Finance-Focused Summary (Markets, Setups, Levels, Strategy)

The presenter runs a short-term, level-based trading plan (primarily futures and high-liquidity growth / memory / semis).

Core framework:

  • Break & retest (using previous day highs) in trending markets
  • Pullback longs into key demand (often the daily 20)
  • Gap-fill shorts when key support breaks
  • Risk control via confirmation: avoid fading strength in bullish regimes; wait for support cracks/breaks
  • Session discipline: prefers less pre-market trading, since it tends to cause more losses; focus is mainly intraday / New York session

Major macro event risk:

  • FOMC tomorrow (Wednesday) — caution noted, but the presenter states the levels/plan remain the same for today.

Key Strategy / Framework

1) Break & Retest (Previous Day Highs)

  • Best in macro-trending conditions:
    • Uptrending macro = stronger markets
    • Downtrending macro = weaker markets
  • Example cited:
    • SNDK: a “perfect break and retest” of previous day highs, leading to new all-time highs.

2) Pullback Longs in an Uptrend

  • Don’t short the market while it’s reclaiming downside-origin levels
  • Instead, look for pullbacks into demand/support (often the daily 20).

3) Gap-Fill Shorts When Support Breaks

  • If price breaks key premarket/support levels, bias shifts toward gap fills
  • Example mentioned for Nasdaq:
    • Friday close → Monday open dynamic.

4) Confirmation + Regime Awareness

  • Avoid shorting highs inside a bullish/uptrending regime
  • Wait for support cracks/breaks before switching bias.

Macro / Event Risk

  • FOMC tomorrow (Wednesday)
    • “Be aware,” but the presenter says the plan/levels stay the same today.

Market Plan & Key Numbers (Major Levels)

Nasdaq Futures (NQ) — Bias and Triggers

Reclaim / hold zone (overnight):

  • 30,755–30,805

Bullish conditional:

  • As long as 30,755–30,805 holds, look for longs
  • Presenter: “literally zero reason to short this market” while holding

Primary pullback long area:

  • ~30,755–30,800
  • Also referenced: 30,664–30,630 (yesterday’s pullback long that hit)

Bearish trigger / gap-fill short idea:

  • Break under ~30,628–30,630
  • Then potential gap fill toward:
    • daily 20
    • around 30,400–30,300

Upside caution (supply/rejection):

  • 31,050–31,100

QQQ — Must-Hold / Selling Triggers

Key support:

  • 741–742 (overnight low)

If 741 breaks:

  • aggressive selling toward 730–735

Supply near highs:

  • Mentions 746 supply and a 748 area tied to all-time high

Deeper gap-fill note:

  • If 730 breaks, “gap back down to the daily 20”

S&P 500 / ES & SPY — SMT Divergence & Gap-Fill Shorts

SMT call:

  • Nasdaq higher high while S&P makes a lower high
  • Bearish lean for S&P: “possibly… back down to daily 20 and key demand”

S&P supply / rejection:

  • 7630–7640

Demand / long area:

  • 7584–7600 (daily 20 demand ~ 7600)

If breakdown occurs:

  • Under ~7584 and under the daily 20 (7600):
    • down toward Friday’s highs
    • “gap fill short” toward ~7560

SPY “real short” trigger:

  • Below 749–750
  • Then gap fill short back to daily 20
  • Downside path implied toward ~745

Caution:

  • Don’t fall into a mindset of “market is too high… continuously shorting highs.”

Semiconductor Complex (SMH) — Decision Framework

Key level:

  • 640

If SMH holds above 640 (and above all-time highs):

  • Don’t short the market
  • Pullbacks become pullback longs

If SMH breaks 640 and fails under prior all-time highs:

  • Reason to look for gap-fill shorts influencing the broader market
  • Targets mentioned:
    • 624–620

Presenter’s phrasing:

  • If that break occurs: “done… easy.”

Individual Trade Setups & Stock-Specific Levels

Memory / DRAM / MU / SNDK

DRAM (category level):

  • Must hold above prior all-time highs:
    • 6950–6970
  • If it fails back under:
    • possible pullback toward ~6462

Micron (MU):

  • All-time high context
  • Must hold:
    • 1080–1090
  • If fails under:
    • pullback toward ~1040

SNDK:

  • Praised setup: “perfect break and retest” of previous all-time highs
  • For upside:
    • hold 2118–2124
  • If it breaks:
    • expected to fail back into its channel / trade lower

Dell (DELL)

  • Looks strong; “top watch” for the next week and a half
  • Wants reclaim structure after a gap-fill trap
  • Key: form a higher low above ~399–400
  • Upside path:
    • toward ~430
    • potentially all-time highs if structure confirms

AI / Semis (Selected)

AMD:

  • Needs 540 to hold
  • If not: downside toward ~520–521 (Friday close referenced)
  • Wants confidence via reclaim/hold above:
    • 540 and 546

Nvidia (NVDA):

  • “Daily 20 above could be a nasty rejection point”
  • Wants hold above 210–211
  • If not enough reward to long:
    • alternative: pullback long toward ~207
  • If breaks under 210.50:
    • expect back to ~207

Intel (INTC):

  • Best entry described as ~115 (daily 20 area)
  • If holds over 125–126:
    • go higher

Broadcom (AVGO):

  • Higher lows around 387–390
  • Preferred: break & retest there

TSMC (TSM):

  • Watching for higher-low holding

Arm (ARM):

  • Long not preferred near all-time high supply
  • Longs only if it returns to:
    • ~385 or ~363

Marvell (MRVL):

  • Wants it to hold above double-top high:
    • 302–305
  • If fails:
    • move down toward ~287

Other Setups / Thematics

IWM (Russell):

  • “temporary short” idea: reject Friday highs
  • Then trade back into major demand around 292–293
  • Flips to long off an hourly retest

Gold (GC):

  • Interested in shorting gold to fill a gap around 4240
  • Then possibly re-long at/near 4240 after rejection/retest

HOOD (Robinhood):

  • “Time to take full profits”
  • Target reached:
    • 102
    • daily 200
  • Plans additional profit-taking on squeeze

AAPL / PLTR / META / AMZN / GOOGL

AAPL:

  • Holding August contracts
  • Needs 297 to flip and go to 300

PLTR:

  • Higher-low structure focus
  • If it creates a low above 132–134:
    • targets include ~140 (daily 20 / daily 50 zone)

META:

  • Needs to get above daily 20 to “flip higher”

AMZN:

  • Higher-low structure
  • Key level: 244–245 must hold

    • QQQ supply near highs
  • Shorting caution:
    • Don’t short highs in a bullish market—wait for support breaks

    • Nasdaq: under ~628–630 → potential gap-fill short
    • QQQ: under 741 → downside acceleration
    • SMH: break 640 → semis not long; look for gap-fill shorts
