If I could only trade 1 setup, this is what it would be and here is why: ⤵️ (Plus 1 name that is showing the setup) A base breakout + re-test to the 200 SMA It sounds simple, but it can be extremely powerful It essentially captures two breakouts at once 1. The actual base breakout The consolidation phase is now over and enough bulls have came in and decided it is time to go higher Buying pressure creates higher highs But price needs some digestion (pullback to the base prior highs) before really trending higher 2. A re-claim of the 200 SMA If you have been following me, you know how important being above / around the 200 SMA is for my analysis This is the key line in the sand to gauge market sentiment on a name When bulls re-claim it, it attracts new buying pressure to show sentiment is turning Now add that in with additional rising moving averages that are crossing over / close to and this is a strong setup Not only is the setup strong, but R/R is usually superb at these levels You are not buying names "overextended" or scalping for pennies New market leaders often emerge from this type of setup Positive results can turn into the type of trades you only need to hit a few times a year to make your year First 3 names: $FSLR $ARM $RBRK All names from various themes at different points throughout the year And the name showing the same setup currently: $RDDT Of course, nothing is ever absolute and this setup like all the others does lose However, I believe what makes this setup so strong is the ignition it can get when it works which is what trading is all about $FSLR $ARM $RBRK all yielded 5+ R/R with $ARM being the huge winner

Always ironic when news comes out when a stock is at support.. $NBIS

@smedich1 @TrendSpider Would need to re-claim the 200 SMA before I have any interest IMO

@CJsCalls @TrendSpider $DUOL looks similar. Base breakout moving toward the 200.

@Volume_Stocks @TrendSpider We like those!

@CJsCalls @TrendSpider Nice! Give me all the Falling Wedges with Volume and I can feed my family

@StonkChris Well said As being a 25 year old, I can confirm this Luckily I have parents that would always support what I do But as someone who has other friends / situations, it can be brutal out there

Sometimes I post charts. Sometimes I post life advice. I think this one is worth sharing, especially with so many people in their young 20s on FinX. Here's my advice: You probably know what your parents want for your life, and there's often a lot of pressure to follow the path they envision for you. In many cases, it's well-intentioned, and there may be good reasons to consider it. But here's my advice: Go do whatever the hell you want to do with your life. You aren't here to write someone else's story. You're here to write your own. Just make sure you're willing to live with the consequences, good or bad, because those decisions belong to you.

@SRxTrades Every man was meant to create!

I don't think there’s a better feeling than the serotonin and dopamine you get during the process of building.. building your system, refining your process, sharpening your sword, even if it results in $0 in your pocket you're on the path to succeeding and that's all that matters pursue the process & give something your all then you'll truly be alive

@ZaStocks Well said You can’t make any $ if you don’t stay in the market Loss porn on here has been brutal lately

Market gains aren’t linear. Months 1–4 you might make 70%. Months 5–8 you might make only 5%. Months 9–12 you might make another 30%. Price action has been brutal lately but sometimes the win is simply staying afloat. If you can tread water until the trend returns you’ll be mentally and financially prepared to capitalize when the real opportunities come.

@ZaStocks Great view and perspective So much growth potential

The craziest thing about AI today is that it still isn’t fully mainstream. Demand already far exceeds available supply yet only a relatively small percentage of people are even using AI. What happens to today’s bottlenecks (especially compute) when robotics, agentic AI, autonomous vehicles, and other AI native technologies start scaling all at once? The idea that there’s a surplus of compute out there is ridiculous in my view.

@JonahLupton @yianisz If it holds the 0.5 fib, great chance of making new highs

@yianisz $PENG bouncing off the 50% fibs

$PENG is down 10% after closing a $750M convertible-notes offering and investors are pricing financing pressure before AI infrastructure upside. Penguin is funding growth with new capital, not cash flow..

@Venu_7_ Just buying charts with no fundamental analysis is like driving with no mirrors

You want to know why we need a little knowledge of fundamentals, even though most of us are primarily technical traders? You'll find hundreds of stocks with great-looking charts. The problem isn't finding setups - it's choosing the right ones. That's where fundamentals come in. Fundamentals help you filter and narrow down your watchlist before you even start analyzing charts. look for things like: - Revenue growth above 20% YoY - EPS growth above 20% YoY - Expanding margins - Strong guidance - Industry leaders with large TAMs Once I have that shortlist, technicals tell me when to buy, while fundamentals tell me what to buy. I don't think you need to become a CFA or read 200-page annual reports. Just understanding a few key metrics can dramatically improve your stock selection. Technicals help with timing. Fundamentals help with conviction. You need both to consistently find the biggest winners.

$BE price re-testing the Dec AVWAP today This is one I am watching closely to see how price reacts if it fills the gap below / taps the 200 SMA

@Venu_7_ Completely agree Nice write up my friend

One of the biggest lessons I've learned: Stock prices eventually follow earnings. In the short term, stocks can move on sentiment, news, macro events, or valuation expansion. But over the long term, EPS growth is one of the biggest drivers of stock performance. That's why I spend far more time studying future earnings estimates than trying to predict the next CPI print, Fed meeting, or headline. If a company's earnings per share doubles, triples, or compounds over several years, its intrinsic value generally increases as well. While valuation multiples can expand or contract, earnings growth remains the foundation of long-term returns. That's also why I rarely chase "cheap" stocks based solely on low P/E ratios. I'd rather own companies with rapidly growing earnings, expanding margins, and strong revenue growth than businesses with low valuations but little or no growth. Of course, analyst estimates aren't guarantees. They change as new information becomes available, and not every company will meet expectations. But consistently following forward EPS estimates helps you identify where institutions believe the strongest earnings growth is likely to occur. Over the long run, earnings are the engine. Stock price is simply the reflection of that engine.

You know we are close to a bottom when Jim Cramer says on @CNBC he’d rather own $FDX and $JBHT than data center names..

@Volume_Stocks Love action back to the 200 day

@Venu_7_ We like coiled bases 👀

$LB - LandBridge is one of the most overlooked AI infrastructure plays. AI data centers need land, power, and fiber. LandBridge owns 270k+ acres in the Permian with 99% gross margins and recurring lease revenue. It's also been coiling in a tight 20-month base.

@Venu_7_ Agreed Some of these names are strong watches for me $LITE one of my favorites

One of the biggest AI infrastructure themes I'm watching over the next 3-5 years is optics. Every new AI data center requires significantly more high-speed optical transceivers, coherent optics, optical DSPs, switches, and fiber connectivity than traditional cloud infrastructure. As clusters grow from tens of thousands to eventually millions of GPUs, the demand for bandwidth grows exponentially. That's why I believe Lumentum $LITE, Marvell Technology $MRVL, Ciena $CIEN, Applied Optoelectronics $AAOI, and Corning $GLW could be some of the biggest beneficiaries over the next few years. - Lumentum $LITE: EPS expected to grow from $6.21 to $28.70 by 2028. - Ciena $CIEN: EPS expected to grow from $3.09 to $14.40 by 2028. - Marvell Technology $MRVL: EPS expected to grow from $2.96 to $9.20 by 2029. - Applied Optoelectronics $AAOI: EPS expected to improve from -$0.66 to $4.75 by 2027. - Corning $GLW: EPS expected to grow from $2.11 to $5.84 by 2028. On average, these optics leaders are expected to grow EPS by nearly 3.8x (+279%) over the next 3-5 years, highlighting just how powerful the AI infrastructure buildout could be for the sector. Other names I'm watching in the ecosystem include Arista Networks $ANET, Coherent $COHR, Cisco $CSCO, Viavi Solutions $VIAV Compute, networking, optics, memory, storage, cooling, and power all need to scale together. I believe optics will become one of the most important picks-and-shovels themes of the AI infrastructure buildout over the next decade. Most of these stocks are currently testing or sitting near their 200-day moving averages, which I view as a healthy reset within a longer-term uptrend rather than the end of it. If AI infrastructure spending continues to accelerate, I believe this group could still be in the early innings of a much larger secular growth story.

Ok friends that is all from me today! 14 charts + updates have been posted 👊 Reviewed: $SPY $QQQ $IGV $MU $CRDO $PATH $GRND $BE $NBIS $TER $LITE $ASTS $AAOI $AVGO Many names at / approaching key spots on the chart to maintain uptrends or above 200 SMA We are in for a loaded week!
