Key Trading Themes:

The three largest companies IN THE WORLD closed at new all-time-highs today: NVDA, AAPL, MSFT

  • NVDA was the ‘easy’ chase with that gap up on Monday and Tuesday event with $200 as target. Well, it’s printing > $204 after hours.

  • AAPL held 246.30 last month and gapped up last week pushing into/above 260 target. Now 269 ahead of earnings Wed.

  • MSFT had news but also lots of time past two months to digest 500, gapping up Monday above 531 resistance! Tagged 556 today!

Earnings:

  • PYPL & UPS had big upside reactions to better-than-feared earnings, but neither could hold those gain - as expected.

  • REGN, on the other hand, opened with a nice pop at 612 )above 605 support & 200D), and slowly picked up speed - not only reaching my 641 / 50W target but closing on the highs near 652!!

  • NFLX was a perfect swing short target of 1097 and identified short-covering bounce there this morning. It reached all the way to its 200D at 1117 as called out (before getting rejected intraday).

  • RCL has been a very nice swing short set up into earning, that disappointed and dropped 9% today, forming a bearish engulfing on the weekly that is set up for more in time - to at least its 50W near 277.

  • NUE opened higher at 146 and pushed into my VIP monthly resistance level of 151.32 (overshooting near 155). Needs to get/stay > 151.32 to trend reverse higher - as in $50 higher. Looks good and worth checking in from time to time.

  • GLW is finally seeing some distribution after a long-protracted run higher since client Anne rec’d near 35 last year.

Trend long uranium stocks CCJ & URA since NOVEMBER 2020 had a very good day on news US Govt will invest $80 billion to construct new Westinghouse nuclear power reactors.

:partying_face:

Wednesday morning could be quiet ahead of the MAG5 earnings and FOMC, so bring lots of questions/charts/trade set ups you would like me to review live in the trading room. Then I will run a live FOMC session from 2-3PM - just in case Powell surprise. Ya never know...
