Edge-of-the-Lake

At the end of the session, yesterday, a short was opened in the SOXX, as trade, SOXX-25-01 (not advice, not a recommendation).

We’ll see below, price action finally penetrated long-standing resistance around 240 – 243, and then (so far), has stopped dead.

In the overnight session, SOXX churned higher to post 243.63, and is hovering around that level, in the pre-market.

There’s no doubt we’re at ‘the edge of the lake’, as David Weis, used to say.

Semiconductor SOXX, Daily Close

It’s important to note, big cap Nvidia, is in Spring-to-Up-Thrust condition (chart not shown), with it posting new all-time-highs.

If NVDA confirms an up-thrust and heads lower, it’s likely to take the rest of the (SOXX) market down as well.

Market Positions

Positioned short the SOXX, with a stop yet to be determined; somewhere around the overnight high of 243.63 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Separately, stop on GDX short, DUST-25-05 is being moved up to the vicinity of yesterday’s low, 23.98 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Miners & CrowdStrike

A Tale of Two ‘Set-Ups’

When looking at the price action of Senior Miners, GDX, you get the sense, ‘it had to be this way’.

That is, the only way to get up enough energy to close the gap shown below, was to have two successive (lower) ‘spring’ attempts.

Senior Miners, GDX, Daily

Yesterday’s action closed the gap.

What comes next is unknown, but we do have a ‘line in the sand’; that is, if miners (and gold) are to continue on a potential ‘hyperinflation breakout’, then, GDX must post a new daily high above yesterday’s 53.04, at some point.

Either way, Hard Stop of DUST-25-05, at 23.69 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Now, on to CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike, CRWD, Daily

Yesterday’s action was ‘outside-down’.

We’re right at resistance, that will become support if CRWD, is able to rally from here.

If not, and CRWD posts (consistently) below resistance, then we’re at the top edge of a rising wedge pattern that’s been forming since July, of last year.
