🚀 $SPX — Bulls Still Control the Tape
Friday finished strong:
$SPX 7,722.72 +0.73%
solana:nasd9ZCaNtC3wZ4G7updmA48VGmcgyNnXsYQ6cRLkjP +1.19%
$DJI +0.49%
The big catalyst was a much softer jobs report: only 29K jobs added in September.
For Monday, 7,700 is my first SPX line in the sand. Hold above it and I’m looking for continuation toward the highs. Lose it and I’ll wait for a cleaner reset.
I’m still favoring strength over prediction.

🔥 $SOXL — $170 IS THE NEXT BATTLE
SOXL closed at $163.71 (+6.52%) after reaching an intraday high of $169.75.
Price action:
🟢 $160-$162 — Immediate support
🔵 $165-$166 — Pivot zone
🔥 $170 — Breakout trigger
🚀 $175-$180 — Next target zone
My view:
The breakout above the recent range is still intact. A clean move through $170 could open another leg toward $175-$180.

🔥 $SPCX — $160 IS THE NEXT BATTLE
SPCX closed at $158.96 (+7.35%) and held near $159 after hours.
Price action:
🟢 $156-$157 — Key support
🔵 $160 — Breakout pivot
🔥 $168 — Next resistance
🚀 $170-$172 — Major target zone
My view:
The breakout above $156-$157 looks constructive. A clean hold above $160 could quickly bring the prior high zone back into play.

🔥 Market Recap — AI Leads While Investors Reprice Fed Risk
Friday’s market reaction was a reminder: bad economic data doesn’t always mean bad news for stocks.
The September jobs report came in much weaker than expected, reducing pressure for additional Fed tightening and sending money back into growth assets. AP News
📈 solana:nasd9ZCaNtC3wZ4G7updmA48VGmcgyNnXsYQ6cRLkjP +1.2%
📈 $SPX +0.7%
📈 $DJI +0.5%
The leaders were clear:
🔥 $NVDA pushed higher as AI momentum continued.
🚗 $TSLA jumped after stronger-than-expected Q3 deliveries.
💻 Semiconductors outperformed as investors stayed focused on AI infrastructure. Barron's
My focus for next week:
✅ Watch AI leaders for continuation
✅ Watch $SPX 7,700 as key support
✅ Watch Treasury yields — higher rates remain the biggest risk
The market is still rewarding companies connected to AI growth.
Follow the strength. Manage the risk. 📊

Taking a little time away from the screens today to reflect on the market, the lessons learned, and the importance of staying disciplined.
Investing is not just about finding the next opportunity — it’s about patience, continuous learning, and managing risk through every market cycle.
After years of following the markets, one thing remains true: consistency beats emotion.
Enjoy the weekend, recharge, and come back ready for the opportunities ahead. 🌆
Wishing everyone a great Saturday!

🔥 $META — $742 IS THE NEXT BATTLE
META closed at $728.08 (+0.30%) after trading as high as $741.58.
Price action:
🟢 $725-$730 — Key support
🔵 $740-$742 — Breakout zone
🔥 $750-$760 — Next resistance
🚀 $779-$780 — Major target
My view:
The uptrend remains intact, but bulls still need volume above $742. A clean breakout could reopen the path toward the recent highs.

🚨 $WDC — TOSHIBA NEWS TRIGGERS A 10% DROP
WDC closed at $415.29 (-10.22%) after plunging to $396.57 as Toshiba’s reported HDD expansion rattled the storage trade.
Price action:
🟢 $396-$405 — Critical support
🔵 $415-$420 — Recovery pivot
🔥 $428 — First resistance
🚀 $450-$465 — Major reclaim zone
My view:
The daily chart took real damage today. Reclaiming $428 would be the first sign that buyers are regaining control.

⚡ $SPCX — MOMENTUM IS STILL BUILDING
SPCX is up more than 7% intraday, with price holding near the session high and above the $156.69 average price.
Momentum map:
📈 $157 — First defense
🔥 $160 — Confirmation level
🎯 $164-$168 — Next targets
🚀 $172 — Major breakout test
My view:
Buyers still control the trend. As long as $156-$157 holds, the setup remains positioned for another push higher.

⚡ $STX — BUYERS ARE FIGHTING BACK
STX crashed to $791.75 before recovering toward $840, a roughly 6% rebound from today’s low despite the stock remaining down double digits.
Momentum map:
📈 $815-$823 — First defense
🛡️ $790-$800 — Critical support
🔥 $850 — Recovery trigger
🎯 $880-$900 — Next test
My view:
The daily chart took serious damage, but the intraday recovery is worth watching. Holding $800 keeps a potential oversold bounce alive.

A little screen time, a little coffee, and a lot of market watching. ☕📈
Not every day has to be about chasing the next trade. Sometimes it’s better to sit back, watch the price action, review the setups, and let the market come to you.
One thing trading has taught me over the years: patience is a position too.
Enjoying the view, keeping an eye on the markets, and sticking to the process.
Hope everyone’s having a great day! 🙌
What’s on your watchlist today?

⚡ $SOXL — SEMIS ARE SURGING
SOXL is up nearly 9% intraday, with volume ratio at 1.60 and more than 42M shares traded.
Momentum map:
📈 $165 — First defense
🔥 $170 — Breakout trigger
🎯 $175 — First target
🚀 $180 — Major test
My view:
This is strong price-and-volume confirmation. As long as $165 holds, momentum remains firmly in the bulls’ hands.

$SOXL — SEMICONDUCTOR MOMENTUM IS BACK 🚀
Yesterday:
Open: $148.56
High: $156.71
Low: $144.31
Close: $153.69 (+3.94%)
Now SOXL is around $160.10 premarket.
The catalyst is bigger than one stock: Micron’s results reinforced the AI-memory demand story, while the broader semiconductor index rallied after the report. MarketWatch
Technically, I’m watching $155–157 as the first support zone. Hold it and the setup remains constructive toward $162 → $170.
Lose $150 and I become much more cautious.

🔥 My $10K → $1,000,000 Trading Challenge
I’m officially taking on one of my biggest trading challenges yet: turning a $10K account into $1M.

My focus every day:
📈 Short-term opportunities
⚡ Market volatility
🎯 Price action & momentum
🛡️ Risk management
📊 Consistent execution
I’ll be sharing the journey — the progress, the setups, the lessons, and the difficult days too.
$10K is the starting line. $1M is the goal.
No shortcuts. One trade at a time. 🔥
Follow @RickBennettTT and watch the journey unfold.

⚡ $SPCX — VOLUME IS CONFIRMING THE MOVE
SPCX is up nearly 6% intraday, trading near its session high with a 4.40 volume ratio and strong early momentum.
Momentum map:
📈 $153 — First defense
🔥 $157 — Confirmation level
🎯 $160 — Near-term target
🚀 $165-$170 — Momentum zone
My view:
This isn’t just a low-volume bounce. If buyers keep defending $150-$153, momentum remains positioned for another breakout attempt.

🚗 $TSLA — DELIVERIES BEAT THE STREET
Tesla reported 486,532 Q3 deliveries, well above the company-compiled analyst consensus of 461,974, helping TSLA push more than 4% higher intraday. 特斯拉投资者关系
Market levels:
🟢 $360 — Momentum support
🔵 $368-$370 — Pivot zone
🔥 $380-$385 — Resistance
🚀 $400 — Psychological target
My view:
The delivery beat gives bulls a fresh catalyst. Now I want to see whether price can turn $370 into support.

That’s a fair point. I agree that the midterm outcome could affect regulation, taxes, and overall risk sentiment, particularly for high-beta technology stocks. Your downside scenario for SNDK is certainly worth stress-testing.

At the same time, I’d weigh that political risk against SNDK’s underlying fundamentals—NAND pricing, AI-driven data-center storage demand, supply discipline, margins, and management guidance. Those factors will help determine whether any politically driven selloff becomes a temporary reset or a deeper trend reversal.

We regularly discuss both bullish and bearish scenarios like this in our free group. I think your perspective would add real value, and you’d be very welcome to join us and continue the discussion there.

⚡ $SNDK — MOMENTUM IS STILL ALIVE
SNDK pushed above $1,800 premarket before pulling back toward $1,776, keeping the recent higher-low structure intact.
Momentum map:
📈 $1,760 — First defense
🔥 $1,800 — Momentum pivot
🚀 $1,850 — First target
🎯 $1,900 — Major test
My view:
The pullback has not broken the trend yet. As long as buyers defend $1,750-$1,760, momentum still favors another attempt at the highs.

@forsythhomes I’m still bullish on $MU overall — AI-driven HBM and data-center memory demand remain strong, but after this massive run, I’m watching the $1,100–$1,110 breakout area closely and would rather wait for confirmation than chase the price.

🚀 $MU — RECORD EARNINGS + AI MEMORY DEMAND
Micron just reported record fiscal Q4 revenue of $54.23B with adjusted EPS of $33.42 as AI-driven memory demand continues to reshape the business. 美国证券交易委员会
MU closed at $1,097.39 (+3.03%).
Technical roadmap:
$1,100 → $1,120 → $1,150-$1,160 → $1,200
My view: the fundamental catalyst is strong. Now I want the chart to confirm it with a sustained move above $1,100-$1,120.

⚡ $QQQ — BUYERS DEFENDED THE DIP
Today’s move:
Open: $742.51
High: $744.67
Low: $736.25
Close: $742.03
The important signal:
QQQ tested support → buyers stepped in → close returned above the average price.
My view:
The market is showing resilience near record highs. The next question is simple:
Can QQQ reclaim $745 and break $750?
