The battle between fundamentals and stories continues this week, with $General Motors(GM)$ giving investors a peak into its manufacturing operations, pricing plans, and EV growth. If — like me — you think fundamentals eventually win, GM’s position as a leader in trucks and SUVs with less discounting than competitors, the #2 position in EVs in the U.S., and leading autonomous driving business is a good place to be.Where GM and Mary Barra have always failed is telling a great story.If you’re more into stories, the auto market storyteller is Elon Musk.He’s convinced investors and the media that $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ owns the future of autonomous driving (despite being years behind in many respects) and pivoted

I have several stop losses attempt in this space in the last 2 weeks . BTC via $iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ on 26/9 move out of channel and 200-MA, 7/10 intraday stop on $Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF(BLOK)$ and $VanEck Digital Transformation ETF(DAPP)$ (consolidated as a single trade for liquidity) from attempt of follow through from 4/10 undercut and reclaim of 10-MA and BTC re-attempt to push out of 200-MA.

$Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bear 3x Shares(LABD)$ - Update (Not Positioned, yet)I Inverse the $Spdr S&P Biotech Etf(XBI)$ chart (you can do this via 'ALT + i') as a showcase of its consecutive higher lows price action development which is equivalent to LABD (Inverse long 3x).I’m eager to position into this if the market gaps up at the open (after the 8:30 AM CPI data) without participation from $Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLV)$ and XBI. Selling the gap-up at the open has been a go-to strategy for day traders this year.Do note of risk to friday's pre-market PPI data after today's pre-market CPI.Image
$SPX - Divergences continue and the $VIX is finding support
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ - Divergences continue and the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ is finding support, but as long as price action does not break key levels, there is no reason to consider a bearish setup validated.On the contrary, price may continue moving up IF the Bollinger widens as in previous occurrences, and also considering that a bullish crossover in MACD has been printed. Both indicators highlighted in the chart during June/July.CPI came higher than expected, and Jobless Claims worse than expected, will the market price more jumbo rate cuts?YoY was better than expected: 2.4% versus 2.3% consensus, however, the Initial Jobless Claims were 258K, higher than 231K consensus.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ - Support at the 20DMAAnyway it is a red candle validated by high daily volume, there are chances for a bounce but caution is essential, since the oscillator has just started its bearish move.Price action tried to recover the 10DMA by the close, without success.If the 20DMA is broken, the lower Bollinger Band would be a reasonable destination.Some updates for AMD that suggests this is a buyable dip:Server Market: AMD has a 34% revenue share in the server market.Data-Center Accelerators: The market is estimated to grow at a 60% CAGR to $500 billion by 2028.MI325X Launch: AMD has launched the MI325X, offering more memory than Nvidia's H200 HGX.Upcoming Products: AMD is developing the MI350 series (2025) and MI400 series

If we have seen how Energy stocks have moved since the geopolitical tensions in middle east happen, we could see that energy stocks have managed to gain more than 2%. So is the S&P 500 Energy Sector still performing? and can we still have some potential to invest? I am comparing it with the S&P 500 Financial Sector as we are seeing financial stocks beginning their earnings season today (11 Oct). The financial sector is already in the leading quadrant, so we could still see opportunities from the S&P 500 Energy sector as it is in the improving quadrant, and it could be moving to the leading quadrant next. Exxon Mobil Helping S&P 500 Energy Sector Strength If we looked at the stocks in the S&P 500 Energy by weightage, we can see that they are performing significantly, and
Who are the whales buying massive Nvidia call options?
One of the most jaw-dropping option flows on $Nvidia (NVDA)$ this year.After scanning the options activity, I almost choked on my water. An unknown trader went on an outright buying spree of Nvidia calls expiring March 21, 2025, across strikes ranging from $181 ($NVDA 20250321 181.0 CALL$ ) all the way up to $189 ($NVDA 20250321 189.0 CALL$ ). Single-leg buys, with trade values starting from millions per strike.The volume data suggests even larger trade sizes, with at least 10,000 contracts purchased per strike. The total size is questionable as it doesn't seem to reconcile with real-time trading data. We'll n
