idea is that all that money gets funneled right back into SPY, QQQ, DIA through the players' financial advisors. It's pretty interesting to think about.

Looking at a bubble chart that compares retail interest, based on watcher counts, for stocks across the AI infrastructure stack. $Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd(CRDO)$  below $130 was a favorite earlier this year. Now I really like $Celestica(CLS)$  below $320. The dislocations between retail interest and market cap or revenue growth are pretty intriguing. Memory and other well-established mega-caps are excluded from this. Revenue growth year-over-year is capped at 100% and the watcher count is capped at 50k just for presentation purposes. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ 

$AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Only AI can judge other AI models. They've endorsed App's AI models as top notch.

$SpaceX(SPCX)$ SpaceX is becoming one of the most crowded short trades on the market. With an estimated 30-35% of the free float sold short and more than 50% of shares on loan, the setup is starting to look increasingly interesting. If earnings surprise to the upside, key levels to watch are $120-125 for the first meaningful pressure on short sellers, $130-135 where things could accelerate as stop-losses begin to trigger, and $150+ where a full-blown short squeeze becomes much more realistic if buying volume stays strong. Similar squeeze dynamics have played out before in $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , $GameStop(GME)$ ,

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Palantir is over $100B market cap now, feels like it should at least get a bit of credit next to AppLovin.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ All daily and weekly SMAs have been recovered, and the trendline held with a clean bounce. Now the question is whether we get a push higher from here. Options flow has turned bullish too.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ I pointed this setup out on 7/28: "Bull flag into weekly demand. Bear trap setting up." QQQ has ripped +36 points from that zone since then. The move played out almost exactly as expected — late shorts got squeezed, and buyers stepped back in. Now Wave (4) looks complete. The big question is whether Wave 5 can keep the momentum going or if we get a quick shakeout first. I wouldn't be surprised by some profit-taking after this move. The trend still looks constructive as long as key demand levels hold. AI, mega-cap earnings, and strong tech leadership continue to support the bigger picture. I'm watching QQQ closely from here.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Anyone who managed to pick up shares after hours must be feeling pretty happy right now.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ There was a chance to pick up shares near the low, and the price hasn't really moved that far from it yet. Looks like the correction could be over.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$  I'm generally bullish on this, but the current price action is honestly pretty pathetic.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$  $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Last week was a bloodbath, so now it feels pretty obvious we're heading into a FAANG earnings rally this week. Weekend futures are already up nicely.

$SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$  $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust(DIA)$ Looks like gold and silver have confirmed a double bottom pattern. Finally.

$WeBuy Global Ltd.(WBUY)$ If I were a short stuck in this kind of situation, I would just cover. It's not worth it.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  closed at $748.32, up 0.84%, while $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  finished at $207.29, up 1.97%. NVDA clearly outperformed the broader market. During the rebound, its gains were about 2.3 times the market's. It still shows high-beta characteristics, with more intense volatility than the broader market. If the market continues to move higher, NVDA could push toward the $210–$213 range. I'm holding a half-position myself and would consider adding on a confirmed breakout.
