+1.87%vs SPY -0.67%

Our IWM prediction was spot-on perfect as it hit our $270 to $271 target. This more than offset significant losses in TE which we sold in the morning after a short report came out. Results include an unrealized loss in KEYS which dropped after our after-hours entry post-ER. We are holding that name for a better exit this morning.

YTD: +110.49% vs SPY +7.89%

After three days at yellow-alert and IWM hitting our $270 target, things are playing out as we predicted on Monday morning.

The semiconductor index, SOX, bounced off 20 DMA support yesterday ahead of NVDA earnings tonight setting up the AI infrastructure sector for an easy run should NVDA guidance beat estimates, which it usually does. This is our base case.

Names like AAOI LITE COHR AEHR SIVEF MU DRAM et al are set for continuation today ahead of NVDA earnings. However, should NVDA not beat, look out below.

We are upgrading to a green signal today, however, one may not want to take too much risk into after-hours.
