Brought to You By Power Plays SPX futures are +3 after a big three-day move that held 5446 last week to hit 5570 on Friday (all-time high). Now we see if we hold 5520ish. We have CPI Thursday, PPI & bank earnings on Friday. And Powell speaks tomorrow. Now let’s dig into some individual names: TSLA was a big money trade for our community as we hyper-focused here to clear the $191 and $199 area. It hit $252 Friday. It’s down small this morning which is no surprise because it’s a little extended. I’d think $242ish holds. It should be in play for the rest of the year so keep it on the radar. AMZN gave a big money trade when it cleared the $189-$191 area to see $200ish. Some news about Jeff Bezos selling stock slowed it down. It can still see $205-$210. The first step towards that would be a high volume move over stay above $200.55. MSFT has been a great Power Plays name. It cleared key levels at $433 and $457 to hit a high of $468 on Friday to manage. There is no real setup now. NVDA finally woke up last Wednesday as it went through a “re-build” stage. Friday it was out of play. I’m long versus the $125 area. We’ll see if it can hold today and trade better. The next spot to clear would be $129ish. AMD chopped up traders for months then finally cleared $166-$167 with volume and authority Friday. It’s giving some upside follow-through this morning to trim. Chances are this works back to at least the $183 area. Featured: Join Scott Redler’s Plays for $99 Get Scott’s #1 idea each week. That’s 52 weeks for just $99. See why now’s the right time to join. Your Tip for This Week: Take a Blue Collar Mentality Every day is a fresh start. As traders, we must maximize the opportunities that are in front of us at the present moment. Forget about what happened yesterday, and don’t obsess over what may happen tomorrow. Let’s say you have a bad Friday. Don’t come in on Monday thinking you have to make up for it. You won’t be able to manage risk because you’ll be trading out of desperation. Even the best of us have rough stretches. But if we follow our principles and enter every day with a plan, our good days will outweigh the bad. Just take it one day at a time. On the flip side, if you make a fortune on Monday, don’t get lazy on Tuesday! Stick to your plan and make the most out of what you see. This Week’s Calendar There’s not much going on today. But the rest of the week will be busy with Powell Testifying, CPI, PPI, plus bank earnings Friday. Should be interesting with light summer volumes, which could create volatile action.

Brought to You By Power Plays SPX futures are +9 after big first-half gains of 14.5% with a high of 5523. What will Q3 bring? As active traders, we go day-by-day and week-by-week to figure out the flows. Will money rotate to energy and bios? Can semis and mega-cap tech keep their leadership? Will the Fed cut in September? Those are the questions we’ll let the market answer. This week, we’ll see if 5446 holds to keep this upper level intact. Remember we close at 1 pm Wednesday, and then we’re off Thursday for the July 4th holiday. A tech sell program hit late Friday. We’ll see if this repairs fast or if we see downside continuation below $478ish in the QQQ’s. $473 is key to the complexion of the week. Now let’s dig into some individual names: NVDA was $136+ when I said the semis were overheated. Last week’s low was $118, and it bounced to $128. But it still needs time to rebuild. I did take some home and we’ll see if new flows come in, or if it works lower in Q3. For today, it’s down a little. See if it reclaims $122.60 or stays below. I bought OXY for the re-balance trade around $59.50 and sold most into the $63.50 area. Seems like this can work higher. It needs to hold $61.50. AAPL: Friday’s last 5-minutes felt mechanical, so I did buy into the close. I trimmed some this morning. I’ll see if this candle repairs fast. Strength was sold almost every session. For now, use $210ish as key. A move and hold below can send this back towards the $206 area. TSLA finally had a big money trade. I loaded up on options and stock last week. It cleared $189-$191 and hit a high of $203+ Friday, where I took it off. Some rolled into $202 or $205 calls for this week. I wasn’t at my desk to reposition. I did manage half. Deliveries hit tomorrow. Know what you can handle. META is so sloppy. It got hit at the end of the day with tech. We’ll see if it can hold the $530 area. Otherwise, it’s an avoid. It needs to hold $490ish. Featured: Join Scott Redler’s Plays for $99 Get Scott’s #1 idea each week. That’s 52 weeks for just $99. See why now’s the right time to join. Your Tip for This Week: Take a Blue Collar Mentality Trading isn’t about turning on your screens and swinging for the fences each day. It’s about hitting singles and doubles. Success comes from showing up and doing the work every day, the same way carpenters, ironworkers, and plumbers put together a building. For traders, this includes forming an effective trading plan, observing the market, and aiming for consistent profits. I’ve seen a lot of traders search and search and search for some kind of secret sauce. Hard, steady work is the closest thing to it. This Week’s Calendar US markets close early on Wednesday and are shut all day Thursday for the July 4 holiday. However, we do have some important data points this week — especially the JOLTs Job Openings, ADP Employment and Nonfarm Payrolls numbers.

Continue Reading -->Scott went on Fox Business last week to share his thoughts on where there’s opportunity in this market. In January, Scott was on Fox Business explaining why Nvidia (NVDA) and Eli Lilly (LLY) were set to soar — as Liz Claman explains in the clip below (scroll down to watch). Nvidia’s up 161% since… Eli Lilly’s rocketed 52% YTD so far. He shares why the market could be rolling over starting July 1st. Your big names could slow down. Those that were bringing up the rear, could take the spotlight as the 3Q begins. With that rotation, Scott believes one famous tech name is set to take the lead over the Nvidia’s and Apple’s (AAPL) of the world. With Nvidia pulling back… Scott shares his approach on the semis, including: Why he called the semis overheated on June 20 Why laggards could start moving starting July 1st The #1 tech name for 3Q that Scott loves (note: it’s already taken off since this clip aired so be careful!) Check out the clip below: Watch the latest video at foxbusiness.com BONUS CLIP: Scott was also on Neil Cavuto’s Fox Business show recently too. Watch the latest video at foxbusiness.com For many traders, the market feels very ‘narrow’ right now. You have the S&P and Nasdaq making new highs… but sectors like energy are still sputtering. It feels like the opportunities are few. In this clip Scott goes over: How long this bull market may have left Scott’s call on a big tech name that’s doing well Scott’s ‘rebalancing’ trade for cashflow The unique options play that feels “out of nowhere” Want to see Scott’s trades BEFORE he shares them on TV?

Welcome to this week’s edition of Dog Bytes. To get this content by email every Monday, enter your email at the bottom of this page. We have mixed markets around the world as we head into the last week of the second quarter. Europe is green while Asia is off small. Last Thursday, I warned that the semiconductors were overheated, and that proved a great spot to sell some winners. Some sophisticated traders made money shorting SMH, NVDA, AVGO, etc. as well as buying SOXS. It feels like we have a tactical top in that sector as we see if money rotates into the rebalance from last week. SPX futures are +5. Last week’s low is 5452, with the 8-day under at 5440. Treasuries are flat across the board and Fed expectations are holding steady. Now let’s dig into some individual names: AMZN woke up last Thursday with a nice move through the $185 area. I bought a lot of $192.50 calls for July 5th. If this can hold $187ish now, it can clear the channel to hit $200+. It’s one of my favorite names now. TSLA has so many conflicting stories. It hasn’t been special since last December. The pattern is tight. I have some $192.50 calls for July 5th. This will need HUGE volume and hold above $189 to get some active momentum longs back here. $176 is key support. On Thursday, NVDA was a focus as usual, but to the short side for the first time this year. Some sold longs, some got short, some bought puts. Either way, my community was not buying. It was $140+ then, and on Friday, it hit a low of $124.30. I took some home long. I might need to wait until $118-$120 before looking to get aggressive. ADBE did fill some of its post-earnings gap but looks decent. It needs to hold $505, and if it clears $535, it probably accelerates for active cash flow. Your Trading Tip for This Week: Create a Daily Routine You Enjoy The number one thing traders waste time and energy doing is… figuring out how to use their time and energy. Create a daily routine that keeps you happy and productive. This includes everything from chart reviews to gym time to coffee breaks. There’s nothing less exciting than a schedule. But the more I plan out my day ahead of time, the easier it is to concentrate on the market. Plus, I have more energy for gym and family time, which is very important to me. Distractions kill your profits. So kill distractions with a routine! This Week’s Calendar Scott’s Positions Disclosure as of 2024-06-24 at 8.19.48 AM
