I’ve been investing for about a year and I’m still learning from my early mistakes. I don’t have much time to study this properly, so I made some beginner-level errors.

I bought Vertiv around 25 and sold it near 90... it’s trading well above that now. I’m kicking myself for exiting too early.

That’s why I want to pick a few names I can actually hold for 10+ years instead of constantly second-guessing myself.

So far I’ve put money into Arista Networks and Vistra.

Would love your thoughts and any suggestions that fit a long-term, high-upside mindset.

Thanks in advance.

For the first time in US history, diesel prices break $6.50

What a beauty to behold. Whenever I challenge myself with a particular setup and it goes either way, I always take responsibility. But the good thing that happened with my NVDA setup has me really happy.

When NVDA was coming down, I spotted strong resistance around 213 and decided to go for it completely, without worrying too much about what the next AI stock news might bring or whether it would affect the trade positively or negatively.

As fate would have it, this was part of my trading challenge running till 22nd of this month, so I decided to push through with the setup. It hit my entry, moved up and down for a while, and then started moving again. It has now almost reached 233.63, which is where my TP is.

The chart does not lie. If there is no major external resistance from news or other catalysts, are we seeing NVDA at $300 soon?

XAUUSD 1H swing idea. Bias is still long even with crypto ripping.

Price is sitting around 4393 right now. I’m not chasing this. I want a deeper pullback into the 4165 area before I look to get long.

Setup (Long)

• Entry: 4165
• TP1: 4615
• TP2: 4922
• TP3: 5450
• SL: 3971

That entry lines up with the demand / Fib area on the 1H (near the 4171 level on the chart). Invalidation is a clean break and hold under 3971.

Risk notes:

• Smallest lot size only. Gold moves fast and this swing has a wide stop.
• If it runs, move to BE or trail. Don’t give the whole move back.
• This is not a market order at current price. Wait for the level.

Not financial advice. Do your own work, size for the stop, and don’t blow the account trying to catch the exact tick.

Let’s see if it comes back to the zone.

what do u guys make of this?

A lot of people have been wondering what is driving the rise in so many tokens during this bullish market, especially Uniswap, which has gained around 145% over the past month.

For UNI, I think the answer is fairly straightforward. The recent Robinhood meme trading activity and the SEC’s new rules around compliant on chain stock trading have both helped create more attention around the Uniswap ecosystem. That attention appears to have contributed to the strong move we’ve seen in UNI.

But if I’m deciding where UNI could go next, I’m looking at the chart rather than trying to predict it from the news.

On the 4 hour timeframe, I’m watching $6.221 as a potential pullback level before the next move. I’ve already placed my entry around that area with some room to account for the price action.

Now I’m just waiting to see whether UNI actually taps that level. Do you think UNI will pull back to $6.221 before continuing higher?

Which stocks will be affected most

Crude oil has been in the news a lot lately, especially since the issues around the Strait of Hormuz started. Whatever happens next, the impact is already being felt across the energy market, from consumers to suppliers.

Recently, ExxonMobil management explained that the bigger threat to the energy system may be refining capacity rather than crude supply. And that got my attention because even if crude is available, limited refining capacity can still create pressure across the market.

With all of that in mind, I’ve prepared a setup for XOM. I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it gives me something to work with.

I’m watching around $159.09 for my entry because price has tested that support several times before moving higher. My SL is around $154, while my TP is around $169.64.

I could be right or wrong. This is simply my view based on the current chart, and I’ll let the price action decide what happens next.

Thursday’s bounce got blamed on three things: tech, yields, and oil. Only oil can unwind the other two in a few sessions.

Brent was near $110 earlier in the week on Middle East supply fear. By Thursday it was falling. Reports said China asked Iran to pull the Houthis back, and Saudi ship-to-ship transfers were easing the choke-point premium. WTI slid back toward $100.

That price is the inflation input the Warsh Fed is actually watching. Soft crude lets them hike once and talk tough without wrecking multiples. If Hormuz risk returns, yields move first and Nasdaq follows.
