Heart Of Steel

This week is about more than just the usual market noise. OPEX is coming Friday, which will force the weak hands to fold and expose who really has grit. But beyond the numbers the world is grinding through its own brutal test. Trump is back playing puppet master with Putin after eight months of lies about ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Nvidia supposedly got approval to ship H20 chips to China. A potential game changer stuck in a geopolitical tug of war. It will be interesting to see the reaction if he implements his 100% tariffs on chips and if NVDA is really exempt.

Trade tensions with India are cracking wide open. The Fed’s latest temporary guy, a Trump appointee, is trying to shake loose rate cuts but the cracks under the surface of the US economy are glaring. Manufacturing is slowing, jobs are showing cracks, and tariffs are pushing consumer prices higher. The market’s strength is mostly a front held up by a handful of tech giants doing all the heavy lifting while the rest struggles for air.

But here is the real truth.

The will of the heart is unbreakable when you are staring down the toughest fight. When every beat is a silent promise to push through the pain and keep moving forward. That kind of strength is not flashy. It is quiet. It is real. It is the grit that holds you up when the world tries to break you.

Whether it is a market shoved to the edge by lies, politics, and overvaluation or a personal battle behind closed doors strength runs deeper than what you see on the surface. This week is about being strong to the core. No bullshit, no smoke, just raw resilience.

This week keep your heart steady and your mind sharp. Do not let the noise rattle your rhythm or the chaos break your beat. Protect your capital like it is the pulse driving your grind. Play smart, move deliberate, and remember true strength is having the heart to hold firm when everything is trying to shake you loose.

Lock in. Stay strong. Be unbreakable strong to the core.

UBER

UBER 0.00%↑ daily consolidating wedge formation. Dropped on good earnings. They are in the news this weekend for a delivery partnership with DG (Dollar General). The idea is that if we hold over 88.75 we are looking for calls, but if we lose that pivot we will head for a test of the lower trendline. This is the plan for this week.

Calls over $90.00

91c & 92c are the calls I’m watching

PRIME STYLE: 95c

PTs: 92.00 - 93.00 - 94.35 - 95.25

Puts under $88.75

88p & 87.5p on watch to the downside

PRIME STYLE: 85p

PTs: 87.77 - 86.30 - 85.40 - 84.00

TTD

TTD 0.00%↑ weekly consolidating wedge. Massive drop on earnings last week, but it held the demand zone giving this lower trendline. That needs to hold or this is going under 50 level. Bounce from that area will have us looking to buy calls. Lose that trendline and we ride the flush with puts.

Calls over $55.75

60c & 62.5c on watch

PTs: 58.00 - 60.50 - 62.50 - 64.75

Puts under $53.50

50p & 47.5p on watch here

PTs: 51.25 - 48.00 - 45.00

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS WEEK:

The cover today is a silent nod to my Dad, who is having heart surgery all day long tomorrow. I share this because I will most likely have limited access and interaction tomorrow (Monday), and possibly other days this week. However, I will reply to all messages when I can, just know this week, or at least the beginning of the week, my responses may be delayed, and my access to things may be limited at times. Thank you all for your support and understanding!

LZ

LZ 0.00%↑ monthly consolidation with price currently holding above the volume shelf. Buyers have been sniffing around lately, and this is a cheap one that could move with volume. A very easy, straightforward plan for this name this week.

Calls over $11.25

12c on watch here

PTs: 12.25 - 13.00 - 13.95 - 15.15

Puts under $10.65

10p on watch

PTs: 9.75 - 8.70 - 7.40

MS

MS 0.00%↑ ascending triangle has been flirting with breakout out to new all time highs for several weeks. This price consolidation and regaining support over the 141 level is key to moving higher. We can enter calls prior to breakout of the all time high, but remember that can also be your rejection spot. Flushing below Friday close will have us looking at puts.

Calls over $144.00

145c & 146c on watch here

PRIME STYLE: 150c

PTs: 145.00 - 147.75 - 149.90 - 150.58 - 151.75

Puts under $143.00

142p & 141p on watch

PRIME STYLE: 136p

PTs: 141.30 - 139.50 - 137.85 - 136.17

MMM

MMM 0.00%↑ daily is a setup I really like this week. 4 times this has tried to breakout over 154 level in the last few weeks, and 4 times it has been rejected. We will look for another attempt to push higher, and a break over 154.25 can send this ripping to 160+. Reject that 154 again and we will look for puts as we will break down from that daily support fast if we reject again.

Calls over $154.25

155c & 157.5c on watch here

PRIME STYLE: 160c

PTs: 156.06 - 158.00 - 159.50 - 161.75

Puts under $153.00

152.5p & 150p on watch

PRIME STYLE: 147p

PTs: 151.80 - 151.02 - 149.35 - 147.85

UPS

UPS 0.00%↑ 4 hour consolidating wedge. The orange arrows notate the 3 wicks used to find this trendline. Why does that matter? I am measuring the angle of intent here, meaning the first 2 wicks sent the angle and the 3rd gives us the timing to try for breakout. Basically, prior to closing on Friday this was not ready to fire. Now it very well may be, and this could be a big move as it is trading at Covid lows…
