$TSM short-term structure is still bullish. ๐จ๐
On the 15-minute chart, TSMC completed a strong breakout after consolidating around the 407โ421 area.
The stock pushed sharply higher and reached the 443 area, showing strong short-term buying pressure.
Right now, $TSM is trading near the upper range around 440, close to the recent high.
That means momentum is still strong, but the price is already near a short-term high, so I would not chase aggressively here.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone: 421
This is the first pullback area I would watch after the breakout.
Key support: 407
As long as $TSM holds above 407, the short-term bullish structure remains intact.
If $TSM breaks and holds above 443, the next upside move could open.
But if price fails near 443, I would watch for a pullback toward 421 first.
My view is simple:
Trend is strong.
Momentum is bullish.
Buyers are still in control.
But the price is already near the high.
I would rather wait for a clean pullback near support than chase strength at the top. ๐๐
Not financial advice.
$AVGO short-term structure is still bullish. ๐จ๐
On the 15-minute chart, Broadcom has completed a strong breakout after consolidating around the 416โ424 area.
The stock pushed through 437, 442, and 448, then reached a high near 460.58.
This shows strong short-term buying pressure.
Right now, $AVGO is consolidating near the upper range around 455, which means bulls are still in control, but the price is already close to the short-term high.
I would not chase aggressively at 455โ460.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone: 442โ443
This is the pullback area I would watch for a better risk/reward entry.
Key support: 431โ432
As long as $AVGO holds above this area, the short-term bullish structure remains intact.
If $AVGO breaks and holds above 460, the next upside move could open.
But if price fails near 460, I would watch for a pullback toward 442.
My view is simple:
Trend is strong.
Momentum is bullish.
But the price is near the high.
I would rather wait for a clean pullback than chase strength at the top. ๐๐

$TSM is still one of the biggest AI chip stocks out there. ๐จ๐
Fundamentally, TSMC isn't just a chip maker.
It's the world's most important foundry, making top-tier chips for $NVDA, $AAPL, $AMD, $AVGO and tons of other AI and semiconductor giants.
In this AI era, that's hugeโbecause nearly every major AI chip still needs advanced manufacturing.
GPUs.
Custom AI chips.
Apple Silicon.
High-performance computing chips.
Data center processors.
A big chunk of that whole ecosystem relies on TSMC.
The latest numbers show just how strong demand is.
TSMC reported Q1 2026 revenue of $35.90B, up 40.6% year over year. Net income and diluted EPS both jumped 58.3% YoY, with gross margin at 66.2% and operating margin at 58.1%. 3nm made up 25% of wafer revenue, highlighting strong demand for advanced nodes. (ๅฐ็งฏ็ต)
This is why $TSM matters so much.
It's behind the entire AI hardware cycle.
$NVDA might design the GPUs.
$AAPL might design Apple Silicon.
$AMD and $AVGO might design AI and custom chips.
But TSMC is the one making many of the most advanced chips.
That makes $TSM one of the cleanest plays for the long-term AI semiconductor supply chain.
Now look at the chart.
Major trend: $TSM is still in a clear bullish structure. The stock bounced hard from around 310, broke through several key levels, and hit a new high near 431.
Short term: It's now consolidating near highs. Momentum is still strong, but after a move like this, I wouldn't chase aggressively at these elevated levels.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone 1: 386
This is the first dip area I'd watch.
Buy zone 2: 358โ359
This is the deeper buy zone and also the key structural support.
Key support: 358โ359
If $TSM stays above 358โ359, the bullish structure holds.
If the daily or weekly candle closes below 358, I'd cut risk and wait for a deeper reset toward 338โ340 before reassessing.
My take is simple:
Strong AI demand.
Strong advanced-node leadership.
Strong margin profile.
Strong semiconductor supply-chain position.
Strong bullish chart structure.
But even great stocks need good entry points.
I'd rather buy weakness near support than chase after a big run. ๐๐
Not financial advice.
@DavidKWilliams They've basically cornered the high-end fab market. Interesting to see if geopolitics starts throwing more wrenches in the supply chain.
$AAPL is still one of the strongest platform stocks out there. ๐จ๐
At its core, Apple isn't just about iPhones anymore.
They've got the iPhone, iOS, App Store, Apple Pay, Services, Apple Silicon, privacy, identity, payments, and a super loyal customer base.
In the AI world, the real winners might not be the ones with the best models.
They could be the platforms that control where users interact.
And that's exactly where $AAPL is.
Apple's last quarter shows the core business is still solid. Revenue hit $111.2B, up 17% from last year, and diluted EPS grew 22% to $2.01. They also set March quarter records for total revenue, iPhone revenue, EPS, and all-time high for Services.
Services is a big deal.
It brings in high-margin recurring money from the App Store, subscriptions, payments, cloud, music, TV, and more.
Now the bigger story is AI.
If Apple can turn Siri into a full systemwide AI assistant in iOS, they could own the most valuable AI entry point:
The iPhone.
That means AI search, apps, payments, workflow, personal stuff, identity, and trust all flowing through Apple's ecosystem.
That's why $AAPL is still a long-term winner.
Now look at the chart.
Major trend: $AAPL is clearly bullish. It broke above the old high near 288, pushed to a new high around 315, and is holding near the top.
Short term: Recent candles are mostly green, with just small red dips in between. No clear long breakdown yet, so bulls are still in charge.
The recent pullbacks are shallow too. Buyers step in fast, and it looks like healthy consolidation in an uptrend, not a reversal.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone 1: 289
That's where I'd first look for a dip.
Buy zone 2: 273
That's a deeper buy spot and key support.
Key support: 273
If $AAPL stays above 273, the bullish structure holds.
If a daily or weekly candle closes below 273, I'd cut risk and wait for a reset toward 261โ262 before rethinking.
My take:
Strong ecosystem.
Strong Services revenue.
Strong iPhone base.
Strong AI potential.
Strong bullish chart.
But even great companies need good entry points.
I'd rather buy weakness near support than chase after a big move. ๐๐

Not financial advice.
Just my watchlist and key levels. ๐๐ฅ
๐จ People need to stop thinking of $TSM as just a chip foundry.
Price right now: $418.45
Market cap: around $10.85T.
TSMCโs Q1 2026 revenue came in at $35.9B, up 40.6% from last year.
Gross margin was 66.2%, operating margin hit 58.1%, and net margin landed at 50.5%.
Thatโs not typical for a manufacturing biz.
Thatโs platform-level pricing power.
The market keeps treating $TSM like a simple factory.
Thatโs a mistake.
TSMC is the manufacturing foundation of the AI economy.
$NVDA can design AI GPUs.
$AMD can design AI accelerators.
$AAPL can design custom silicon.
$AVGO can design custom AI chips.
But the most advanced chips still need someone to make them.
And thatโs where TSMC controls the door.
The real logic is straightforward:
AI needs chips.
Advanced chips need leading-edge nodes.
Leading-edge nodes need TSMC.
In Q1 2026, 3nm made up 25% of wafer revenue, 5nm was 36%, and 7nm was 13%. Advanced nodes totaled 74% of wafer revenue.
Thatโs why TSMC isnโt a normal semiconductor stock.
Itโs the bedrock under the whole AI hardware stack.
And it gets bigger:
$NVDA + $TSM are bringing AI inside fabs โ using it for defect checks, lithography speed-ups, process simulations, and optimizing fab operations.
So AI isnโt just increasing demand for TSMC chips.
AI is also making TSMC better at making those chips.
Thatโs a powerful loop.
More AI demand โ more advanced chips โ more TSMC capacity needed โ AI boosts fab efficiency โ TSMC becomes even tougher to replace.
This isnโt just a foundry story.
Itโs an AI infrastructure story.
Right now, Iโm watching:
$TSM โ advanced chip manufacturing backbone
$NVDA โ AI compute leader
$ASML โ EUV lithography near-monopoly
$AVGO โ custom AI chips + networking
$MU โ AI memory / HBM demand
But Iโm not blindly chasing green candles here.
The better move is simple:
Wait for pullbacks.
Watch support levels.
Buy the companies that own the infrastructure layer.
If AI is the new industrial revolution, then $TSM is one of the factories building the machines behind it.
Donโt chase hype.
Buy the backbone when the market brings fear. ๐
$MRVL is becoming one of the most important AI infrastructure names in the market. ๐จ๐
Fundamentally, Marvell is no longer just a traditional semiconductor company.
It is positioned directly inside the AI data center buildout, especially in AI networking, optical interconnects, custom silicon, and high-speed data movement.
This matters because the AI trade is not only about GPUs.
Large AI clusters need GPUs to compute, but they also need fast networking to move data between GPUs, servers, racks, and data centers.
That is where $MRVL becomes important.
The companyโs latest earnings showed strong AI momentum, with data center revenue becoming the main growth engine. Management also pointed to exceptional AI-related bookings and raised future revenue expectations.
Now look at the chart.
Major trend: $MRVL has clearly shifted into a strong bullish weekly structure. The stock broke out from a long consolidation zone and pushed toward the 218 area. I do not see a clear topping or reversal signal yet.
Short term: The stock is now consolidating near new highs after a massive move higher. Bullish momentum is still present, but the current price is elevated, so I would not chase aggressively here.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone 1: 163โ164
This is the first pullback area I would watch.
Buy zone 2: 129โ130
This is the deeper buy zone and also the most important weekly support level.
Key support: 129โ130
If $MRVL holds above 129โ130, the bigger bullish structure remains intact.
If the weekly candle closes below 129, I would reduce risk and wait for a deeper reset toward 105โ106 before reassessing.
My view is simple:
Strong AI networking story.
Strong data center demand.
Strong custom chip opportunity.
Strong weekly trend.
But even great companies need good entry points.
I would rather buy weakness near support than chase after a major move. ๐๐
Not financial advice.
$AVGO is still one of the top AI infrastructure plays besides Nvidia. ๐จ๐
Broadcom isn't just a regular chip company anymore.
It's sitting right in the middle of two critical parts of AI data centers:
Custom AI chips.
AI networking.
This matters because AI infrastructure isn't just about GPUs now.
Big hyperscalers need custom chips, faster networking, smoother data flow, Ethernet switching, and full data center connections.
That's exactly where $AVGO fits.
Broadcom's latest quarter showed strong AI momentum, with AI revenue up over 100% year over year, thanks to custom accelerators and networking demand.
$NVDA might own the GPU space, but $AVGO is becoming a big player in custom silicon and AI networking.
Take a look at the chart now.
Long-term trend: $AVGO is still in a clear bullish pattern on the weekly chart. I don't see any obvious top or reversal signal yet. As long as the key support at 350โ351 holds on a weekly close, the bigger trend stays bullish.
Short-term: The stock is consolidating near new highs. Bullish momentum is still there. If $AVGO can break and stay above the 450 previous high, it could trigger a new upward move. But if the breakout fails, I'd watch for a pullback to 388โ390 or 350โ351 support.
Here's my simple plan:
Buy zone 1: 388โ390
This is the first dip area I'd watch.
Buy zone 2: 350โ351
This is the deeper entry point and the most important weekly support level.
Key support: 350โ351
If $AVGO stays above 350โ351, the larger bullish trend stays intact.
If the weekly candle closes under 350, I'd cut risk and wait for a deeper drop to 322 before rethinking.
My take is simple:
Strong AI revenue.
Strong custom chip demand.
Strong AI networking exposure.
Strong weekly trend.
But even great companies need good entry points.
I'd rather buy the dip near support than chase a big rally. ๐๐
Not financial advice.
$NVDA remains the most important AI infrastructure stock in the market. ๐จ๐
Fundamentally, Nvidia is no longer just a GPU company.
It has become the platform layer of the AI economy.
Nvidia controls the most important parts of the AI compute stack: GPUs, CUDA, AI networking, NVLink, Blackwell, Vera Rubin, data center systems, robotics, autonomous driving, and Physical AI.
That matters because AI does not run on hype.
AI runs on compute.
And right now, Nvidia is still the company sitting at the center of that compute demand.
The latest numbers prove it.
Nvidia reported record Q1 FY2027 revenue of $81.6B, up 85% year over year.
Data Center revenue reached $75.2B, up 92% year over year.
Data Center compute revenue was $60.4B, up 77% year over year.
Data Center networking revenue was $14.8B, up 199% year over year.
The key point is simple:
The AI story is no longer only about GPUs.
Networking is becoming one of the fastest-growing parts of Nvidiaโs business.
As AI clusters get larger, GPUs need to communicate faster.
That means more demand for NVLink, Spectrum-X, InfiniBand, Ethernet, optics, and full AI data center infrastructure.
This is why $NVDA is different from most semiconductor companies.
Most chip companies sell components.
Nvidia sells the full AI infrastructure platform.
But the chart matters too.
From the weekly chart, $NVDA remains in a bullish structure, but after a strong move higher, the stock is now pulling back from the upper range.
Current price is around 211, and the first support area is 208โ211.
If $NVDA holds above this zone, the pullback still looks healthy.
My plan is simple:
Buy zone 1: 208โ211
This is the first support area I would watch.
Buy zone 2: 191โ192
This is the deeper buy zone and also the most important weekly support level.
Key support: 191โ192
If $NVDA holds above 191โ192, the bigger bullish structure remains intact.
If the weekly candle closes below 191, I would reduce risk and wait for a deeper reset toward 178โ180 before reassessing.
My view is simple:
$NVDA is still the king of AI infrastructure.
But even the best company in the market needs good entry points.
I would rather buy weakness near support than chase after a major move.
Strong fundamentals.
Record AI revenue.
Massive data center demand.
Exploding networking growth.
Bullish weekly structure.
But risk management always comes first. ๐๐
Not financial advice.
$GOOGL is still one of the biggest AI platform stocks out there. ๐จ๐
When you look at the fundamentals, Google isn't just a search engine anymore.
It runs Search, YouTube, Android, Google Cloud, Gemini, ad distribution, and has one of the most valuable data networks globally.
In the AI world, that matters because real power sits with platforms that control what users want, traffic, cloud systems, personal data, and how money is made.
Alphabet's latest earnings already showed this.
Revenue jumped 22% year over year to $109.9B.
Google Services went up 16% to $89.6B.
Search & Other climbed 19%.
YouTube ads rose 11%.
Google Cloud revenue shot up 63% to $20.0B.
Operating income increased 30%, with margins hitting 36.1%.
Google Cloud is the big part of the $GOOGL re-rating story.
It hit $20B in revenue for the first time, and backlog nearly doubled from last quarter to over $460B.
That gives $GOOGL way better visibility on future enterprise AI and cloud demand.
That's why I still think $GOOGL is a long-term AI platform winner.
But the chart matters too.
Looking at the weekly chart, $GOOGL is still in a bullish setup.
Still, after such a big run-up, I wouldn't chase it at these high levels.
My plan is simple:
First buy zone: 351โ360
That's the first dip I'm watching.
Second buy zone: 323
That's the deeper entry and also the most important weekly support.
Key support: 323
If $GOOGL stays above 323, the bullish trend stays solid.
If the weekly candle closes under 323, I'd cut risk and wait for a deeper drop toward 300 before rechecking.
My view is simple:
$GOOGL is a top company with a strong AI story.
But even great companies need good entry points.
I'd rather buy on weakness near support than chase after a big move.
Strong fundamentals.
Strong AI positioning.
Strong weekly trend.
But risk management always comes first. ๐๐
