• The broad market is in a healthy correction, not a breakdown

• Money is rotating out of AI/mega-cap names into the broader market — a bullish sign for breadth

• I'm back from a 2-week vacation and back on the alerts

📈 Market Note

The "Great Rotation" is still in play. Profit-taking money is flowing out of the Magnificent Seven (down ~12.7% in June) and into financials, healthcare, and small-caps — the Russell 2000 has been outperforming large-caps in recent weeks. This is positioning and profit-taking, not a demand problem, and broadening breadth like this is exactly what you want to see in a healthy market. Translation: the setups below are lining up in the areas money is actually moving into.

Best Stocks To Buy Today

$CF ( ▲ 2.33% ) – Long Term Trade

• The Company Profile: CF Industries is a global leader in agricultural fertilizers and nitrogen products. With 20% YoY growth over the last four quarters and a recently increased dividend, it serves as a highly profitable, defensive powerhouse while the tech sector cools.

• The Macro/Monthly View: The stock is staging a historic 4-year breakout dating back to 2022. It recently formed a 4-month base that acted as a perfect pullback to test that 4-year breakout level. Remember the rule: big bases lead to big moves. Since it sat for 4 years, this stock possesses the fuel to run for 2 years.

• The Daily/Weekly Setup: The weekly chart just printed a strong close over the 10-Week Moving Average.

• The Trigger: Wait for a confirmed move above that recent high, and then start building your position.

• ⚠️ Warning: This operates in a generally weak industry right now, so focus your capital strictly on this specific leader. It has a low ATR (Average True Range), meaning you can safely allocate a slightly larger chunk of your account to it.

$ANET ( ▲ 0.03% ) – Long Term Trade

• The Company Profile: Arista Networks builds the high-performance networking gear and software that connects AI systems and cloud infrastructure. Even as primary AI software cools, backbone hardware providers like Arista remain essential to the global data center build-out.

• The Strategy: We are actively tracking the daily and monthly charts as the stock digests its previous run and sets up its next structural entry point.

The market is shifting. Over the last few weeks, primary AI and tech stocks took a much-needed, heavy hit as institutional algorithms harvested profits from an over-extended sector. But that capital isn't sitting on the sidelines—money is aggressively diversifying and rotating straight into beaten-down value plays and defensive giants.

The biggest fundamental news of the week dropped on Friday: the government officially launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. Starting July 1, Zepbound and Foundayo will be available to eligible Medicare Part D members for a flat $50 monthly copay. The market had spent six months pricing in government pushback as a major headwind for weight-loss drugs. Instead, this policy shift instantly unlocks a massive 20-million patient volume tailwind, sending mega-cap pharma surging to new All-Time Highs.

Amateur traders get chopped up trying to buy the news after the fact, or forcing long trades in a cooling tech sector. But we stick to our golden rule: The market does not reward activity. It rewards positioning.

We don't chase headlines; we let the news act as the validation for the massive, multi-month bases we have already been mapping. The healthcare leaders on today's list have spent months coiling, shaking out weak retail hands, and quietly building institutional support. Now, the fundamental news has caught up with the technical charts, and the breakout volume is pouring in.

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

$LLY ( ▲ 0.85% ) Long Term Trade

• The Company Profile: Eli Lilly is a global pharmaceutical titan and undisputed market leader in cardiometabolic health and oncology. They just scored a massive double-catalyst: positive European regulatory backing for their leukemia drug Jaypirca, and broad Medicare $50/month coverage for their blockbuster weight-loss drugs, dramatically expanding their total addressable market.

• The Macro/Monthly View: The stock has carved out a massive Base-on-Base structure on the monthly chart, forming a tight 5-month consolidation sitting directly on top of a previous 15-month base. Remember the rule: big bases lead to big moves!

• The Daily/Weekly Setup: We just witnessed a deliberate retail shakeout followed by an immediate, authoritative recovery of the key 50-Day Moving Average.

• The Trigger: The stock broke out, pulled back in an orderly fashion to test and confirm the structural breakout level, and then exploded to new All-Time Highs backed by a massive 235% Relative Volume surge. It remains one of the absolute strongest healthcare stocks on the planet, displaying extreme relative strength while the broader market was weak.

• 💡 Tip: Use $ELIL for a 2x leveraged ETF.

The headlines this week are massive. Apple just announced a historic partnership to manufacture chips stateside with Intel. The U.S. government is actively injecting billions into semiconductor manufacturing. Meanwhile, global inflation data and raw material shortages are forcing hardware giants to hike prices just to keep up with the soaring demand for AI data centers.

Amateur traders are getting chopped up trying to buy these news events after the fact, chasing gaps and forcing trades in a volatile market. But we stick to our golden rule: The market does not reward activity. It rewards positioning.

We don't chase headlines; we let the news act as the catalyst for the massive, multi-month bases we have already been stalking. The aerospace, energy, and infrastructure names on today's list have spent the last 6 months quietly coiling and shaking out weak hands. Now, the fundamental news has caught up with the technical charts, the institutional money is rotating, and the volume is pouring in.

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

$APH ( ▼ 1.27% ) – (Amphenol) Long Term Trade

• The Company Profile: Amphenol is a global leader in high-tech interconnect systems and sensors, experiencing record sales growth driven directly by the AI and IT data communications boom.

• The Macro/Monthly View: The stock has built a pristine 7-month base. Remember the playbook rule: big bases lead to big moves!

• The Daily/Weekly Setup: We are seeing constructive shakeouts on both the weekly and daily charts designed to trap weak hands before the next leg up.

• The Trigger: The stock is currently sitting at All-Time Highs backed by incredibly strong fundamentals, including high ROI, EPS, and Revenue growth. Since there is no high-volume breakout just yet, the strategy is to build a pilot position now and add heavily on pullbacks to the 10-Day and 20-Day EMAs.

$FTAI ( ▲ 1.85% ) – Long Term Trade

• The Company Profile: FTAI Aviation owns and maintains commercial jet engines, generating highly scalable cash flow by capturing deep market share in the aerospace maintenance and exchange sector.

• The Macro/Monthly View: We are looking at a classic Base-on-Base formation on the monthly chart. After completing a beautiful Cup and Handle, the stock has now formed a tight 4-5 month base.

• The Daily/Weekly Setup: The weekly chart is filled with deliberate shakeouts engineered to clear out retail traders.

• The Trigger: The stock is surviving these shakeouts and coiling tightly for its next structural expansion.

The headline that matters this week: the US and Iran have agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Oil is slumping, the war premium is draining out of the market, and risk is flipping back on. That's the green light a lot of these setups were waiting for.

The broad market has been choppy, but underneath the noise the leadership is rotating into hard assets, fintech, and AI hardware — and the strongest names are tipping their hand early.

Copper just cleared a 5-year base, dragging the miners with it. The financial sector is waking back up as names like $HOOD ( ▼ 5.72% ) and $SOFI ( ▼ 0.23% ) recover. And elite AI-hardware supply chains keep absorbing every dip without breaking.

The market does not reward activity. It rewards positioning. So today we're not chasing — we're getting in front of three leaders that are building tight, low-risk bases right at the edge of a breakout.

Here's what I'm watching.

Best Stocks To Buy Today

$CLS ( ▼ 0.83% ) - (Celestica) – Long Term Trade

• The Monthly View: Characterized by an exceptionally tight 6-month base featuring a distinct Triple Bottom and rock-solid monthly price action. The stock has proven itself by staying incredibly strong even in a weak market.

• The Daily/Weekly View: It recently cleared a major breakout and has spent the last 4 weeks building a tight base to test the initial breakout level.

• The Technical Trigger: Bouncing perfectly off the rising 200-Day Daily Simple Moving Average (SMA), backed by elite industry tailwinds and rock-solid fundamentals.

• 💡 Tip: Use $CSEX ( ▼ 1.57% ) for a 2x leveraged ETF.

$HBM ( ▼ 2.21% ) - (Hudbay Minerals) – Long Term Trade

The Macro Picture: Stock is in the middle of forming a 4-month base — a consolidation after an 8-month run that itself broke out of a 13-month base. Big bases, big moves, stacked on top of each other.

The Setup: A clean breakout and retest back to breakout levels. On the weekly and daily it's forming a Cup and Handle pushing toward all-time highs — a great spot to build a position.

The Trigger: The stock is following copper, which just broke out of a 5-year base. Fundamentals look great, and peers in the same sector ( $TGB ( ▼ 1.88% ) ) are flashing the same strong patterns — sector confirmation.

HBM Weekly

HBM Daily

$DAVE ( ▼ 0.48% ) – Long Term Trade

The Macro Picture: An 11-month base — a big base setting up big moves — with the stock looking to break to all-time highs.

The Setup: A weekly Cup and Handle with a notably tight handle. Price is coiling to break above $300 for the first time. Stocks like round numbers, and Livingstone's rules favor buying strength into new highs.

The Trigger: Strong, growing fundamentals paired with a recovering financial sector — names like $HOOD ( ▼ 5.72% ) and $SOFI ( ▼ 0.23% ) are leading fintech back, and DAVE is riding that strength.

The stock market is maintaining a strong, powerful uptrend, completely shaking off the poor performance from the first six months of the year.

But the real story right now is breadth. Money is aggressively rotating out of over-extended sectors, and while some primary AI stocks cool down, capital is flooding into previously sleeping giants across other industries.

Amateur traders get chopped up chasing minor swings and forcing trades, but we stick to our golden rule: The market does not reward activity. It rewards positioning.

We focus relentlessly on massive, multi-month bases and undeniable sector leaders because we are hunting for asymmetric bets. When you align a pristine big-base breakout with a broadening market environment, you are setting yourself up for massive 1:10, 1:20, or even 1:40 risk-to-reward ratios. To capture those monster runs, execution must be flawless: cut losers the absolute second they violate a stop, and let proven winners run.

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

Best Stocks To Buy Today

$CLS ( ▼ 0.83% ) - (Celestica) – Long Term Trade

• The Monthly View: Characterized by an exceptionally tight 6-month base featuring a distinct Triple Bottom and rock-solid monthly price action. The stock has proven itself by staying incredibly strong even in a weak market.

• The Daily/Weekly View: It recently cleared a major breakout and has spent the last 4 weeks building a tight base to test the initial breakout level.

• The Technical Trigger: Bouncing perfectly off the rising 200-Day Daily Simple Moving Average (SMA), backed by elite industry tailwinds and rock-solid fundamentals.

$HBM ( ▼ 2.21% ) - (Hudbay Minerals) – Long Term Trade

• The Monthly View: The stock is currently in the middle of forming a healthy 4-month base. This consolidation is highly constructive, coming right after a powerful 8-month run which originally broke out of a massive 13-month base!

• The Daily/Weekly View: On the shorter timeframes, the stock is carving out a textbook Cup and Handle pattern heading right toward All-Time Highs. This is a classic, low-risk spot to build a heavy position.

• The Fundamental Catalyst: $HBM is following the physical Copper market, which just broke out of an enormous 5-year macro base. The fundamentals look pristine, and peer stocks in the same sector like $TGB ( ▼ 1.88% ) are showing similarly explosive patterns.

HBM Weekly

$AA ( ▼ 6.13% ) - (Alcoa) – Long Term Trade

• The Monthly View: Building a solid 5-month base right at All-Time Highs. Remember the playbook rule: Big bases lead to big moves.

• The Daily/Weekly View: We are looking at a powerful 20-week base structured as a "Base on Base" (a 9-week tight consolidation sitting right on top of an 11-week base).

• The Technical Trigger: This base-on-base formation creates a tightly coiled spring on the weekly chart that typically leads to a violent upward expansion. The Aluminum industry is incredibly strong right now, and peers like $CENX ( ▼ 2.58% ) look absolutely spectacular.

The money is aggressively rotating, and it is flowing straight into the backbone of the market: the AI infrastructure and data processing leaders.

We saw the primary AI giants move first, but now the stocks that support that infrastructure are starting to ignite. When a massive sector moves, you must always ask: "Who else profits from this?" We are hunting for asymmetric bets in these secondary movers—the setups that offer massive 1:10 or 1:20 risk-to-reward ratios.

The setups on today's list are coiled tight, backed by massive volume, and emerging from the kind of big bases that lead to monster runs.

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

Best Stocks To Buy Today

$ASML ( ▼ 2.09% ) - Long term trade

• The Setup: A solid 4-month base. Remember the golden rule: big bases lead to big moves. This is a premier "pick and shovel" play in the semiconductor sector that supports the entire AI theme.

• The Trigger: We saw a clean breakout followed by a textbook pullback to the entry level. It just gave us the bounce we were waiting for.

• 💡 Tip: Use $ASMU ( ▼ 4.41% ) for a 2x leveraged ETF.

$RGTI ( ▲ 0.07% ) - Long term trade

• The Monthly/Weekly Signal: The weekly chart shows a "cheat" entry that has officially been broken out of. On the monthly, we have a CPR (Closing Price Reversal), which is a major signal for long-term bullish movement.

• The Macro Picture: It is currently emerging from a 6-month base. When you combine a big base with a monthly reversal, the potential is spectacular.

• 💡 Tip: Use $RGTX ( ▼ 0.43% ) for a 2x leveraged ETF.

$CIFR ( ▼ 0.9% ) (Cipher Mining) - Long term trade

• The Setup: This is a resilient 6-month base filled with deliberate shakeouts to trap weak hands. A previous breakout attempt on 257% Rvol failed, but the stock has now reset perfectly into a handle.

• The Pattern: It is forming a VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern). Coils this tight usually create huge, explosive pops.

• The Trigger: The Monthly RSI is bouncing perfectly off the 60 level. Bases of 4+ months create the best long-term moves, and this one has shown massive relative strength in a weak market.

• 💡 Tip: Use $CIFU ( ▼ 2.83% ) for a 2x leveraged ETF.

The market has finally cooled down after 6-8 weeks of incredibly strong, explosive action. This is completely expected—many parts of the market became over-extended and simply needed time to digest. I expect the broader indices to sit down for a bit, consolidate, and then continue their strong upward move later on.

For now, the energy sector is where the money is flowing. Oil stocks are the only true movers showing massive relative strength.

While amateur traders get chopped up trying to force trades in a cooling, sideways market, we remember our golden rule:

$YPF ( ▲ 2.54% ) - Long term trade

• The Setup: We are looking at a massive 18-month breakout! When a stock breaks out of a base this large, the ensuing run can last for a long while. It is currently executing a textbook "cheat" entry.

• The Context: Oil stocks in Argentina are showing incredible relative strength right now, going up aggressively, especially with peers like $VIST already breaking out.

• ⚠️ Warning: This is an Argentinian stock, which means it carries geopolitical and currency risks. Be careful and manage your position size!

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

$BLDP ( ▼ 1.64% ) (Ballard Power Systems) - Long term trade

• The Setup: We have an incredibly strong signal on the monthly chart. The stock just printed a massive Green Line Breakout emerging from a solid 6-month base.

• The Trigger: The breakout was fueled by extreme institutional buying, registering a massive 484% Relative Volume surge.

• ⚠️ Warning: This is a highly speculative stock. While the momentum is incredible, you must be disciplined and look to exit as soon as it becomes over-extended.

BLDP

$CIFR ( ▼ 0.9% ) (Cipher Mining) - Long term trade

• The Setup: Operating in an incredibly strong sector, this stock showed immense relative strength during the recent weak market. It has spent the last 6 months building a massive base filled with constructive shakeouts.

• The Pattern: The stock is actively contracting and forming a textbook VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern). Coils like this create huge, explosive pops when they finally break.

• The Trigger: We are seeing a clean breakout on 257% Relative Volume. Plus, the Monthly RSI is perfectly bouncing off the key 60 level—a highly bullish signal.

• The Strategy: Bases of 4 months or more create massive long-term moves. This is the perfect time to start building your position!

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 continue to be led by the secular sector winners we’ve been tracking for months. Right now, the rotation is heavily concentrated in the memory and semiconductor names tied directly to AI infrastructure.

While the broader market chops around and digests, amateur traders are getting chopped up trying to catch every minor swing. But here is the golden rule of this newsletter:

Why do we focus so relentlessly on massive, multi-month bases and undeniable sector leaders? Because we are hunting for asymmetric bets. When you align a pristine big-base breakout with the exact right market environment, you aren't looking for a quick scalp. You are setting yourself up for massive 1:10, 1:20, or even 1:40 risk-to-reward ratios.

To capture those monster runs, the execution has to be flawless. It entails cutting our losers the absolute second they violate our stops, and having the patience to let our proven winners run. We are highly selective—only the highest-quality names showing proper technical confirmation get our capital.

Here are the exact setups we are positioning for today.

• The Context: Crypto-related stocks like $MSTR, $COIN, and $BLSH are all showing strong action right now, providing excellent sector tailwinds.

• The Monthly Signal: Very strong monthly signal. The stock is actively testing the composite and RSI crossovers!

The market is weak, and the sectors that were holding up the indices are finally starting to crack.

When the market is in a confirmed downtrend, trying to find long setups is like trying to catch a falling knife. Instead, we adapt. We look for the stocks that tried to break out, trapped a bunch of eager buyers, and are now failing violently at their moving averages.

Remember the "Aha" Moment we talked about: If you ever feel confused looking at a downward trend, invert your chart's Y-axis. A terrible, crashing stock looks like a beautiful, picture-perfect breakout when flipped upside down.

Today, we are targeting two drastically weakening sectors—Semiconductors and Crypto Miners—and looking at the exact technical triggers that signal a massive leg down.

Here are the top short candidates on my watch list right now.

Remember: When stocks fall, they don’t crash for long so these are faster moves, its okay to sit out if not interested

Tech Short Candidates Right Now

$CORZ ( ▼ 0.38% ) (Core Scientific) – Shorting Candidate

• The Macro Picture: A weak stock in a weak market, dragged down by a completely failing sector.

• The Pattern: The chart has formed a textbook Head and Shoulders topping pattern, signaling major distribution.

• The Trigger: It is currently failing right at the 50-Day Moving Average. This is the exact spot where institutions are unloading shares.

CORZ Daily

$CIFR ( ▼ 0.9% ) (Cipher Mining) – Shorting Candidate

• The Pattern: The price action looks like an Inverse Ascending Triangle (a descending triangle breakdown). The floor is getting heavy.

• The Trigger: The stock is trapped under a falling 50-Day Moving Average and is completely failing to cross above it. Every bounce gets sold.

The stock downtrend continues, and the technical damage is getting real. The Nasdaq 100 is now trading below both the 10-week and 30-week moving averages. Even worse, the 10-week just crossed under the 30-week moving average. In technical trading, this is a classic sign of a massive, Stage 4 downtrend.

But you do not have to be scared. We have witnessed artificial, headline-driven market crashes before. Look at the 2020 COVID crash—the market dropped over 30% but ended the year up over 15%. The exact same thing happened in 2025 during the Donald Trump tariff shock; we saw a rapid 25% drop, only to finish the year up 15%.

These types of bear markets are often "artificial." Eventually, the government steps in, prints money, solves the liquidity problem, and the market returns to normal.

So, what does this tough environment mean for you? It brings two massive opportunities, and Profit Punch is here to guide you through both:

1. Profit on the way down: We are going to find the best, most vulnerable setups and short the market.

2. Stalk the future leaders: The stocks that hold up well and refuse to crash right now are going to be your biggest gainers when the market eventually comes back to life.

Let's dive into the strategy.

🧠 The "Aha" Moment: Inverting the Chart - Study this again!

Shorting can feel unnatural because we are trained to look for stocks going up. But the truth is, shorting is just longing, inverted.

When the market environment is good, we want to be looking for stocks to long. But when the market turns—as we are seeing right now with indices like the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ struggling—our strategy needs to adapt.

Today, I want to share my notes on how I look for stocks to short, and how you can actually profit from a downward trend.

The biggest secret? It’s much simpler than you think.

The Two Main Short Setups

Before we look at individual stocks, we need to understand what makes a prime candidate for a short. There are two main setups I look for:

Setup A: The Failed Breakout (Trend Reversal) This happens when a stock has been in an uptrend, tries to break out to new highs, but completely fails. It creates a "fake out" that traps eager buyers. When those buyers panic and sell, the momentum reverses, turning an uptrend into a downtrend.

Setup B: The Failed Recovery (Trend Continuation) This happens when a stock is already in a free fall. It tries to bounce and recover, but it fails to hold the momentum, gets rejected at a resistance level (like a moving average), and continues its free fall.

The beautiful irony of the market: Many stocks that are perfect short candidates today were actually previously great setups to go long. They just failed to execute. When a great long setup fails, it often becomes a great short.

Need Help Timing These Trades?

The charts below will show you the "what" and the "why," but the "when" is the hardest part of trading. Shorting requires precise timing because the downward moves happen fast.

Lithium is waking up. Today, we are tracking a massive 30-month trendline breakout in $SGML ( ▼ 0.29% ) , complete with a 16% gap up. I’m going to show you exactly how to trade the first pullback and build a "Pilot Position" without taking unnecessary risk.

But the real explosive action is happening under the surface.

🔒 In the Premium Section, we unlock the "AI Power Pivot" trades. We are tracking four Bitcoin miners aggressively transforming into AI data centers, and I’m giving you the exact 2x leveraged ETFs you need to supercharge those gains. Plus, we dive into the clean energy and critical mineral stocks (like $USAR ( ▼ 1.63% ) and $UAMY ( ▲ 2.44% ) ) that are quietly setting up textbook cup-and-handle breakouts.

Don't miss the next huge volume surge. Upgrade below to get the full watchlist.

🏆 Top Setup of the Day

$SGML ( ▼ 0.29% ) - Long term trade

The Context: Sigma Lithium operates the massive Grota do Cirilo project in Brazil. After recently resolving regulatory concerns over its waste piles and securing a $96 million production-backed revolver, the company is rapidly scaling its high-purity lithium output to meet global EV battery demand.

The Setup: We have a massive Buyable Gap Up today, with the stock surging 16% this morning! Great time to initiate positions. More importantly, $SGML has just achieved a major technical milestone: a 30-Month Trendline Break. The long-term downtrend that capped this stock for over two years is finally over.

The Strategy: Currently, we are seeing the first pullback to the 50-Day Moving Average. In a new trend, this first dip to the 50MA is often the highest reward-to-risk entry point.

• Warning: This is a "Pilot Position" spot. Do not enter with full size here. Start building your position step-by-step and only go to full size once we see a confirmed break above the recent highs.

• 💡 Profit Punch Tip: For aggressive traders, use $WULX ( ▲ 0.91% ) (Tradr 2X Long WULF Daily ETF) for a leveraged position.

$CIFR ( ▼ 0.9% ) - Long term trade

• The Context: Cipher operates industrial-scale data centers in the U.S. and is actively pivoting its massive power pipeline to support heavy HPC and AI workloads.

• The Setup: Jumping out of a big base, but just out of a "low cheat." Don't trust it completely until a full breakout. Start building your position slowly and keep adding as it pushes through resistance.

• 💡 Profit Punch Tip: Use $CIFU ( ▼ 2.83% ) (T-REX 2X Long CIFR Daily Target ETF) for 2x leveraged exposure.

📰 Intro: How to Trade a Bleeding Market

The market is weak right now. The tech darlings that usually lead the pack are selling off hard, and even commodities are pulling back (though they remain relatively stronger).

While the amateurs are throwing in the towel and giving up, this is exactly when the real work gets done. A weak market is a giant filter—it strips away the garbage and highlights the absolute strongest stocks on the market.

Here is how I am playing this environment, and the fatal mistake you need to avoid.

The "All-In" Trap Many people think that when you find a good setup, you should buy your entire position all at once. If they have $1,000 to invest as a long-term or position trader, they dump it in on day one. This is a mistake. 

In a bad market, many good setups will fail. If you go all-in right away, you take unnecessary damage.

Instead, you need to use Progressive Exposure and separate your capital into 3 batches.

The 3-Batch System:

1. The Pilot Position: Start with a small, low-risk initial entry to test the waters.

2. Prove It & Scale: If the stock moves in your favor, raise your stop-loss on the first batch to breakeven, and then add your second batch.

3. The Final Tranche: Repeat the process. Raise your stops again, and add the final batch only once the trend is confirmed.

Since the market is choppy, many good setups will inevitably fail. The best way to navigate this is to take small pilot positions in strong names. These strong names will be the biggest runners when the tide swings in our favor.

It keeps you engaged and tracking the market's pulse without the risk of taking heavy losses.

The $GEV ( ▲ 2.09% ) Masterclass

To show you exactly how this works, let's look at my current, open position in $GEV ( ▲ 2.09% )  (GE Vernova).

GEV Monthly : Look at the clear monthly breakouts

I didn't buy my full position on day one. By scaling in slowly using the 3-Batch System and trailing my stops up along the way, I have completely locked down my downside.

Right now, I am only risking $40 of my actual capital on this trade, but I am sitting on a $700 open profit.

GEV Daily

The trade is still running, and I am still in the process of building the full position as the stock continues to prove me right. This is how you survive and thrive in a weak market—let the winners pull you into the trade.

Think about that for a second. That $700 USD open profit from just one properly executed trade is enough to pay for a Profit Punch premium subscription for 4 years.

GEVX ~766$ Profit Proof

If you want to stop guessing, protect your capital in this choppy market, and get access to the exact systems and setups we use every day, it's time to step up.

Now, let's look at the large-cap setups I am watching right now to anchor the portfolio.

🏆 Top Big-Cap Setup

$LLY ( ▲ 0.85% ) (Eli Lilly) – Long Term Trade

The Context: While the rest of the market panics, the weight-loss drug king is ignoring the noise. Unprecedented demand for Zepbound and Mounjaro continues to drive massive revenue growth, insulating this stock from tech-sector volatility.

The Setup: We are seeing a massive Big Base Breakout on the monthly chart, which is now forming a high, tight monthly flag.

• The Pattern: A flat base with only a ~10% correction. This is incredibly constructive.

• Strategy: Good time to start building a position.

• Risk Management: Risk 0.15% to 0.2% of your account per leg. Raise your stop loss on the previous leg every time you add.

🇨🇳 The Contrarian Play: Chinese Automakers

Context: Very deep corrections are notoriously untrustworthy, but the monthly signals here are so strong that they warrant a starter position. We are bottom-fishing with strict risk management.

$NIO ( ▼ 2.2% )  (Nio Inc.) – Long Term Trade

• The Setup: Textbook monthly setup. We have a monthly moving average crossover test, the RSI is testing a crossover signal, and the Composite Index is flashing bullish. Start building a pilot position and see where the trend takes you.

• Use $NIOG ( ▼ 3.9% ) the x2 ETF for a more powerful move

🚨 Coming Up in Part 2: The "AI Builders" Breakout

In Part 2 of this week's newsletter, I am breaking down the only two sectors that are completely ignoring the market crash right now: Utilities and Construction. 

I have 10 specific setups mapped out, including a 7-month base breakout and a massive infrastructure cup and handle.

📰 In This Issue…

Last week, the market flushed out the weak hands in Tech. Good. While the "AI Tourists" were panic selling, the "Real Economy" stocks—Homebuilders and Infrastructure—were quietly thriving.

We are seeing a massive rotation into the companies that build the future (Data Centers, Power Grids, Homes) rather than just the ones that code it.

Inside this edition:

• The Headliner: $PRIM ( ▼ 2.33% ) (Primoris)—The infrastructure giant breaking out of a 16-week base.

• The AI Infrastructure Play: Why $APLD ( ▼ 2.46% ) and $WULF ( ▲ 1.0% ) are the "second chance" entries you've been waiting for.

• 🔒 Premium Only: The "Solar Reversal" ( $SEDG ( ▲ 2.16% ) , $NXT ( ▼ 3.51% ) ) and the massive "Construction Boom" basket ( $EME ( ▼ 0.78% ) , $CRS ( ▲ 0.61% ) ).

The flush is done. The builders are running.

🏆 Top Setup of the Day

$PRIM ( ▼ 2.33% ) - Long term trade

The Context: Primoris is a massive infrastructure contractor specializing in power, pipelines, and broadband. Crucially, they are a key builder of Data Centers and renewable energy projects. As AI demands more power and physical infrastructure, Primoris gets the contract.

The Setup:

• The Pattern: A perfect 16-Week Base breakout.

• The Entry: The stock broke out and is now testing the breakout level (a classic "check back").

• Confirmation: We see a strong bounce off the 20-Day Moving Average right after the breakout. This is "Tennis Ball" action—hard down, fast up.

PRIM Daily

📰 In This Issue…

The "Easy Money" breakouts are over. Now comes the "Smart Money" retest. We are tracking a specific setup today: The Pullback to Support.

While the general market chases highs, we are looking at Strategic Assets (Rare Earths, Coal, and Critical Minerals) that have broken out and are now coming back to test their moving averages. This is where you manage risk and build a position.

Inside this edition:

• The Headliner: $MP ( ▼ 0.48% )  Materials—The Western Rare Earth leader gives us a "Double Bottom" entry.

• The Sector Rotation: Why the market is re-rating Coal ( $BTU ( ▼ 0.8% ) ) and Minerals ( $UAMY ( ▲ 2.44% ) ) from "Old Economy" to "AI Infrastructure."

• 🔒 Premium Only: The Antimony & Niobium swing trades ( $UAMY ( ▲ 2.44% ) , $NB ( ▼ 2.52% ) ) and the Gold/Copper breakout ( $MUX ( ▼ 1.33% ) ).

Buy the pullback. Ride the trend.

🏆 Top Setup of the Day

$MP ( ▼ 0.48% ) - Long term trade

The Context: MP Materials owns the only scaled rare earth mining and processing site in North America. They are the "Anti-China" trade for EV magnets and defense tech. With the West desperate to onshore its supply chain, MP is a national security asset.

The Setup: The stock has formed a classic Double Bottom one month later and is now pulling back to test the 50-Day Moving Average.

• Strategy: Do not enter fully yet. This is a "Progressive Entry." Buy a starter position here at support. Only add more when the stock proves you right and moves in your favor.
