I discussed $INTC along with other AI names that stick out, the under the radar headline from last week that might be pointing to the next monster theme, my favorite hyperscaler opportunity, crypto, my portfolio, and more here:

One of the most important things in this market is knowing where a stock is in its lifecycle.
If a stock is already up 10x and reports blowout numbers or a big headline, the bar is way higher and great numbers or big news is expected or even “priced in.”
But when a stock is early in its move and starts putting up blowout numbers, that’s when you get the monster earnings reactions.
The numbers matter but where they happen in the stocks cycle matters just as much if not more.
For real. Once you’ve been on X and in the game long enough, you realise that there is a lot of emotional people and accounts out for gratification every time there’s a dip
Repeat after me:
Pullbacks or pauses in the midst of an uptrend are normal and often opportunity to get more exposure, not a reason to panic or sell everything.
The worst part of this move is that when we eventually do pull back, the same people who have been bearish for months will lecture everyone about how they were right, completely ignoring the monster move they missed.
Utilize higher timeframes.
The purpose of the monthly and weekly chart is to give you a sense of where the overall trend is headed.
We want to own stocks with great setups on higher timeframes because the odds of the trade working in the shorter timeframe are greater.
Stocks that are going up in the big picture have a higher likelihood of going up in the shorter timeframe as well.
Owning stocks with bullish monthly and/or weekly charts increases the chances of success exponentially.
The argument against this market over the last five months as it’s chopped around despite hitting new all time highs has been poor breadth.
If we start to see breadth improve and more stocks participate, things could get crazy to close out 2026.
Something you should have come to realize over the past 3+ years is that a market that has a big wall of worry to climb can be one of the most lucrative markets of all.
I discussed $MU, the rest of the AI trade and my favorite names, a stock that was hit with an avalanche of FUD over the past week but I believe is an opportunity, the best chart in the market that had thesis changing news, my portfolio, and more here:
