Hello everybody. Welcome to Trading the Close. My name is Drew Dosk and guys, up and away is the theme for the day. not for oil and not for the 10-year yield which actually went down helping the markets propel higher. But the major story of the day, AI monetization is here and has been proven by companies like Microsoft this week as well as Palunteer surging 30% up on the day. What a gain on that stock. Let's get into these stocks, break down these levels so you can see where this market is turning because things have changed particularly on the S&P 500 in which we have another brand new all-time high right here, guys. Look at the march up today and yesterday. I swear I almost have to remind myself just last week we were talking about this candle here on Wednesday potentially breaking back down into this parallel channel. One that I might remind you guys, look at this on the weekly time frame. This parallel goes all the way back here to October of 2022. You can cleanly see here, and I even highlighted this last week. Even when we were attempting to break down, I said, "Guys, look, every time when price got into the parallel, it was like it was a hot potato or hot water in here where they just dipped in and got right out. Dipped in, got right out. Dipped in, got right out. And then this the third time after doing so was the time in which we broke out making new all-time highs. And the other week I was saying guys look where all the closes are occurring up here on this chart. We had a move up and sideways consolidation. It kind of looked like a bullish consolidation on the weekly. Now on the daily it didn't necessarily look that way. We had head and shoulders patterns that got negated. We had this trend line in which we were following the bearish price action below. But man, two days out of all of these months of us talking about this, two days has lifted price up above the previous pivots and jammed straight into this resistance made by this inclining trend line from pivot to pivot to pivot to now pivot. So if you count that, that's more than three. So that means that this next hit has got a 50/50 shot of going through the top end. We're in price discovery mode at least right now on the spiders. We'll see if this trend line does hold us in the coming days considering this is a nice march up. We're not overbought near-term either, guys. But still, what an incredible march up tomorrow. Monitor that trend line 772 and.70. Now, the Q's are not in bright green new fresh territory. We're still hidden amongst all of this consolidation. Tech took big hits over the past month or two, so it does make sense that this is going to have a little bit more time to rebound. But guys, semies lead the way and we're going to get into that chart next here on the spiders next resistance with this march up clearing this declining trend line with ease. Look at that gap. Didn't even come down and touch this resistance trend line, nor did it touch this horizontal resistance trend line. Something that price has been interacting with for the past several months here on the chart. So now we're pushing up into another resistance level based on this declining trend line. Now I didn't take it from pivot to pivot high. I cut through a little bit of this pivot that occurred here mainly to kind of take an average in from this collective high pivot zone. So that resistance level tomorrow will be at 731 and.77. We get above that and also push above the next day guys look that would be all-time high territory and that would flip this declining trend line into support. Something that would be very very big for a breakout retrace bounce play on the chart. something we cover in here on a weekly basis. So, I'm going to be keeping my eyes closely peeled to that. Now, to the upside on the QQQ, you can see this is a different much higher inclined parallel channel. So, it's a much sharper angle that we've got going on here on the weekly. Somewhat bullish consolidation here, too. So, it kind it can make sense for us to continue moving up higher. But again, we've got the war going on in the Middle East that apparently is tapering down. by guys just this last week we were threatening to uh escalate. So here we enter into this week and man whipsaw action to say the least on all of these charts. Now if the cues continue marching up I mean to reach this parallel will be one mighty feat. One that we would have to get start accelerating in not only an angle like this but more like this what we experienced here in March of this year straight up on the charts. That's likely what's going to need to happen for us to come in in contact with that parallel $83 on the QQQ and that will be by September 8th. Next up, the SMH guys. SMH, as I've said, the Sims lead the way. We are not anywhere near the all-time highs on the semis. Matter of fact, here still we're having to navigate this head and shoulders pattern that was negated right here, but I left the neckline on as that generally does still leave uh resistance in the future. So that level tomorrow to monitor 58220 and then this would be a major major breakout on this declining trend line if we were able to get price above that. That trend line value is just under $600 on the chart. But let me remind you of something guys. This is something I was highlighting today in the live day trading room with our members. I'm going back through historical breakdowns and surges on the SMH. This is something I've brought up in this show several times too. And I do this because I love cyclical work. oftent times the markets are going to do what they just did. And so if you look back on the charts, study it, you can start grasping what can happen on this sort of move. So what I'm talking about is here on the SMH. Now, the last couple times we made pushes of over 230%. We then met with about a 30 to 40% decline. Now, so far on this decline, we didn't get anywhere near that. We dropped down about 25% for this drop. But notice here on the most recent decline, I'll zoom in just a little bit. You can see here we had a decline from this pivot high all the way down to this pivot low about the same as what we just experienced. We just dropped 25%. This one dropped 28.93%. And when it bounced, you can see here it bounced back up about 25% but the breaks were all halted right here on this 50 daily moving average. We eventually sold off, chopped around, sold off some more before elevating up after the liberation day low. So, if that were to be the case and I zoom into current price action, notice where that 50 simple moving average on the daily time frame is $595.94. Notice if we continue moving up, we likely are going to have that level, that 50 moving average converge with that declining trend line. So, we should see some stout resistance here in the near future. If time if history repeats itself, we should be seeing selling pressure hit the markets once and if price hits that 50 simple moving average. Next up, 10-year yield. Guys, one of the reasons uh that the stocks were pushing up today, look at that nice decline pushing down to 4.611% getting away from this 4.687. If you're bull, you want to see price come down, hit this next level of support at 4.54%. uh the last few days of price action on the 10-year yield were not implying this reversal. We were actually consolidating in the upper range of this uh uh price action, putting in a bull flag near-term bull flags. I want to remind you guys too, there was only three days right here. I generally like to wait more than three days for a bull flag to mature and play out. Otherwise, we're vulnerable of moves much like this. Usually I like to wait about seven days of maturity before we can likely see a break to the upside with a bull flag here. Obviously not getting that case today. So be looking for um some more potential downward movement on the 10-year yield, which could elevate the price in gold, but it didn't really do that that much today. Now, we did push up half a percent, but I was anticipating with that big of a move down on 10-year yield, we would be pushing up more on gold. Main thing though, we put in two days back to back pushing up above this declining trend line. Now, what would have been better is had we gotten a close above the high from the candle that broke above the declining trend line. That value today, $4,83.14. We're not far away, guys. We got 31 minutes left in trading before this candle on the daily chart does close. So, we very well could accomplish that. Be watching that over the next 30 minutes. What that will do is flip this trend line from resistance into support at $4,00023. More or less secure the breakout for at least a near to mediumterm uh scenario. Next up, silver doing a little bit better, pushing up 2.23% today. More like what I would have anticipated the reaction in gold. Now, silver here, near-term potential breakout watch from this declining trend line from the pivot taken here on July 6. Watch to see if we follow that up tomorrow with another push higher. If so, next attack $6326. I do have to admit I did buy a little physical silver last night when seeing this bullish consolidation. It I was not loading the boat. Matter of fact, I bought some as a present and I bought some junk silver and then just a couple other ounces that were on sale. It wasn't anything like what I'm anticipating doing once we hit the 50, 35, and potentially even $30 price tag on silver. You want to say how can that happen? We'll look at this weekly time frame, guys. Go back out. Look at this parallel chart. You can see here this parallel mainly has contained price ever since back here in January of 2008. After we hit that top, we came right back down and hit the bottom. All right. So, if we pierce this top and we come down and hit the bottom, where is the bottom? Right around 35 bucks, guys. It all depends on when and how fast if price can get down to that level, but that's certainly on the chart. It's something I'm going to be paying attention to if and when price breaks the previous pivot high back here from April of 2011 at $4983. Next up into US oil. Another reason the markets were pushing higher today, guys, down 5.66% getting further away from this declining trend line which was resistance when we last hit it the uh the last couple weeks. So that tells me the next level of support down here at $72.70. Just beyond that we have a couple levels of support would likely would be difficult for oil to go through on the first hit. And the reason being and you can see that mainly from two trend lines. One from this pivot low from January 8th and this recent pivot low will likely help to hold price in this range of $70.30 should it keep plunging into that uh into that area of the chart. The other uh level of support is this declining trend line that has so far caught price. You can see how both of those trend lines almost acted kind of like a trampoline when price did extend through it and then the last little bit hit this trend line propelling price up on US oil. I anticipate at least some good support at both of these trend lines if price comes right back down to it. The lower value of the trend line is at $6847. Now NACS did a slip and slide today guys. Last three days were looking rosy for Nat Gas to get above $2.75 and maintain. This is just one day back down. But I warn you guys, the NAG gas chart is a widowmaker for a reason. This did put in bearish consolidation and was implying we're going to go down. So right now we are putting in more bearish consolidation. So we'll just see though. Mainly monitoring this $2.75 levels for near-term potential bullish upside or near-term potential downside. And we have one day closing underneath. We'll see if we put in two of those uh tomorrow on the chart. Next up, Bitcoin. Not too much new to report because mainly it's not back inside the parallel channel. Now, we do have an inverse head and shoulders. I highlighted this week that Bitcoin is trying to form. The right shoulder has not yet completed as it needs to get all the way up here to $66,785 before that right shoulder is completed and potentially triggered, which can take Bitcoin up into the low $70,000 range. But still guys, it is a uh bare flag on the weekly uh and it's consolidating all on a level of support. All of that implies we should eventually be coming down unless of course we have some near-term upside with that inverse head and shoulders. So that too is kind of in a 50/50 gray area at the moment. I'll be waiting for more downside so that we can potentially pick up some more Bitcoin. Now guys, into the story of the day. I can't stress to you how important this is. the the AI narrative over the last month or two has really been getting weakened as far as push back locally from communities for building out all these AI data centers concerned about their resources and concerned about the power consumption. Right? So there's a lot of people don't want their power bills going up. I don't either. And then there's equally been a high level of concern regarding these companies monetizing the AI. there's been an incredible amount of capex spend and then this week we are slowly starting to get the answers to that with Microsoft pushing up very nicely and now Palunteer pushing up nicely both back on successful AI monetization. So we're checking off one of the concerns for these AI uh companies and buildouts. The AI companies that have been under pressure have all started seeing big surges with these reports. And if this reports continue, I anticipate us to continue moving up higher because again those major major concern about capex spending. It's so large. It has never been this big in the history of the world. And that's not a you know saying from our our US president. That's the truth guys. It's never been this big. It's an incredible buildout. So into the chart of Palunteer. Palunteers you see here back from November of 2025 has cleanly been trading in a declining parallel channel. Notice the move that occurred today. I even have this trend line still on the chart. This is a measured move from this bull flag pattern. We accelerated through that today. This measured move put price at $15062. A place that also converged with the top of this parallel channel. Unbelievable that price didn't stop here, maybe even closed slightly above it, but it accelerated at one point more than 30% up on the day. Now, we didn't close above this high pivot, so that's going to be the next stop for it. But on a move this big, guys, you're likely going to catch a lot of shorting positions offguard. And so, over the next three to five days, I in I intend to see Palanteer remain up in this range. Now, one thing, if you're a bull and you've missed this move and you want to jump on, see the price in the next several days to close above today's candle. If it does so, any pullbacks down here to the top of this parallel just shy of $150 will be a buying opportunity for momentum to continue pushing up on the chart. Next key resistance all the way up here near the $200 level on the chart of Palunteer. What other stocks can you get into that are like Palunteer? Well, you can look at stocks like Snow and or AI. The problem with Snow, look at its recent push pushing and breaking through this inclining trend line from a pivot from February of 2024 and a pivot here on November of 2025. We had a foreshadowing of this breakout occur. You can see when we first ran up to this declining trend line, got rejected, broke out, retraced, and that's your typical breakout retrace bounce play that you get here in trading the close. Now, very nice push today that bulls want to see this trend line be maintained and closed above. Ideally, you want to see another push higher tomorrow and then have price pull right back down. As long as consolidation occurs above that trend line, notice how clean that bull flag pattern would be. Uh, gaining momentum for another push higher to 341 and then eventually the all-time highs up here just over $400. If you want to get into another company that's not already run like this that has a similar type of structure as Palunteer, this is a much smaller company, but this is C3 AI. Look at how far down we are on this chart. If I go back on the monthly, look at this. We're basically at the bottom of the barrel. Now, keep in mind, too, this is a small cap stock, so their debt levels are a little bit different than the bigger players. The market cap's only 1.53%. So higher risk is assumed with these low caps because they do run offerings from time to time to raise revenue. But near-term this stock is acting like Palunteer and Snow. It's behaving in the same fashion in that it is looking to break out. So we are on breakout watch with this declining trend line. Closed above it today. see if we close above the high tomorrow and then that that makes this trend line a support level at $9.92 for a potential move all the way up to this declining trend line. Notice we did dance around that decline declining trend line back here in August of 2025, September of 2025 as well as November of 25. But this is a key defining trend line illustrating support levels when price comes from above and resistance when price is coming from below. So, I anticipate that to be the next major hurdle to cross at $1242. Next up, AMD reported earnings after the bell. Guys, look at this slip and slide action. Now, if you look back on the previous earnings, this is where we reported earnings last on May 5th of 2026. From that point to the high, we went up about 65%. Right into the close though, we were up about 46% from the last earnings report. completely different than a chart like BE which was down here uh away from its earnings that it reported as well as on the bottom of a parallel. This angled for more of a pop going into earnings compared to AMD. We were already up so much it better be a perfect beat in that apparently as of right now is not. So if we continue selling into tomorrow, this inclining trend line will be the first destination for a potential bounce and a decent one right around $440 now. Yes, right around the open 461 to psychological 450, but this should be a solid level if we see selling down all the way to that trend line tomorrow. Likely going to happen in a couple days if the selling persists. Uh next up, guys, SpaceX also reporting earnings after the bell. This too coming down after hours. Closed at $125.33. Let's flip over to the 10-minute time frame. We did actually have a little surge up to $131, but then immediately came right back down. So, not too much data on this chart to really give you other levels except for a psychological level of 100. And for whatever reason, I anticipate a move down to $75, taking this value, the $150 range, cutting it in half, getting people um disillusioned with this stock, which could be an awesome time to buy it if and when price can drop that low. But until then, $100 should be the next support level if price does sell off into tomorrow. Uh lastly guys, AET. Look at this. AET pushing up nicely uh after earnings closing at $192. First off, let me show you this inclining parallel channel that has contained price since the liberation day lows. Hit the top a few different times implying that this next hit could be a 50/50 shot of breaking through. a near-term. We did get a little bit of a heads up today that price likely could go higher off of earnings with price closing above a key inclining trend line that had held price back in July as well as in April of this year. So price went up is now at 20292. But guys, that's not the only story. Look what happened after hours. This stock was up at $225, guys. This selloff after hours is actually not that good. You want to see earnings if they're that good to push you up to 225. You want to see price at least hang out up here. Maybe even the 215 to 225 because that's a big pop. But guys, we're selling back down getting into the top end of this parallel channel. That's not the best. It's still good. It's still positive. But if I was an investor and I was really eager about this stock with that beat and I bought up at 225, I wouldn't be feeling too good right now with price coming straight back down. What's going to be the next catalyst to push it up there? What is it going to be? Another three months and waiting for earnings? Maybe. We'll see. But guys, incredible price action and moving today on the stocks. We got lots more earnings to cover this week. Um, hard to believe it's only been two days and man, what a wild week. Spiders, brand new all-time highs. We'll see how that changes tomorrow if we've got AET coming in, maybe even flat at the open, but interesting price action after hours to say the least.
