Market Awareness

Nice reaction from NVDA, NQ is right at the top of the downward trendline. I still think looking a few days ahead we’re in chop mode for decent follow through at least. Let’s see if the market can hold here or we see a fade/narrowing of the names holding the gap up.

Today’s Picks

CRNC: Strong trifecta Beat and Raise, Strong beats on Revs, EPS, EBITDA & GMs. Strong FCF. The company provides automotive conversational AI (AI Powered Voice and UI for cars). IP Monetization and first shipping cars in 2026. Nice AI play. Chart in a range so needs power to push up and out. High Short Interest.

X-Ray CRNC: Industry Group: Software - Application, Market Cap: 343.09M, Float: 40.58M Short Interest 17.65%, Days to Cover: 4.15, Exchange: NASDAQ

WMT: Strong Beat and Raise, Strong FCF. Raised FY26, eCommerce acceleration. Strong Gross margins, Advertising accelerating 52% YoY Really nice long base chart, much slower mover but I like this one for a sustained move if it can get going here.

X-Ray WMT: Industry Group: Discount Stores, Market Cap: 802.15B, Float: 4.36B Short Interest 0.89%, Days to Cover: 2.34, Exchange: NYSE

NOTE: NVDA obviously may work here but I think sympathy plays might have more juice.
