Traders,
It certainly was an eventful week, and many of the adjustments and thoughts shared last week proved beneficial. Regarding my trading, while I had some success with swing trades, notably with my position in NBIS, as outlined at great length in my most recent IA meeting, the absolute consistency came from momentum trading. While that will continue to be my focus for the upcoming week, here are some of my top intraday and swing ideas for the week ahead.
(NASDAQ: RGTI) Shook the tree and squeezed out some stubborn shorts, as discussed ahead of time in my most recent IA meeting. That push over $15 is precisely what I wanted to see before considering a re-short. For RGTI and the basket of other quantum names, Friday’s selloff offered tremendous opportunity on the short side. The action on Friday was a significant shift in momentum and character change, given the relentless and persistent selling.

As I have said before, this theme is crowded, and therefore, I expect choppy action and wider-than-expected moves at times. As a result, I’m not looking to chase lows to establish a short position. Instead, I am looking for a push toward resistance and supply near $14.5 – $15 and fail to get short versus the HOD (RGTI). Once the lower high is confirmed, I will be positioned short, targeting a move toward $13 support to trim my position and trail my stop using the day’s HOD, targeting $11 – $10 as final targets over multiple days.
Then, to briefly outline other watches for the week:
(NASDAQ: GOOGL) Similar to the several strong opening drive plays we saw last week, I’m keeping a close eye on GOOGL for an opening drive through $200. If relative strength and volume are present off the open and through the key level, I will look to get long with an LOD stop, targeting an ATR upmove.

(NASDAQ: NBIS) Last week, this was a standout swing for me from $ 37’s initial entry and exited on the extension to high $43s on Friday. Going forward, I would consider a re-entry for a multi-day swing if the stock can put in a few higher lows above $40 for entry versus the lows, targeting a re-test of recent highs. As long as the uptrend and pattern holds, I’ll keep this on my radar for re-entries.

(NASDAQ: AVGO) Similar to GOOGL, AVGO continues to consolidate near 52-week highs. Suppose the stock can break above last week’s high on elevated volume and relative strength. In that case, I’d look for a long versus LOD or consolidation lows intraday, depending on the intraday setup, targeting an ATR.

Nuclear Theme (NNE, OKLO) Major breakout this week with favorable tailwinds. In an ideal world, they continue to extend to the upside, setting up a significant mean reversion A+ opportunity later in the week. However, I am also open to the idea of failed follow-through against Friday’s high for intraday opportunities on the short side. If they hold up and have a couple more days extension to the upside, they will quickly become my sole focus as I stalk the reversion opportunity.

Friday’s Small Cap Runners (NVNI, EVAX, ELAB, ALUR) Tremendous volume and range on Friday in these names. Now that some overhead supply exists, I will have alerts set in all of them for potential pops back toward key levels from Friday and 2-day VWAP. If they push back toward key levels and fail, I would look for reactive shorts versus the lower high, strictly for an intraday short scalp.
