Our recommendation
Since February 2024, Uber's stock (UBER) has been undergoing a correction, largely driven by concerns over the rise of robotaxi services potentially eroding the market share of traditional ride-hailing giants like Uber and Lyft. Notably, Waymo—Alphabet's autonomous vehicle division—recently expanded to Miami and now completes over 150,000 self-driving rides per week. Tesla is also set to enter the space with a planned robo-taxi launch in late 2025.
However, Uber is not sitting idle. The company, in collaboration with WeRide, has launched an autonomous mobility service in Abu Dhabi and is targeting fully driverless commercial services by late 2025 in the same region. This demonstrates Uber's proactive strategy to stay competitive in the evolving ride-hailing landscape. Beginning in early 2025, Waymo and Uber will bring autonomous ride-hailing to Austin and Atlanta, only on the Uber app.
The sharp decline in Uber's stock price—down 34% in recent weeks. The MACD indicator is showing that we shall be having a zero crossover soon hence suggesting that selling pressure may be nearing exhaustion, potentially signalling a trend reversal. The stock appears poised to recover and return to a more balanced supply-and-demand dynamic.
Despite current challenges, we expect Uber to remain resilient and successfully navigate market headwinds. The current price level presents a compelling buying opportunity, with a target price of $100.00 offering significant upside potential for investors who act now.
Current price: $60.80
Good luck and best regards.
Is the Golden Arches Losing Its Shine?McDonald's, a global fast-food icon, recently reported its most significant decline in U.S. same-store sales since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company experienced a 3.6 percent drop in the quarter ending in March, a downturn largely attributed to the economic uncertainty and diminished consumer confidence stemming from President Donald Trump's tariff policies. This performance indicates that the unpredictable nature of the trade war is prompting consumers to curb discretionary spending, directly impacting even seemingly resilient sectors like fast food through reduced customer visits.
The link between sinking consumer sentiment and tangible sales figures is evident, as economic analysts note the conversion of "soft data" (sentiment) into "hard data" (sales). While some commentators suggest that McDonald's price increases have contributed to the sales slump, the timing of the decline aligns closely with a period of heightened tariff-related anxiety and a contraction in the U.S. economy during the first quarter. This suggests that while pricing is a factor, the broader macroeconomic environment shaped by trade tensions plays a critical role.
In response, McDonald's emphasizes value offerings to attract and retain customers navigating a challenging economic landscape. The company's struggles mirror those of other businesses in the hospitality sector, which also report reduced consumer spending on dining out. The situation at McDonald's serves as a clear illustration of how complex trade policies and the resulting economic uncertainty can have far-reaching consequences, affecting diverse industries and altering consumer behavior on a fundamental level.
Microsoft’s Big Moves This Quarter | From Activision to AI AgentMicrosoft’s Revenue Surge: The Power of AI, Gaming, and Strategic Investments
Microsoft has released its Q1 FY25 earnings for the quarter ending in September
The stock saw a 6% drop, indicating the results fell short of investors' high hopes. Trading at over 30 times projected earnings for next year, expectations for Microsoft were significant.
CEO Satya Nadella stated
“Our AI business is set to exceed an annual revenue run rate of $10 billion next quarter, making it the fastest business in our history to reach this milestone.”
This means that AI will soon account for about 4% of Microsoft's total revenue in under three years a remarkable feat for a global giant.
If you need a quick summary, here are three main points:
1. ☁️ Azure’s growth is slowing. As Microsoft’s key player in the AI competition, Azure grew 34%, down slightly from 35% in the prior quarter (after adjustments). This comes as Google Cloud raised the bar, with its growth accelerating from 29% to 35% during the same period.
2. 🤖 AI growth is limited by hardware supply, as capacity struggles to meet demand. Data center expansion is a long-term process, and Microsoft is investing heavily in infrastructure, aiming for a growth boost by 2025.
3. 👨👩👧👦 Consumer-focused products like Gaming and Devices are underperforming. Although not essential to Microsoft's core business, their poor performance has impacted overall results.
Here’s a breakdown of the insights from the quarter.
Overview of today’s insights:
- New segmentation.
- Microsoft’s Q1 FY25 overview.
- Key earnings call highlights.
- Future areas to monitor.
1. New Segmentation
Revised Business Segments
In August, Microsoft announced a reorganization of its business segments, effective this quarter. The purpose? To better align financial reporting with the current business structure and strategic management.
Summary of the main changes
- Microsoft 365 Commercial revenue consolidation: All M365 commercial revenue, including mobility and security services, now falls under the Productivity and Business Processes segment.
-Copilot Pro revenue shift: Revenue from the Copilot Pro tool was moved from Productivity and Business Processes to the More Personal Computing segment under Search and news advertising.
-Nuance Enterprise reallocation: Revenue from Nuance, previously part of Intelligent Cloud, is now included in Productivity and Business Processes.
-Windows and Devices reporting combination: Microsoft now reports Windows and Devices revenue together.
Impact of These Changes:
Core Segments Overview:
In summary:
- The Productivity and Business Processes segment has grown significantly.
- The Intelligent Cloud segment has decreased due to the reallocation of Nuance and other revenue.
Products and Services Overview:
- M365 Commercial now includes Nuance, shifted from the Server products category, along with integrated mobility and security services.
- Windows & Devices have been merged into a single, slower-growth category.
Additional Insights:
- Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform, is reported within 'Server products and cloud services.' Although its growth rate is shared by management, exact revenue figures remain undisclosed.
Azure’s past growth figures have been adjusted for consistency, with the last quarter’s constant currency growth recast from 30% to 35%, setting a higher benchmark. Tracking these metrics is challenging due to limited revenue disclosure, but this recast indicates Azure's raised growth expectations.
2. Microsoft’s Q1 FY25 Performance
Financial Summary:
-Revenue: Up 16% year-over-year, reaching $65.6 billion (exceeding estimates by $1 billion). Post-Activision Blizzard acquisition in October 2023, the growth was 13% excluding the merger.

- Capacity limitations in AI persist; more infrastructure investments are planned, with reacceleration expected in H2 FY25.
- Commercial performance obligations grew 21% to $259 billion, up from 20% in Q4.
- Margins were pressured by AI infrastructure investments; Activision reduced the operating margin by 2 points.
- Capital expenditures increased by 50% to $15 billion, half dedicated to infrastructure, with further Capex growth expected.
- Shareholder returns included $9.0 billion through buybacks and dividends, matching Q4 repurchases.
Earnings Call Highlights:

Apple UpdateNot much to add to my Apple analysis. Price is behaving accordingly. As of now, price is in a spot where it needs to make a decision. Both patterns I am tracking suggest a continued move lower. The question is: will it fall to the turquoise box, implying that minor B is already complete? Or will it fall slightly lower to the grey target box competing minor B at that time.
Both patterns I am tracking point to the upper grey target box for intermediate wave (B) eventually. Intermediate (A) took just over 100 days to complete. If (B) is to follow suit, then we still have another 75 days or so until it completes. It doesn't have to take that long as no rules govern time duration. That's just an educated guess on the likely time frame we're looking at. It is for this reason I lean towards the white count. Hopefully we will find out or at least get more clues to the more immediate count this week.
Coinbase UpdatePrice continues to trade sideways. We have already tagged the 1.0, made it in between the 0.382 & 0.5, and have all the required waves in place for a top to be made. Much like Tesla, the only move higher from here in an impulsive wave is an ED. I find it much more likely that a top has already been struck and we have already begun our minor B wave. We could still make another high, but if we do I think it will be minimal and would be as an irregular b wave. Ideally, we will find out what is in store this week.
Once B starts, as of now, I expect price to fall back to the $150-$160's. Like I said, hopefully we start the move lower this week. I imagine minor B will take 2-4 weeks to complete.
Expect a break out above 23KMI involves pipeline transportation of natural gas services was in bearish trend after touching 44 in 2015. During covid 2020, it touched a low of 9 and its been consolidating between 14 to 20. With dividend yield of above 4%, its good candidate to buy and hold for 2-3 years for a target of 31.
MSTR - Next Wave UpJust made a new high.
That is likely a clue of what happens next with Bitcoin.
It was a running 3 wave 1:0.618 Golden Window correction.
That is a weak ratio and ideal for a continuing uptrend.
But most importantly it was a re-test for support:
That dip buy was there to be gobbled up.
If you didn't see it then this probably goes up and up from here 👍.
Not advice
MSFT Looking at a possible bottoming outNASDAQ:MSFT is looking at a potential bottoming out after the Microsoft has formed a bullish morning star pattern above 123.6% Fibonacci extension level of 383.73-455.48 range. Furthermore, the strong bullish bar was seen closing above the gap and the previous resistance turned support low of 377.16.
Ichimoku has yet to show a clear bullish trend but the slight closure above the 9-period conversion line may see a strong signal.
MACD is still bearish over the longer-term period
Mid-term Stochastic showing oversold crossover signal
23-period ROC is showing a bullish divergence
Volume remain healthy.
Wyckoff analysis - Larger range from 8 Jul 2024 (Buying climax) is looking at a distribution. Hence, current rebound is likely to be in a sign of weakness phase.
Recommend to buy swing in 1-week to a month.
Rotating out of defensive, bear trap seen on CokeNYSE:KO had enjoyed a strong upside since Jan 2025, netting a gain of more than 20%. However, recent price action has suggest that Coke is looking at a near-term correction after a bearish morning star was see forming at 72.00 psychological resistance. Furthermore, the stock has formed a bull trap where it fails to close above 3% after breaking 72.00.
MACD remain bullish on the longer-term horizon but stochastic oscillator has shown an overbought signal and forms a bearish divergence. 23-period ROC also display similar outlook. Volume has picked up and is likely going to see further downside pressure.
Key support to watch are at 68, 65 and 63
Plan for yhe next week or two befor quarterly earningsWeekly pre earnings plan.
If you’re already in (or plan to buy this week):
Buy Range: Between $1.26–$1.33 (on dips above 20 SMA).
Stop Loss: Close below $1.13 (or $1.11 if giving more room).
First Target: $1.36–$1.38 breakout.
Second Target: $1.50–$1.60 post-breakout.
If waiting for confirmation:
Only buy on breakout candle above $1.38 with volume > daily average.
Add more if it holds above $1.40 for 1–2 sessions.
Earnings Game Plan (Advanced Prep)
If no breakout before earnings, wait for reaction.
If breakout happens before earnings, either:
Trim partial profits before earnings to reduce risk, or
Hold and use a tight stop (e.g., break-even or below 20 SMA).
Earnings could be the catalyst, so staying flexible is key.
Here’s a breakdown of what the chart is showing:
SMAs:
Red (200 SMA): Clearly acting as long-term support, trending upward.
White (50 SMA): Currently flattening, potentially acting as short-term resistance.
Blue (20 SMA): Curling upward and about to cross above the 50 SMA, which would form your bullish red-white-blue alignment.
Bollinger Bands:
Price touched the upper Bollinger Band and pulled back — a classic resistance point in range-bound or low-volatility setups.
Still holding above the 20 SMA, suggesting strength.
RSI:
RSI is above 50 now (around 50.33), showing neutral to mildly bullish momentum.
The RSI is also crossing above its moving average, another subtle bullish confirmation.
MACD:
MACD line is crossing above the signal line, and the histogram just turned green — a fresh bullish crossover.
While the move is small, it's a constructive signal, especially with price action holding key levels.
What this all means:
Kulr is sitting in a coiled setup:
The SMAs are tightening.
Price is compressing between support (20 SMA) and resistance (50 SMA & Bollinger top).
Momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) are waking up.
A bullish 20/50 crossover is imminent.
This is the kind of setup where a breakout could follow within days. If price closes convincingly above $1.36–$1.38 with volume, it could trigger more buying.
Tesla (TSLA) 4-Hour Chart Analysis: BBofVWAP Strategy in ActionTesla Inc. (TSLA) has been gaining strong momentum lately, and on the 4-hour chart, my BBofVWAP strategy has shown a notable signal. In this post, I’ll walk through how this custom strategy works and what the latest price action could mean for traders.
🔍 What is the BBofVWAP Strategy?
The BBofVWAP (Bollinger Bands of VWAP) strategy I use combines two powerful tools:
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) – to anchor the trade bias
Bollinger Bands – to track volatility and determine key exit points
Here’s how it works:
✅ Entry Point: When VWAP crosses above the Pivot Point and stays within the Bollinger Bands.
💡 Exit Condition: VWAP crossing below the lower Bollinger Band signals an exit.
💰 Profit Booking:
Partial profits are taken near R3 resistance level
Or when the price drops below the upper Bollinger Band
This method filters out noise and rides trends effectively while maintaining solid risk management.
📊 Current TSLA Chart Insight (4h)
In the current 4-hour setup:
We entered the trade at a pivot breakout (highlighted with a blue arrow on the chart).
VWAP continued to trade within the Bollinger Bands, keeping the position alive.
Price has climbed toward $287.25 and is hovering near key resistance levels.
R3 (328.92) acts as a potential profit-taking zone.
If VWAP crosses under the lower band, we’ll be out – clean and disciplined.
📌 Why This Strategy Works
🎯 Clear rules-based system for entries and exits
📉 Eliminates emotional decision-making
⚖️ Balances trend-following with mean-reversion logic
🔁 Works well across large-cap, high-volume stocks like TSLA
🧠 Final Thoughts on TSLA Setup
Tesla’s recent strength, combined with this BBofVWAP setup, gives a bullish but cautiously managed outlook. As always, managing risk with technical levels like VWAP, Pivot Points, and Bollinger Bands provides a more structured approach to volatile tickers.
Take - Two Interactive SoftwareIn this idea, I will analyze the current situation of TTWO and continue the analysis I previously carried out ( ).
Following everything that was mentioned in the previous idea, it has been said that GTA VI will only be released on May 26, 2026 (something that can only be confirmed with 100% certainty on that day).
This same news delayed, to some extent, the upward trend that could have occurred with the release of the game (GTA VI) and its sales this year.
Of course, this company doesn't rely solely on GTA, and I believe that with the release of other games, the company will continue its upward trend. However, I think that with the sales of GTA VI, there will be a strong bullish trend in 2026.
This is a long-term analysis, which should also be accompanied by solid fundamental analysis.
The long position tool shown on the chart serves only as a support for the trade entry.
Several moving averages and a Parabolic SAR were also used in this analysis, to which special attention should be given.
Hello all investorsHello all investors, as u can see now the media wants u to believe there will be a recession and everything is bad; and once again im here to tell you that the opposite will happen once again like always.
The media is here to scare you out of ur positions and the banks buy the shares off of you, the media is full of con arists and they bring fake billionares on their shows to bribe you into buying shit, hold onto ur shares of Microstrategy and dollar cost average into this gem; Microstategy is a monster forever like Nvidia, Metaplanet.
Could you imagine if someone tried to tell someone to sell their gold in the start of the gold standard days because a little downturn is around the corner???? Microstrategy isnt going anywhere and bitcoin is going to become the new gold (already is) boomers still hold into gold and newgen investors buy bitcoin.
TSLA technically turntUP... so the stock pops on a sob story. there will be action. pullback possible, but doesn't have to. 2-3 week rallies expected while the getting is good.
*weekly bullish close (engulfing)
*pullbacks should not be lower than prev week high (270 good)
*it's big tech earnings, so running during other strong tech success while down is a TSLA thing
