Afternoon Trading Session and Market Overview

The session begins with a discussion of an MSTR trade and the anticipation of the "rundown" segment. The market is noted to be in a holiday-shortened week leading up to American Thanksgiving.

Market Movers and Key Stock Performances

Rivian (RIVN): Initially up 1.8%, but a jinx is feared to cause a trend break.
Alphabet (GOOGL): Experienced a "power run" but gave up gains, with Nvidia making a recovery. Google later tanked significantly, with one trader noting a $2 move and another a $3 move to the downside, targeting the 200-period moving average.
Nvidia (NVDA): Recovered from an earlier decline, with a focus on its role in the AI chip market. Later in the session, Nvidia showed a strong upward move, with a long position taken at 176.50 and targets around 177, 180s, and even 177.56.
Bitcoin (BTC): Rallied to 88,000 earlier but pulled back to VWAP. A bearish sentiment persisted as it failed to hold 88,000 and press towards 90,000.
Mara (MARA) & BMR (likely BMRN or similar): Shorted against Bitcoin's weakness. BMR showed accelerated flushing, moving 2.5% for every 1% move in IBIT. A short on BMR was initiated at 368 into VWAP and added to on the break. BMR was later exited at the low of the day, with a potential re-engagement considered if the uptrend abated. MARA was held as a backup.
Kohl's (KSS): Shares traded higher after beating Q3 earnings estimates and raising full-year guidance. A significant factor was its high short float (37%), making it "Squeeze Central." The stock moved from $6 to $21, breaking a major level at $18. The retail sector in general was performing well, with Home Depot, TJX, Lowe's, Costco, Walmart, and Amazon all showing gains.
AMD: Experienced a significant downside move due to news of Meta and Google partnering to compete with Nvidia in the AI chip market. AMD was seen as being in more trouble than Nvidia in this scenario, with a target of $180. A successful short trade on AMD was highlighted, catching the drift down from VWAP.
IBIT: A short trade on IBIT was highlighted as a "big banger of the day," going "Sniper City" to the downside. It was nearly a dollar in the money.
Tesla (TSLA): Mentioned as a potential dip buy opportunity at the 200-period moving average. A short trade was covered, and later a long position was taken, with exits at 420 and 418.50, and a final out at $419.50 for a $14 gain.
CETI (Clean Energy Technologies): Announced a $10 million battery energy storage system (BESS) project in New York, its largest to date, which justified a 174% intraday surge. However, it lost 10% and broke a trend line at $2.50, rolling over towards VWAP. It was also noted as a reverse split dumper, with a critical close level at $2.25.
Amazon (AMZN): Discussion around its potential in robotics and its role in making people less lonely, drawing parallels to the movie "Her." The stock bounced off earnings levels and the 200-period moving average, showing a rounded bottom setup. A short was considered if it failed to hold the 50-period moving average.
Meta (META): Shares bounced significantly (around 9%) off lows after news of Google negotiating to supply TPUs to challenge Nvidia. This was seen as a technical relief rally, with resistance expected at the 200-period moving average around $670.
Snapchat (SNAP): Mentioned as a potential trade, with a target of $7.15-$7.20 for a scalp trade back to the 200-period moving average for a potential 20% gain.
Dell (DELL) & Green Spark (GSPK): Scheduled to report earnings tonight.
Palantir (PLTR): Showed a strong intraday move, but a trend line break was noted as not behaving as expected. A short was considered if it broke below the 50-period moving average, but a long was also considered against 162.70.
Apple (AAPL): Showed weakness, breaking down while the market and chips went up. A short was considered on pops back into the trend line, with support at 277.50. It later bounced off 277.50 and headed back into the trend line for a potential fade.
Broadcom (AVGO): Described as a "beast," making new highs.
UiPath (PATH): Earnings next week, with speculation about Cathie Wood's potential buying.
Strive (ASST): Mentioned as having a 10% owner in Vivek Ramaswami. It went public via a SPAC and then a reverse merger.
Robinhood (HOOD): Showed a potential decoupling from crypto, attempting to break yesterday's highs.
XOM: Showed a bid, but a previous discussion at $120 was noted.
Enbridge (ENB): A favored Canadian holding, seen as a pipeline play and a gas play, with potential for a pullback if capex spend decreases.
Tillray (TLRY): Attempting to break above $1, bouncing off the 200-period moving average. A potential scalp trade to 1.20-1.30 was discussed.
MSOS: Halts were discussed in relation to the Marijuana 123 Act of 2025.
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD): Seeking improved buyout bids by December 1st from potential buyers like Comcast, Netflix, and Paramount.
DraftKings (DKNG): Subject to Nevada gaming regulations.
Lululemon (LULU): Breaking out above $180, with a monthly chart showing a triple bottom at the 200-period moving average.
Alibaba (BABA): Down to $156, with a daily chart showing weakness and a potential bottom at $150 and the 200-period moving average around $135.
SMR: Continued to decline, down another 7%.
Urban Outfitters (URBN): Reported a 45% move after the bell.
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF): Showed a significant move (38%), with a short float of 21%.
Open Door (OPEN): Experienced a large buy imbalance that flipped to a sell imbalance, highlighting the danger of trading these.

Holiday Trading Adjustments: Acknowledging that holiday-shortened weeks often have lower volume, requiring strategy adjustments like being less aggressive or focusing on fewer high-conviction trades.

"Lesson of the Day": Emphasizing the importance of taking A+ setups, even if they contradict a prior bias, and the frustration of missing such opportunities.
