Morning setup: cooler PCE, stronger GDP. August core PCE 3.0% YoY; Q2 GDP revised to 2.2%. S&P futures +0.4%, Nasdaq-100 +0.3%, 10Y down to ~5.23%. Watch rates first; $BA +2% premarket and $MU reports after close.

[badablingg @badablingg]

$KMX is today’s earnings lesson: revenue +19.5%, unit sales +14.7%, EPS $1.16. But gross profit per retail vehicle fell.
Headline beat �� complete thesis.

Watch whether investors reward volume growth—or punish margin pressure.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Friday closed strong:

Dow +0.9%
S&P +0.5%
Nasdaq +0.5%

Monday brought oil + yields back into focus.

That’s why process beats headlines: track macro, leadership, levels + risk together.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Sunday setup: Nasdaq +0.4% Friday, but the 10Y finished near 5%. Semis stood out, with the SOX +2.8%.

This week: Fed speakers Tue/Wed + $COST earnings Thu.

Watch leadership, not just the index.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Why yields matter for growth stocks:

When the 10Y rises, future cash flows are discounted at a higher rate. That can pressure high-multiple tech even when earnings are solid.

Rates don’t decide every trade—but they change the backdrop.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Risk is still elevated. The 10Y touched 5.04% this morning, oil remains above $100, and the Fed begins its 2-day meeting today.

Watch $NVDA: 212.77 resistance / 208.93 support.

Don’t predict the open. Trade the reaction.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Today’s key tell: can $NVDA reclaim Friday’s 222 high while $CRWD holds strength?

If chips stay weak but cyber/software holds up, that’s real sector rotation—not just index noise.

Follow relative strength.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Risk-off open: Nasdaq ~-1.2%, S&P 500 ~-0.8%. Oil is surging and chips are under pressure.

Watch $NVDA: Fri range 218.15–222.00.
$CRWD/$PANW showing relative strength.
Fed Wednesday.

Stay selective.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Sunday setup:

Friday bounced, but the week still finished red.

Monday watch:
$AAPL 336.22 / 326.30
$TSM 435.37 / 428.90
$ORCL 165.99 / 149.84

Big event this week: Fed Wednesday.

Levels > headlines.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Options lesson: earnings gaps change the risk/reward fast.

A stock can jump 7% overnight, but buying calls AFTER the move means paying elevated premium with less upside.

Better question:
Where is support?
Where is invalidation?
What is my risk?

Price first. Option second.

[badablingg @badablingg]

CPI is in: headline +0.4% MoM / +3.4% YoY. Core: +0.3% / +2.4%.

$ORCL is the stock to watch after earnings: cloud infrastructure revenue +121%, shares ~6–7% higher premarket.

Key chart: 159.24 breakout / 152.52 support.

Big Friday ahead.

[badablingg @badablingg]

10:30 check: ignore the opening noise and watch yesterday’s range.

$NVDA >226.18 = reclaim attempt
$NVDA <223.46 = sellers still in control
$ORCL >165.15 = strength into earnings
$ORCL <160.36 = caution

Trade the level, not the headline.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Hot PPI just changed the morning setup.

Aug PPI: +0.4% MoM / +5.4% YoY.
10Y ~4.9%, WTI ~$100.

Watch:
$NVDA 223.46 / 226.18
$AVGO 359.25 / 368.01
$ORCL 160.36 / 165.15

[badablingg @badablingg]

Chart lesson: yesterday’s high is resistance until proven otherwise.

A breakout needs price + volume + a hold above the level. A quick push through resistance that falls back below it is often a failed breakout—not confirmation.

Let the candle finish.

[badablingg @badablingg]

watch relative strength

$QCOM >183.49 = breakout attempt
$AAPL >320.70 = reclaim ahead of today’s product event
$ORCL holding 161–163 keeps tomorrow’s earnings setup intact

[badablingg @badablingg]

Oil is the market’s first test today: Brent is above $100 and the 10Y is near 4.81% as futures point lower.

Watch:
$QCOM 183.49 / 172.04
$AAPL 320.70 / 314.90
$ORCL 170.70 / 161.16

10AM ET: BLS employer-cost data.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Today’s edge wasn’t predicting the index — it was knowing your levels before the bell.
$ORCL 159.70
$INTC 95.94
$BE 253.30
Then let price prove or invalidate the setup.
That’s how we approach markets inside Market Masters: preparation > prediction.

https://t.co/35vehlq8rA

[badablingg @badablingg]

Tuesday setup: oil is back near $94 and futures are soft.

Stocks in play:
$ORCL +~4% premarket — Fri high $159.70
$INTC +~4% — Fri high $95.94
$BE +~6% on S&P 500 inclusion — Fri high $253.30

Watch whether the gaps hold after the open.

[badablingg @badablingg]

Friday’s relative-strength board:

$SNDK +11.90%
$ALAB +9.75%
$KLAC +7.32%
$NVDA +0.84%

The S&P 500 fell 0.38%.

When the market is weak but a group stays strong, that’s where I look first when trading resumes.

Market Masters = preparation over prediction.
