The US State Department is preparing to order some U.S. embassy staff and their families in the Gulf region to evacuate, two officials said. The move comes amid concerns that hostilities could resume, particularly with the possibility of renewed clashes involving Yemen’s Houthi movement, which is allied with Iran
Another piece of news is that humanoid robotics technology has made a major breakthrough. China currently has the widest application of humanoid robots worldwide, followed by the United States. As the technology continues to advance, we could see mass production of various humanoid robot models over the next five years. This also means that the valuations of companies specializing in humanoid robot components could increase significantly. I remain firmly bullish on CGNX
The short-term power shortage is likely to become more severe as winter approaches. This also means that companies like POWL could return to the list of stocks attracting speculative capital. What we need to do is keep track of the market’s momentum and time our trades accordingly
Congrats to those still holding $BE. Today’s rally ties to Elon’s internal comments and supports the thesis. Beyond chips, power is a major constraint on AI growth. Turbine components for traditional power equipment face 12 to 18 month delivery cycles. $BE’s model bypasses that bottleneck entirely, which is why capital is refocusing on it
Congratulations to everyone who went long on QQQ! It has already reached the TP level. I recommend TP on half of your position and holding the other half to monitor price action. If QQQ makes a new high this afternoon, consider TP on the remaining half around 725
Gold (XAUUSD) has formed a bottom at 4100 on the daily chart, pointing to a higher probability of a rebound ahead. Today's strategy focuses on buying on dips, with support at 4130 and resistance at 4160
BE and MU are the best indicators to gauge whether this rebound can last. If BE can hold support at 220, and MU can maintain support at 900, it implies this wave of rebound could persist through the end of the week
Benefiting from the earnings reports of SPCX and SMCI, AI hardware stocks saw a broad rebound today. The key to observe is whether there will be a high level pull back today; if the pull-back is too deep, it will signal a 'sell on rebound' for bulls, rather than a true market reversal
US officials say 'no rush' to resume military action against Iran, as major stock futures rise together; Nvidia up over 2% pre-market, expanding production with supply chain partners to accelerate AI infrastructure development; High-performing stocks SpaceX and Super Micro Computer gain pre-market, while poor-performers Intuitive Surgical and Netflix drop; Tesla and Meta set to report earnings after market close
As oil prices approach $100 again and bond yields remain elevated, gold is under pressure and retesting support at 4100. Our strategy remains focused on shorting on rallies. Today's resistance zone is at 4130–4135, with support at 4100–4110
This pullback is clearly different from the ones in July and September. Right now, it's not just about investors worrying about AI valuations there are also growing concerns over rate hikes, inflation, the midterm elections, and an economic recession. The headwinds are stronger, and the uncertainty is far greater
Yesterday we went long on SPY and QQQ and locked in our profits. Today, our strategy will be to short on rallies. Short SPY at 767–767.5, with a take-profit target at 763.5–764. Short QQQ at 716–717, with a take-profit target at 713–714
This was our prediction yesterday. Unfortunately, yesterday's rebound fell short of expectations, which means this correction is not over yet. Any intraday bounce today could be used by capital as an exit point. Therefore, we maintain our view from yesterday: unless a sharp rebound materializes, the market will remain weak. Do not bottom fish, and do not add to your positions
