6/24/25 - $arm - Short $arm, long $nvda trade6/24/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NASDAQ:ARM
Short NASDAQ:ARM , long NASDAQ:NVDA trade
- the trade that keeps on giving
- NASDAQ:ARM on it's NASDAQ:NVDA pair (ARM/NVDA) has only been down and do the right, the chart is not something you'd want to step in front of unless you knew of "why" it would fundamentally change
- NASDAQ:ARM trades at a valuation that's 2x NVDA, but the company grows half as fast, has lower margins and generally is size-constrained in a game of scale (TSM will take NVDA all day every day over anyone, incl. ARM demand)
- so while it's tough to time "short semis" - and generally I think semis remain the best MT/LT beta in the market mainly because the AI-trade IMHO remains (dystopianly - i know not a word) in the earlier innings than converse... we've just retraced the entire march/april move from lows back to highs?
- the market has a super short memory
- people are renting their exposure (0dte's). positioning remains stretched. i still like a lot of cash here and good hedges.
- but i'm happy to play the pair between arm and nvda. i'm using $150 strikes (same expiry) for both, equally OTM for both, arm on the put side, nvda on the long side
- my guess is any sell off in beta pulls arm down 2x the nvda beta and any further move higher could suck oxygen out of a tired arm with worse valuation underpinnings and rotating into nvda (a better "store of value") and leading to nvda dominance on the arm chart (again referencing the ARM/NVDA pair trade... lower... forever)

Fundamental Analysis
Déjà Vu: Echoes of 2018 in Today’s MarketI’ve spotted a striking resemblance between the current price action and the 2018 market structure. This emerging fractal might be a key to anticipating what comes next.
🧩 Similarities between the 2018–2020 and 2025 corrections AMEX:SPY CME_MINI:MES1! OANDA:SPX500USD CME_MINI:ES1! TVC:SPX :
Technical similarities:
Drawdown depth: roughly ~21% from peak to bottom
Correction shape: similar wave structure — a double zigzag (dZ)
Reversal dynamic: V-shaped bottom followed by a smooth, rounded recovery to ATH without sharp retracements
Behavior around key MAs:
– test of the 200-week MA as support
– brief breakdown below the 200-day MA, then quick reclaim (fake-out)
Volume profile: increased volume during the selloff, resembling capitulation before reversal
🌍 Key macro parallels:
Fed tightening cycle: Both periods saw interest rate hikes and QT against a backdrop of strong economic data.
Policy shift: In both cases, Powell started with a hawkish tone and softened it after the correction (2019: “mid-cycle adjustment” with three rate cuts).
Strong labor market: Unemployment hovered near 50-year lows (~3.5% in 2019; 3.4% in 2023), suggesting an overheated economy.
🌐 Trade risks: 2018 vs 2025
– 2018: escalation of the US–China trade war
– 2025: rising global protectionism, supply chain pressures, and tariffs
This leads to higher costs → margin compression
In both cases, risks to global demand and corporate earnings
This fractal aligns well with both of my long-term wave count scenarios:
Base scenario:
We’re inside a large impulse, where wave 3 is experiencing a classic extension. This implies the bull market could stretch into the 2030s, with smoother phases of growth and distribution. In this view, the current structure resembles a second wave forming as an rFL.
Alternative scenario:
The ongoing correction is wave 4 of a large cycle. After this volatile phase, a final rally — the terminal wave of this supercycle — is expected to follow.
Gold is obviously suppressed, so we must go short!Yesterday, gold continued to fluctuate and fall under pressure at the 3360 mark. The US market further accelerated downward to break through the 3300 integer mark and reached a weak closing near 3295. The daily K-line closed with a suppressed fall and broke the bottom of the middle shadow. The overall gold price continued to fluctuate and fall in a weak rhythm. After reaching the lowest level of 3295, it rebounded and closed at 3323. Today, it opened at 3324. As of now, it has reached the highest level of 3337. At present, we are focusing on the suppression of 3340-3348. If the rebound is under pressure, we can still intervene in short orders. The recent market trends are basically the same - bottoming out and rebounding. In terms of operation, continue to keep shorting under pressure and long positions after bottoming out and rebounding.
From the current market trend, today's upper short-term resistance focuses on the 3338-3342 area. If it rebounds to this range and is under pressure, you can consider choosing an opportunity to arrange short orders. The lower support focuses on the 3315-3305 line. If it falls back and stabilizes, there is a possibility of a short-term rebound. The overall situation is still in a range-bound structure. It is recommended to focus on key points, buy high and sell low, follow the trend, and strictly control risks. For more specific operation points, please pay attention to the 🌐 notification at the bottom.

$DXY Repeating 2016 Post-Election I have highlighted the 2016 to 2020 Presidential Elections time period and then pasted that timeframe onto the 2024 election and found that the pattern is going along very similarly to Trump 1.0.
If we assume that the future unfolds the same as last time, which is low probability, of course, then the future will unfold as shown in the yellow bars going into the future, as shown.
Initially in 2016 post election there was a 7% rally in the U.S. Dollar Index and then a 15% retreat for the following year. So far in 2025 we have seen the same rally and a similar decline, but only faster this time.
It would appear as thought the bulk majority of the declines in the TVC:DXY are over at this time with perhaps 4% further downside over the balance of the year.
The Dollar Index has been useful for predicting changes in the earnings estimates for the S&P500 in the USA due to the high percentage of earnings coming back to the US for quarterly reporting. I have posted a few charts in the past which have been helpful at determining the risk in the stock market.
The behavior of the global central banks has certainly had its impact on monetary aggregates and inflation. The policy response since the Covid Pandemic has been for maximum liquidity and maximum Government spending to keep the global economy afloat. The post-Covid response is now coming to a head along with new policy directives to cut wasteful Government spending and to reduce inflation (caused the Gov't spending).
Global investors have flocked to the US for access to high technology stocks and have driven up the value of US assets to extreme levels compared to other markets. This adjustment phase where investors remove money from overvalued, or highly valued, US assets back to other markets has created a wave of selling in the US Dollar and US listed equities.
What does the future hold? We never know but we sure can learn from what happened in the past by looking at charts just like this one to see what may happen. Looks like a bounce in the TVC:DXY from here, followed by a new low and then a rebound into the next few years.
All the best,
Tim

Oxford Industries | OXM | Long at $38.10Oxford Industries NYSE:OXM is an apparel company that designs, sources, markets, and distributes lifestyle brands like Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, and Southern Tide. While I am not super bullish on the retail sector given the blaring recession signals, I also don't think this is the end of life as we know it... the anticipated downside is already priced-in for many retail brands.
From a technical analysis perspective, NYSE:OXM has entered my "crash" simple moving average zone. Typically, but not always, this is an area where value investors accumulate shares in anticipation of a future rise in share price. While the price is likely to dip near $28-$30 in the near-term, the last open price gap on the daily chart since the COVID-19 pandemic was closed today. Also, last week, an NYSE:OXM Officer and the CEO bought just over $600,000 in shares near $40 and the stock is currently trading at book value.
Fundamentals:
P/E = 7.4x (apparel sector average = 22.4x)
Forward P/E = 11.4x
Dividend = 7.25%
Debt-to-equity = .2x (healthy)
Regardless of some strong fundamentals, persistent macro volatility, consumer caution, and tariff pressures may delay recovery. Analysts expect flat to declining sales in 2025, with limited organic growth. Like I mentioned above, while there is likely short-term pain here, the fundamentals are there to potentially weather the storm.
Thus, at $38.10, NYSE:OXM is in a personal buy zone with the further decline between $28-$30 likely (where additional share accumulation will occur as long as the fundamentals do not change).
Targets into 2027
$45.00 (+18.0%)
$50.00 (+31.2%)

TSLA Honey Ticking Bull Trap! UPDATE 1This is an updated chart, as I keep being prompted to reach "My Target" by TV.
No matter how bad things get for Elona and TSLA, there are always people who are willing to pile in and buy at any price. The problem is the chart is showing lower highs, as TSLA no longer attracts the people needed to boost price, just like TSLA the brand. As a result, people keep getting honey ticked.
Don't Get HONEY TICKED!
As I always say, never EVER!! Invest in toxic people like Elona. They always blow themselves up in the end. It's in their nature!

WTI looks to end bearish run after bullish inventories dataWe have had some more bullish oil news from the weekly US inventories report. It remains to be seen whether the news is enough to lift the oil price.
Following the API data overnight we had even more bullish-looking official inventories report from the US Department of Energy.
The fact that crude stocks fell for the 5th straight week certainly points to strong demand, pushing stockpiles to their lowest levels since January.
As well as the big headline draw, stocks of crude products fell sharply too. The 2 million barrel draw in gasoline inventories was much higher than the API report, and suggests the driving season is well and truly at full steam, when demand for gasoline tends to rise.
In case you missed it, the DoE reported the following numbers:
• Crude -5.84mm
• Cushing -464k
• Gasoline -2.08mm
• Distillates -4.07mm
Whether or not oil can now stage a meaningful rebound remains to be seen. It has certainly lost its entire risk premium associated with the Iran-Israel conflict. Perhaps it is up to the OPEC+ now to decide with the alliance due to hold discussions on July 6 to consider a further supply boost in August. Any hints of a slower supply boost could provide support to prices.

Ather’s Affordable EV Announcement Triggers Market Rally...Technical Analysis:
Ather Energy has successfully broken above the key resistance level of ₹330 and is currently trading around ₹340. This breakout is supported by a noticeable surge in volume, confirming bullish momentum. The ₹330 level, which previously acted as a strong resistance, may now serve as a potential support in the event of a retest. Traders and investors can look for buying opportunities on dips near ₹330, while those already holding the stock are advised to continue holding for further upside.
Fundamental Analysis:
From a fundamental standpoint, Ather’s maiden quarterly results have been encouraging. The company reported a one-third increase in revenue, while its EBITDA loss narrowed to ₹172 crore, down from ₹239 crore in the same quarter last year. This marks a significant step towards operational efficiency and profitability.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Ather recently announced that it will unveil its new EL EV platform and upcoming concept models in August 2025. The highlight of this announcement is that the new scooter will be Ather’s most affordable offering, signaling a strategic push to expand market penetration and compete in the mass segment of the EV market.
Conclusion:
The breakout at ₹330, supported by improving financial performance and strong product pipeline news, suggests a bullish outlook for Ather Energy in the near term. Investors should monitor the ₹330 level for price retest and accumulation opportunities. Holding is recommended for existing investors, while fresh entries can be considered on technical confirmation around support zones.
Note: Due to ongoing global uncertainties, market conditions may remain volatile. Investors are advised to exercise caution and manage risk accordingly.
The Ghost of 1986-1987 Stock Market Overlay onto $IWMThe 1986-1987 stock market advance was 48% as measured by the S&P500 Index SP:SPX from the low in late 1986 which peaked in August 1987 and crashed into October 19th's spectacular 20% decline in one day.
The advance in the Russell 2000 Index from the low in 2023 to the high in 2024 was 51%, topping the 48% gain in the SP:SPX and the meltdown wasn't as spectacular, but it was similar.
There were similar patterns in fears of trade wars, US dollar declines, new tax laws going into effect back then and tax laws sunsetting this time. Those you can go into by reviewing my other charts I have published over the years here.
I stretched the 1987 pattern to fit the low to the high, so it isn't "exactly" the same time day-to-day for this pattern.
I found it interesting because the chart of AMEX:IWM all by itself had the same "look" to me as the 1987 bull market and crash so I decided to put it together for you all here to see.
I would expect a choppy market from here on as people adjust to the new uncertainties. Sellers of this decline will be shy to reinvest anytime soon and buyers are likely afraid to step up and get aggressive with so much uncertainty.
Sentiment as measured by AAII shows an extremely fearful and reluctant investor class, which is typical to see at major market bottoms.
Wishing everyone peace and prosperity!

Australia's CPI slows, raising rate cut expectationsThe Australian dollar is showing limited movement on Wednesday. In the European session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6495, up 0.08% on the day.
Australia's inflation rate headed lower in May. Headline CPI rose 2.1%, after gains of 2.4% in the previous three months. This was below the market estimate of 2.3%. Monthly, CPI eased to 0.4%, driven by lower petrol and housing costs.
The key core CPI indicator, annual trimmed mean inflation, also dropped sharply, to 2.4% from 2.8%, its lowest level since Nov. 2021.
The soft inflation report has boosted the case for the Reserve Bank of Australia to lower rates at the July meeting. The markets have priced in a 90% probability of a quarter-point cut, up from 81% prior to the inflation release. The markets have priced in three more rate cuts this year, following rate cuts in February and May.
The markets are counting on the RBA to be dovish in the second half of 2025. With inflation not only within the RBA's target of 2-3% but also falling, the markets expect that the RBA will be keen to lower rates in order to preserve economic growth.
Federal Reserve Chair Powell testified before a House Committee on Tuesday and had a cautious message for lawmakers. Powell said that the Fed was committed to keeping inflation contained and that the Fed planned to maintain rates until the impact of tariffs on inflation was more clear and reiterated that inflation still remained above the Fed's 2% target.
Powell has faced blistering criticism from President Trump for not lowering rates. In his testimony, Powell said that Trump's attacks were "having no effects" on Fed policy.
AUD/USD pushed above resistance at 1.3726 and is testing resistance at 1.3727. Above, there is resistance at 1.3750
1.3713 and 1.3702 are the next support levels

Note: The chart shows a descending wedge pattern forming with high volume flushes into support — historically a bullish setup if it reclaims and holds above $185. A strong close above $191.77 can re-ignite momentum.

EURCADhello trader, the price of eurcad is all time high, but it can go further to previous high level or could surpass it, price in bullish uptrend channel in daily timeframe, the price did reached the main resistance level, this level has been tested multiple times but this time I think it won't hold (with week BOC fundamentals) as well the previous high could break too because that one also has been test before, the price wil likely make all new all time high.. good luck
CC | Long (Sector Rotation Test) | Deep Value| (June 25, 2025)SSL & CC | Direction: Long (Sector Rotation Test) | Key Reason: Deep Value vs. Debt-Stressed Growth | (June 25, 2025)
1️⃣ Insight Summary
Both SSL and CC operate in the chemicals sector and have compelling trade angles. SSL offers a deep-value bounce opportunity, while CC presents a more speculative, debt-heavy setup with potential delayed upside. This setup is perfect for testing how debt and cash flow influence mid-term performance in cyclical sectors.
2️⃣ Trade Parameters
SSL (Sasol Limited)
Entry: Already active (around $4.50)
Stop Loss: Below $1.00
TP1: $8.00
TP2: $13.50
TP3: $16.96
Max Target: $25.00
CC (Chemours Company)
Entry: Delay by 2–3 months (monitor technical base)
Stop Loss: Will depend on entry price (estimate below $16)
TP (Potential if momentum builds): ~$27, $33, and $40
3️⃣ Key Notes
✅ SSL Strengths:
Higher revenue ($14B+)
Lower market cap (~$2.9B), creating a value dislocation
Operates in essential energy/chemical exports—especially relevant to Africa
❌ SSL Risks:
Large debt, limited dividend, volatile performance
Must clear resistance near $8.00 for higher confidence
✅ CC Strengths:
$5B revenue and $800M net income looks strong on paper
Operates in advanced materials—semiconductors, plastics, energy efficiency
Technically might base in 2–3 months, giving entry on momentum
❌ CC Risks:
4️⃣ Follow-up Plan
We'll run both trades as a sector test: SSL now, CC later (when price action confirms). If debt burden really suppresses upside, SSL should outperform. If risk-on sentiment returns, CC could surprise late Q3/Q4.
