5 Stocks I’m buying as the market rips back

📰 In This Issue…

The market is recovering from a 15-week consolidation — the Nasdaq especially. The SPX and Nasdaq bounced strongly back above their 20-day and 50-day moving averages (bullish), and the VIX has fallen hard.

A lot of our picks have already made very strong moves off the bottom — and crypto has started moving too, so the strength is spreading across markets.

One note of caution: most of these stocks have built deep bases, and deep bases don't always run far above prior highs — they can resolve into double tops. The market is also already up ~10% on the year (above average), so I'm bullish but selective.

The clearest strength is in metals — silver, gold, and copper are all flashing very bullish signs, with copper leading the way. That's where a lot of today's list lives.

Here's what I'm watching.

Best Stocks To Buy Today

$STX ( ▲ 6.93% ) — Seagate Technology (Swing)

Who they are: Seagate is a mass-capacity data-storage / hard-drive maker riding surging AI data-center demand.

The Monthly/Weekly View: A 13-week deep base (~3 months).

The Trigger: A shakeout with strong support — tested 9 times and held. And the fundamentals are outstanding: +150%, +111%, +73%, +78% earnings growth over the last four quarters (YoY).

$HPE ( ▼ 0.46% ) — Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Long-Term Trade)

Who they are: HPE makes enterprise servers, storage, and networking — a core beneficiary of the enterprise AI and data-center build-out.

The Monthly/Weekly View: A 15-week base (~4 months) at all-time highs — a great sign.

The Daily View: A VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) — this kind of coiling typically precedes explosive moves.

The Trigger: Strong sector, with peers like $DELL ( ▼ 3.46% ) already broken out.

🦅 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.

🪙Copper Stocks

Copper just broke out of a 5-year base and is leading the metals complex — the miners tend to follow.

$CPXR ( ▲ 3.13% ) — 2x Leveraged Copper

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 Weekly/Daily View: A Cup and Handle breakout. Price is testing the breakout level and bouncing off it — while simultaneously bouncing off the 50-Day MA.

$HBM ( ▲ 1.74% ) — Hudbay Minerals (Long-Term Trade)

Who they are: Hudbay is a diversified copper/zinc/gold miner across the Americas — the higher-quality of the two main copper names here.

The Monthly/Weekly View: In the middle of a big base — currently a 6-month base forming a VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern), and coils like this normally lead to explosive moves. It's a consolidation after an 8-month run that broke out of a 13-month base.

The Daily View: The stock had a false breakout to all-time highs, then came back to test previous lows. This is not one to buy outright — since it's still inside the base, build a position slowly.

The Trigger: Following copper's 5-year base breakout. Fundamentals look great, and peers like $TGB ( ▲ 3.1% ) are showing strong patterns.

$TGB ( ▲ 3.1% ) — Taseko Mines (Long-Term Trade)

Who they are: Taseko is a North America-focused copper miner — a higher-beta, lower-quality way to play copper than $HBM, so size accordingly.

The Monthly/Weekly View: Also in a big 6-month base forming a VCP, following an 8-month run out of a 13-month base. Strong support around $6.20, where it keeps printing shakeouts on the monthly and weekly.

The Daily View: The pullback here is cleaner than in $HBM. It's in a consolidation range — build slowly and wait to see if it breaks out.

The Trigger: Following copper's 5-year base breakout with a strong sector behind it. Fundamentals are poorer than $HBM ( ▲ 1.74% ) , so size sparingly.

🎲 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.

⚡ Swing Trades

Smaller bases (4–6 weeks, under 4 months), primed for tighter swing trades.

Computer Peripherals

$WDC ( ▲ 4.13% )  — Western Digital (Swing)

Storage maker — hard drives and flash, an AI data-center storage beneficiary. A 13-week deep base (~3 months). Shakeout with strong support — tested 6 times. Outstanding fundamentals: +1,050%, +540%, +288% earnings growth over the last quarters (YoY).

Data Processing (crypto / AI momentum)

Benefiting from the strong move in crypto and AI over the past few weeks.

$HUT ( ▲ 8.52% ) — Hut 8 (Swing)

Bitcoin miner / data-center compute — a crypto-momentum name. 5% gap-up-and-go — a breakaway gap.

$CRCL ( ▲ 7.86% ) — Circle Internet Group (Swing)

Issuer of the USDC stablecoin — a core crypto-fintech name. 6% gap-up-and-go — breakaway gaps

Other tech

$GOOGL ( ▲ 0.64% ) — Alphabet (Swing)

Search, ads, Cloud, and a top AI franchise (Gemini). Looks like a sideways inverted head & shoulders. Use $GGLL ( ▲ 0.93% ) (2x) for a faster move.

Silver stocks

$AG ( ▲ 1.8% ) — First Majestic Silver (Swing)

Primary silver miner. A deep ~50% base — better to swing for now until it builds a cleaner setup

$EXK ( ▲ 0.39% ) — Endeavour Silver (Swing)

Silver miner. A deep ~50% base — better to swing for now until it builds a cleaner setup

Gold stocks

$CGAU ( ▲ 1.19% ) — Centerra Gold (Swing)

Gold miner. At all-time highs, testing the 20-Day MA after breaking out — a good sign

$AUGO ( ▼ 0.52% ) — Aura Minerals (Swing)

Gold & copper miner. Looks like a cup and handle.

$AU ( ▲ 0.91% ) — AngloGold Ashanti (Swing)

One of the world's largest gold producers. A 4-month base (big bases → big moves) with a weekly shakeout. Looks to be forming a VCP — each consolidation smaller than the last. Build a small position in the base and keep adding as it works toward all-time highs. One of the strongest gold stocks.

📊 Trading Framework Reminder
