The Nasdaq has cleared a trendline and is now at the highest level since around the early June all-time peak. Seeing broad-based strength in growth. Chip ETF SMH up 2.4%. Software ETF IGV 1.7%. Biotech ETF XBI 1.5%. Mag-7 ETF MAGS up 2%, hitting a new high.

But if the glass is half empty, it's also half full. Chips and AI buildout stocks are looking promising, with AMD and Sandisk in buy areas. The SMH ETF is back above its 50-day line, albeit not decisively. Software remains strong and many biotechs are interesting. 3/3

The Nasdaq finished the week strong amid a rate hike, 5% yields and triple witching. Oil prices fading helped. But the Nasdaq finished strong the prior week, only to fall back. The Nasdaq has finished high-ish in its weekly range for the last four weeks. 1/ www.investors.com/market-trend...

Futures rise and oil prices dive as Trump announces U.S.-Iran deal that opens up Strait of Hormuz. Stocks rebounded late last week on Iran hopes, though the Nasdaq closed below its 21-day line. Looks set to clear that key level. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Stocks soared and oil dived - esp. on Friday - as Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz "open." But - psych! - Iran's military says Saturday that Hormuz is still under its "strict control." At least two ships were fired upon. 2/

The stock market surged again last week, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 at record highs. More leading stocks flashed buy signals, including many on Friday. But what about Monday ... 1/

Stocks surged and oil prices plunged last week on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The market is in a confirmed uptrend with many stocks making bullish moves, many already extended. It was a time to add exposure gradually (not glacially). Let the market draw you in - or push you out. 2/

Futures, oil trading loom as President Trump announces plans for U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran talks end without a deal. A U.S. blockade could further limit ships transiting the strait, at least in the short term. 1/ www.investors.com/market-trend...

Futures jump, crude oil prices dive as Trump, Iran agree on two-week cease-fire. Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz but apparently will still charge tolls (along with Oman). A lot of strong stocks are setting up. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Ed Carson @edcarson.bsky.social · 02/04/2026
Futures fall, oil prices jump on Trump's Iran speech. Markets have rallied on Iran deal hopes, so this was more hawkish than perhaps expected. What does that mean for 19 stocks that made bullish moves Wednesday. Tesla deliveries loom early Thursday. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Trump has told aides he's willing to end the Iran war even if the Strait of Hormuz remains shut, the @WSJ reported, citing administration officials. Dow futures jumped, oil prices reversed lower on the report. 1/ www.investors.com/news/trump-w...

Futures loom with focus on oil prices. Trump, Iran signal no war off-ramp. Energy Sec'y Wright says "not too long" for Strait of Horumz tanker traffic to normalize. With Gulf oil/LNG output falling, we're close to a point where supplies will be low for weeks. www.investors.com/market-trend...

What a difference two days makes. After Wed.'s AI-led slide, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 were clearly below their 50-day lines. After Friday, both were above that key level. Even better, a large number of stocks from a variety of groups flashed buy signals. 1/ www.investors.com/market-trend...

Nvidia sold off last week, below its buy point and the 50-day line. It was a key contributor to Thursday's ugly market reversal. But, while it's definitely damaged, it's not broken like many tech leaders. Taiwan Semi, Broadcom are similar. 5/

Bitcoin, seen as a possible culprit for stock market woes, continue to bounce from Friday's lows over the weekend. But it's regaining just a small fraction of its sell-off since early October. 2/

The stock market suffered big, damaging losses last week, with the major indexes tumbling below their 50-day/10-week lines. Many tech leaders showed similar damage. Friday's bounce was nice, but investors need to see a lot more than that. 1/ www.investors.com/market-trend...

Nvidia pump and dump was a surprise, but it shouldn't have been. It's the fifth straight time that $NVDA initially rallied, then pared gains/reversed lower that day and/or next day ... usually with several days/weeks of declines. 2/2

Ed Carson @edcarson.bsky.social · 21/11/2025
The major indexes reclaimed their 50-day lines early Thursday as Nvidia initially jumped, but then reversed sharply lower. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 undercut their Oct. 10 lows. Bitcoin (IBIT ETF here) tumbled to a fresh seven-month low. Investors should have limited exposure. 1/

It's still early, but the Tesla FSD tracker - the closest thing to "real" FSD data - is signaling a notable improvement with v14. So far, out of 3K miles tracked, there have been no critical disengagements. At some point we'll get some, but it's a great start. 1/ teslafsdtracker.com

The stock market dived Friday on Trump's tariff threats. Investors should have cut some exposure, and ready to do more if the selling continues. Oracle AI World starts Monday. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Taiwan Semi earnings are this week. Tesla tumbled, but the chart may be constructive. 2/2

Is the market pullback over? Indexes found support at their 21-day line and many growth names rallied well off lows. But stocks have fallen for 3 days. What will be "obvious" next week isn't right now. Palantir, Nvidia lead 5 stocks near buy points. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Ed Carson @edcarson.bsky.social · 19/09/2025
Techs and especially small caps led Thursday, but the Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 all hit record highs on a day 2 Fed reaction and an Nvidia-Intel partnership. Chip stocks and speculative growth were esp. strong. Palantir led 7 new buys. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Getting older is now America's main employment driver. The U.S. economy has lost 142,200 jobs over the last four months excluding health care & social assistance. In the four months to February, before tariffs kicked in, the U.S. added 523,100 jobs ex health care/social assistance.

The Apple product event and inflation reports headline this week. But pay attention to Rubrik earnings. RBRK made a solid move Friday but below some early entries. The cybersecurity stock has had a slew of short-lived buy signals. Tuesday night's earnings could be the catalyst - but which way? 6/

Robinhood, AppLovin and Emcor will join the S&P 500 before the Sept. 22 open, S&P Global said Friday night. Robinhood and AppLovin had been snubbed multiple times. HOOD is set to reclaim its 50-day, perhaps offer an early entry. EME could be near an early entry. APP is near record highs. 5/

Tesla, Home Depot, Micron Technology and Taiwan Semiconductor are all above or around early entries/traditional buy points. Micron and Taiwan Semi moved Friday on Broadcom. Taiwan Semi makes chips for Nvidia and AMD, but also Broadcom and Apple. 4/

The major indexes are at the top of recent ranges - most obvious on the Nasdaq. Sideways action is normal. It's letting stocks set up bases/handles/pullback. But it also lures investors in with buy signals that often fizzle (and then sometimes revive again). But you never when that'll change. 2/

Tech futures fall on Nvidia, with NVDA down 3% and many AI plays off slightly. Snowflake, Urban Outfitters, CrowdStrike among several other earnings movers. Earlier, the S&P 500 hit a new high while small caps led again. www.investors.com/market-trend...

The $7,500 U.S. EV tax credit still expires Sept. 30, but new IRS guidelines make that more of a soft deadline. That gives Tesla and other automakers a little more time to rack up electric vehicle sales before demand falls off a cliff. www.investors.com/news/7500-ev...

Futures are mixed ahead of Walmart earnings with Meta reportedly freezing AI hiring. The major indexes rebounded well off lows. So did growth leaders like Palantir. But PLTR is still down sharply for the week. www.investors.com/market-trend...

Futures loom after Friday's sell-off on the weak jobs report and Trump tariffs. All the major indexes are below their 21-day lines for the first time in months. Investors may have wanted to some selling due to specific holdings or just to reduce exposure a bit. 1/2 www.investors.com/market-trend...

On Thu., the major indexes reversed lower despite Meta and Microsoft. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are just below record highs set Thursday morning, but the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 equal-weight ETFs RSP and QQEW closed below their 21-day moving averages for the first time in 3 months.

Tesla's "rough" comment may speed up analysts' estimate-cutting going forward. It's frankly ludicrous that analysts have Q4 estimates higher than Q3 - given the end of the IRA credits on Sept. 30. Should see estimates for Q4-Q2 come down substantially. 2/2

BYD is the clear EV leader now, with Tesla's EV woes mounting. Elon Musk has bet big on robotaxis. Tesla earnings are due Wed., with Musk and the earnings call in focus. TSLA made a bullish move last week. BYD is up strongly for 2025 but must regain a key level. www.investors.com/news/tesla-v...

Along with Uber, Cadence Design, Nextracker, Shopify and ServiceNow also are actionable, though NOW is just below a traditional buy point. CDNS and NXT jumped late last week on Trump policies. 6/

What does the market think of the Tesla robotaxi launch so far? Since the June 22 kickoff, TSLA is down 2.1%. Uber is up 11.8% - just breaking out Thu. - while Mobileye has surged 29.6%. Over the weekend, a robotaxi made contact with a parked Camry. No damage, but a low-variable incident. 5/

Tesla fell modestly last week, trading around key levels as it works on a possible base within a large consolidation. Q2 deliveries were just below consensus, but better than feared. Trump's budget law kills U.S. zero-emission credits immediately and the $7,500 EV credit after Sept. 30. 4/
