Executive Summary

The dominant theme across the Top 25 Tickers event was that many market leaders remain in established uptrends, but several have transitioned from aggressive accumulation opportunities into risk-management situations after reaching major technical objectives. Steve remained constructive on names such as NVDA, AMZN, ANET, LLY, GOOGL, CRDO, IJR, ETN, COST and APH, while maintaining a more cautious stance on PLTR, AVGO, XOM, CIEN and CRWD. Several names that have delivered exceptional gains are now entering consolidation or corrective phases where risk management becomes increasingly important. 


Top 5 Actionable Takeaways

1. Leadership remains intact, but momentum has narrowed.

NVIDIA, Alphabet, Arista Networks and several technology leaders remain in bullish trends, although some are no longer the momentum names they once were. 

2. Several former leaders have moved into risk-management mode.

Applied Materials and AMD have largely achieved their projected objectives. Steve's focus has shifted from buying to managing existing positions. 

3. Caution remains warranted in select technology names.

Palantir, Broadcom, CrowdStrike and Ciena all show technical deterioration or corrective characteristics that warrant a more defensive posture. 

4. Small caps and emerging markets remain important themes.

Steve continues to view both emerging markets and small caps positively and believes the longer-term breakout structures remain intact. 

5. Rotation opportunities continue to emerge.

Industrials, defense, healthcare and select commodity-related areas continue to offer opportunities despite the market's rotational nature. 


Detailed Ticker Reference


1. NVDA — NVIDIA

Technical Bias: Bullish, but no longer a momentum stock

  • 190–202 

  • Rising 13-, 26-, and 40-week moving averages 

Targets

  • 241 

  • 260 

  • 289 

Risk Management

  • Hold support in the 190s

Technical Bias: Bullish

Support

  • 247–227 

Targets

  • 260

Technical Bias: Bullish

Support

  • 153–141
