Quantum's TSLA & NVDA Trades 8/1/25Simply breaking down what I look at going into the trading day. Premarket watchlist was short but nailed TSLA short for 150% and could have made double that on TSLA and NVDA longs. Due to hitting my daily goals I had to walk away to avoid overtrading but what an amazing day.

Catch the bounce on NVDAHi, I'm The Cafe Trader.
We’re taking a deeper dive into NVIDIA (NVDA) — one of the leaders in the MAG 7 — with a short-term trade setup you can apply to both shares and options.
Setup Context:
NVDA is pushing into all-time highs, and we’re now approaching the average analyst price target (around $180). While we don’t know how price will react at this level, traders should be watching for pullbacks and trend continuations — prime zones for entry.
If we get a strong move down, I see $153 as a high-probability bounce area — where buyers are likely to step in aggressively.
Price Target Outlook:
The final price target will depend on how price moves into this zone:
- If NVDA runs to $200 before pulling back, targets shift higher.
- If it tops out around $180, we adjust accordingly.
That said, an initial bounce toward $169–$170 looks reasonable.
Options Note:
If NVDA sells off hard and fast, implied volatility (IV) will spike, making options expensive and reducing your edge. This is a setup that could play out over 2–3 weeks, but the first bounce could be quick — so timing matters.
Strategy: Staggered Entry Using Two Contracts
Use two contracts — one short-term, one mid-term — to maximize reward while managing time decay.
Contract 1: Short-Term (3–5 Days to Expiry)
Trigger Entry: As soon as price taps the demand zone (~$153)
Strike Entry Price ^^Target Price
155 $2.00 ^^ $6.00
157.5 $1.50 ^^ $4.50
160 $0.75 ^^ $2.50
You’re looking for a quick reaction: get in, take profit, and step aside while the market finds new balance.
Contract 2: Medium-Term (7–10 Days to Expiry)
Timing Tip: Wait for NVDA to stall or consolidate after the initial bounce — this is when IV comes down and contracts get cheaper.
Strike Entry Price ^^Target Price
155 $3.00 ^^ $15.00
157.5 $2.50 ^^ $12.50
160 $1.80 ^^$9.00
Important: Be careful trading too close to earnings. Contracts tend to get overpriced right before and after earnings drops.
That wraps up the short-term NVDA view.
Stay tuned for more trades and setups across the MAG 7.

Nvidia’s Historic 2025 Stock Rally: What’s Driving It?Nvidia’s stock has once again captivated Wall Street in 2025, breaking records and fueling debates on whether its blistering momentum will continue or eventually ease. Here’s an in-depth look at why Nvidia is surging, the key drivers behind the rally, and what the long-term future could hold.
Nvidia’s Stock Rally: By the Numbers
As of July 2025, Nvidia stock has rallied more than 39% year-to-date, reaching new all-time highs above $170 and propelling the company’s market cap past $4 trillion, the largest in the world.
The stock has added nearly $2 trillion in valuation since April, outpacing tech giants like Microsoft and Apple.
Analyst price targets for the rest of 2025 vary: the average ranges from ~$174 to ~$235, with bullish forecasts up to $250 and more cautious targets down to $135.
What’s Powering the Rally?
1. Surging AI Demand:
Nvidia remains at the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Its graphics and AI accelerator chips (notably the new Blackwell AI family) are the backbone of AI infrastructure for Global Tech firms (Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google) and cloud service providers. This AI-centric demand has kept revenue growth robust and margins high (approaching 70%).
2. Easing China Trade Fears:
Earlier in 2025, U.S.–China export controls severely restricted Nvidia’s sales of advanced AI chips like the H20 to Chinese customers, causing a temporary selloff. However, a subsequent pause on tariffs by the U.S. and optimism about renewed China shipments reignited investor confidence, helping reverse earlier losses and extending the rally.
3. Massive Tech Investment Cycle:
The global rush to build out AI infrastructure is bringing huge investments from U.S. and international hyperscalers. Meta and Amazon alone have announced plans to pour “hundreds of billions” into AI data centers, much of it destined for Nvidia-powered hardware.
4. Strong Fundamentals and Diversification:
Nvidia sports some of the highest profit margins among mega-cap tech stocks. Its free cash flow, dominant market share, and expanding ecosystem, including platforms like Omniverse (for 3D and digital twins) and Drive (autonomous vehicles)—cement its leadership well beyond just chips.
What Could Slow Nvidia Down?
Despite the excitement, several risks linger:
Valuation Concerns: Nvidia trades at a premium (P/E above 50 for trailing earnings), raising worries of a pullback if growth slows.
Geopolitical and Regulatory Threats: Further U.S.-China tensions, new export regulations, or rising competition from rivals like AMD, Huawei, or custom silicon at cloud giants could erode growth or margins.
Cyclicality of the AI Boom: Some market watchers worry that AI infrastructure spending could prove cyclical, making Nvidia’s revenue growth more volatile in future years.
The Long-Term Outlook (2025 & Beyond)
Bullish Case: Most analysts expect continued dominance for Nvidia as AI, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and edge computing keep growing exponentially. Price targets range as high as $250 for 2025, climbing to $1,000+ by 2030 if AI adoption continues its rapid expansion.
Base Case: Moderate growth continues into 2026–2027, with a price target cluster around $180–$235 (2025) and $200–$428 (2027), assuming AI demand moderates, margins remain stable, and Nvidia fends off competitive threats.
Bearish Case: If U.S.-China relations sour and hyperscaler spending slows, the stock could retest support levels ($135–$150). However, few analysts expect a sustained collapse unless there is a fundamental change in AI or chip technology trends.

Why To Draw Before You Trade ?Hello fellow traders and respected members of the trading community, In a fast paced market dominated by automation and algorithms, we often forget the value of simply picking up a tool and drawing on our charts. Let’s revisit why this fundamental habit still holds the power to sharpen our edge and elevate our decision-making.
Why We Should Draw and Trade? Turning Charts Into Clarity
Introduction-:
In an age of auto-generated indicators, black-box algorithms, and AI-driven signals, many traders are drifting away from one of the most fundamental trading tools: manual chart drawing.
But what if the very act of drawing is not just an old habit—but a powerful trading edge?
This publication explores why actively drawing on charts and trading based on visual context can elevate your market understanding and execution like nothing else.
1. What Does It Mean to “Draw and Trade? Drawing isn’t just technical analysis it’s interactive thinking. When you draw, you're mapping the structure of the market using tools like
Trendlines
Support & Resistance zones
Chart Patterns (Head & Shoulders, Flags, Triangles, etc.)
Supply & Demand levels
Gaps, Fibonacci levels, and more
Once the chart is marked, you’re no longer entering trades blindly you’re entering with context, clarity, and confidence.
2. The Psychology Behind Drawing
Manual drawing engages your focus, discipline, and decision-making. You don’t just predict, you process and It forces you to slow down helping reduce impulsive trades. Drawing anchors your emotions and keeps you mindful. The act of drawing becomes a psychological filter—helping you trade from structure, not stress.
3. Why It Beats Indicator Only Trading?
Indicators are reactive. Drawing is proactive.
Here’s the difference:
Indicators show what already happened
Drawing lets you prepare for what could happen
You learn to-:
Anticipate breakouts, fakeouts, and reversals, Understand market structure and Develop your own strategy not depend on someone else's signal. In short you become the strategist, not just a follower.
4. The “Chart Time” Advantage
Just like pilots need flight hours, traders need chart hours. Drawing charts manually gives you those hours.
You start to see patterns that repeat and notice behavior shifts before they show on indicators. Build a visual memory of how the market moves and It’s this visual experience that separates analysts from traders.
5. Real-World Edge: Case Studies
Wyckoff Distribution: Mapping the structure—BC, AR, ST, UT, LPSY—helps anticipate smart money exits.
Gap Zones: Marking an old breakaway gap can help predict future rejection or support
Demand Zones + Fib Confluence: Drawing reveals high-probability reversal zones most indicators miss
Each drawing becomes a trade-ready story with logic and risk control.
6. From Drawing to Discipline
Drawing is not just prep it’s planning. You trade with a clear plan and pre-identified entry/exit zones this reduced emotional interference and It becomes your personal visual rulebook. No noise no randomness just structure driven action.
7. Final Thoughts: The Trader’s Mind vs. The Machine
Yes, AI and indicators are useful.
But your most powerful edge?
Your mind.
Your eyes.
Your experience sharpened through drawing.
If you want to evolve from a reactive trader to a consistent performer, here’s the golden rule:
Stop watching. Start drawing. Trade what you see, not what you hope.
I hope you will like this post, Thanks for giving your valuable time for reading.

NVDA - Few Warning Signs Please refer to our previous post:
Here we were pointing out the structural break of our blue trendline on the daily. It acted as support the whole way up (green arrows) and now has been flipped into resistance so far (red arrows).
Also if you look at the chart on the right we had a MAJOR bearish signal flash. A weekly gravestone doji formed which could end up marking the top. We haven't had the confirmation yet, but depending on how price action play out this week we could have a very good idea of what next.
If we see bearish momentum and this weekly candle flip red that could be the first sign of this gravestone marking the top as it is a reversal candle. That would also send our strength on the RSI below the 70 which could look as a rejection from overbought conditions.
However, if we are able to maintain this weekly candle green (better yet break the gravestone doji high) that would show strength bouncing from overbought and send us towards that $200 target.

99% of people buying $NVDA don't understand this:🚨99% of people buying NASDAQ:NVDA don't understand this:
NASDAQ:GOOGL : “We’re boosting AI capex by $10B.”
Wall Street: “Cool, that’s like $1B or 0.06 per share for $NVDA.”
So from $170.50 at the time of news to $170.56 right?
No.
NASDAQ:NVDA trades at 98× earnings. So that $0.06? Turns into $6.00
Why?
Because people are expecting that to be happening every single year for 98 years and they're paying All of it Today in Full amount.
So NASDAQ:NVDA will get $1B more per year. But NASDAQ:NVDA price per share already increased by $100B in past 2 days 😂
Then it crashes 40% and everyone is wondering why.
NVDA - LTF Breakdown This is an update to our last post:
After finding support upon this trendline for so many test we are now seeing the first signs of weakness. As soon as price fell below our trendline we saw a very sharp decline in price.
Now that trendline could act as a new level of resistance. Any test back to the upside could be a test of blue trendline as resistance + test of last high (which could create some sort of double top). Will update this post when more developments occur.
