Amazon (AMZN) 🇺🇸
Micron (MU) 🇺🇸

Our position in AMZN is overall well in profit (if you made a small re-entry in the 218.50 - 219.50 range / or any re-entry at all). I bought a small position in MU below $85.00, near the low after Micron's crash the previous week. Micron may be one of the best-performing stocks in 2025, and AI will continue to be the number one growth engine in the coming year.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 💰
TP triggered ✅ @: 95248.70

Our timing / profits with Bitcoin are out of this world. We also closed today's Bitcoin trade extremely well (very good TP) after almost perfectly buying the strong Bitcoin dip of today.

This was our third Bitcoin trade since Friday that we closed with a move of more than 2.2%.

Otherwise, there is not much that has been updated here. Well Fargo turned back into the green after initial losses and is now rising further in after-hours trading. Amazon ended the day flat with some profit-taking before the close.

⚡️ RAPID UPDATE 🕯
AUD/USD
TP ✅ @: 0.62598
SL 🔑 @: 0.62407

We are locking in profits with our very well-timed AUD/USD (against the market) and are working with a tight SL, as we are seeing only limited movements here with reduced trading activity. If AUD/USD can break 0.62500 in the short term, we could see another 10-15 pips of gains. The pair is overall (still) oversold.

We have done incredibly well in forex trading in recent weeks, benefiting in particular from the stronger USD and, more recently, from USD overselling.


———

With our FX trades in recent weeks alone, many of you have earned several months' salary. Our performance in forex trading (success rate / average number of pips in profit per trade) in short-term trading is very likely unmatched, even though we don't specialize in forex trading – congratulations!

Broadcom (AVGO)
TP triggered ✅ @: 231.63 | or closed 231.40 - 232.00+

Congratulations – Broadcom has risen by almost 3% since our entry price (depending on where you entered and exited - now even more). We also saw the slight profit taking after Broadcom's very good opening that we expected. Broadcom broke through the $230 / Friday's high with “ease”.

If you are still LONG, it's best to close soon / now (range 232.20 - 232.70). We can find a better re-entry point.

Amazon has also gained significantly - currently at +0.8%


--

What an incredible pre-Christmas NYSE opening trade. Many of us have probably made a profit from this trade alone – the one that “pays” for Christmas presents entirely or at least to a large extent. Let us not forget the privileged position we are in and think of those who could use a helping hand. Thank you very much 🎄

⚡️ LIGHTNING-RAPID UPDATE 🕯
Broadcom (AVGO)
TP ✅ @: 232.19

Amazon (AMZN) 🇺🇸
TP ✅ @: 229.89
SL 🔑 @: 221.19

No other stock gained more in market capitalization today after the opening (first 15 minutes) of the NYSE (despite initial slight profit-taking) than Broadcom. The chip giant easily broke through the $230.00 mark (Friday's high). We are currently seeing typical profit-taking after strong price gains, but expect AVGO to rise above $230.00 again soon. We are not working with a TP that is too far away, as we expect $230.00 to be a key mark today.

We are also widening the SL for our Amazon position, as we generally want to stay LONG, but could see slight profit taking today.

Congratulations - what an outstanding NYSE opening trade.

Recommended Entry Range ✅(VIP ONLY)

► The USD is trading close to its multi-year highs again at the beginning of a holiday-shortened trading week after President Joe Biden signed a government funding bill on Saturday that averts a government shutdown. The bill provides for three months of funding at the current level, with additional disaster relief and agricultural aid. The (provisional) funding bill improves near-term risk sentiment – rather USD headwinds.

► Friday's cooler-than-expected/dovish PCE data helped stocks end a negative week on a positive note for global equities. Global stock markets started the week cautiously positive.

► Asian markets were mostly higher, with China posting a mixed performance due to concerns that trade relations could worsen under Trump. US President-elect Donald Trump also added the 27 countries that make up the European Union to the list of trading partners he is threatening with tariffs on social media. "I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas (..) otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!”.

► The prospect of higher US oil (and gas) production and exports, as well as tariffs, have supported the USD today in thin trading.

We closed all (!) of our 8 (+1 optional trade) trades from yesterday in profit - wow 🏆

Today's remarkable profits are mainly due to our very strong trades and/or positioning & good position management from yesterday 👍

This has been a really weird week – for me personally, the profits were somewhat eroded by the heavy losses with Micron (and the late Dow Jones closing), but the decisions we made and the way we traded this very chaotic and heavily falling market were exceptional and ultimately highly profitable in the end - a great week.

Our success rate and asset selection (especially stock picking) were remarkable.

We were hit by the hawkish Fed dot plot and the markets' overreaction – but after that we navigated the market, sentiment, mispricing, underlying fundamentals, etc. extremely well.

We can be very proud (but of course remain humble!) of how we maneuvered our way through this week. It also shows us once again that you should ALWAYS stay calm no matter what happens and not be influenced by panic, big swings and possibly bad decisions.

Again, I am very proud of all of US - we did this together. A wonderful end to an extremely chaotic week! 💫

Your Robert

PS: Wells Fargo also closed very well today (+2.2%) - we remain LONG in BTC and want to close the position deep in profit over the weekend - I'll keep you posted.

Recommended Entry Range ✅96400 - 96800

► We made a huge Bitcoin trade today 📸 (almost 3% movement) - but Bitcoin recovered even further and has still plenty of near-term upside potential after three days of sharp declines - Bitcoin is still more than 10% below highs reached on Tuesday.

►We get back (still a bit above our triggered TP) but below 97000 with plenty of gains to make with Bitcoin likely continue to find buyers below key-level 100K.

► Bitcoin is still sharply lower over the past 24h (down 2.5% at ~96700) with investors storming back into equities following the PCE friendly data (which we expected). Although also Bitcoin made a v-shaped recovery - but is still far away from levels in previous sessions.

► We see the rally in stocks for today (from here) limited. Bitcoin may benefit from stocks hitting a ceiling with investors also being a bit concerned about increased volatility ahead of the Triple Witching.

🗣️ Tip: You can multiply your trade size by ~ 0.3 - 0.5 (30% - 50%) trading Bitcoin (BTC/USD).

We can slightly widen the TP for our Amazon position.

We now see Wall Street deep green - with the Nasdaq up more than 1.1% - very impressive rally on the Fed friendly PCE-data. Broadcom broke the 226 and moves towards 229 rising more than 4.5% - however, we are happy with our closing price and don't want to overtrade this nervous market here even if it looks very tempting.

PS: Sorry for the slight delay here - the surge has now been extremely impressive and very fast. Congratulations!

🔰 NYSE OPENING UPDATE 🕯


🔹 The Nasdaq (-0.6%) saw significant overnight losses with investors remaining nervous. The losses were an extension of profit taking that pushed the Nasdaq again into a negative closing yesterday. We now see a sharp rebound following cooler-than-expected US PCE data. The Nasdaq is trading at key-level 21000 - we expect a recovery before risk-off mood fully returns ahead of today's triple witching event.


🔹 Amazon (-1.4%) opens lower - with big tech underperforming the broader market. We expect some dip buying. TP ✅ 223.97 (off-profit)

🔹 Broadcom (+ 1.3%) is a strong outperformer benefiting from investors buying the recent dip and expecting a very strong performance of Broadcom in the upcoming year. We tighten our TP ✅ 225.23 - ⚠️ already in TP

🔹 PayPal (- 1.7%) lost yesterday's rebound gains. PayPal was one of the top-performers yesterday. PayPal may see near-term a bit more selling but will find buyers near/below $85.00 - we tighten our TP ✅ 87.33

🔹 Wells Fargo (- 0.2%) opens near flat. In case you hold a position - we expect financials to outperform other sector in the upcoming sessions.


► We don't want to jump into the purely sentiment driven NYSE opening today and will see for early movements. We expect markets to rebound strongly - actually it's a bit surprising that we don't see more dip buying given the Fed friendly PCE data.

TP ✅ @: 225.27
SL 🔑 @: 230.33

Micron (MU) 🇺🇸
TP ✅ @: 89.92
SL 🔑 @: 87.78

The markets have also moved very much in our favor today. Our Dow Jones position hit the TP - if you are still in it - you can also close it significantly better (near 43300). We are now seeing the delayed Santa rally, as we expected, which came delayed after the market overreacted to the Fed's more hawkish positioning - which is not only absolutely logical (for the Fed to do) but in reality means that the US economy is expected to continue to perform robustly in 2025.

Dow Jones (US30) 🇺🇸
TP triggered ✅ @: 43066.90 | or higher

We can extend the TP for our Amazon position a bit, tighten the SL. Our re-entry position is deep in the money (if set). Micron sees some resistance at $90.00 - we set our TP there and expect to close on Friday (in the money).

WFC also performed very well and rose further today (currently up 1.1%). You can of course stay long here - unlike many investors, we expect another good year ahead.

Congratulations - we have made very good profits in the last few days with good decisions. We now see a market that is less sentiment-driven again (with very little activity today, of course).

Our second (successful) Bitcoin trade from Friday (actually closed over the weekend as planned) and a massive Broadcom trade today - one of the best trades we could have possibly made.

We can easily update our AUD/USD position - locking in higher profits and moving our TP up.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 💰
TP ✅ @: 95248.70

Dow Jones (US30)  🇺🇸
TP ✅ @: 43066.90

CLOSE NOW ✅ @: 43025 - 43090


I actually prefer to close our Dow Jones here soon (or even now).

We have again identified the almost perfect reversal range for Bitcoin - our position is well in profit. You can optionally work with an in-profit SL here (BTC).

Our timing remains remarkable. In just a few trades in the previous session(s), we made huge profits.

Congratulations! Trading and timing at the highest level (even against the market) 👏

Our profits from Friday/today will probably pay for Christmas presents for several years (for most of you). It would be nice to give some of the winnings to people who have little or nothing for Christmas this year ❤️

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 💰
⚠️ HIGH volatility; Increased risk / do not trade large
TP ✅ @: (VIP ONLY)

⏱️ Signal is DELAYED ⚠️ by: 1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣+ minutes! ⚠️

Recommended Entry Range ✅92500 - 93000

► We made two very good Bitcoin trades on Friday, including a very good over-the-weekend Bitcoin trade (closed in the Saturday rally).

► We can now get back into Bitcoin almost $6000/BTC below our triggered TP ✅ 98777.30 📸 (or about 6.5% below Saturday's highs (~$99.5K)

► A stronger USD and higher yields have led to some risk-off trading, but we are seeing sentiment stabilize. Yields are also stabilizing, but remain well above 4.5% (currently 4.56% for the US-10-Y).

► Bitcoin remains very volatile and we are buying the strong profit-taking here, which is generally difficult to time, which is why we are trading a little smaller. We are now finding an entry at / slightly below 93K. Bitcoin has seen solid support in the 91K - 93K range over the last 30 days. From the current level around 93K, it could go down a bit further, but Bitcoin has plenty of recovery potential.

► Analysts see Bitcoin reaching significantly higher ATHs in 2025. Bitcoin reached its ATH last week (Tuesday) at around $108,300 (which is aobut 17% above the current price = 14.5% decline).

🗣️ Tip: You can multiply your trade size by ~ 0.2 - 0.35 (20% - 35%) trading Bitcoin (BTC/USD) - 2/3 trade size

We close our Broadcom position above $231.50 for a mega profit. While Broadcom has short-term more upside potential we expect $230.00 to remain a key-level for today.

🔰 NYSE OPENING UPDATE 🕯

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY AFTER NYSE OPENED 🔼 Broadcom (AVGO)
⚠️ volatile; strong opening, first slight PT; 2/3 trade size

Recommended Entry ✅near 225.50

⏱️ Signal is DELAYED ⚠️ by: 3️⃣0️⃣+ minutes! ⚠️

🔹 The Dow Jones (-0.3%) fell slightly in early pre-market trading, losing earlier gains (during early Asian trading), due to higher yields and a very strong USD again at multi-year highs. We set a not-too-wide TP ✅ 43088.90 🔄


🔹 Amazon (0.2%) opens slightly higher, continuing Friday's recovery.

🔹 Micron (0.0%) opens almost unchanged after a turbulent week. We saw a strong recovery at Micron on Friday, which recovered by 3.5%, and found a good entry before Micron rose further at the NYSE close. We remain LONG. Micron has plenty of room to rise further. We set a not-too-tight TP ✅ 91.89.

🔹 Wells Fargo (0.0%) opens little changed (above the key 70.00 mark) after strong (+2.2%) Friday gains. We remain LONG and maintain our TP: ✅ @: 73.63.


► We see reduced trading activity and don't want to be positioned deeper in the market at the end of today's last full session (before Christmas).

► Broadcom remains attractive - especially after the rally on Friday met with strong profit-taking before the market closed. Broadcom is likely to be one of the hottest stocks in 2025 - and I expect even more analysts/investment banks to see a massive additional rally for Broadcom (including PT increases) after the chip giant's mega profit announcements and an even more optimistic revenue forecast. It is very likely that Broadcom will also benefit from Nvidia's rather mixed Q4 performance, as more investors see greater upside potential in Broadcom for 2025 than in Nvidia.

► We expect slight profit taking after NYSE opening and want to find an entry at or slightly below 225.00. We expect Broadcom to test or break through $230.00 again in the near future (possibly today). Broadcom opens at $226.50.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 200 - 220 (20.000% - 22.000%) when trading Broadcom (AVGO) - 2/3 trade size

📊 SmartTrader Insights: Monday Markets Wrap 🗒

📆 Monday, December 23

❗️ Global markets cautiously rise after Friday's modest CPI data & last-minute funding bill to avert US government shutdown

► European markets opened cautiously higher on Monday as investors weighed mixed signals from global economic and political developments. Stoxx 600 futures are trading 0.35% higher, reflecting a wait-and-see attitude ahead of the holiday-shortened trading week. UK Q3 GDP remained flat quarter-on-quarter, signaling stagnation in the British economy, though annual growth stood at 0.9%, highlighting a slow but ongoing recovery. Investor sentiment was dampened by concerns over the potential for global tariffs under President-elect Trump’s administration, which could strain EU-U.S. trade relations and put additional pressure on European exporters.

► US equity futures posted modest gains, with the S&P 50 up around 0.3% (Dow Jones +0.2%). This follows Friday’s rally, where the S&P 500 rose 1.1% after the core PCE inflation data came in weaker than expected, rekindling hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025. Congress avoided a government shutdown by signing a temporary funding bill, which greatly relieved the markets and focused attention on the economic policy of the new Trump administration. SmartTrader chief analyst Robert Lindner believes that concerns about inflation and a more hawkish Fed stance are greatly exaggerated, as they would imply that the US economy would have to remain very strong in 2025. US Treasury yields were steady after a sharp rise last week, as investors continued to digest the implications of slower inflation and robust economic output. Sentiment remains cautious as markets await Donald Trump's inauguration and possible global tariffs.

► Asian stocks snapped a six-day losing streak, bolstered by Friday’s U.S. market gains and muted inflation data. Japan’s Nikkei climbed 1.16%, supported by strong performance in auto stocks, with Honda gaining 2.1% on merger discussions with Nissan (+1.6%). South Korea’s KOSPI and Taiwan’s TAIEX rose over 1%, reflecting optimism around easing inflationary pressures in the U.S. and hopes for continued semiconductor growth in Asia. Chinese markets were mixed, with the Shanghai Composite down 0.5%, despite Premier Li Qiang’s call for innovation in semiconductor and infrastructure sectors. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rebounded by 0.82%, buoyed by financial and property sectors, while mainland investors increased exposure to Hong Kong equities amid CNY weakness.

► Oil prices steadied after last week's decline, with traders closely monitoring geopolitical risks and the potential impact of Trump’s foreign policy, including threats to reassert U.S. control over the Panama Canal. WTI crude oil traded flat at around $69.5/barrel (-0.1%), as markets balanced geopolitical risks with concerns over global demand. Gold prices rebounded slightly, as the U.S. dollar stabilized and PCE inflation data reduced recent strong USD buying. Gold prices are trading at around $2,625/oz. Silver is up 0.7% trading at $29.70/oz. Bitcoin is trading near Friday's level after hitting a high of $99.5K on Saturday (which also triggered the TP of our second Bitcoin position and earned the community another nice profit with Bitcoin).

6/6 = 100% 🏆 Success Rate


A difficult & chaotic week with a very positive end (for us) - but it needed economic data (PCE) showing that the inflation problem is not as big as investors expect and economists model.

Furthermore, the market still has not understood that the slower rate cuts are primarily the result of a strong US economy and continued robust economic and labor market data. The prospect of slower interest rate cuts is therefore better (!) than a market that urgently needs interest rate cuts (such as China, for example, but also where we see significant weakness in the economy (+ outlook) and in business and consumer activity and sentiment).

Our success rate over the five-week period has increased significantly and is now (again) an outstanding 86.5% - with an average (!) positive movement of over 0.6% (asset value move), which is well above the average for short-term traders, who tend to trade asset movements in the range of 0.1 - 0.4%.

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Dow Jones (US30)  🇺🇸

Recommended Entry Range ✅42980 - 43050

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Micron (MU) 🇺🇸
⚠️ Increased Volatility; 2/3 Trade Size

Recommended Entry Range ✅88.85 - 89.25

► We saw exactly the markets that we expected - with the rebound post US PCE data following Fed friendly inflation data - and some profit taking ahead of the Triple Witching hour which saw the Nasdaq lose about 0.5%-points from it's highs. The Dow Jones dipped about 400 points from session highs back to below key-level 43000 (currently at 43050).

We buy this mini-dip here and expect that market can further recover in the days ahead even with limited liquidity. We have seen very high volatility over the past days which will strongly fall in the upcoming sessions.

We also buy Micron - which is trading currently 2.5% near 89.00 after very sharp losses this week following a rather disappointing earnings report. We trade Micron again smaller than usual as we may continue see 2-3% percentage swings. However, despite a rather disappointing outlook, Micron has plenty of revenue growth ahead while being very attractively valued despite a lower than expected revenue forecast. Micron remains an excellent medium/-long-term investment after the sharp decline over the past two sessions.

We stay LONG in Amazon, which rose well above our initial TP and is now at around +0.5% but with plenty of further upside potential after today's underperformance (in comparison to the broader market / Nasdaq 100).

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~1.5 - 2.5 (150%-250%) when trading the Dow Jones (US30).

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~360 - 400 (36,000% - 40,000%) when trading Micron (MU) - 2/3 trade size

Nasdaq (US100) 🇺🇸
TP triggered ✅ @: 21283.40 (for me) | 21244.30, 21178.90 or 21300+

What a rollercoaster ride.

If you are still LONG in the Nasdaq 100, you can still close above ✅ 21315 - but it's best to get out here (or soon 21310 - 21350) because profit taking will probably start soon.

Congratulations – it didn't look good in pre-market trading and now we've made huge profits (including with gold and bitcoin). We continue to see how nervous and sentiment-driven the market currently is and therefore remain cautious ourselves.

Broadcom (AVGO) 🇺🇸

CLOSE ✅ @: 225+

Nasdaq (US100) 🇺🇸

WTI (USOIL) 🛢 (spot)
CLOSE NOW ✅ @: 68.37 - 68.50 🔄
OR
TP ✅ @: 68.47

Broadcom is the big outperformer among Big-Tech today, up more than 3%. Our position is now break-even / in profit. We can slightly raise our TP, but expect resistance in the 225 - 226 range for now. If your Broadcom position has not yet triggered a TP, you can slightly widen the TP or close it soon (above 225.00 / in-profit).

Gold is now back in the 2617 - 2620 range - we are holding our TP near 2620.

Bitcoin has reached our very well-placed TP at 96002.30.

We see that Wall Street is trying to recover. The most risk-sensitive stocks (small caps) are already trading positively. We are tightening the SL on our Nasdaq 100 position.

We are also setting a firmer TP for our WTI position or better close out now with a profit, as we can find a better re-entry point.
