Earn around $400 How I Protected My Gains with a Strategic PLTR Options Adjustment on June 13, 2025 📈🛡️
⸻ Buying at Support – 100 Shares at $135.65 🔍 On June 13, 2025, I spotted an ideal entry point for Palantir (PLTR) around the $135.65 level—a well-tested support zone on the intraday chart. This price level had previously shown buyers stepping in, and I wanted to capitalize on this buying pressure. So I bought 100 shares at $135.65, positioning myself for a short-term upside move. This wasn’t just a random entry; the volume and price action confirmed that $135.50–$136 was acting as a floor. With the broader market holding up and no major negative catalysts for the day, I leaned bullish with a tight risk. ⸻ Selling the $137 Call – Covering for Immediate Gains 💸 $PLTR 20250613 137.0 CALL$ Right after entering my long posi

$Apple(AAPL)$ 2025 has presented a continuous downward trajectory, and over the last three months, a symmetric series of lower highs has been notably evident. Last week's candle initially suggested some continuation, but $203, which served as the central level for the week that just ended, acted with precision as resistance. The sequence of lower lows now strongly suggests that the $192 long-term level will be tested. As long as the price remains below $199.4 (the central level for next week), $192 is the immediate next destination.Recalling yesterday’s educational content regarding support and resistance levels, when I wrote about starting from the long term picture and zooming in progressively, the broader picture reveals $192 as an annual level
$Alphabet(GOOG)$$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Another example of a shooting star, in this case it found rejection at $176, a long term level that as of today is proving its strength, and considering how overbought is becoming the Stochastic oscillator, there are good chances to see a pullback.A disciplined interpretation of technical indicators markedly enhances prediction probabilities. Nevertheless, even with the high degree of anticipatory accuracy demonstrated in my publications for premium subscribers—such as my February analyses forecasting an S&P 500 correction to $4800, my bullish analyses since April 9th, and the accurate peak calls for Tesla and Bitcoin in December, as well as for IWM during Thanksgiv
SMH - A perfect illustration of a shooting star candlestick on its weekly timeframe
The Semiconductor ETF $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ provides a perfect illustration of a shooting star candlestick on its weekly timeframe. The black arrows in the chart highlight this formation, which historically preceded declines towards the 20 or 40-week moving averages, and even deeper corrections, as witnessed in April. The overbought oscillator further reinforces the potential for a pullback.The volume shelf, originating from $231.2, is expected to provide substantial support. Any support level situated within this green volume-at-price shelf is inherently stronger than those outside it, whether above or below.On Friday, June 6th, I published the support and resistance levels for the week ahead including SMH in over 40 securities.

Stocks are stumbling on geopolitics, S&P back below 6000
Weekly S&P500 ChartStorm - 15 June 2025This week: technically ready, geopolitics, sentiment and positioning, asset allocations, stocks vs bonds, market cycles, energy stocks...Learnings and conclusions from this week’s charts:Stocks are stumbling on geopolitics (S&P back below 6000).Most of the time geopolitics can be ignored, with some exceptions.Sentiment remains mixed, skittish, still skewed bearish/defensive.Yet investor allocations to stocks are historically elevated.Energy stocks are unloved, undervalued, and unprepared for oil price upside.Overall, a key theme to think about this week is timing. As I point out, when you study market technicals, you find events/excuses have a habit of showing up at times when the market was ready to move but just waiting for an excuse. Likewi
