January 8th, 2026 Live Trading Room Market Recap & Trades - (Samantha and AI Briefing notes)

TRADE UPDATES

I’m BACK! I mean I never left but I am finally starting to feel better!!
If you attended my trading room past few days, my apologies for my lethargy.
I think my market read was still on point, but just no juice.
Listen to TODAY’S session. All bettah!
And we had a very successful session at that.

Swing Shorts in Tech Still Solid

Here are the ones still working as written up yesterday:

• AMD - nice follow through to my 203.55 target.

• META - needs to break 335 to short further into 616.70

• ORCL - rejected at 198 monthly resistance looks ready to retest break of 189 on way to 179.55 with potential overshoot to 174.

• CSCO - tagged my target of 74.21 but now can see 72.55 which is nice weekly support

• AVGO - warned past few weeks post EPS on break below 374.23 this short is not done until it fills 308.78. Tagged 331.42 short level today so just needs break of 330 to see 317.35 before 308.78 - 307

• SPOT - the other one I’ve said has been following NFLX for months & just needed time. This week it was rejected perfectly at 608 where I warned a revisit to 559 was the big test for breakdown into stated 506.47 target near 100W. It is working great.

New Tech Chase Shorts (likely turn swing shorts next few weeks)

• PLTR - was fab chase short today from open when I said “keep below 185.91 on way to 178.49 (hit) before breaking and revisiting 171.53 then 169.40 - likely this week. I still have 161.15 as target with 148 overshoot (before or after earnings)

• SNDK, MU, WDC, STX - were all great chase shorts today!

• MU - has 315.60 before 312.43

• SNDK - has 274.56 in view

• EWY, KORU - reversing
