$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ There's an ascending wedge forming, and this doesn't look like a false breakout. It should push through 1800 and then run to 2000 this month.
$Wal-Mart(WMT)$ I know some people will see this as negative, but I actually like how it's setting up going into the next session. The Adobe forward-thinking news was a nice cherry on top as well. I really do think we got a true bull flag today, so I'm watching for a gap up. First target is 105-106, then 110 if it can get there. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ saw some money moving around on the option chain. $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ is still on my radar. I'm watching for the next VIX spike — it looks ready, though the markets still appear strong. It doesn't 100% correlate with
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ SPY has been down 6 of the last 7 sessions, and 13 of the past 18 days overall. These stretches tend to even out, so it feels due for a run of green days.
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ I had the dates mixed up earlier — the reversal I mentioned isn't tomorrow, it's the day after. My 11/20 2000 strike call is up, but there's no point in risking it for less than a 30% gain. Otherwise it's just too much stress.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ On the 10 min chart, the bulls are trying to take intraday control with the close above the 20 SMA at 763.21. If this level holds, the bounce can continue. It is hard to stay bearish if the 20 SMA is acting as support on the 10 min. VWAP at 764.34 is the key level to break. If that fails, the bounce could stall. Bullish above it.
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ In the AI era, this could be a surprisingly important shift. Previously, AI basically meant GPU + HBM. But as AI inference workloads keep growing, a broader memory and storage hierarchy could become increasingly important: GPU + HBM + HBF + high-speed SSDs + high-capacity NAND. Sandisk is also pointing in this direction. The company has noted that as KV cache expands with AI inference, data center storage requirements are rising as well. So when comparing SNDK with Micron or SK hynix, the focus shouldn't only be that SNDK lacks HBM. The more relevant question is how far SNDK can move NAND up the AI memory hierarchy.
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ Gut feeling and the technicals suggest it will retest 1,660 before we move higher. I was counting on the 1,640s to 1,620s range, but we will see. Limit buys are still open.
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ Current projections show 2027 EPS at $213.31, up from $70.88 in 2026. For 2028, projected EPS is $252.80. That is without buybacks. They are also setting HBF standards with SK Hynix. Memory demand will outgrow all planned new capacity additions by a large margin every year through at least 2032, according to new research from Citi's memory analyst. Do the math.
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ This drop is tied to the Iran war news. It should recover before long. I've seen this pattern play out many times, so it looks like a good opportunity to add.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Found strong support below $756. Looks like we're set up to rally into the end of September. If you're looking at an option play, give yourself time - at least 3 weeks. I'll share when I enter my own calls. That said, the quarterly open should have a lot of people cautious. We're extended and trading close to ATH, which is where corrections tend to start. For now, $800+ looks like the target until the market gives a proper sell signal.
