Stocks in Play - 18th June 2026
Today in Focus: HIVE, INTC, QTEX, UUUU
Trading Services I Use:
StockAnalysis.com - I’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’s a no brainer. They’ve given me a discount code if you use IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.
Situational Awareness:
Market Condition: Bullish Gap Up
Commentary: Very strong gap up today. Surprised to see it. Of course this morning I was late starting my pre-market work and we’ve had the most PR I’ve seen in ages. So keeping the newsletter short today as I don’t have time for write ups.
This morning I’m watching QTEX, HIVE, INTC, UUUU
All have had PR this morning. INTC I will say that the Apple news is not new and it’s basically just because Trump tweeted it. That being said it may be enough to get it moving. Chart looks great and it’s shown tremendous RS. UUUU has the worst chart. HIVE and QTEX are more secondary/continuations in terms of PR.
I am also watching some continuation setups that I’ve posted below from my Stocks in Play watchlist.
Apologies for the short newsletter! Remember market is closed tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
