@blondesnmoney Ya but to be fair, that’s 16 whole candles on a 15m timeframe.

It is interesting we are just three years into AI and arguably at the beginning of a cycle that will inject AI into countless aspects of society and change life as we know it, yet people are using the price action of 10 AM to 2 PM to declare what the next decade will look like.

$LWLG today's IP-counsel hire isn't about defending patents. The "licensing-friendly ecosystem" language fits a foundry level licensing framework, ARM style, not a single Stage 4 customer. ATM expanded into strength two weeks ago. AH tape says *someone* knows. Earnings 5/7

@ZaStocks youve been nailing it lately with the similarities to the china tariff situation last year & this observation. ive felt it even goes back a bit further to the market set up when the tariff tantrum began/iran war began.

Nobody knows if we bottomed, all you can do is act with the context and information provided by the market. And the most recent context has been: - Largest buy volume day (Tuesday) in the S&P 500 since Trump told us to buy stocks in April 2025 - Reclaim of the 10 day and 50 week moving average in the Nasdaq - Nasdaq reversing a 2% gap down to close green after Trump’s press conference - Many stocks continuing to act well - Groups and themes leading - Bad news getting absorbed - Horrible sentiment Time will tell, but this is reality as of the last few days.

@snorlax_uw How do you determine when a change in OI is significant enough to continue monitoring? % of volume from the day prior carrying to new OI? Some other metric?

Changes in OI: 1) Some of the $INTC 47c weeklies closed yesterday given today's decrease in OI 2) $ASTS nearly all of the 95c 4/2 closed during yesterday's opening hour of trading 3) $DELL 175c 5/15 with opening flows Tuesday that were closed out yesterday 4) $HPE 3x normal volume yesterday. Lots of new OI across a variety of strikes.

@VolumeLeaders $RTX pls & ty as always

Let's do some charts. The request lines are open for the next hour or so. I'll answer as many as I can. Drop a ticker symbol in the comments. One per customer, please. $SPY, $QQQ, $IWM

@NoLimitGains @grok what are the implications here for $RTX?

🚨 THE IRAN WAR HAS COST $10 BILLION IN 7 DAYS: $6 billion in operations. $4 billion in munitions. That’s $1.43 billion PER DAY. The New York Times just published the numbers. Let me show you what happens if this doesn’t end soon. At the current burn rate: 30 days: $43 billion. More than the entire annual budget of the Department of Homeland Security. 60 days (Hegseth’s timeline): $86 billion. That’s what the US spent per year in Afghanistan at PEAK war. 90 days: $129 billion. 6 months (Iran says they can fight this long): $259 billion. If this runs through September, $306 BILLION. And costs are accelerating, not slowing down. CSIS confirmed $3.5 billion of the first $3.7 billion was completely unbudgeted. Congress has not authorized a single dollar. The White House says 4 to 6 weeks. Hegseth just extended to 8 weeks. Iran’s IRGC says 6 months. Nobody actually knows. Meanwhile the war is costing $1.4 billion a day to fight and TRILLIONS more in market destruction. $3.5 trillion wiped from financial markets in one week alone. The New York Times headline: “A punishing military campaign with no coherent endgame.” If you don’t already know, this matters to markets around the world, and EVERYONE will be impacted by it. But don’t worry, I’ll keep updating you on what I’m doing. Markets move fast so turn on notifications, this is very important. Many people will wish they followed me sooner.

@VolumeLeaders would make sense. the mkt also does not look like it is going to be accommodating to risk on in the immediate short term

Great question. Short answer - I don't know. I'd prefer to see how Monday opens and then go from there. But here's a possibility. Price has moved 2 ATRs off the low on the daily chart. We saw a similar 2 ATR move when the decline began. That was followed by a period of chop above the endpoint of that move. Perhaps something similar?

$NFXL (2x $NFLX) - Today's opening trade was its largest since inception. Meanwhile, the underlying recaptured the #1 level today.

@VolumeLeaders how are you interpreting #3 on Friday? Based on current news seems bullish to me, but interested in your thoughts. TIA

$NFLX - More arrived at the close. #1 and #3 in such close proximity provides a great area against which bias can be formed in the near term.

@jbulltard1 @PurpleDrink_LLC He moved onto the DOW now. He will keep pumping stocks. Just not the ones a lot of people expect

@PurpleDrink_LLC we can bounce a little more, I just don't see the downtrend breaking this quickly, but then again trump exists solely to pump stocks so we have that going for us

I know stocks only go up but the $qqq is in a downtrend now and even that massive bounce Friday didn’t sniff the 100 day. I’d be really shocked if we instantly recover all these moving averages. Feels like we will test and reject lower to test that 200 day soon.

My vocabulary is not extensive enough to adequately express just how retarded this is $HIMS

@VolumeLeaders Ty!

@CleanConvexity $VZ

$SPY, $QQQ, $IWM Let's do some charts. Post your requests in this thread. One per customer, please. I'll do as many as I can.

@jbulltard1 A $15K sub that has an area for a coupon code

Imagine paying this to have this guy tell you $hims is going to $1t and $duol at $500 is early days right before both end up losing 80%

@salmaogs that was my read also, ty again

@CleanConvexity Looks bought but tight spread so it’s hard to read

Today's price action is just straight up unreal

$NQ falls over 6% in days, $NVDA announces chip delays due to memory shortages, $SNDK pulls back to it's 8d ema & holds, and you're bearish $SNDK ??

@OptionsMir @ConnorJBates_ I exited my 3 month long SNDK position in favor of AVGO. At this point if we’re looking at the next 2-4 months I believe there is now way more meat on AVGOs bone than SNDK.

@ConnorJBates_ $AVGO had several reactions post earnings that seemed like blow off tops before one finally held. issue is fundamentals don’t support a blow off top for sndk yet

My thoughts: - 400% extended from the 200-DMA at the highs after hours... Extreme EXTREME. - Price starting to go vertical and breaching upper trend-line. - A lot of the narrative/fundamentals had been priced in... this stock started its run in February 2025 and staged a 1800% advance. - Other peers in the group going parabolic... $MU ++ $WDC $STX with a similar blow off move on ER. - The earnings report was INSANE but again that makes it even more likely for a sell the news event on the gap... it simply was priced in despite it being a blockbuster report. - Everyone focused on the metals lost sight of this potential climax. Right off the open you had a failure above pre market highs and was an all day fader. As someone who owned this stock long, my game plane right into the day was to trim aggressively off the gap as these factors gave me the bias that this could be a sell the news and it was quickly proven right with the action off the open. ++ Edge with the weaker market backdrop lately with strength failing and given the magnitude of extensions for this stock + group a sell the news event was more likely. Just my thoughts @BrianLeeTrades

@NnPnemck they stand for nothing. Their policies change like the wind. Listen to old clips of Clinton & Obama (revered in their times) saying the exact same things current R's say, but now you're a racist/sexist/whateverist monster for those same ideas.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to understand what, exactly, the modern Democrat Party offers the American voter. And I’m genuinely asking. I’ve tried to remove my bias, step outside myself, and look at this from a neutral perspective…but I still can’t figure it out. Mass amnesty does nothing for the average American. Higher taxes to subsidize millions of illegal migrants do nothing for the average American. Releasing violent repeat offenders back onto the streets and then gaslighting the public about “restorative justice” does nothing but hurt the average American. Homeless “initiatives” that burn billions w no accountability help no one except the nonprofits running the grift. Our schools are a nightmare, discipline is gone, standards keep dropping, and parents who speak up are smeared as extremists. Then look at everything else: • Energy policies that make everyday life more expensive, from gas to groceries • DEI hiring that values ideology over competence- in medicine, aviation, law, and government…and somehow we’re all supposed to pretend this makes our country stronger. • Child gender experiments that would have been illegal a decade ago, now framed as “healthcare,” w lifelong consequences we’re not allowed to question. • Massive taxpayer fraud, whether it’s homeless nonprofits, childcare programs, Medicaid mills, unemployment theft, or “migrant emergency funding” that mysteriously vanishes into thin air. • Open borders that flood working class communities with costs, crime, and competition for jobs and housing. And even the two systems that were meant to help struggling Americans, healthcare and welfare, have become catastrophic liabilities. • Endless welfare expansions w zero accountability. A safety net is good, but Democrats turned it into a political bribe… it is a system of permanent dependence instead of temporary stability. • Healthcare subsidies that were supposed to make coverage affordable… but ended up raising premiums for everyone not on a government plan. The average family now pays more for healthcare than rent. How is that helping voters? Every solution creates three new problems, none of which they ever fix. So what is the upside for the average American voter? What are Democrat voters actually getting in return for their loyalty? Because from where I’m standing, the only people winning under Democrat policies are: ➤ bureaucrats ➤ illegals ➤ activists ➤ NGOs ➤ government contractors ➤ and politicians who create chaos and then fundraise off the damage. Everyone else pays the price.

@Volume_Stocks There was also an earnings play attached to it. 1/29 they bought $700K in 2/20 41.5 calls. On Friday they closed out that trade for roughly $4M and re-upped with 19K 45c for 2/20 around $750K worth

@CleanConvexity It looks great! $T is looking good as well. I'm looking for an Inside Bar to form next week for a possible entry.

@Volume_Stocks would be interested in your thoughts on $VZ chart. Over 4 RVOL Friday on the back of earnings + new CEO, broke out of a tight range it’s been in for a while
