[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

As a semi-full time trader for over 12 years now, I made the shift about 5 years ago from a sole focus on fundamentals to a very productive blend of real catalysts along with socially- driven data. I run a custom Scan of high traffic feeds on x & other stock focused platforms daily, tracking mentions across large, proven accounts. Most days (time allowing), I post a #trending #stocks #watchlist focused on real catalysts along with social consensus. Results have improved tremendously with this winning formula. DO your DD.

Game plan for today:

1. 📅 $MU into earnings tonight, small defined risk, press the winner after
2. 🟢 $IBM my best hold, quantum rotation working
3. ⏳ $NVDA $NBIS $MRVL shopping list, buying confirmation not hope
4. 🎰 Spec movers ($PLSM $WEN $FCEL) tiny size only

Tonight tells us if the AI dip was a buy or a warning. Good luck out there 🫡

Everything in the AI trade comes down to ONE report tonight: $MU. 🟢

After a brutal two day chip selloff, Micron reports after the close. It's bouncing 4% to $1,097 into the print. This number sets the tone for every AI and memory name into July.

Here's my full game plan 👇

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

The tape after two ugly days: stabilizing. 🟢

🟢 SPY $737, QQQ $719, both bouncing
🟢 Small caps ($IWM) actually leading, a healthy sign
📅 $MU earnings tonight is the real test

Two day AI selloff, now a breather. But nothing is confirmed until Micron reports. Stay nimble, keep cash ready.

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

My game plan today:

1. 🚫 Not chasing the $MU dip before earnings tomorrow
2. 🟢 $IBM is my one green long, quantum plus government money
3. 🟢 Hiding in $MSFT and $NFLX relative strength
4. ⏳ Shopping list ready ($NVDA $NBIS $MRVL) but waiting for the tape to stop bleeding

Down days separate traders from gamblers. Protect capital first. Good luck out there 🫡

This is the AI valuation scare everyone's been waiting for. 🔴

Korea's chip index crashed 10% overnight. $MU down 7%, $SNDK down 8%, $SMCI down 5%, Nasdaq futures off 2.5%. Memory cracked and it's dragging the whole AI trade.

Here's exactly what I'm watching, and what I'm NOT buying 👇

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

Why it's selling off, plainly: 🔴

🔴 Korea chip giants SK Hynix and Samsung crashed, Kospi -10%
🔴 Broadcom guided AI chips light, $AVGO -4%
🔴 The Fed went hawkish, so debt funded AI buildouts cost more
🔴 Nasdaq 100 about to shed a trillion in value

This isn't the end of AI. It's the first real valuation reset. Respect it. Don't catch the knife.

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

My best calls right now, ranked:

1. $MU into Wednesday earnings 🟢
2. $INTC turnaround, buy dips toward 125 🟢
3. $UMC foundry breakout 🟢

Watching: $CRWV and $NBIS to settle now that the rebalance is done.
Avoiding: $CDT up 28% on a quantum "pivot" with delinquent SEC filings. That's a trap, not a trade.

Good luck out there 🫡

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

Two weeks ago I flagged $NBIS and $MRVL ahead of today's index rebalance. 🟢

$NBIS ran from 250 to 288. $MRVL pushed to new highs. Both officially join the indexes this morning.

That catalyst is now priced in. So here's where I'm looking NEXT 👇

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

The setup this week:

🟢 SPY $746, QQQ $740, holding after the hawkish Fed
🟢 IWM back near its highs, so breadth is fine
📅 $MU earnings + $QCOM investor day Wednesday

The Fed went hawkish and the market shrugged it off. As long as semis lead, I stay long the leaders and respect my stops.

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

Speculative corner:

🟢 $HIVE +12%, the crypto miners are waking up with Bitcoin.
🟢 $IREN $60, +3%, bitcoin miner gone AI.
🟠 $RXT cooling off after the AMD pop, watching for a base.
⚡ $PLUG $2.71, hydrogen lottery ticket, tiny size only.

Big week: index rebalance Monday, Micron earnings Wednesday. Good luck out there 🫡

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

Know what you're trading. The macro just shifted. 🔴

Warsh's first Fed meeting was hawkish. They held at 3.50-3.75% but the dot plot now shows a possible HIKE this year, not a cut, and the inflation outlook got bumped to 3.6%.

Yields up, dollar up, gold down. Stocks dipped then bounced. Higher for longer is the new reality. I'm sticking to names with real catalysts, not hope.

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

The new Fed chair came in hawkish and stocks dropped yesterday. Today? The dip is getting bought and semis are leading the charge back. 🟢

$INTC ripping, $MRVL and $NBIS join the indexes Monday, $MU reports next week.

Full scan 👇

[The Catalyst Edge @zeatle2]

The whole semi complex is back in gear:

🟢 $MU $1,090, almost a new high, earnings June 24. Memory supercycle.
🟢 $ARM $435, +4%.
🟢 $ASML $1,919, the company everyone else depends on.
🟢 $NVDA $207, steady.
🟢 $TQQQ +4% if you want the leveraged Nasdaq bounce.

Buy the dips in this group. Every time.
