Tech Meltdown
Brought to You By Scott Redler’s Power Plays – Get My #1 Idea Week. We have mostly red arrows around the World as headlines about “DeepSeek” get debated. AI optimism fueled tech for the past two years, so any disruptions and the market gets emotional. We’ll see how emotional after some price discovery today. SPX futures -140, a pretty sizable down move after a small sell signal on Friday. We did reduce some risk as the SPY did a Red Dog Reversal sell, QQQ made a lower high and NVDA gave a bearish engulfing candle on Friday to adjust. But being small could hurt as the move this morning is bigger than usual. We’ll see how the market reacts this morning after discovery. 5905-5930 is pretty decent support to see if it holds. Now let’s dig into some names. NVDA thank goodness this gave a Red Dog Reversal sell into a bearish engulfing candle to get me out of my long here. Now we see if the $126-$129 area holds. I’ll see if we get a 5-15-30-60 minute pivot to try against. Take care here, it will be a fast emotional trade. AMZN is down with the tech sell down. I do still have some from last week. Pre- market low is $219ish. We’ll see if we get a 5-15-30-60 minute low to buy against and trade around it. We still have this name in Power Plays from the $224 area. META I did buy calls when the stock was $625ish and then created a call spread as it hit $652+ on Friday. It said it’s increasing cap ex as the DeepSeek debate gets loud. I will probably cover my short calls and keep the long on for earnings this week. We’ll see what pivot we get this morning to use. MSFT lagged for the past 6 months. It’s down harder than other names as it put a lot of money into AI. We’ll see if we get a 5-15-30 minute low to use. I’ll avoid but watch. $410ish is a big support spot. Earnings are this week. AAPL never spent a ton on AI, so it will be interesting if this goes from the most challenged Mag7 or starts to act better. $219.38 is the recent low. I’ll see if I get a signal to buy to go green as I’ve avoided this name for the past few weeks as actively it’s been an avoid since breaking $253ish. Earnings are on Thursday.

Continue Reading -->After A Big Move
Brought to You By Scott Redler’s Power Plays – Get My #1 Idea Week. We have mixed markets around the World as we try and figure out the new administration’s tariffs and fiscal policy. SPX hit a new all-time high and backed off a little after a big run to 6100. We’ll see if 6076 holds, or do they fill that gap towards 6051. Even a test of the 6010 area would be constructive. Now let’s dig into some names. NFLX made its high in the first few minutes post earnings around $999 and grinded lower all day. $950.79 is the gap pivot. We’ll see if that holds, or do they play with it today. $941 is prior high area that is worth a look if it gets more downside today. AMZN great move for us from $220ish up thru the all-time high of $233 to see $235+ as I reduced size. I’ll see if I can add some vs the $229-$231area to go red to green to keep managing my size. META seems set up for new all-time highs but it’s a little tricky at times. Some are long vs the $603 area. I have two sets of calls but I did trim some yesterday as it hit $631. It was upgraded today. We’ll see how it reacts. NVDA got us long Tuesday as it cleared the $138 area and I did reduce into $147+. Now, we see if it’s buyable vs the $143 gap pivot to keep managing our size to stay with this active swing. DASH builds a nice upper channel. Power plays and I bought this vs the $164-$166 area. Tuesday it cleared $175 and seems on its way to $225+ in 2025. The next obstacle is $181.75. It was upgraded this morning. Featured: Join Scott Redler’s Plays for $99 Get Scott’s #1 idea each week.

Brought to You By Scott Redler’s Power Plays – Get My #1 Idea Week. We have mixed markets around the world post-inauguration day. SPX futures were up 18 as I trimmed some longs around 7:00 as it feels like things can be erratic and change. So far we did get a flood of executive orders, the market is most focused on tariffs. As of now Trump warned of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as of 2/1. Markets have to distinguish between what’s real and what’s the Art Of The Deal. Now let’s dig into some names. NFLX reports today after the close. It was a very strong name in 2024 that did correct from $941 down to $823ish. I’m not playing prior with options but will see after. How it responds could be important for risk, the $915 area is some resistance as well. TSLA gets the benefit of the doubt as Elon is high up the Trump ladder. It’s also above the 8/21-day. I did trim some up $9 this morning and I’ll try and hold some to see how the week plays out. $439.74 is Friday’s high to see how it reacts there. AAPL so far is the worst Mag7 name in 2025 but also ramped up into year-end 2024. First sell signal was $257 then $253 when it broke the 8 day. Last week it held the 100 day near $229 and then got rejected at the 8 day. Friday’s bounce was sold, there was no reason to be in this actively. It was downgraded and had poor China sales. See if it stays below $228ish. If so it can be worth a look at the 200 day near $222. AMZN looks better than most Mag7 names as it’s above the 8/21day. I’m long and did trim some. I’ll see how much of today’s gap holds, or not. $226ish is one key, then $229 the ATH area. We have this name in Power Plays. ONON continues to show leadership and is a current Power Plays name. I have stock and options from the base near the $55 area. It hit $59+ Friday to manage. I’d think new all time highs are possible in the sessions ahead.

Brought to You By Scott Redler’s Power Plays – Get My #1 Idea Week. We have mostly red arrows around the world as the correction continues. Nvidia’s (NVDA) CES bounce was sold, and then the SPX lost the 8/21 day around 5960ish. Futures are -50 as we see if we make an active low in the first hour or if we see a trend down day. Higher rates are turning into a big headwind for equities, which is why I’ve been urging you to watch TLT. On Friday morning, Power Plays closed out all our longs, so we avoided the carnage this morning. You can sign up here to know when the next idea goes out. On Friday, the oscillator was -40ish, so this morning we are very oversold and it’s not the time to press shorts. Many are asking me about the BOS account. The SPX 5650ish area would be 7%+ off highs and a spot where I might put the first tier to work. We’ll see. These first two names are a big focus for me today: TSLA: the Red Dog Reversal sell around $484 feels like years ago. We then had a lower high at $465, and then the bounce into the $426 area was rejected. Selling puts the last two weeks worked a bit. I am still short $360 puts. On Friday, it showed a little relative strength and I’m looking for a signal to buy. META is tricky but could benefit from a TikTok ban, which looks like it will happen. Watch it today. Friday’s low is $597. It’s way above that. When this market finds a bottom, this might be best in breed so it should be on the radar. AMZN lost potential special status when it broke the $224 area. Now it’s only a tactical trade until the market finds its footing. $216.50 is Friday’s low. I’ll look for an opportunity this morning. The 50-day is right under. AAPL broke $257ish to get most active longs more tactical as it was super extended into late December. It broke the 8-day to confirm our tactical approach prior. I tried it into the 50-day Friday and lost money when it hit the $233 area. I’ll see if it holds above that today. Featured: Join Scott Redler’s Plays for $99 Get Scott’s #1 idea each week.
