Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Strong Overall, Muted Open</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quiet Open today.

I took a small position last night on $95 U&amp;R in RBRK which I am willing to add to or else just cut if the stock fails.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall have some great positions right now and really feel like NVDA is going to make a strong advance.

So much so I&#8217;ve spent more time reviewing than normal. On days like this when there is plenty of things gapping up you generally have to pick 1 to 3 names out of them and just go with it. If you&#8217;re wrong and miss something else then just live with it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With that in mind my focuses this morning are <strong>NVDA</strong>, <strong>OKTA</strong> and <strong>DG</strong>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I bought <strong>NVDL</strong> last night while listening to the earnings call. Report was very bullish but the 2028 Guide of 70% Growth (even with Memory Bottleneck) vs. the markets predicted 45% is a huge jump. I think <strong>NVDA</strong> can go on a sustained run here. I will look to add on the open if we get a setup.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>OKTA</strong> strong earnings and acceleration of RPOs. I felt this has the strongest chart and earnings of the Cyber Sec names.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>DG</strong> strong results and acceleration in Comps and Store Traffic. The stock is neglected and I think can make a sustained move from here.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Other names like CRWD, CRM etc. obviously had good results which is a positive for the market but I felt they were much more incremental and with very little surprise. They may still work but as mentioned above just have to narrow it down as best you can on days like today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bullish leaning overall and would love to see the QQQ advance from here after some normal consolidation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.stocksinplay.net/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.stocksinplay.net/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Trade Updates:</span></h3><p><strong><span>Current Positions:</span></strong><span> TEAM, NIQ, PLTR, ABCL, QMCO, HTFL, RZLV, NVDL</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><span>Stocks in Play Watchlist:</span></strong></h3><p><em><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/watchlists/197921807/?aff_id=25236&amp;utm_campaign=stocks-in-play-16th-june-2026&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_source=www.stocksinplay.net&amp;aff_id=25236"><span>Stocks in Play Watchlist (TradingView Link)</span></a></em></p><div><hr></div><div class="community-chat" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.substack.com/pub/stocksinplay/chat?utm_source=chat_embed&quot;,&quot;subdomain&quot;:&quot;stocksinplay&quot;,&quot;pub&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:9315187,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Stocks in Play&quot;,&quot;author_name&quot;:&quot;Sean Sharpe&quot;,&quot;author_photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!IJxg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd5bf1f2-353f-4c09-87d6-bf940d1b3ebc_400x400.jpeg&quot;}}" data-component-name="CommunityChatRenderPlaceholder"></div><p></p><p><strong><span>Have a Great Week!</span></strong></p><p><em><span>Sean Sharpe</span></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stocks in Play - 26th August 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today in Focus: TH]]></description><link>https://www.stocksinplay.net/p/stocks-in-play-26th-august-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.stocksinplay.net/p/stocks-in-play-26th-august-2026</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:10:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cf4577ba-cb6d-4506-b6a7-19832a1e428a_2816x1536.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Trading Services I Use:</span></h5><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><a href="https://stockanalysis.com/?utm_campaign=stocks-in-play-16th-june-2026&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_source=www.stocksinplay.net"><span>StockAnalysis.com</span></a></em><span> - I&#8217;ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer.

been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Flat Open, Patience</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Solid selling yesterday.

If we start to break below 20EMAs then yeah sure then I&#8217;m pressing the brake in a big way.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png" width="1456" height="660" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:660,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:272213,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.stocksinplay.net/i/211850743?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!K5ce!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5f62730-19cd-42ec-86ee-6827408c62ae_3009x1363.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: justify;">No follow through so far on Yields, Oil, Dollar or VIX.

NBIS which was a delayed entry for me was a stop out for a small profit. I stand by my initial read that neither this or CRWV were Episodic Pivots. That being said for a short duration it would have been a good trade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The only obvious stock to look at today is <strong>MRNA</strong> on their Positive Trial with <strong>MRK</strong>. This is huge news but the stock reaction has very much reflected that with a massive 100% move in the pre market. Maybe it can work but I think entry and risk are difficult here. I do think the stock can certainly have follow through. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Gap Down Open</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Decent gap down on no real news as such.

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer.

been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Bullish, Flat Open</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Nice market breakout this week.

In terms of longs I like <strong>NU</strong> and <strong>HTFL both with strong earnings</strong>. Neither of which are 5* however. <strong>HTFL</strong> is in an IPO base so needs to break above $40 to be in play. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>UMAC</strong> is the other obvious one that is moving this morning on Trump Tariffs on Drone parts from outside the US. This company is connected to Don Jr. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever made money on a company connected to the Trumps. For whatever reason they always seem to rug pull. That being said it&#8217;s worth mentioning and the chart looks constructive.

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Bullish, Patience</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Hard not to be bullish here but the goal is to withstand any volatility before we breakout.

What a move.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today I think most peoples eyes are on <strong>CRWV</strong> and <strong>NBIS. </strong>I don&#8217;t really see a surprise in either of them to be honest. The only thing that happened was that they essentially re-affirmed the insatiable demand for the industry. Neither chart rocks my world so for better or worse I am going to just place them on the delayed watchlist. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think that <strong>SOXL or TQQQ</strong> might be the best way to express bullishness on the industry today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m a bit short on time so no full write up but I like <strong>HYLN</strong> if it can power up passed $5 on big earnings beat and raise and military contract announcement. It&#8217;s hitting the underside of 50MA on that $5 level so it may be an issue. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally worth setting an alert on <strong>DFTX</strong> with strong Phase 3 data release. Nothing happening in the pre market but above $50 could have a strong move. Just a secondary watch for me if volume comes into it.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.stocksinplay.net/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.stocksinplay.net/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p></p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Trade Updates:</span></h3><p><strong><span>Current Positions:</span></strong><span> TWLO, TEAM, ABCL, PLTR, NIQ, QMCO</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><span>Stocks in Play Watchlist:</span></strong></h3><p><em><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/watchlists/197921807/?aff_id=25236&amp;utm_campaign=stocks-in-play-16th-june-2026&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_source=www.stocksinplay.net&amp;aff_id=25236"><span>Stocks in Play Watchlist (TradingView Link)</span></a></em></p><div><hr></div><div class="community-chat" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.substack.com/pub/stocksinplay/chat?utm_source=chat_embed&quot;,&quot;subdomain&quot;:&quot;stocksinplay&quot;,&quot;pub&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:9315187,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Stocks in Play&quot;,&quot;author_name&quot;:&quot;Sean Sharpe&quot;,&quot;author_photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!IJxg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd5bf1f2-353f-4c09-87d6-bf940d1b3ebc_400x400.jpeg&quot;}}" data-component-name="CommunityChatRenderPlaceholder"></div><p></p><p><strong><span>Have a Great Day!</span></strong></p><p><em><span>Sean Sharpe</span></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stocks in Play - 11th August 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today in Focus: FF, QMCO, Patience]]></description><link>https://www.stocksinplay.net/p/stocks-in-play-11th-august-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.stocksinplay.net/p/stocks-in-play-11th-august-2026</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:56:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9d02400a-ac3a-4b01-866a-db82d9b9c0c5_2816x1536.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Trading Services I Use:</span></h5><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><a href="https://stockanalysis.com/?utm_campaign=stocks-in-play-16th-june-2026&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_source=www.stocksinplay.net"><span>StockAnalysis.com</span></a></em><span> - I&#8217;ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

The jobs numbers this week were positive for that narrative. Next week remains to be seen.</span></p><p>For me the focus this week <strong>is sticking to process</strong>. Looking at average charts for too long can blur the senses. <strong>Going back through your chart books regularly is very important to focus in on the fact that when something is top quality it stands out like a sore thumb.</strong> The opportunities are coming.

Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it&#8217;s a no brainer. They&#8217;ve given me a discount code if you use STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Situational Awareness:</span></h3><p><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Market Condition:</span></strong><span> Market Below all MAs, Cautious Approach</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);">Commentary:</span></strong><span data-color="#2ac38b" style="color: rgb(42, 195, 139);"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yields, Dollar and Oil red going into today.

Lot&#8217;s of news out this morning about more Korean leverage wipeouts overnight. I think a Red to Green on the <strong>QQQ</strong> is getting likely. Note we do have the <strong>FED meeting tomorrow</strong> and again there is more news flow coming out about surprise hikes. Regardless of all these narratives we are looking at price.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There isn&#8217;t a lot in terms of quality catalyst so I won&#8217;t waste time with Writeups. I&#8217;m looking at <strong>ALT</strong> on Positive Phase 2 Data for Alcohol Use Therapy. High Short Interest is the main draw here. Worth noting however that Biotech land was rocked yesterday with <strong>CAPR</strong> on FDA claims they had manipulated data and the same is occurring today with <strong>REPL.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The other watch is <strong>FIRY</strong> (formerly SKLZ) on a rehash of Court Case Win and large award in their favor. This is not new but the judge signed off on the higher recommended judgement yesterday so potential for it to be active intraday.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>NMAX</strong> is a last minute one worth watching also with <strong>META</strong> Partnership story.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall I think it&#8217;s a hit and run or do nothing market. Both are fine approaches. The latter being the easiest. All of the above are not 5 star and it&#8217;s frankly difficult to tell what is going to work when they&#8217;re of average quality in a bad market. If you can&#8217;t sit out there is a case for just using market ETFs instead.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Note I am away tomorrow until Friday so there are no newsletters for the rest of the week.

We also have some major market movers reporting. Unfortunately the market conditions have basically nerfed this earnings season so far. The QQQ is performing the worst and it&#8217;s below all major moving averages and on Friday threatened a proper breakdown out of it&#8217;s 3 month range. The SPY and DIA are performing marginally better but still under pressure. We are however still well able to just bounce here and continue the chop. Either way I&#8217;d be in no rush to press the accelerator. In an ideal scenario we&#8217;d get some sort of panic event that causes a proper fear sell off&#8230;but that&#8217;s the dream.

can stabilize. I am however leaning more bearish now and will make a bigger effort to monitor short catalysts for follow through. Shorts are something I&#8217;ve been doing a lot more work on in recent times but they behave differently and day one requires more of a day trade element in my opinion vs. how long catalysts act in a good market. That being said they can be very profitable.</span></p><p><strong><span>MSFT</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>META</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>AAPL</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>AMZN</span></strong><span> are the big hitters this week followed by </span><strong><span>ARM</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>HOOD</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>STX</span></strong><span> and the two big Oilers </span><strong><span>XOM</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>CVX. </span></strong><span>As always I&#8217;ve highlighted the best charts and stocks of note below. There are far more stocks reporting this week, too many to mention. I think it&#8217;s beneficial to not get stuck in the weeds too much right now.</span></p><p><span>On a macro front we have a big week also. The highlight being the </span><strong><span>FED Rate decision on Wednesday at 2pm ET</span></strong><span>. </span><strong><span>US PCE for June on Thursday at 8:30am</span></strong><span> is also important.</span></p><p>For me the focus this week <strong>is sticking to process</strong> and using the spare time (that is likely to be the case) to really refresh myself on what a good setup looks like. Looking at average charts for too long can blur the senses. <strong>Going back through your chart books regularly is very important to focus in on the fact that when something is top quality it stands out like a sore thumb.</strong> Right now nothing is standing out like a sore thumb.
