$MU: Another Swing Profit — What’s Next Before Q4 Earnings?In my NASDAQ:MU analysis last week, I mentioned:
“On the 4H timeframe, NASDAQ:MU has broken out of a triangle structure with strong volume, followed by the formation of a bullish H4 Order Block at $940–920.”
After the market opened this week, NASDAQ:MU pulled back into the bullish H4 OB and reacted strongly, delivering another ~6% swing profit. 📈
🔘 My Current Plan
I’m holding my position and waiting for price to break above the 0.5 level of the trading range — the $1,000 area.
As mentioned last week, if price pulls back toward the $850 area (fib 0.618-0.66),
I’ll continue scaling into the position.
🔘 A Different Perspective
Today, I want to look at NASDAQ:MU from a different angle: earnings-driven price action.
Q2 FY2026 — March 18, 2026
$415 → $800
Q3 FY2026 — June 24, 2026
$965 → $1,255
Q4 FY2026 — September 30, 2026, after market close
$900 → ?
The next earnings report could become another major catalyst for $MU.
Micron has officially scheduled its Q4 FY2026 earnings release for September 30, 2026, with the earnings call following after the U.S. market close.
I’m also currently participating in the KCGI Trading Competition.
Since I started sharing my NASDAQ:MU swing-trading plan on TradingView back in July, the strategy has already delivered five swing-trade profits.
Hopefully, this next swing can help me put up another strong result in the competition. 🚀
Structure first. Earnings next. Price action will tell us the rest.

Salesforce Raises Guidance and Launches $25 Billion Buyback Salesforce Raises Guidance and Launches $25 Billion Buyback to Calm the Market
By Ion Jauregui – ActivTrades Analyst
Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) decided to use its Investor Day, held this Wednesday as part of Dreamforce in San Francisco, to send a clear signal of confidence to a market that had been questioning the company's growth pace for months. The firm raised its revenue guidance for fiscal year 2027 to a range of $46.1 billion to $46.4 billion, a year-over-year increase of between 11% and 12%, and reaffirmed its target of $63 billion for 2030, above the average of $61.4 billion projected by the analyst consensus compiled by Bloomberg.
I believe this move is no coincidence. The company needed a catalyst that would turn the narrative back in its favor, and it found it on two fronts: the upward guidance and an accelerated share buyback of $25 billion, whose final settlement will be completed in October. Robin Washington, Chief Financial and Operating Officer, emphasized at the conference that the company has already repurchased a cumulative $60 billion in its own shares, although it's worth noting that this program was financed with debt: $25 billion in senior notes issued in March, which left the company with $33.3 billion in unsecured liabilities as of the close of July.
The real backbone of the story remains Agentforce. Its annual recurring revenue already exceeded $1.5 billion, with growth of more than 240% year-over-year, and when combined with Data 360, the figure is around $3.9 billion.
On the technical side, the stock closed yesterday at $243.18. The point of control (POC) is located around $185.49, within the prior price zone, which leaves the stock trading well above that historical volume reference. Moving average crossovers point to an uptrend and a trend change, with the increase in value sustained since the bullish gap opened on Thursday, August 27, which for now appears to be holding without being filled. The RSI stands at 56.87%, after having gone through a period of elevated overbought conditions, indicating that momentum has cooled into a more neutral-to-bullish zone. However, the RSI is trading above the histogram in an incremental downward trend, a divergence worth watching: the price is rising, but the underlying momentum is progressively losing strength.
Currently, the price is moving within the range prior to the yearly lows of $147.55, hit in June, placing the stock in a technical rebuilding zone following that bottom. In my view, as long as the August gap support holds, the short-term bias remains constructive, although the bearish momentum divergence calls for caution before chasing the move without additional confirmation.

SMCI Resistance (or Support), Rejection, and NegotiationYesterday around 4 AM, I posted:
“Is SMCI in the Early Stages of Another Short Squeeze?”
At the time, SMCI was trading around $37.
Since then, price pushed into the $41 area, and now we are at the exact type of decision point that matters more to me than the move that got us here.
This chart is a good example of three concepts I use a lot:
Resistance
Rejection
Negotiation
First, resistance formed.
Then price came back up, interacted with that area again, and was rejected.
That second interaction helped define the descending trendline we are now watching.
From there, a few things could have happened the next time price came back into that level:
It could reject again.
It could break straight through.
Or it could negotiate around the level.
This time, it negotiated.
That matters.
A negotiation is when price spends several candles interacting around the same area instead of immediately being pushed away.
It does not tell you whether the final outcome will be bullish or bearish.
Negotiation can still end in:
a breakout
or
a rejection
What it does give you is time.
Time to assess.
Time to look at volume.
Time to look at the broader market.
Time to determine whether buyers are actually gaining control or whether sellers are simply absorbing the move before another rejection.
That is why I like negotiations much more than trying to guess a one- or two-candle rejection.
Rejections can offer high reward, but they are also high risk because the decision happens quickly.
Negotiation gives you more information.
And right now, that is exactly what I think SMCI is giving us.
My current assessment is simple:
If the broader market begins to recover, I think SMCI has a strong chance of recovering with it.
If buyers can eventually establish acceptance above this trendline, the original short-squeeze thesis remains alive.
But that is not the only bullish outcome.
This could also simply evolve into standard bullish continuation:
break resistance → establish support → continue higher
That would still be constructive even without a violent squeeze.
And one important point:
I removed the bearish rejection path from the current map.
I did not remove bearish rejection from the list of possibilities.
SMCI is still sitting at a major decision area.
If the broader market weakens, buyers fail to hold reclaimed structure, and this negotiation resolves lower, the picture can turn bearish very quickly.
That is the entire point of mapping the possibilities before they happen.
I do not need to know exactly which path wins.
I need to understand what each behavior means when it shows up.
Right now:
Resistance formed.
Rejection confirmed it.
Negotiation is testing it.
Now we wait to see who wins.

SKHY: news flow leaning bullish — the net read
SKHY did not get one story today, it got several, and they do not all point the same way. Weighed against each other — new against old, and tracking which ones have already faded:
++ SK Hynix's Solidigm unit is weighing NAND memory chip factory in US, sources say - Reuters
++ CXMT plans flash memory chip expansion amid global shortage- Reuters
11 stories were weighed in this window; the 2 carrying the most weight are listed.
Net read: +++ leaning bullish — top of our scale.
What this is: a measure of which way the *news* is leaning right now — not a promise about price. A read being right and a read still being worth taking are two different things: once price has travelled a long way from where the read was published, it is stretched, and a lean that is stretched is a no-chase rather than an invitation.
Weight is not fixed either. A fresh headline lands, the balance tips, and the net read can flip inside an hour — that shift is the part worth watching, not the first print.
I will post an update under this idea once the market has had time to speak, either way.

$ANET Wedge Break (VCP)Trend and Consolidation
Arista Networks began its current uptrend in April 2026. While the uptrend remains intact, the move has been volatile and likely difficult to hold through. I now find the consolidation that began in early August more constructive. The wedging pattern shows volatility contracting, forming what Mark Minervini has popularized as the Volatility Contraction Pattern, or VCP. The stock broke out of that VCP yesterday and closed in the upper half of the breakout candle.
Support and Resistance
I have drawn a trend support line, along with what appear to be two areas of resistance. The lower resistance line has much heavier trading volume, so that is the area where I would expect to see the most meaningful upward resistance.
Position Management
I opened a half-size position on September 3rd on the reversal candle, with a stop below that day’s low. I increased the position to full size yesterday on the VCP breakout. I will continue to evaluate my stop based on any break of the lower trend support area.
Trading Considerations
Depending on your individual trading or investing rules, this setup may still be actionable. However, I am not advising anyone to take a trade. I share these chart maps in the hope that they help others identify possible actionable chart behavior within the broader setup.
Again, this is not trading or investing advice. If you like this idea, make it your own and follow your own trading rules. After all, it is your capital at risk.

ZETA | Weekly Structure | $38 Is the Next Key TestThesis:
ZETA continues to look constructive on the weekly chart. In my view, the stock is currently developing a Subwave 4 pullback within a larger Wave 3 structure. As long as price continues to hold in the $27-$29 area, I expect the next move to be a push toward the all-time-high resistance around $38. If that level is reclaimed, the longer-term structure continues to point much higher.
Context
- Weekly timeframe
- This is an update to my earlier ZETA view
- ZETA broke out of its bullish wedge in June, retested the breakout area from above and held
- That successful retest was followed by a strong move higher, helped by another strong earnings report
- Price is now consolidating after that impulsive advance
- My average entry and the one of my copiers is approximately $18.53
- Even after the recent move, I still view the stock as being in the middle of a larger bullish cycle rather than at the end of it
What I see
- The larger structure continues to look like Wave 3 is still in progress
- The current pullback fits well as a Subwave 4 correction within that larger move
- Price has already completed the breakout from the wedge and confirmed it with a retest
- That was an important technical development because it changed the character of the chart materially
- The current consolidation is happening above the breakout area, which is constructive
- The $27-$29 area is where I want to see support continue to hold
- The next major resistance is the all-time-high area around $38
- If that level breaks, the chart opens the door to the next higher-degree targets
What matters now
- $27-$29 is the key support area I am watching in the near term
- Holding that area keeps the current bullish structure intact
- The next important upside test is the all-time-high resistance around $38
- A clean break above $38 would strengthen the case that the next leg of Wave 3 is underway
- Until then, I am treating the current move as consolidation inside a constructive trend rather than as a reversal
Buy / Accumulation zone
- The current accumulation area remains around the rising support structure shown on the chart
- Near term, I want to see price continue holding approximately $27-$29
- My average entry is approximately $18.53
- I am not interested in chasing emotional breakouts after a large move
- I prefer using technically constructive consolidations inside strong trends
- ZETA continues to fit that framework for me
Targets
- Near-term support: approximately $27-$29
- Next key resistance: approximately $38
- Higher-degree Wave 3 target: approximately $70
- If that target is reached, I would expect to trim part of the position
- A future pullback into approximately the $45-$50 area would then become interesting for potential recycling
- Ultimate long-term target: approximately $105
Portfolio note
ZETA is one of the clearest examples of why I like combining long-term technical structure with fundamental conviction.
The breakout in June, the successful retest, and the strong post-earnings reaction all confirmed that the market was beginning to recognize the setup again.
Since then, the chart has behaved in a constructive way.
My approach here is straightforward. I want to see the current consolidation hold above the $27-$29 area, then I want to see whether ZETA can make its way back to the $38 all-time-high resistance.
If that level breaks, I believe the larger Wave 3 structure can continue developing toward the $70 area.
That remains my main target for this phase of the cycle, while $105 stays the longer-term objective if the broader structure continues to play out.
