Both $SNOW and $UBER ended up being 100%+ plays. I did not hold for the entire run up.

I play what makes sense, never forcing anything I don’t have confidence in.

$META is set to invest big time in Ai, same goes for $TSLA.

Makes sense why chips are running today.

$TSLA not buying this at all.

[Strive @StriveOptions]

@marko_tominic @JesseCohenInv @Investingcom This drop wasn’t because of a bad earnings, but it can sure make things much worse.

[Strive @StriveOptions]

@TheTriggerTrade Haha the amount of people getting tricked by a satire post 🫠

[Strive @StriveOptions]

$TSLA terrible delivery numbers ⚠️

[Strive @StriveOptions]

Identify those advocating for $MSTR flow, and observe how swiftly it reversed. Popular "obvious" plays often backfire. Same with $TSLA last week when they released news of production slow down. Put buyers and people looking at “flow” got killed.

Exercise caution when noticing numerous individuals endorsing a "play"; it often results in the opposite outcome.

Dont get caught in the crowd! Flow is okay for longer dated plays, but should not be something you are using to determine day to day trades.

@Romeotpt @paladinbhutia Weren’t you looking for people to pay $100,000 for a class from you? Only to then say you didn’t have time for it. was that engagement farming? Or maybe everyone not taking you seriously?

[Strive @StriveOptions]

Guys, random screenshots of “flow” are not going to tell you what way the stock is going to move.

Do not buy a call or put based off of a furu on here posting flow! I’m starting to believe some use flow to validate their own poor position in the market. Don’t fall for it. It will not make or break you.

$SPY 3/18 Market Recap 📊

The market opened higher due to news of a partnership between $AAPL and $GOOGL, boosting tech stocks significantly at the start.

However, $SPY faced resistance at the trendline and declined, with semiconductor stocks showing weakness for another session. The $NVDA conference resulted in a sell-off, despite substantial flow in the $NVDA $1000 call. These calls are unlikely to reach their target unless Powell says good things during questioning after FOMC. It's hard to predict what Chairman Powell might say, the data has been bad, and Powell has indicated that any decisions on interest rate cuts will depend on economic data.

$SPY THE WEEK AHEAD 😱

Trend is broken! Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) did not meet expectations, it was pretty awful, which could hint at sustained high-interest rates. Despite this, Chairman Powell might be compelled to act, considering the nation's debt issue.

With the FOMC set for Wednesday, there should be a ton of movement. However, it's likely that the information revealed will reiterate what is already known, emphasizing that the Federal Reserve's decisions will hinge on economic data. Nevertheless, Powell might find himself in a position where he has to reduce interest rates some point soon, regardless of what the current data suggests.

Last week, bearishness creeped in, and there was no significant momentum in semiconductor stocks. It's worth noting how reliant the entire market is on artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors. Without continued rallies in these areas, we might revisit lower market levels. The market sentiment wasn't particularly optimistic either, with signs of bearish divergence beginning to show.

Ideally, a market adjustment to around $500 to close the island bull gap would provide a strong support level, offering an opportune moment for long positions on the rebound. Should this island gap close, it could reintroduce risk to the market.

$SPY $SPX The Week Ahead ⬇️

Lots of selling this past Friday but as long as the island bull gap remains, I am still leaning bullish. That being said play the market level to level, and don't go guns blazing Monday morning. If $SPY loses that lower trendline, not good! But again, there is a trend line and the island bull gap which will act as a big support.

CPI and PPI both this week 🚨
(Tuesday and Thursday)
Any surprisingly bad numbers will take us to that lower trendline.

This week I will be watching chips to the downside and $AAPL and $MSFT to the upside.

Also, will watch $TSLA, if the market continues downward, expect this to continue to drop hard.

Crypto and Crypto names continuing to pump. Will continue to play $COIN which correlates to $BTC.
