Key Tickers to Watch Today
Ticker Price Outlook
$AMD ~$172.40 Strong rebound after Thursday's dip. Earnings-driven volatility lies ahead; anticipate a test around $180, with support near $170.
$SMCI ~$46.67 Consolidation below post-earnings spike. Short-term resistance at $48-$49, support forming near $46. Analyst optimism from Barclays (Target: $45) may cushion downside.
$CRCL – Crypto-linked names remain reactive to BTC moves. Look for support to hold above $130; any fresh crypto catalyst could bounce it to the $140s.
$WOLF – Still under pressure. Without a broader market rebound, expect further weakness—watch for stabilization only if tech or crypto rallies.
What's Driving Today?
Economic Watchlist: Next up—CPI data (Thu)—sets the tone for the Fed and broader risk sentiment.
Tech/semis showing leadership; watch for signs whether this trend continues or stalls.
Trading Playbook
$AMD: A base-building setup near $170–$175? A conservative dip-buy or straddle strategy could work ahead of potential volatility.
$SMCI: Range-trading play—buy near $46 support, target gap-resistance at $48–$49.
$CRCL / $WOLF: Use smaller, tactical trades. Only consider heavier positioning if clear macro or sector catalysts emerge.

- Mortimer Arthur·08-10AMD is priced in with exclusions of China sales in their guidance. Any export approvals will be a bullish momentum. By contrast, Nvidia is priced with China sales and earnings will include these numbers. Any disappointment will be a bearish momentum.LikeReport
