$Uber(UBER)$ $QUANTUM CORP(QMCO)$ $NANO Nuclear Energy Inc(NNE)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ๐ฏ๐๐ Precision Trading: How Uber Fueled My May Success and Outpaced the Market ๐๐๐ฏ
When the S&P 500 posted a 6.16% gain in May, its most robust monthly performance of 2024, I didnโt merely follow the tide, I channeled it with purpose. My strategy hinged on a singular focus: Uber Technologies Inc. ($UBER). Through five calculated swing trades, I turned market momentum into a personal win, achieving a strong 12.09% return for the month, as confirmed by my trading dashboard. This wasnโt a fluke or a passive ride, it was a deliberate, precision-driven approach that nearly doubled the S&P 500โs performance, proving that focus can outshine diversification when executed with discipline. I also had other successful swing trades contributing to this profit and loss. I posted about some of them, but couldnโt include all due to time constraints.
๐ฏ Why Uber? Finding Signal in the Noise
Mayโs market was a whirlwind of sector shifts, economic headlines, and sentiment swings. Amid this chaos, Uber emerged as a standout. Its price action displayed clear, actionable patterns, think ascending wedges and bull flags, that cut through the clutter. But I didnโt rely solely on charts. My trades demanded a fusion of evidence:
๐ Technical Clarity, I entered only when Uber breached critical resistance levels like $65 or $75, with momentum sealed by solid daily closes. These were precise entries, not guesses, timed when the odds favoured me.
๐ Volume Confirmation, spikes in trading volume, such as the 30% jump above the 20-day average at $70, signalled institutional muscle. I rode these waves, exiting as volume tapered at highs like $80.
๐ Institutional Cues, options flow data showed heavy call buying between $95 and $100, with open interest piling up. This wasnโt retail hype, it was smart money laying the groundwork, reinforcing my conviction.
๐ Fundamental Drivers, Uberโs expansion into Indiaโs freight sector and its autonomous vehicle tie-up with May Mobility werenโt just news, they were fuel for sustained price moves, syncing perfectly with my technical setups.
This wasnโt about chasing hype or reacting to headlines. It was about blending technicals, institutional signals, and real-world catalysts into a strategy that made Uber my May cornerstone.
๐ง Concentration Over Diversification: Five Trades, One Stock
While others spread their attention across dozens of tickers, I doubled down on Uber. It became my proving ground, a single stock where I could hone my edge. Across five swing trades, I extracted steady gains:
1๏ธโฃ Bought at $65 on a breakout, sold at $70 for a 7% gain as momentum faded
2๏ธโฃ Re-entered at $68 on a dip, exited at $75 as the trend resumed
3๏ธโฃ Scaled in above $75 during a pause, took profits at $80
4๏ธโฃ Nabbed a quick 5% move from $82 to $86 after earnings
5๏ธโฃ Captured the final push from $88 to $92, locking in gains before May closed
Discipline guided every move. I didnโt chase or overstay. I waited for high-probability setups, sized positions to match volatility, and exited at my targets. This relentless focus on Uber delivered a 12.09% portfolio return, nearly twice the S&P 500โs 6.16%, proving that precision trumps scattershot speculation.
๐ Beating the Index: Uberโs Outperformance
Uber itself soared nearly 20% in May, outpacing the marketโs broader gains. While tech and transportation stocks rode a wave of optimism, Uberโs unique catalysts turbocharged its rise. My concentrated strategy turned that strength into tangible results, with my Uber trades driving a return that left the S&P 500 in the dust. Did I profit from the rally? Absolutely, my 12.09% says it all.
๐ฎ June Outlook: Adapting to the Shift
June looms with its own dynamics. Historically, itโs a lacklustre month, since 1980, the market has never peaked then, and Mayโs euphoria often gives way to chop. Last year defied the โSell in Mayโ mantra, but I donโt trade on proverbs, I trade structure.
โฑ๏ธ๐ Hereโs what Iโm watching:
๐ S&P 500 Levels, resistance at 5320, support at 5285. A drop below 5285 could hint at a pullback
๐ VIX Signals, below 13, the VIX feels primed for a jolt if volatility stirs
๐ Market Trends, liquidity is tilting toward energy and financials. Iโm tracking their traction
For Uber, my May gains are secured, but Iโm not done. Iโll re-engage if it goes above $90 with fresh institutional buying, say, a breakout past $95 with volume and options flow backing it. Risk stays tight: stops below key levels, positions scaled to the setup. Hold or sell? Iโll let the market decide, striking when the stars align and stepping back when they donโt.
๐ง Takeaway: Precision Wins
May was my thesis in action: one stock, five trades, and a relentless focus on process over guesswork. Uber didnโt just anchor my strategy, it propelled it, delivering a 12.09% return that outran the market. While others diluted their efforts, I sharpened mine, turning focus into results.
This isnโt about short-term scores or market magic. Itโs about a repeatable, analytical approach that thrives in any climate. June may test the rally, but Iโm ready, watching, calculating, and poised to act when opportunity calls.
๐ค Did you concentrate your trades in May like I did, or take the diversified route? Iโd love to hear what worked for you. June can be tricky, so are you adjusting your strategy or sitting tight and observing liquidity shifts?
