📰 In This Issue…

Quick personal note: I've been fighting a chronic cough — but the timing was kind, because the market has been quiet and trading sideways, with few setups that suit this style of trading. No sense forcing trades that aren't there.

So this week is about patience and preparation. We're tracking the strongest themes in the market and waiting for clean setups to trigger. Here's the watchlist by theme:

• Finance: $DAVE ( ▼ 5.03% ) (Dave Inc.)

• Semiconductors: $AMD ( ▲ 1.1% ) (Advanced Micro Devices), $UMC ( ▲ 0.46% ) (United Microelectronics), $MU ( ▲ 2.77% ) (Micron), $ASX ( ▼ 2.2% ) (ASE Technology), $ALAB ( ▲ 2.59% ) (Astera Labs)

• Computer Peripherals: $WDC ( ▼ 1.94% ) (Western Digital)

• Computer Storage/Systems: $SNDK ( ▲ 5.5% ) (Sandisk), $STX ( ▼ 0.17% ) (Seagate)

• Computer Hardware: $HPE ( ▼ 0.13% ) (HP Enterprise), $DELL ( ▼ 0.05% ) (Dell)

• Electrical/Power: $BE ( ▼ 2.12% ) (Bloom Energy), $VRT ( ▲ 0.64% ) (Vertiv)

A note on energy: names like $FTI ( ▲ 3.05% ) have set up, but energy trades often carry weaker risk-to-reward, so I'm selective there — though I'll still take the clean ones. Which brings us to today's chart.

📰 Stock of the Day

$FTI ( ▲ 3.05% ) – Energy

Who they are: TechnipFMC is a global oil & gas services company specializing in subsea and surface energy technology.

The Monthly/Weekly View: A 3-month base on the monthly, with a Cup and Handle setting up on the weekly.

The Daily View: Pullbacks to the 20/50-Day MAs offered spots to add. The stock is now coiling into a VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) — the kind of tightening that precedes big moves.

The Trigger: Great, profitable earnings backing the setup.

📊 Trading Framework Reminder

Remember: Every long-term investment alert can also be played as a swing trade. When shorting, risk management is even more critical.

🦅 Long-Term Investors (3-12 Month Holds)

• Entry: Full position on breakdown.

• Profit Taking: Cover 1/4 to 1/5 at Goal 1.

• Exit Signal: Close above 20-day EMA (your trend guide) or 50-day EMA.

• Why? Strong moves are hard to time at the bottom, but the 20EMA acts as a reliable trend filter.

⚡ Swing Traders (2-6 Week Holds)

• Entry: Full position on breakdown.

• Profit Taking: Cover 1/3 at Goal 1.

• Final Exit: Cover the remainder at Goal 2.
