Summer breadth remains split between AI-led equities and a crypto tape still missing a real catalyst. VIX has reset from ~20.66 to 14, QQQ has already confirmed a buy after a June double-top washout, and NVDA, MU, MRVL, AVGO, ARM, and PLTR are presented as the clearest AI/semis winners, while BTC, ETH, SOL, and the crypto market cap are still chopping. TSLA is framed as the main laggard versus SPX and space-linked attention flow, even as SpaceX is treated as the hotter near-term story on unlock-resistant FOMO. The late-video setup is a rotation question: whether September weakness, unlocks, and overextended AI names create another shakeout, or whether the current leaders keep grinding higher.
VIX topped around 20.66 the prior week and has fallen to 14, treated as very close to a floor.
QQQ formed a double top in early May/June and another around June 18, then tanked into a very clear buy signal; it never got near the 200-day moving average and has since gone up only.
SPX is still making all-time highs, with the 20x average P/E called cheap because AI is changing things.
BTC has been stuck in a range with no big catalyst; ETFs took nearly $1B last week, but another $1B is said to be needed just to lift price 3%.
Onchain data for BTC is described as red, and that is framed as a leading indicator for price.
Gold is said to be outperforming BTC in the pair trade because gold is above $4,500 while BTC has gone nowhere.
SOL is about 8% below its 200-day near $82 and is just under $76; ETH is also about 8% below its 200-day around $2,800–$2,850.
Crypto market cap is back near 2024 levels and far below 2021 despite more tokens now than then.
MSTR is described as ATMing to death, issuing shares to raise cash and use it to buy STRC and support confidence in STRC.
STRC fell as low as $73 and has since recovered to nearly $94–$96; the chart’s repeated green buying is interpreted as persistent Sailor buying.
TSLA is called a disappointment: up 850% from $17 six years ago, but only 43% over the last five years; retail ownership is said to have fallen from 44% to 22%.
SpaceX is the hotter attention trade: it was at $103 a few days ago, then surged 45% in about five trading days, with forced short covering and no post-unlock dump.
The Tesla/SpaceX pair ratio has shifted from 1.8 shares of SpaceX to Tesla, to 3.2, to 2.24, implying changing relative value.
NVDA has a beautiful triple bottom at 190, no sell signals, and is still near an all-time low P/E of 20; the chart target is 236, about $10 above the current level.
MU bounced cleanly off 739, is now 'up only,' and is expected to first reach 960, then break 1,000 and head back to all-time highs; it is framed as a $1,600 stock in the making.
MRVL ran from 64 to 328 before a sell signal; a dip to around 163 was treated as a buyable AI-trade entry and the stock remains strong.
GOOGL was expected to sell off but instead bounced; the tape was rattled by rumors that Demis Hassabis and other AI people were leaving, but he reportedly did not depart and moved into a different role.
The view on GOOGL stays constructive at a $400 target, with 342 cited as a buy price even though the trend is still down.
AMD bounced off level five but flashed a sell signal, leaving mixed, choppy signals; 580 is still the expected return area and the low 400s are described as the worth-it zone.
AVGO ran from 369 to 416 and then lost steam; 500 is still the target, but September is flagged as a possible delay point and as a month that can be very ugly.
PLTR broke out above a prior top area around 167 on a short squeeze tied to Michael Burry’s short, with 66% of his account said to be short PLTR; the earnings date was August 3 and the mean-reversion spike came August 4.
Copper is expected to keep rising for two to three years, with a new all-time high already made before the last five-day selloff, and a $10 copper price is still the long-run call.
ARM is still a beast in the IA13 basket but is considered too pricey at 274 given slowing revenue and earnings; earlier limit orders around 103 or 93 were the preferred entry.
LRCX has buy levels at 178, 172, and 185, no sell signal yet, and earnings were 8% better with revenue in line; another all-time high is not expected without a September black- or gray-swan catalyst.
