Friday Market Recap: Big Tech Struggles

The markets were pretty bullish today with solid strength across the board.

Bulls are loaded with names like CAT, SHOP, MDT, and GD all pushing 97–98% strength, while the bears have some big losers like ABNB (-100%), TEAM (-93%), and INVH (-96%).

In the “Big 10,” I’m keeping an eye on TSM (96%) and AAPL (93%) holding strong, but it’s rough for AMZN, META, and NFLX, all sitting deep in the red.

Check out my scorecard here:

Bottom line: Market breadth looks solid, momentum’s strong, but it’s definitely a mixed bag in certain pockets—especially staples and a few of the big tech names.

Friday Market Recap: Tesla Takeover


The market’s leaning bullish today with overall strength at 57%, helped by solid momentum in both indices and sectors.

Big names like EA, JPM, GM, and Tesla are showing impressive strength, but not everything is firing. Consumer staples are struggling, and stocks like DXCM, ODFL, and KDP are some of the weakest performers.

Check out my scorecard here:

 

So while the overall tone is positive, the strength is really concentrated in select areas rather than across the board.

I’ll reach out next week with more broad market analysis.

Enjoy your weekend!

$TSLA to $500?

I just locked in $15,000 in profits on last week’s $TSLA pop, and I don’t think the move is over yet. As we head into Q4, there could be even more opportunity on the table.

If you’re trading Tesla or just want to see how I approach high-probability setups, this is one you won’t want to miss.

Friday Market Recap


The markets were pretty choppy this week. Mixed economic data and anticipation about what the Fed might do next kept traders on their toes.

Big tech names like $NVDA and $AAPL are still leading the action, while the major indexes are having a hard time holding steady. Energy and financial stocks have held up better, but overall there’s still a lot of back-and-forth and no clear trend yet.

Friday Market Recap


That’s a wrap on the first week of September!

We locked in a +100% gain by selling our December 250 calls on $GOOGL as the monthly squeeze fired long, while still holding October call debit spreads in $AMZN and $TSLA.

For the $QQQ daily squeeze, we’re waiting on a positive momentum shift before taking a long entry.

Meanwhile, $NVDA remains a concern for bulls as long as price stays below the daily 50 SMA.
