The market has been buzzing with numerous alternatives throughout completely different shares, from mid-large cap earnings performs to small-cap gems and attractive ETF momentum trades. It’s been an exhilarating week, full of participation and useful classes whereas exploring the market’s various alternatives.
What captured my consideration was the intriguing dynamics of sure EV names that had been hovering not too long ago, solely to witness a momentary downturn on Friday, probably paving the way in which for an attractive breakdown setup within the upcoming week. This thrilling growth has now develop into the first focus of my consideration for the week forward, particularly specializing in NIO. Together with NIO and different EV names like RIVN, I’m additionally all in favour of a possible lengthy setup forming in AMD. So let’s get proper into it!
NIO (NYSE: NIO)
NIO Inc. is a distinguished multinational electrical automobile (EV) producer and one in all China’s high six producers. The corporate has gained recognition for its revolutionary battery know-how. The corporate’s car lineup revolves round three important platforms: a sports activities automobile, a spread of SUVs/crossovers, and a sedan.

NIO’s Latest Surge Larger
Together with a number of different EV producers, shares of NIO have skilled a speedy surge increased in current months. During the last three months, the inventory has soared practically 80% increased and nearly 54% within the earlier month. Because of the current rally, shares of the EV producer at the moment are up over 50% year-to-date.
Nevertheless, together with a number of different trade names, NIO skilled a big shift in momentum on Friday after the inventory closed the day at lows, dropping nearly 5%. After the current rally in current months, Friday’s selloff caught my consideration for a possible pullback commerce within the upcoming week.
My Commerce Plan
NIO has an ATR of simply 0.88. Nevertheless, on Friday, the inventory traded a spread of 1.48 and closed close to the LOD, signaling to me {that a} clear momentum shift has occurred within the title and plenty of may be left holding the bag from $15+ within the brief time period.
Due to this fact, within the upcoming week, I’m searching for a pop towards $15.25 – $15.50 to be met with promoting and speedy failure, resulting in a transfer again in direction of $15 and beneath. Such worth motion would affirm to me that sellers have taken management.
If I see the inventory put within the decrease excessive, I’ll look to enter the place brief, round $15, with a cease positioned above the latest decrease excessive, defined within the above paragraph. So, if the inventory pops and fails at $15.30 and trades again to $15, I’ll get brief close to $15 and place my cease at or simply above $15.30.
My first revenue goal for the brief place could be $14 – $13.80, the primary space of help I see on the chart within the brief time period. I’d look to promote near half of my place there, which might cowl my danger and lock in earnings. I’d additionally decrease my transfer cease to $15 or path my cease to 1 ATR above the present worth, relying on the value motion.
To cowl the remainder of my place, my lofty worth goal, with a 1-week time cease positioned, is the rising 20-day SMA, close to $12.30. It’s a lofty goal, however typically it pays to have creativeness. As talked about, If the commerce materializes, I’ll cowl half into $14ish and probably transfer my cease to both $15, thereby locking in earnings and taking danger off, or path my cease to 1 ATR. If the concept triggers and the commerce is positioned, my timeframe for completion could be about 5 buying and selling days.
Superior Micro Units (NASDAQ: AMD)
Superior Micro Units, Inc. (AMD) is a long-standing semiconductor firm that has been working globally since 1969. Primarily based in Santa Clara, California, AMD is a key participant in various sectors of the worldwide financial system.

AMD’s product vary contains microprocessors, chipsets, GPUs, knowledge facilities, system-on-a-chip, growth companies, and know-how for gaming consoles, making it extremely uncovered within the semiconductor trade.
AMD Reported Q2 Earnings Final Week
Superior Micro Units (AMD) not too long ago reported quarterly earnings, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.58, surpassing analysts’ expectations by $0.01. The corporate’s return on fairness was 7.19%, with a internet margin of 1.71%. The quarter’s income amounted to $5.36 billion, barely exceeding the consensus estimate of $5.32 billion. Nevertheless, the income was down by 18.2% in comparison with the identical interval final yr. AMD additionally offered up to date EPS steering for Q3 2023.
My Commerce Plan
After reporting earnings on Tuesday, AMD closed the day in pink on Wednesday, down nearly 2 ATRs from the open. Nevertheless, the inventory recovered effectively to shut the week within the inexperienced, up 2.53%, regardless of Wednesday’s sharp selloff.
The false breakdown and restoration have now created a possible lengthy setup that pursuits me.
After testing the consolidation help, close to $108, on Wednesday, AMD didn’t spend time beneath it and snapped again in direction of the resistance of the consolidation. This will get me pondering; a quick transfer increased comes from a failed transfer decrease.
So, I’m seeking to get lengthy AMD for a short-term swing commerce if the inventory can break above $120 and maintain above $120 intraday for over an hour, lengthy sufficient for me to believe that resistance has been damaged and may develop into help going ahead.
Particularly, I’ll search for the inventory to interrupt over $120 inside the subsequent week and make the next low above that stage. As soon as the inventory confirms the breakout, I’ll get lengthy with a cease positioned beneath $120, as I’d not wish to see the inventory re-enter the vary as soon as it breaks above it and holds above it.
I’d promote half of my place close to $125, simply over 1 ATR from the breakout stage of $120. For the rest of the place, I’d promote close to $130, an essential space of resistance and potential failure spot. I’d additionally promote if the transfer slowed and quantity decreased, implementing a time cease of 5 days.
If the inventory fails to carry over $120 as soon as testing the extent, I cannot get lengthy and transfer on to different concepts. Bear in mind, don’t get married to an concept. Plan the commerce and commerce the plan.
