Instrumentation/Automation, newbie trader

[spacemonkey @spacemnke]

I spent 2 hours of my Saturday reviewing hundreds of charts. These are the 48 setups that stood out and what you should focus on this week.

The indices are stuck in a range.

Semiconductors continue to lead. Software is quietly improving. And $MU earnings may decide what happens next.

$SMH is sitting near all-time highs.
$MU reports Wednesday.
$HOOD continues to be one of the strongest charts on the board.

Here’s the watchlist from the recording:

$SPX: FOMC created volatility, but price ultimately went nowhere. The market is trapped between 7400 and 7532. Above 7532 opens a trend move higher. Below 7400 opens downside. Until then, this is a range-bound market looking for direction.

$QQQ: Sitting right below all-time highs. Holding gains well. Above 724 could trigger another leg higher.

$IWM: Looking strong. Higher low remains intact and the 9-day has reclaimed the 20-day. Trend remains bullish.

$SMH: One of the strongest areas of the market. Trading near all-time highs ahead of $MU earnings.

$BTC: Large bear flag remains in place. Still not showing enough strength.

$GDX: Pulling back below the 200-day. Hands off for now.

$VIX: Closed near the lows despite FOMC volatility. No major fear in the market right now.

$DXY: Holding above 100. Worth watching as a stronger dollar can pressure equities.

$NVDA: Reclaimed the 50-day and bounced nicely. Still choppy, but semis continue to support it.

$AMD: Holding near all-time highs. One of the stronger semiconductor charts heading into $MU earnings.

$MSFT: Still in a strong downtrend. No setup for now.

$AAPL: Clear bear flag. Below 295 could open a downside trade.

$GOOGL: Failed breakdown and now attempting to recover. Above 372 becomes interesting.

$META: Still trapped in a strong downtrend below 600. Harder chart.

$AMZN: Barely holding the 200-day. No clean setup.

$TSLA: Reclaimed 400 and continues to stabilize. Watching 415-416 closely.

$SPCX: Still trading around its IPO range. Holding the IPO high remains constructive. Above 225 could trigger a larger move.

$MU: The most important earnings report of the week. Could determine the next move for semiconductors and AI-related names.

$SNDK: One of the strongest charts in the market. Continues to grind higher with remarkable consistency.

$FCEL: Huge momentum move. Watching 25 closely.

$BE: Explosive strength. Watching a backtest of 323 or continuation above 330.

$PENG: Strong semiconductor momentum. Watching 69-70.

$ALAB: One of the strongest AI infrastructure names. Above 420 keeps momentum intact.

HIMS: Reclaimed the 20-day. Watching 35 hold.

$INTC: Strong reaction to the Apple chip headline. Above 135-136 becomes interesting.

$MRVL: Failed breakout during OPEX. Watching 321-323.

$TXN: Strong semiconductor chart. Watching continuation above 323.

$TSM: Trend remains extremely strong. Watching above 465.

$QCOM: Rangebound but improving. Watching 230.

GEV: Back above 1100. Watching 1125 for a test of highs.

SN: Quiet breakout. Watching continuation above 140-142.

$RDDT: Improving, but still needs to reclaim the 200-day around 187.

$SMTC: One of the cleaner consolidation patterns. Watching above 173.

$ARM: Strong recovery. Above 445 could trigger another leg higher.

ADI: Looking constructive. Above 440 opens new highs.

$AVGO: Trying to recover. Watching 415 closely.

OKTA: Hammer candle. Above 120 becomes interesting.

HNGE: Slow but steady uptrend. One of the cleaner charts out there.

MRNA: Strong week. Holding 60 keeps momentum intact.

FLR: One of the better industrial charts. Worth watching if rotation continues.

$CAT: Continues making new highs. Industrial strength remains impressive.

$HOOD: One of my favorite charts right now. Above 110-111 could trigger another powerful move.

XYZ: Quietly building. Watching 75-76.

$NBIS: Still one of my favorite software names. Above 300 could trigger a significant breakout.

$PANW: Software continues improving. 300 remains the key level.

$NFLX: Interesting risk/reward setup near 75 support.

$CRWD: Nice recovery. Above 700 opens 722 and potentially a gap fill higher.

$SNOW: Failed gap fill and turned higher. Holding 230 keeps the setup intact.

$DDOG: Another software name starting to improve.

$DELL: Needs to hold 400. Otherwise, hands off.

Overall theme:

The market is consolidating after FOMC and OPEX.

Semiconductors remain the leadership group, but $MU earnings on Wednesday could change everything.

Software is quietly improving, while many of the Magnificent 7 names continue to lag.

MU, SNDK, HOOD, NBIS, SMTC, ALAB, and CRWD are some of my favorite charts going into next week.

📺 $TSLA vs $403 — BREAKOUT BEFORE EARNINGS?

Please ❤️like and 🔁share with fellow Tesla traders/investors

A 2–3 month sell signal was triggered earlier when #Tesla broke below $435.24. That move played out perfectly, hitting the downside target at $340.61.

Since then, $TSLA has rebounded strongly and is now 2–3 weeks into a recovery phase, already past the halfway point back to $435.24.

Our current expectation: continued move toward $435.24 over the next few weeks BUT...

$403.84 is the critical resistance. This level has been rejected all week and has acted as a ceiling on momentum.

Daily close above $403.84 → strong signal for continuation, but below $403.84 → momentum stalls, short-term weakness likely.

*

So, if #TSLA closes above $403.84, you can expect a fast move to $435.24, likely by the end of next week.

At $435.24, expect resistance / potential top, which could lead to a pullback in May.

Bigger picture, $TSLA may trade within a wide range of $340 to $435 over the next few months.

*

Other scenarios:

1. If $TSLA fails at $403.84 but holds $382.03, expect choppy trading between $382 support and $403 resistance. This becomes a trader’s market (not a trend market).

2. If $TSLA breaks below $382.03 = trend shift. The upside target ($435) is delayed or invalidated in the short term. The downside targets become $364.76 (Fibonacci support, short-term bounce zone) and $340.61 (major support, likely within 1–2 weeks if weakness continues).

*

Trading levels:

– $403.84
Sell zone for short-term traders unless broken. Break + close above → bullish breakout trigger.

– $382.03
Key support, holding it = bullish bias intact, losing it = bearish acceleration.

– $364.76
Intermediate downside target (short-term).

– $340.61
Major long-term support

*

So, $TSLA is bullish, but conditional going into its earnings.

The entire setup hinges on two levels:
– Above $403.84 → momentum breakout → $435 fast
– Below $382.03 → breakdown → $340 retest

Right now, #TSLA is basically coiled between those two levels. The next decisive move will come from whichever side breaks first — and it’s likely to be sharp.

How to Trade $NVDA’s 9 Month Consolidation Breakout 👇

Nvidia has been consolidating under 202 the last 9 months and looks like it’s finally ready to breakout. IF $NVDA breaks 202 can see a push to 225 very quickly.

The Trade Plan 📈
$NVDA 5/15 210C
$NVDA above 202 with $SPX 7055 break
Take Profits at: 1/2 at 213, 1/4 217, All Out 225

The last time $NVDA consolidated for this long was May’23-Jan24. $NVDA then broke out of the 50 key rejection level in Jan’24 and ran for 6 months netting a 200% return JUST ON SHARES!

$SMH is also leading the market higher breaking ATH’s last week. If this trend continues $NVDA will be the next up to continue the rally.

Price Target by the end of 2026 is 300!

Buy zone: $30–$35 multi-year support before $50B grid backlog fully reprices.

Remember, these have 2000%–5000% potential just like OKLO. When it ran from $7 to $170. My favorite is IONQ first public quantum company to exceed $100M in annual revenue, guiding $225–$245M for 2026, with $3.3B in cash and zero debt. It's operating at a fundamentally different scale than the others, which is why it's already broken above $40.
