5 stocks that shook the market in MayMay 2025 turned out to be a landmark month for the U.S. stock market. Several top companies posted impressive gains driven by explosive demand for AI technologies, advancements in autonomous transport, and strong corporate strategy. Here are the five market leaders that set the tone in May: 1. Nvidia – The AI Powerhouse Nvidia (#NVIDIA) surged 25% in May, becoming the most valuable U.S. company with a market cap of $3.45 trillion — surpassing even Microsoft. The rally was fueled by stunning data center results, with revenue hitting $39.1 billion (+427% YoY). Its new Blackwell chip series has already sparked massive interest from leading AI developers. UBS analysts raised their price target to $175, predicting further growth in high-performance computing. 2. Apple – A return to growth Apple (#Apple) saw a solid 7% gain, rebounding from earlier struggles. The company announced $500 billion in long-term investments over the next five years to create new jobs and manufacture AI servers in the U.S. This move restored investor confidence and supported the stock’s recovery. 3. Tesla – Robotaxis drive momentum Tesla (#Tesla) jumped 25%, boosted by the announcement of its robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, scheduled for June 12. Combined with improving market conditions and a pause in EU tariff pressure, Tesla shares reclaimed center stage. Wedbush analysts see potential for the stock to hit $500 as the company expands its autonomous and AI-driven initiatives. 4. Moderna – Biotech breakthroughs Moderna (#Moderna) gained 7% following positive results from new cancer drug trials. The company also revealed plans to cut operational costs by $1.7 billion by 2027, aiming to boost overall efficiency. Investors welcomed the strategic pivot beyond COVID-related products. 5. Alcoa – Aluminum and geopolitics Alcoa (#Alcoa) rose 6.5% on reports that the U.S. may ban aluminum imports from Russia. This geopolitical development, along with steady dividends and renewed investor interest in commodities, positioned Alcoa as a top-performing metals stock for the month. May 2025 confirmed the market’s focus on AI, autonomous transport, biotech, and raw materials. Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Moderna, and Alcoa led the charge — and FreshForex analysts recommend riding this momentum for active trading on high-performing stocks.

UBER results on quick flips for this ticker--Long @ 82.53 If I ranked the performance of UBER with my algo vs. all the other large caps I trade, it would rank right near the top with regard to return per day held. I don't rank it, because I don't have enough historical data to include it in my rankings. Its limited results are impressive, however. 196-3 (the 3 are open from the last 3 days) with an average gain of 2.83% and an average hold period of 10 trading days. That's around 7x the daily average return of the market overall. Additionally, it is currently right at support from the most recent low in early May and the high in February. On a longer scale, it is in a long-term uptrend and only 10 trading days removed from its all-time high. That makes me even more convinced that this is just a normal correction in an uptrend. The pullback has been significant, though, down 9 out of the 10 trading days since that ATH. However, the 5 down days in a row is a solid short term contrarian indicator, historically speaking. I won't add daily if it keeps falling, in the interests of maintaining portfolio balance and diversification, but I am open to tactically adding to the position. The plan is for a FPC exit, as long as the return is > 0.10% if that FPC comes on day 1 of the trade. Below that, I will hold until a satisfactory exit point is reached. As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.

TSLA: Continues to form a Cup and Handle reversal patternHey folks, Just a quick analysis of NASDAQ:TSLA on the daily chart. Compared to my last analysis, price has fallen a bit since, as a new flag (handle) continues to form following a cup pattern. - Cup and Handle pattern forming. The handle would also count as a bull flag. This is known as a cup and handle reversal pattern, after a downtrend. So yes, it is possible for a stock to reverse its trend through the formation of a cup and handle reversal pattern (as you can see in the chart). - Major resistance at $366 which marks the peak of the flag (handle) pattern. This would have to be broken in order for the cup and handle to be valid. - Volume has also been decreasing during the formation of this pattern: this is typical amongst Cup and Handle patterns, and generally a positive sign. Note: Not financial advice.

"GOOGL Technical Play: MA Bounce for Swing Traders!"🚀 GOOGL Stock Heist: The Ultimate AI & Ad-Tech Gold Rush (Swing Trade Plan) 🌟 Market Pirates, Ready to Raid? 🏴‍☠️💰 🔥 Thief Trading Blueprint for GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.) 🎯 Entry (The Vault is Open!) Pullback Breakout Strategy: Buy Zone: Wait for a pullback near the Moving Average "Wall" (e.g., 200-day LSMA, depending on trend alignment). Confirmation: Enter long if price bounces off the MA with volume support or breaks above a tight consolidation. Exact Entry: $175.00 (key psychological level + MA confluence). Use buy limits for precision. Breakout Add-On: If GOOGL clears $180 with momentum, consider adding to the position. 🛑 Stop Loss (Escape Route) SL: Place below the recent swing low (4H/1D timeframe) or 2-3% below entry (~$170.50 if entering at $175). Trailing SL: Adjust upward as price climbs to lock profits. 🏆 Target 🎯: $200.00 (The Ad-Tech & AI Jackpot!) Why $200?

BRK.B: Channel-Bound & Targeting New HighsThis chart for Berkshire Hathaway Class B (BRK.B) presents a clear and actionable technical setup, operating within a well-defined long-term bullish channel. Dominant Bullish Channel: BRK.B is clearly trading within a well-established, upward-sloping channel. This channel dictates the long-term trend, confirming a robust bullish bias as price consistently finds support at the lower band and resistance at the upper band. Recent Pullback from All-Time Highs: After reaching its "All Time High" around the 530- 540 resistance zone, the stock has experienced a healthy corrective pullback, aligning with the typical behavior within an ascending channel. Key Support Levels Identified for Re-accumulation: The chart highlights two critical support zones for potential re-entry or accumulation: a primary support between 470− 480, which perfectly aligns with the lower boundary of the active bullish channel, and a deeper, secondary support at 430 - 440 should the first level fail. Clear Upside Target Post-Support Validation: Following a potential bounce from either of the identified support levels, the analysis projects a renewed push towards the "All Time High" zone (530-540). This move represents a compelling 8% to 10% upside target from the current vicinity, validating the strength of the bullish trend and the expected retest of previous resistance. This reinforces a "buy the dip" strategy within the confines of this established channel.

MRK Merck On the Verge of a Breakout? Unusual Calls !!Merck (MRK) is setting up for what could be a high-probability breakout. The stock has been in a falling wedge pattern for several months — a classic technical formation that often precedes sharp upside moves. Price action has now compressed to the end of the wedge, and we may be on the brink of a bullish resolution. 🔍 Technical Setup Falling Wedge Pattern nearing completion Price currently hovering near long-term support ($78.25) Strong bullish divergence forming on momentum indicators (RSI/MACD) The falling wedge is typically a reversal pattern, and given how deep MRK has pulled back from its highs ($134+), the risk/reward here looks compelling. 🔥 Options Flow Today’s options market added fuel to the fire: 48,000 call contracts traded expiring this Friday This sudden surge in short-dated call buying signals aggressive positioning for an imminent move This kind of volume is not retail-driven — it points to potential institutional interest 💡 The Bullish Case With the technical breakout structure in place and strong confirmation from options flow, the case for a bullish reversal is growing. If MRK can close above wedge resistance with volume, it opens the door to a quick move toward $85+, possibly even higher in the coming weeks.
