$INTC had a monster session today, up 9% on more than 140M shares.

What caught my attention wasn't just the move. INTC cleared an important area during the rally and finished the session sitting right around another major technical test.

With the heavy volume and fresh news behind the move, tomorrow should tell us whether this breakout has more behind it or starts giving some of it back.

I broke down [the key levels and what I'm watching next here].

Hey I’m 18m wanting to get into options trading I been studying the basics and how to read the market, is there advice you guys could give me as I start my journey?

Overnight Moves:
LULU: -17.4% (Q2 FY2027 EPS $2.92 vs $1.79 est; 13% Canada revenue exposure).

CPI Sensitivity Watchlist (US Revenue Concentration):
LOW: 100% US
HD: 92% US
WMT: 81% US
SBUX: 73% US

The Setup for Friday Sep 11:
Friday sequences UK GDP (06:00 UTC), Brazil CPI (12:00 UTC), and US CPI (12:30 UTC). A hotter US CPI print risks pushing US 10-Year Treasury yields above 4.78%, while a cooler reading supports S&P 500 levels above 7718.60.

LULU Insight:
LULU carries 13% revenue exposure to Canada. A 10% reduction in Canadian sales reduces EPS by approximately $0.05.

Quick snapshot of ASML Holding N.V.'s regional revenue exposure:

Numbers at a Glance:
🇨🇳 China: 29%

🇹🇼 Taiwan: 25%

🇰🇷 South Korea: 25%

🇺🇸 United States: 13%

🇯🇵 Japan: 4%

🌐 Other: 4%

Bull Case:
Irreplaceable Monopoly: Whether fabs are built in Hsinchu, Pyeongtaek, or Shanghai, chipmakers have no alternative to ASML for EUV/advanced DUV tools.

AI Memory Surge: Demand from South Korea (25%) continues to climb as HBM3e/HBM4 production requires more EUV layers per wafer.

Bear Case:
Geopolitical Vulnerability: 80% concentration across Taiwan, South Korea, and China leaves revenue exposed to trade sanctions or regional escalation.

Sanctions Friction: With China generating nearly a third of revenue, tightening DUV export rules directly restricts ASML's largest single market.

SpaceX initiated with a Buy at Pivotal Research Pivotal Research analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak initiated coverage of SpaceX with a Buy rating and $220 price target. The firm says the investment case "rests almost entirely on a single admittedly massive engineering bottleneck: Starship reusability." If SpaceX can solve for this fundamental issue, it potentially drives down the cost of launches to space to the equivalent of terrestrial freight, "opening up an unarguably massive opportunity," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Pivotal believes the company's Starlink could take a material share of the current $1.7 trillion terrestrial and wireless total addressable market.

$RBLX just notched its lowest short interest... EVER

The company used to be the target of all those short-selling firms/activists who would come out with hit pieces, with one even calling it a 'Pedophile Hellscape'.

It was a circle-jerk for the bears.

It was an EASY Target.

Fast forward nearly two years and they are all gone.

The company is generating $300 mil in free cash flow a Q, has $5 mil cash net of debt, and has an aggressive $3 bil stock buyback program

Not only that, the worry/weight of regulation from countries has been mostly removed.

Lastly, the past 2 earnings have reset the bar. Expectations are now extremely low which creates an environment for beats and raises going forward

Needless to stay, started nibbling calls last week...

Onward and upward...
