Hey Traders,<\/span><\/h2>\n

I hope you\u2019ve all had a wonderful weekend!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following up on my comments from my recent IA meeting, while there are certainly signs of a frothy, slightly euphoric market, I will continue to look for bullish consolidations that break out until we begin to see breakouts fail. Setups similar to what I mentioned on Thursday, like the QS and RKLB setup, just to name two of the setups that worked beautifully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, with that being said, let\u2019s jump into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consolidation Breakout in AAPL<\/b>: Beautiful consolidation at a converging 10 and 5-day SMA. I’m beginning to like this setup a lot more after Friday\u2019s pre-market dump and subsequent reclaim, as well as the strong close. I\u2019ll be looking for some relative strength intraday in the name, and a hold above Friday\u2019s high to initiate a long position for a breakout, with adds over $260 – a higher timeframe breakout level. I\u2019d be open to trailing this against the previous LOD, but if the market turns and we get a change of character, I\u2019d use discretion and cut most on a hold under VWAP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consolidation Breakout in GOOGL<\/b>: Like AAPL, not the greatest MOMO names right now. But both can certainly trend for multiple days should they break out. In GOOGL, I\u2019m loving the consolidation at the convergence of 10-, 20-, and 5-day SMAs. If this breaks Thursday\u2019s high, I\u2019d enter long with a LOD stop, ultimately targeting a move toward recent highs in the mid-$250s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pops to Short in DFLI<\/b>: Beautiful small-cap multi-day runner with excellent volume. Shifting to short bias now after Friday\u2019s intraday blow-off move and failure to reclaim $2. Now, if it reclaims $2 and churns, I wouldn\u2019t be interested in a short. But, if this pops into $2 and stuffs, I\u2019d look to size into a short against the HOD and target $1.6 – 1.3 as initial primary targets. I\u2019d potentially leave a core on for a swing depending on the intraday sell action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Momentum Short in OPEN<\/b>: Similar to what I mentioned during Thursday\u2019s meeting, I\u2019m keeping it simple in OPEN and looking to play the levels\u2014lovely tight consolidation right now, with $9 resistance and $7.80 significant support. Above\/below those levels, and we should see some expansion. Given the overhead and mass long exposure from retail, I\u2019m favoring a short sub support for momentum, targeting a move toward $7. But if this reclaims $9, we could certainly see an intraday squeeze back up to $10. In that sense, I am open-minded and just looking to play within the expected intraday range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stalking RGTI on the Short Side<\/b>: One of the easiest trades of last week was the $31 breakout, as discussed in the IA meeting briefly. Now, however, after further expansion on Friday and some minor signals in the market of a potential cooling period, I\u2019m focused solely on the short side. But, I won\u2019t be short out of the gate next week. Instead, we need to see a major shift in character from this leading speculative name. So, some things I will be looking out for: continuation to the upside on day 3 or 4, setting up a mean reversion, and an A+ opportunity. Above\/Below $40 stuff and begin to display rel. Weakness in the market. FRD setup and failure to reclaim. Overall market weakness and risk-off creep into the theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional Names on Watch for Continuation on Higher Lows and Breakouts: RKLB, QS, GEV, MP, SES, ETHA, IBIT.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
