I spent 2 hours of my Saturday reviewing hundreds of charts. These are the setups that stood out and what you should focus on this week.

Small caps are leading. Semiconductors are trying to reclaim leadership. Most of the Magnificent 7 still look tired.

$IWM closed at new highs.
$SMTC may be one of the cleanest setups on the board.
$SPCX enters its first full week as a public company.

Here’s the watchlist and recording:

$SPX: Strong bounce off the 50-day. Reclaimed 7335-7340 and closed above the prior Friday low. Above 7450 opens a move toward 7520. Below 7400 puts pressure back on the market.

$QQQ: Back near the highs. Above 724 keeps momentum intact and opens the door to a retest of all-time highs.

$IWM: One of the strongest charts right now. Closed at new highs around 293 and continues to lead.

$SMH: Semiconductors bounced hard and remain a key leadership group. Watching for continuation higher.

$BTC: Attempting to form a bottom, but still no clear setup. Needs more time.

$MSFT: Failed after the move toward the 200-day. No compelling setup here for now.

$META: Broke below 600 and continues to look vulnerable. Could see further downside if buyers don't step in soon.

$AMZN: Still holding above the 200-day. Watching 243 and 250 for signs of strength.

$AAPL: Clear bear flag developing. Relative weakness remains compared to the broader market.

$NVDA: Struggling below key moving averages. No clean setup at the moment.

$TSLA: Better than most mega caps. Closed near highs Friday. Watching how it behaves alongside $SPCX.

$GOOGL: Lower highs and below key moving averages. Needs a catalyst to regain momentum.

$SPCX: First full week as a public company. Watching the IPO range closely. Above the highs could trigger momentum. Below 150 would be a warning sign.

$ROKU: Huge move on strategic acquisition headlines. Above 150 keeps momentum alive.

$ARM: One of the stronger semiconductor charts. Holding 380 and breaking 385 could trigger another leg higher.

$AXTI: Photonics remains interesting. Watching 104 for continuation.

$INTC: One of the strongest semis on Friday. Above 128 could trigger a meaningful breakout.

$WDC: Filled the gap and recovered well. Watching for continuation above 572.

$SNDK: Excellent relative strength. Needs to reclaim and hold above 2000.

$MU: Lagging behind SNDK. Watching 1000 and 1015 closely.

$AMD: Strong bounce. Holding 500 and reclaiming 510-520 could open a move toward highs.

$NBIS: One of the more interesting setups. Above 240 could trigger fresh momentum.

$QCOM: Double-bottom style setup near range lows. Looking for rotation back toward highs.

CAVA: Quiet recovery underway. Looks capable of making a run toward 100.

$WOLF: Strong relative strength. Above 26.5 remains interesting.

$RL: New highs. Watching 400 hold and continuation above 405.

$AMAT: Clean continuation setup. Watching prior-day highs.

$GS: Improving again. Above 1080 opens the door to 1100.

$JPM: One of the stronger financial setups. Watching 322.

$SMTC: One of my favorite charts right now. Watching 170-173 for a breakout.

$BAC: Quietly approaching new highs.

$CAT: Rotation candidate if money moves away from tech. Watching 920-930.

$C: New highs and one of the strongest bank charts.

$HLT / $MAR: Hotels continue to show strength and sit near highs.

$LRCX: Strong trend remains intact. Watching above 370.

$HOOD: Strong recovery. Watching 95-96 for continuation.

$GE: Constructive hammer candle. Looks capable of making another run at highs.

$MRVL: One of the better semiconductor setups. Above 300 could accelerate quickly.

$UNH: Quiet strength. Watching continuation toward 440-445.

SNOW: Pulling back after a strong run. Needs time to reset.

$RKLB: Space trade cooled significantly after the $SPCX IPO. Needs stabilization.

$ASTS: Similar story. Heavy pullback after a huge run into the IPO.

Overall theme:

The market bounced, but confirmation is still needed.

IWM, semiconductors, memory names, and financials are showing the best relative strength.

Most of the Magnificent 7 continue to lag and remain below key moving averages.

SMTC, INTC, SNDK, NBIS, MRVL, SPCX, and JPM are some of my favorite charts going into next week.

[Trader Josh @TraderJosh36]

Great way to start the month off

Traded $AVGO, $NVDA and $MSFT

Thanks to @twinsight_x @spacemnke and @BdortsTrading for some of the trade ideas

[spacemonkey @spacemnke]

You just woke up and futures are green 🚀 to start June. I did the research so you don’t have to!

Here’s what’s happening.

Dow futures 51,259, +182 (+0.36%).
S&P futures 7,612.5, +16.75 (+0.22%).
Nasdaq futures 30,474, +68.75 (+0.23%).
Russell futures 2,922.5, -1.8 (-0.06%).

This is a cautiously bullish tape.

Top stories today.

June is starting where May left off
The Nasdaq gained more than 8% in May.
The S&P added roughly 5%.

Iran remains the key macro backdrop

The market is pricing in a continued ceasefire and eventual agreement.

Trump continues to push for a permanent solution and an open Strait of Hormuz.

For now, traders are treating escalation as a lower-probability outcome.

Oil remains the swing factor

WTI is back near $89 and Brent above $92.

If oil continues higher, energy can regain leadership.

If oil stays contained, technology and growth should continue to lead.

This is a jobs week

The biggest catalyst is Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls report.

Before then we get ISM, JOLTS, and ADP.

Rates, Fed expectations, and growth stocks will all react to the labor data.

AI continues to dominate leadership

The strongest names this morning are concentrated around AI infrastructure, software, and semis.

That remains the market’s favorite theme.

Sector tape today.

$XLK tech, clear leadership.
$XLF financials, constructive.
$XLY discretionary, supported by risk-on sentiment.
$XLC communications, helped by megacaps.
$XLI industrials, steady.
$XLE energy, watching oil closely.
$XLV health care, neutral.
$XLU utilities, lagging in a risk-on tape.
$XLP staples, underperforming growth.
$XLB materials, tied to commodity moves.
$XLRE real estate, sensitive to jobs and rates.

Large / mega-cap groups to watch.

AI infrastructure
What matters: still the strongest theme in the market.
$NVDA $AVGO $MRVL $AMD $SMCI $LRCX $QCOM

Mega-cap leadership
What matters: these names determine whether indices can keep making new highs.
$MSFT $AAPL $AMZN $GOOGL $META

Software / cloud
What matters: rotation beyond semis would broaden the rally.
$ORCL $CRM $SNOW $NET $TEAM $ADBE

Energy hedge
What matters: protection if oil or Iran headlines heat up.
$XOM $OXY $CVX

Speculative beta
What matters: highest upside if risk appetite accelerates.
$COIN $MSTR $CRCL $HOOD $OKLO $SMR

Premarket standouts.

AI winners
$ARM +13.2%
$IBM +8.4%
$HPE +8.2%
$NOW +7.9%
$CRWV +6.2%
$TEAM +5.3%
$CRM +5.1%
$MU +4.9%
$ADBE +4.3%

What matters today.

This is a bullish tape, but leadership remains concentrated.

If AI, software, and semis continue attracting capital, the market can keep pushing higher.

If jobs data later this week comes in hotter than expected, rates become the story again.

Good luck 🖤

[Trader Josh @TraderJosh36]

Good morning ☀️

Many names gapping up which can make for harder trades.

Be patient and wait for the setups to form throughout the day.

TRADE IDEA OF THE WEEK: $CSCO

Will post the video in a bit on Instagram.

[spacemonkey @spacemnke]

I spent 2 hours of my Saturday reviewing hundreds of charts. These are the setups that stood out and what you should focus on this week.

Software is starting to wake up. Semiconductors are taking a breather. The next rotation may already be underway.

$MSFT finally broke out.
$NBIS is setting up near a key trigger.
$PANW $CRWD earnings could be one of the most important software reports of the week.

Here’s the watchlist and recording:

$SPX: Strong week overall. Thursday breakout above 7517 held. Friday was indecisive. Above 7600 opens continuation. Failure there could mean a pullback toward 7550–7500.

$QQQ: Similar setup to SPX. Still leading higher but extended from the 9-day. Above Friday highs keeps momentum intact.

$IWM: Still trapped in a range between 287 and 293. Less clear than SPX and QQQ. Watching for either a breakout or rotation into small caps.

$BTC: No trade for now. All major moving averages remain stacked bearishly. Needs reclaim of the 200-day around 80k.

$SMH: Momentum has slowed. Four straight days of consolidation. Software may be attracting capital away from semis short term.

$IGV: One of the most important charts right now. Closed above the 200-day for the first time since January. Holding 100 would be very bullish.

$AAPL: Continues to surprise. Every dip gets bought. 310 remains the key level. Below that opens a test of the 9-day around 306.

$MSFT: One of the strongest setups on the board. Broke above 433 and 442. Looking for continuation toward the 200-day near 458 and eventually gap-fill toward 480.

$NVDA: Ugly close Friday. Failed reclaim of the 9-day. Better opportunities elsewhere for now. Watching 200 below.

$GOOGL: Weak close. Could test the earnings gap near 365. Hands off until strength returns above 385.

$AMZN: Failed breakout attempt. Still above key moving averages. Above 275 opens ATHs and potentially 300.

$TSLA: Building a range. 450–453 is the key breakout area. Above that could trigger a move toward prior highs.

$META: Friday was a healthy backtest of the breakout. Above 633 then 645 opens gap-fill potential higher.

$AMD: Strong but consolidating. Range here would be healthy after the recent move.

$AVGO: Earnings next week. Looking constructive. Above 500 becomes interesting.

$SMCI: Strong sympathy move from $DELL earnings. Watching to see if momentum can continue.

$QCOM: Failed breakout Friday. Give it time. Watching for renewed strength early in the month.

$ARM: One of the strongest semis. Above 356 keeps the trend intact.

$INTC: Failed multiple breakout attempts at 125. Consolidation remains constructive.

$MU: Strong finish Friday. Holding 960 and reclaiming 980 could open the path toward 1000.

$SNDK: Constructive close. Watching 1700 closely.

$DELL: Huge earnings move. Now trading inside an earnings range. Break above 430 opens more upside.

$NOW: Continues to show strong relative strength. Above 126 could open 150.

$IBM: Strong breakout. Watching above 300.

$ORCL: Massive momentum shift. Broke the 200-day and exploded higher. One of the stronger enterprise software names right now.

$PLTR: Improving. Watching for reclaim and hold above the 200-day.

$IREN: Large flag pattern. Above 76–77 could trigger a move toward highs.

$ZS: Ugly earnings reaction but trying to recover.

$CRWD: Earnings this week. Strong run into the report.

$NBIS: One of my favorite setups. Above 233–234 could trigger a significant move.

$PANW: Earnings this week. Looking extremely strong.

$NET: Recovering sharply after a terrible earnings reaction. Short covering continues.

$RDDT: Looking better. Momentum name worth watching.

$DDOG: One of the strongest software charts. Earnings gap never filled. Trend remains intact.

$FSLR: Solar leadership continues. Above 260 could open 300.

$ENPH: Vertical momentum. Watching for continuation.

$LITE: Still under pressure. Needs time.

$AXTI: Similar to LITE. Momentum has cooled.

Overall theme:

Software is showing the strongest improvement in relative strength.

Semiconductors are consolidating after a huge run.

Individual names continue to offer better opportunities than the indices.

$MSFT, $NBIS, $PANW, $ORCL, and $NET are some of my favorite charts going into next week.
