SNDK: Trend Breakout, Bearish PersistsSanDisk Corporation (SNDK) is trading around $1,574 dropping 3.81%. The decline was triggered by a broader, sector-wide chip and memory stock sell off following weekend remarks from top AI executives. The primary driver for today's market drop was a weekend call from prominent artificial intelligence leaders.
Technical Insight:
SNDK is positioned in upside direction, trending partially on highs and lows for a couple of weeks now. Stock recently broke below the trend support line at $1,635, in respect to the structure. Price is making a retest, as we anticipate short continuation between $1,610-$1,660.
Key Point:
A confirmed pullback around this zone, activates another sell position down $1,352.84, as next potential bearish.

GigaCloud T: Why a Stop-Loss Does Not Always Cancel the SignalGigaCloud Technology: Why a Stop-Loss Does Not Always Cancel the Signal
GigaCloud Technology (NASDAQ: GCT) provides a useful real-world example of how I combine fundamental screening, a systematic entry level and predefined risk management.
The case is particularly interesting because the same Breakout 2 ATR setup has resulted in three separate trades. The first two were stopped out, while the third remains active in the model portfolio as of September 11, 2026.
This illustrates an important distinction within the strategy:
A stop-loss closes an individual trade. It does not automatically invalidate the underlying signal.
THE FUNDAMENTAL SCREENING
Before a stock is evaluated technically, it must first pass my seven-part RERC ERI screening:
1. Return on Invested Capital
2. Earnings Yield
3. Revenue relative to Market Capitalization
4. Cash or Working Capital relative to Market Capitalization
5. Earnings Growth
6. Revenue Growth
7. Institutional and Insider Ownership
At the time of screening, GCT passed four of the seven criteria:
✅ ROIC above 20%
❌ Earnings Yield below 20%
✅ Revenue/Market Cap above 50%
❌ Cash or Working Capital/Market Cap below 50%
✅ Quarterly earnings growth of approximately 27.1%
✅ Quarterly revenue growth of 27.6% year over year
❌ Institutions and insiders below 75% combined ownership
The result was therefore 4/7.
Under my broader screening rules, ROIC must qualify and at least four of the seven RERC ERI criteria must be positive. GCT met both requirements and could proceed to the technical Breakout 2 ATR analysis.
THE ORIGINAL BREAKOUT REFERENCE
The relevant reference was GCT’s highest daily closing price over the preceding three-year period:
Highest three-year closing price: $43.15
Only daily closing prices are used throughout the system. Intraday highs and lows are ignored.
With ATR at approximately $1.49, the Breakout 2 ATR level was calculated as:
$43.15 + (2 × $1.49) = approximately $46.13
This became the active buying trigger.
Adding two ATR above the former high requires more than a marginal breakout. The stock must move sufficiently beyond its previous resistance to demonstrate meaningful strength relative to its own volatility.
THREE TRADES FROM ONE ACTIVE SIGNAL
TRADE #1
GCT produced its first actionable entry on February 26, 2026.
Entry: $46.98
Exit: $42.60 on March 3, 2026
Result: approximately –9.3%
The stop-loss performed its intended function by limiting the loss when the breakout initially failed to follow through.
However, closing the trade did not automatically cancel the underlying Breakout 2 ATR signal.
TRADE #2
GCT subsequently moved back through the active trigger, resulting in a second entry:
Entry: $46.50 on April 9, 2026
Exit: $40.18 on May 8, 2026
Result: approximately –13.6%
The binding stop area was approximately $40.69, based on the system’s absolute maximum loss threshold of 12.5%.
Because the strategy requires confirmation through a daily closing price, the actual closing-price exit was $40.18. The realized loss was therefore slightly greater than 12.5%.
This second unsuccessful trade could easily have created an emotional reason to abandon the stock entirely. The system, however, required a different question:
Had the underlying signal been formally reset?
The answer was no.
TRADE #3
GCT later crossed the still-active Breakout 2 ATR level again and entered the model portfolio for a third time:
Entry: $46.46 on August 4, 2026
Closing price on September 11, 2026: $51.87
The unrealized result was:
($51.87 − $46.46) / $46.46 = approximately +11.6%
The third position therefore remained active and was classified as:
ACTIVE BREAKOUT / HOLD
WHY THE SIGNAL SURVIVED TWO STOP-LOSSES
This is the central lesson from the GCT case.
A stop-loss and a signal reset are two different events.
The stop-loss protects the capital allocated to an individual trade. It does not, by itself, prove that the broader technical setup has disappeared.
The original Breakout 2 ATR buying level remains valid until the stock completes the required 4 ATR reset from a relevant new closing-price top. If such a reset occurs, the old trigger is retired and a new breakout cycle must be calculated from the updated reference top.
That reset had not occurred before the third entry.
The active trigger therefore remained approximately $46.13, allowing the system to act again when GCT returned above it on a daily closing-price basis.
This approach accepts that a valid breakout may require more than one attempt. Small and predefined losses are part of the process. What matters is that every entry, stop and possible re-entry follows the same rules.
HOW THE STOP-LOSS IS ESTABLISHED
Once a position has been purchased, the system waits for the stock to close back below the trade’s entry price.
Wilder ATR(14) is then locked using the final trading day immediately before that downward crossing.
Two possible stop levels are calculated:
1. Entry price minus 2 ATR
2. Entry price minus the absolute maximum loss of 12.5%
The binding stop is whichever of these two levels is closest to the entry price.
The position is sold only when a subsequent daily closing price breaks that stop level. Intraday movements do not count.
This distinction is important. The stop-loss is designed to control the risk of the current trade, while the 4 ATR reset determines whether the underlying Breakout 2 ATR signal remains valid for a possible later entry.
THE ROAD TO PROFIT MANAGEMENT
Profit Management had not yet been activated for Trade #3 as of September 11, 2026.
The model-portfolio entry was $46.46. A 50% gain will therefore be reached at:
$46.46 × 1.50 = $69.69
Profit Management level: $69.69
At the September 11 closing price of $51.87, GCT was:
$17.82 below the Profit Management threshold
From $51.87, the stock would need to rise by approximately 34.4% to reach $69.69.
Until GCT closes at or above $69.69, the position remains governed by the system’s ordinary stop-loss rule.
If the stock eventually reaches the +50% threshold, its status changes from:
ACTIVE BREAKOUT / HOLD
to:
PROFIT MANAGEMENT / TRACK PROFIT
Only then does the system begin monitoring the highest relevant closing price and a subsequent 2 ATR decline for a possible profit-protection exit.
CURRENT SYSTEM STATUS — SEPTEMBER 11, 2026
RERC ERI: 4/7
Original breakout reference: $43.15
ATR used for the breakout trigger: approximately $1.49
Active Breakout 2 ATR trigger: approximately $46.13
Current model-portfolio entry: $46.46
Entry date: August 4, 2026
Closing price on September 11: $51.87
Current Trade #3 result: approximately +11.6%
Profit Management threshold: $69.69
Additional rise required to reach +50%: approximately 34.4%
Profit Management reached: No
4 ATR reset: No
Current status: ACTIVE BREAKOUT / HOLD
CONCLUSION
GCT demonstrates why a rules-based process must separate four different decisions:
1. Does the company qualify fundamentally?
2. Has the technical entry level been reached?
3. When must the individual trade be stopped?
4. Has the underlying signal actually been reset?
GCT qualified with four of seven positive RERC ERI criteria, including ROIC above 20%. Its Breakout 2 ATR trigger was approximately $46.13.
The first two trades were stopped out with losses of approximately 9.3% and 13.6%. However, the underlying signal remained actionable because the required 4 ATR reset had not occurred.
A third entry was established at $46.46 on August 4, 2026. At the September 11 closing price of $51.87, this position showed an unrealized gain of approximately 11.6%.
The next major milestone is $69.69.
That is the level at which Trade #3 reaches +50% and formally enters Profit Management.
Until then, GCT remains an active breakout position governed by the system’s normal stop-loss discipline.
This case does not demonstrate a strategy that avoids losses. It demonstrates a strategy designed to control individual losses, preserve valid opportunities and remain consistent when a stock requires more than one attempt.

Week 38 of 52 | MU Back at $927—What Now?Back in Week 31, we marked $1,030–$1,060 as our first upside target if Micron reclaimed $960. MU reached the lower end of that zone, but sellers stepped in before it could move higher.
Now the stock is back around $927, below the same $930–$960 area we were watching in July. That puts the recovery under pressure again.
The rebound from $700–$750 was strong. Buyers defended the major demand zone and eventually pushed the stock back toward $1,030. But NASDAQ:MU has struggled to hold those gains, and the latest rejection leaves that resistance firmly in place.
$930–$960 is the immediate test.
I want to see a daily close above $960, followed by a pullback that holds the zone. That would make another move toward $1,030–$1,060 more convincing. Clearing that resistance would then bring $1,150 and the previous high near $1,247 back into view.
Until then, there is still a risk that any bounce into $930–$960 attracts more selling.
Below the current price, $850–$875 is the support I am watching. A pullback there could offer a setup, but only if buyers actually defend it. If that zone fails and MU cannot recover it, $790–$810 becomes the next reference, followed by $700–$750.
The business argument from our previous idea still matters. Micron’s record quarter and strong outlook gave investors a reason to buy the correction. But those numbers were already known in July. The question now is whether memory demand and pricing can keep earnings elevated long enough to justify the stock’s recovery.
That is the challenge with MU. Strong earnings can support the bull case, while investors still worry about what comes after the strongest part of the cycle.
Around $927, I do not see a reason to rush. The stock is sitting below resistance, with room to fall before reaching its next support. I would rather see $960 reclaimed and defended, or a clear buying reaction around $850–$875.
Our first target was reached. Now MU needs to hold its next recovery attempt if we are going to look higher.
This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. TESLA Last Bear Cycle Leg is starting. $250 possible.Last time we looked at Tesla (TSLA) was exactly 1 month ago (August 13, see chart below) when we gave a strong Buy Signal at the bottom of its 1-year Channel Down:
This time we move back to the wider, long-term charts, more specifically the 1W time-frame to get a sense of the long-term trend now that the price approaches the top of that 1-year Channel Down.
This is our main, key chart for Tesla, which has helped us identify strong Buy/ Sell opportunities over the years. This time it calls for a final Bearish Leg below its 0.382 (orange) Fibonacci level, where the market is expected to bottom above but close to the 1M MA100 (green trend-line).
That's what happened again within the 6.0 - 7.0 Time Fibonacci extension on the previous expansion Cycle in 2019. As you can see, it's not just the price action among the two fractals (2022 - 2026 and 2015 - 2019) that's identical but also their 1W RSI sequences. And every time that turned oversold (RSI < 30.00), Tesla had the most optimal long-term Buy Signal.
We believe that Signal will emerge again with the price around $250.00 but if it does before that, we will again turn long-term buyers on Tesla regardless of the price.

First Solar (FSLR)First Solar (FSLR): Pullback Creates an Attractive Entry Point
FSLR has fallen from its June high of $320.95 to around $210, while the company has maintained its 2026 guidance.
First Solar (FSLR)
Entry price in report: $210
Current price (September 11, 2026): $206.62
Target: $255
Stop-loss: $185
Horizon: November 9, 2026
Investment thesis
First Solar maintained its 2026 guidance after Q2 and continues expanding manufacturing capacity in the United States. The company also has a substantial contracted backlog extending through 2030, providing relatively strong visibility into future shipments and revenue.
Its competitive position remains differentiated by its cadmium telluride thin-film technology. Unlike most global solar manufacturers, First Solar is not dependent on the crystalline-silicon supply chain, a large part of which is concentrated in Asia. This technological difference has become increasingly important amid the expansion of U.S. manufacturing and stronger trade protection.
Q2 results remained strong. Revenue was approximately $1.06 billion, while net income rose to $423 million from $342 million a year earlier. EPS increased to $3.92 from $3.18, and adjusted EBITDA reached $644 million. First Solar maintained its full-year 2026 outlook for revenue of $4.9–5.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $2.6–2.8 billion.
The main issue remains the pace of new bookings. Backlog declined to 45.1 GW as of June 30, but after Q2 the company reported around 1.9 GW of new U.S. bookings, with more than 2 GW subject to conditions and roughly another 2 GW under active negotiations.
At around $210, FSLR trades at approximately 7.7x 2026 EV/EBITDA. The $255 target corresponds to roughly 9.5x 2026 EV/EBITDA and 7.8x 2027 EV/EBITDA.
Key catalyst: Q3 earnings expected in late October. The market will be watching new bookings and confirmation of full-year guidance.
Main risks: weaker new-order growth, changes in government support, international capacity utilization, and competition from lower-cost silicon modules.
Report recommendation: BUY

Energy Fuels (UUUU): Uranium LeaderEnergy Fuels (UUUU): Uranium Leader With a Rare Earths Growth Engine
Energy Fuels Inc. (UUUU)
Sector: Energy
Ticker: UUUU
Rating: Buy
Entry Price (at the time of analysis): $14.29
Target Price: $18.00
Stop-Loss: $11.80
Investment Horizon: Through November 3, 2026
From Uranium Producer to Rare Earths Leader
Energy Fuels combines its position as the largest U.S. uranium producer with a rapidly expanding role as a vertically integrated player in the rare earths market - a second growth engine that we believe remains underappreciated by the market.
After falling nearly 49% from its 52-week high of $27.90 to approximately $14.29, the stock is trading at a significant discount.
Uranium remains structurally undersupplied. The investment thesis for Energy Fuels is supported by the same macro drivers underpinning the broader uranium sector. Global electricity demand is expected to increase by 157% by 2050, while artificial intelligence and data centers are emerging as significant and rapidly growing sources of demand for nuclear power.
The World Nuclear Association has raised its base-case forecast for reactor uranium requirements from 175 million pounds of U3O8 in 2024 to 391 million pounds by 2040. Meanwhile, Sprott estimates that the cumulative uranium supply deficit could reach 1.25 billion pounds by 2045 under its base-case scenario.
U.S. policy provides an additional tailwind for domestic producers. A series of executive actions aimed at revitalizing the U.S. nuclear industry could result in additional domestic uranium demand equivalent to nearly twice current global production. As the largest uranium miner in the United States, Energy Fuels is positioned to be one of the direct beneficiaries of this policy shift.
Energy Fuels operates the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the only operating conventional uranium mill in the United States. This gives the company control over the entire value chain, from mining to finished uranium products.
In Q2 2026, the company mined 315,000 pounds of U3O8, bringing first-half production to 740,000 pounds. It also produced 865,000 pounds of finished U3O8 during the quarter, keeping it on track with its full-year processing guidance of 1.5–2.5 million pounds.
Production costs were approximately $23 per pound, a level analysts consider among the lowest for mined uranium producers globally.
The company’s financial position remains strong despite reporting a quarterly loss. Uranium sales revenue totaled $25.1 million in Q2, while the net loss widened to $33.6 million from $21.8 million a year earlier.
Management attributed the larger loss primarily to expenses related to the planned transactions involving Vacuumschmelze (VAC) and Australian Strategic Materials (ASM), rather than to any deterioration in the underlying business.
At the end of June, Energy Fuels had approximately $996 million in working capital, including $58.4 million in cash and $878.3 million in marketable securities. This provides substantial financial flexibility to fund growth without an immediate need to raise additional equity.
The Rare Earths Growth Opportunity
The second pillar of the investment thesis is Energy Fuels’ strategic expansion into rare earth elements, which are critical to permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense applications.
Shareholders have approved the approximately $1.9 billion acquisition of VAC, which would add downstream magnet manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition of ASM was expected to close by the end of August 2026.
At the White Mesa Mill, construction has already begun on facilities designed to produce heavy rare earth oxides, with completion targeted for late 2027 or 2028.
The Donald Project joint venture provides access to monazite-based feedstock, strengthening the company’s upstream supply chain.
Another important milestone was Energy Fuels’ qualification as a supplier of terbium oxide to a major Japanese magnet manufacturer. This opens a pathway for the company to sell rare earth products directly to end users rather than remaining solely a supplier of raw materials.
Key Risks
The primary risk is execution.
Integrating the nearly $2 billion VAC acquisition while simultaneously completing the ASM transaction will require significant management attention and financial resources. Any delays or integration challenges could disappoint the market.
The company also continues to generate net losses. While current liquidity appears sufficient, further expansion could eventually require additional equity financing, creating dilution risk for existing shareholders.
Uranium prices remain a key driver of the core business. Rare earth pricing adds another source of revenue volatility, particularly given strong competition from China.
Finally, as with the broader uranium sector, any serious nuclear power plant accident could temporarily weigh on investor sentiment, regardless of Energy Fuels’ company-specific fundamentals.

Is ORACLE About to Surprise on Earnings? The market has been quite choppy recently, largely due to fluctuations in Treasury yields and shifting expectations around the path of interest rates. Despite the broader uncertainty, the software sector has staged a meaningful recovery over the past few months. Oracle (ORCL), however, has continued to lag behind many of its peers and is currently trading near the lower end of its broader fair value range.
From a technical perspective, there are a few recent developments that make the current setup particularly interesting. ORCL swept the previous range low while simultaneously testing the range Value Area Low (VAL) — an area that has historically represented a discounted valuation zone for the stock over the past two years.
Since then, price has managed to reclaim the most traded zone highlighted in yellow, otherwise known as the Point of Control (POC). This is an important development, as acceptance back above the POC increases the probability of price rotating through the range toward the opposite side of the value range. In this case, that creates a potential path toward the Value Area High, which currently sits around the $195–$200 region.
Fundamentally, Oracle has also performed well over the last three quarters. If the company can maintain that momentum, the upcoming earnings report could serve as a catalyst for the stock to begin closing some of the performance gap between ORCL and the broader software sector.
At current levels, I like the risk-to-reward profile for a potential swing trade, with my primary target sitting around $195–$200. That area represents the first major upside objective and would be an important zone to reassess price action.
If ORCL can break through and establish acceptance above the $200 region, the setup becomes considerably more interesting. From there, I would be watching for a potential continuation toward the next major pivot around $250, followed ultimately by a possible retest of the all-time highs.
For now, the thesis is relatively straightforward: ORCL has swept the lower end of its range, tested an area of historical value, and reclaimed the Point of Control while the broader software sector continues to recover. The next step is seeing whether buyers can maintain that reclaim and begin pushing price toward the upper end of the range.
Let’s see how the setup develops over the next week!

$MSTR: Weekly Crossback + Daily BNB1 + 65m 3 Bar Play⚛️HTF Context 🔭
NASDAQ:MSTR is building constructive multi-timeframe continuation structure. On the Weekly chart, price has put in a Wedge Pop and is now working through a Crossback. That is the first meaningful pullback and retest phase after the impulsive move, and it can create a strong continuation location if support holds.
The Daily is beginning to form a BNB1, showing that price is consolidating rather than immediately giving back the prior expansion.
LTF Structure 🧱
On the 65m, price is tightening into a 4 Bar Play. This is the execution pattern I am focused on. A 4BP gives a defined compression range and a clear decision point for whether buyers are ready to resume control.
The cleaner scenario is a break above the 4BP high followed by acceptance, participation, and continued respect of the rising 65m structure.
Cycle Position ♻️
Weekly Wedge Pop → Crossback
Daily BNB1
65m 3 Bar Play compression
This is not about predicting. It is about waiting for lower-timeframe compression to confirm in alignment with the higher-timeframe structure.
Continuation Scenario 🟢
A clean break and hold above the 65m 4BP high would signal that the consolidation is resolving higher. Ideally, price expands from the range without immediately losing the breakout level.
Failure Scenario 🔴
The idea fails if price breaks the 4BP high, rejects, and accepts back into the pattern or loses the 65m higher-low structure. No acceptance above the trigger, no trade.
Execution Mindset 🎯
I am not chasing a candle. I am watching for Location → Compression → Confirmation.

HIMS (Hims & Hers): Navigating Regulatory Friction
If you want a textbook example of explosive revenue growth colliding with heavy regulatory overhang, NYSE:HIMS is the chart to watch.
Looking at the 4-hour timeframe, the stock has suffered a brutal markdown from the $60 zone down to a capitulation bottom near $15. This was driven by a combination of a July 2026 FTC lawsuit regarding data privacy practices and an earlier FDA crackdown on compounded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. However, the price is currently staging a fierce reversal, up 4.73% to $28.81, and successfully reclaiming the dynamic moving average.
The Fundamental Drivers & Moat
Despite the legal headlines, the underlying business is generating massive cash.
Surging Demand: Q2 2026 revenue hit $753 million, representing roughly 40% year-over-year growth. The platform boasts well over 2.5 million subscribers, validating their highly sticky, recurring revenue model.
The GLP-1 Pivot: After the FDA cracked down on compounded semaglutide, Hims pivoted strategically. They ceased promoting compounded GLP-1s and signed a direct distribution partnership with Novo Nordisk to sell branded Ozempic and Wegovy.
The Moat: Their competitive advantage is no longer just being a telehealth disruptor; it is their massive, locked-in distribution network. By transitioning to a certified distribution partner for Big Pharma, they act as the primary digital storefront for highly sought-after treatments, backed by a personalized care ecosystem.
The Technical Structure & Execution Plan
The chart shows a classic accumulation pattern following a capitulation event.
The Setup: The stock has established a solid floor in the low $20s and is currently pressing against local resistance in the $28.00 to $31.50 block. The moving average is curling upward, signaling a shift in near-term momentum.
The Trigger: I am looking for a confirmed 4-hour close above the $31.60 resistance level to signal a definitive structural breakout.
Price Targets: Once the $31.60 resistance is cleared, the immediate liquidity draw is the $36.70 zone. If the broader market absorbs the regulatory noise, the mid-term target is a gap-fill back to the $50.00 structural level shown on the chart.
Risk Management: Because this stock is highly sensitive to FTC and FDA news, keep a hard stop loss below the $25.40 support level.
