$BOTZ Robotics and A.I. ETF – Double Top or Shakeout?Looking at this weekly chart NASDAQ:BOTZ has made a series of higher highs and higher lows, the definition of an uptrend. It did, however, fail to make a higher high in the last few weeks. The question is, is this an indication of a double top and ready for more downside or is it just a shakeout waiting to resume the uptrend? I do not know the answer.
I do like that it has been pulling back on light volume (no rush for the doors) and it just finished a 3 Weeks-Tight pattern. (If you look at the chart these are automatically calculated by the charting tool I am using and are marked with a white bar.) Looking back, you can see not all 3 Weeks-Tight lead to an uptrend. However, most of them do, so that is an edge, not a guarantee.
I do not like shorting stocks, so I look for edges to go long. It seems to me that continuing the uptrend is the path of least resistance. I have set an alert at $31.02 which was Friday, May 31 high that went just over Thursday, May 30 high of 30.99. This is a weekly chart so you cannot see those candles, if you look you will see that Friday’s candle looks to be a price rejection to the downside.
Should my alert trigger, I will look to go long with a stop just under Friday’s low of 30.35. And as always situational awareness is important to any trade.

Some of these names have already bolstered huge gains and looking to potentially squeeze higher if price action holds firm.
All of these names need to be monitored in the near term for opportunities.

$TAN Solar Starting to Shine?AMEX:TAN ETF looks like it has started a nice move. I got in on this one May 9th as it broke above the downtrend line for the second time since the gap up May 3rd. It came close to stopping me out on May 21st, but it held above my stop. I was rewarded on May 22nd with a massive volume surge, due in part by the big move on $FSLR. It looks to me to be at an area that may prove to be resistance. I am expecting some consolidation here (just because I expect it, doesn’t mean it will happen). If it can consolidate a bit and then break above that area, I will look to add to this position. I have a two-thirds size now. I think it can run to the $54 area from here. All TBD.

$PYPL Higher Lows – Uptrend?NASDAQ:PYPL Clearly seems to have a lid on the upper end near $68. However, looking at the chart we have a series of Higher Lows beginning in February. There is a good chance that it will have a move to retest the $68 area. All TBD. I have an alert set just over yesterday’s high of $64.43. Should that trigger, I will open a position with a very tight stop just under 62.88, the most recent higher low. Let us see what happens.

$XBI Looking to Breakout (Again)?AMEX:XBI Firstly, I may have an unhealthy attraction to this ETF. I have been in and out of this ETF a number of times over the last few months and overall, just a few $ profit.
Having said that this has been basing Since January 2022. The longer the base the bigger the break, or so the Wall Street Axiom goes. It did breakout in February 2024 and quickly failed (I have a link below of my last idea). And there is another idiom: from failed moves come fast moves, and it did move quickly down. Now it is back to the original breakout “area” so this may have been a simple shakeout.
Here is what I like about it now: It looks to have gotten support near the 40 Week MA. It looks to be regaining the 10 Week MA (Yellow) and is solidly above the 5 Week MA. This weekly chart looks much better than the daily chart.
This is my plan, “if” the market is doing well this coming week and this moves above last week’s close of $91.18 I plan on opening a new position with a maximum stop below last week’s low of 87.68 which is about a 4% position risk. My thesis is that it can easily go back to retest the 103 – 104 area which would be about a 10% gain.
My idea, your money. If you decide you like this idea, make sure that it fits with your trading plan on your timeframe.

$TSLA Reclaims All Major Moving AveragesNASDAQ:TSLA I have taken a full sized long position pre-market on CPI news coming in at to under expectations.
I like that it has regained all major moving averages, and this gives me a very good risk reward entry. My stop will be below yesterday’s low of $174. It is even possible that I may close it out before that if it starts dropping today. All TBD.

Opening (IRA): IWM July 19th 190 Short Put... for a 2.33 credit.
Comments: Targeting the shortest duration <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. (This is actually at the 18 delta, but it was either the 190 or the 185 where I wanted to pitch my tent from a delta standpoint).
Starting to slowly deploy third quarter rungs here in broad market (IWM, QQQ, SPY) while I piddle around with shorter duration higher IV sector ETF stuff.
$FSLR Entering Stage 2 Breakout?NASDAQ:FSLR I have been watching FSLR since Feb 27th earnings. It has been whipping around in a range but in doing so it has managed to keep putting in Higher Lows. The pure definition of an uptrend. They reported earnings again on May 1st and beat expectations. Their guidance was simply in line with future estimates. However, they have gotten several upgrades to Buy or Outperform in the last 2 days, most in the $220 to $250 range.
I have started a full-sized position today with a stop just below the lower band of the current consolidation. “If” the market holds up I expect that FSLR will outperform and could easily run 20% to 30%. Only time will tell.
For a true breakout to happen it will have to get above that flat line on the current flat base. However, I like early entries closer to the 20 EMA. If you decide this trade looks good to you, please make sure it fits your trading rules. My idea but your money.

$XBI Breaks Out of DowntrendAMEX:XBI I put this trade on yesterday morning as it broke above the short term downtrend line. However, I closed it near the end of day as the whole market was giving up its gains. (I did make a small profit).
I am now back in it again as it regains the 20 EMA (green). My stop is just below today’s low which also corresponds with the 20 EMA.
It looks like there “could” be resistance in the area it is trading today. I think if it can get over yesterday’s high, we could see it test the 50 DMA in red above. That is about $4 above where it is trading currently. All to be determined.
I did have a trade idea on this back on March 17th. Link to that idea below.

Opening (IRA): IWM August 16th 170 Short Put... for a 1.78 credit.
Comments: Starting to round out my Q3 rungs here on weakness and higher IV, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. Already have June and July rungs on, so going out to August here.
Opened (IRA): IWM June/July 182/180 Short PutsComments: Added at strikes better than what I currently have on in weakness, targeting the <16 delta strikes in the respective expiries paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the small cap ETF.
June 21st 182: Filled for 1.89
July 19th 180: Filled for 2.22
I also briefly looked at QQQ and SPY, but couldn't get in at strikes better than what I currently have on, so am leaving those positions alone for now.
Opening (IRA): IWM June 21st 175/July 19th 170 Short PutsComments: Targeting the <16 delta strikes paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the small caps ETF.
Adding here on weakness, better strikes than what I currently have on in those expires.
Filled the June 21st for a 1.75 credit; the July 21st 170 for 1.76.
Opening (IRA): IWM June 21st 185 Short Put... for a 1.87 credit.
Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike in the shortest duration that pays around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market.
The ROC %-age isn't tremendously sexy here, so primarily doing this to keep theta on and burning while I work shorter duration, higher IV underlyings (e.g., SMH, XBI, GDX/GDXJ, etc.).

$SPY Does it Need a Bigger Correction?I have zoomed out to larger timeframes on AMEX:SPY to come up with some larger / longer timeframes. Here is what I started with; the weekly chart (shown) then zoomed out to the Monthly Chart (not shown) to draw the February 2009 trendline. I came back to the weekly to find the March 2020 trend. I then looked that the latest run starting in October 2023. That trend line is almost parabolic and was unsustainable.
I am not making any prediction here, but it would be prudent to have a plan for a larger correction. I have horizontal lines near the top of the chart that were drawn using the daily chart and it is possible that one of them (or none) could be support areas. It is all to be determined. Keep an open mind. Corrections can happen in price or time or a combination of both.
I would like to point out that on any of the charts that I post I am only correct about 50% of the time. My posts are more about self-accountability than anything else. However, I do hope that you find some value in the technical aspect of the posts.
Thanks for looking.
SPY min upside 5150 and up to 5330 june 6thThe chart posted is that of the spy in which I posted back in March I have NOT changed the labeling as it was correct .We are at the end of wave A down and should see a rather sharp ABC rally back up to a min of 5150 and then a pullback followed by the last wave up I do think it can reach as high as 5330 this is the alt to my 5261. We are now one of the most over sold in a few years . Best of trades WAVETIMER
