5 semiconductor swing trades I'm watching now.
Plus a copper pullback that just reclaimed its breakout — ALAB, AMD, ARM and KLAC inside.

📰 In This Issue…
-
Copper hit all-time highs and pulled back — a buyable dip inside a strong trend, not a top.
-
Semis make up most of this week's plays.
Both threads are really one story: they're what physically powers and computes the AI build-out. Copper wires the data centers and the grid feeding them; the chips do the thinking. When the metal and the silicon base and break at the same time, that's not a coincidence — it's demand showing up in the tape.
Best Stocks To Buy Today
$WDC ( ▲ 4.41% ) (Western Digital) — Swing Trade
The Company: Western Digital makes hard drives and flash storage — a direct beneficiary of the AI data explosion, since all that data has to live somewhere.
The Setup: Watching the base for a swing entry alongside the rest of this week's storage/semis theme.
WDC Daily
$CPXR ( ▲ 0.75% ) (2x Copper ETF) — Long-Term Trade / Commodity
What it is: Since you can't buy the metal outright, $CPXR is a 2x leveraged ETF that tracks the daily move in copper — the cleanest way to get geared exposure to the breakout.
The Monthly View: Copper has broken out of a 5-year base (2021–2026) and is now printing its first 4-month pullback after that 54-month base — this can be a strong 2-year move. Zoom out and that 5-year base sits inside a 10-year base, which means this could run for up to 4 years.
The Daily Setup: A cup-and-handle breakout. Copper just tested the 20-day MA — a great spot to add — while it tests the breakout level and bounces off it, and off the 50-day MA at the same time.
The Trigger: Price holding the breakout level and reclaiming the 20-day MA on the pullback.
💡 Tip: Trade copper through $CPXR ( ▲ 0.75% ) (2x). Keep the copper miners $HBM and $TGB on your radar.

🦅 Long-Term Trades — Fundamentally Strong Companies
These names have built massive bases (>3 months), so they're primed for long, big moves. This list focuses on fundamentally sound companies.
🎲 Long-Term Trades — Speculative
Massive bases (>3 months), primed for big moves. These companies may not be profitable yet, but the technical structure promises upside.
âš¡ Swing Trades
Smaller bases (4–6 weeks, under 4 months), primed for tighter swing trades.
$ALAB ( â–¼ 0.36% ) Swing trade
Connectivity chips (PCIe/CXL retimers) that move data between AI accelerators — a pure pick-and-shovel play on data-center compute.
ALAB Daily
$AMD ( â–² 6.5% ) Swing Trade
CPUs and AI accelerators — the clearest challenger in the AI-GPU race.
AMD Daily
$ARM ( â–² 0.28% ) Swing Trade
Licenses the chip architecture behind nearly every phone — and increasingly the data center. It gets paid on volume across the whole industry.
ARM Daily
$KLAC ( â–¼ 2.7% ) Swing Trade
Process-control and inspection equipment — the "quality control" layer every chip fab depends on. Picks and shovels for the fabs themselves.
KLAC Daily
