The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has pulled back roughly 2%, after hitting fresh record highs near 6,986 last week
As markets digest renewed policy uncertainty and shifting expectations around Trump-era trade, fiscal, and regulatory policies,profit-taking at elevated levels, alongside macro and geopolitical noise, has temporarily cooled broader US equity momentum, even as liquidity conditions remain supportive.
With index volatility $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ rising but selective leadership emerging, the key question remains: is this pullback a healthy reset—or an early signal of a broader shift in the US equity trend?
Against this backdrop, investor attention is narrowing toward a small group of high-conviction names that continue to attract capital flows. From $Strategy(MSTR)$ ’s leverage to the crypto upcycle,to $Intel(INTC)$ ’s policy-backed US manufacturing push and $CRITICAL METALS CORPORATION(CRML)$’s role in Europe’s strategic resource security, these stocks sit at the intersection of liquidity recovery and long-term industrial realignment.

Let's dive in.
1.💰 $Strategy(MSTR)$ | Bitcoin's "Shadow Bank" & Leverage Engine
MSTR functions as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy, effectively operating as the world's largest corporate BTC holder. While nominally a software firm, its valuation is tightly coupled with crypto, seeing surging demand during bull cycles.
Fed rate cuts and US crypto deregulation serve as massive tailwinds. Despite flat software revenue, the skyrocketing "BTC per share" metric drives a valuation flywheel, utilising capital market premiums to accrete more Bitcoin.
High selling volume and negative MACD signal caution. Expect consolidation between $158 and $165; a sustained break below $158 targets $150, while a close above $165 is needed to signal a rebound.
2.🔋 $CRITICAL METALS CORPORATION(CRML)$ | The "Strategic Fortress" of Europe's Lithium Supply Chain
CRML secures Europe’s lithium supply chain via its flagship Austrian project. It holds a unique, scarce position as the EU strives for battery autonomy and reduced external dependency for its EV industry.
The EU Critical Raw Materials Act provides a policy moat and potential subsidies. Asset repricing continues as the Wolfsberg Lithium Project moves toward commercialization, offering a high-odds resource play.
Elevated volume confirms recent sell-offs, though the RSI retreating from overbought levels suggests a healthy short-term pullback. Watch for consolidation between $16.20 and $19.15; a decisive break above $19.15 targets the $20–$21 zone.
3.📉 $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ | The "Short Sword" Amidst Semiconductor Hype
SOXS is a 3x leveraged bear ETF designed for hedging against semiconductor sector overvaluation. It acts as a short-term "counter-attack" weapon for traders betting on chip sector pullbacks or inventory gluts.
It benefits significantly if interest rates remain high or geopolitical tensions restrict chip exports. As a pure volatility play subject to leverage decay, it is unsuitable for long-term holding but potent during earnings misses.
Massive volume and a deeply negative MACD indicate the primary bearish trend is intact, though RSI suggests a relief bounce. Expect high volatility within $2.04–$2.30; a breakdown below $2.04 could test psychological support at $2.00.
4.⚡ $T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF(MSTU)$ | The Crazy "2x Bitcoin Accelerator"
MSTU offers 2x leverage on MicroStrategy, effectively serving as "leverage on leverage" for Bitcoin exposure. It occupies a hyper-speculative niche, targeting extreme Beta during crypto super-cycles.
Its performance relies entirely on MSTR stock and loose monetary policy. Lacking independent business financials, it attracts day traders seeking maximum burst potential and is highly sensitive to liquidity shifts.
Oversold RSI hints at a potential technical bounce despite negative momentum. Expect continued high volatility around $8.70–$9.50; holding $8.70 is critical to avoid a swift drop to the $8.08 yearly low.
5.📡 $Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ | The "Data Nervous System" of Industrial Infrastructure
ONDS provides proprietary wireless data and drone solutions for critical rail and energy infrastructure. Its Fullmax technology secures high barriers to entry as industries shift from proof-of-concept to scaled procurement.
The US Infrastructure Act directly supports its rail upgrade business, driving a growing order backlog. While still in an expansion phase, revenue potential is emerging as drone systems deploy in security and inspection sectors.
Buying momentum is renewing with RSI rising from oversold levels. Expect consolidation between $13.11 and $14.20; a sustained breakout above $13.21 could retest the $14.20–$15.28 zone, assuming the bullish trend holds.
6.🐯 $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ | The "Trading Hub" for Global Chinese Asset Allocation
TIGR is a leading tech broker expanding aggressively in Singapore and globally, catering to Chinese asset allocation needs. It is transforming from a simple broker into a comprehensive financial platform with strong user experience.
International expansion hedges regulatory risks, while high interest rates have boosted income significantly. Lower acquisition costs and a rebound in funded clients demonstrate strong profitability resilience.
Light volume and a negative MACD confirm a lack of conviction and bearish momentum. Expect tight consolidation between $9.07 and $9.19; a decisive break below $9.07 risks a slide toward $8.80.
7.💾 $Intel(INTC)$ | The "Renaissance Bet" of US Chip Manufacturing
INTC is a classic "distressed turnaround" play transitioning to the IDM 2.0 foundry model. While trailing in AI, it retains a dominant market share in the PC Client sector and is key to the industry's recovery.
As the largest beneficiary of CHIPS Act subsidies, aggressive cost-cutting and the 18A process node progress are catalysts for a valuation re-rating. It represents a bet on US manufacturing resilience.
Robust volume and bullish MACD support the uptrend, but overbought RSI signals potential consolidation. Watch the $47.00–$50.40 range; a break above $50.40 targets $52, while failure to hold $47 risks a retest of $45.
8.🚗 $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ | The "Physical Carrier" of AI Robots & Energy Giant
TSLA is being repriced from an auto manufacturer to an AI robotics giant. While EV hardware faces price wars, energy storage and autonomous driving (FSD) are rapidly becoming its new primary growth engines.
Rate cuts will aid auto consumption, while explosive FSD data growth builds a wide competitive moat. The Energy Generation segment is seeing profit bursts, becoming a solid cash flow pillar.
Deeply oversold RSI suggests a potential bounce, despite the MACD confirming bearish momentum. Expect consolidation between $418 and $430; holding $418 is vital, as a break below targets $400, while $430 is the key resistance to clear.
