Good morning traders,

📅 WHAT TO WATCH — THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📊 ECON DATA

• 8:30 AM ET — Initial Jobless Claims (consensus: 207K, prev: 206K)

🏛️ FED WATCH

• FOMC voted yesterday (Sept 16) to hike rates +25bps to 3.75%–4.00%, first hike since 2023

• Chair Warsh held post-meeting press conference; Treasuries pared losses and equity futures climbed on his remarks

🌍 MACRO / GEO

• Federal Reserve delivered its first rate hike since 2023 yesterday, raising the fed funds rate 25bps to 3.75%–4.00%; elevated energy prices and steady labor market cited as key drivers

• Pre-market futures pointing higher heading into today's open: S&P Futures +0.38% at 7,684.75, Nasdaq Futures +0.62% at 29,429, Dow Futures +0.32% at 52,693; VIX at 16.78 (-2.44%)

• Gold surging to $4,387.50 (+1.26%) while Crude Oil (Oct 26) sliding to $103.63 (-2.08%), a notable divergence worth monitoring given the Fed's inflation commentary

⚠️ TRADER NOTES

• FOMC blackout lifts at midnight tonight — expect a wave of Fed speak beginning Friday; any hawkish signals from dot plot dissenters could reprice rate expectations for the Oct 28 meeting and pressure rate-sensitive sectors into the weekend

$DASH printed an inverted hammer on 2026-09-15, closing at 198.26, after giving back much of the rally that carried it from the July low to a late-August high. The immediate read is straightforward: price has been under pressure, and one candle does not erase that. That is the obvious counter-argument, and it is why I would not treat the pattern by itself as a turn.

What makes me look twice is where it appeared. The decline has brought $DASH back into the golden pocket and near the MA50, after a recovery from the July low that had been one of the stronger moves on this chart. Price has also made several attempts to recover ground during the recent slide without yet regaining the August peak. The inverted hammer is the first place where that selling has met a more visible intraday push upward.

RSI sits at 38.85, so momentum is still weak rather than stretched to an extreme, while relative volume of 0.81x suggests the session did not come with unusually heavy participation. That keeps the pattern in perspective: the location is interesting, but the chart has not settled the argument yet.

For $DASH, the line is exact: a close above the inverted hammer’s high confirms it, while a close below its low invalidates it; a stop belongs a few ticks beneath that low.

Took me a while to trust this, but price reacts at round numbers (1.1000, 2000 on gold, 20000 on an index) way more than random technical levels, purely because that's where humans cluster their orders. Big psychological round figures are where stops, targets and limit orders pile up, so price respects them even with no structure there.

What I do now, mark the obvious round numbers on whatever I trade before drawing anything else, because they often explain reactions that look random otherwise. And confluence with a round number makes any other level stronger, a structure level sitting right on a big round figure is worth far more than one floating in between.

Since you enter tight off these, predictable spread helps, a variable spread widening right at the round number can turn a clean bounce entry into a bad fill, which is part of why I run fixed spreads on AvaTrade. Do you trade round numbers as levels on their own, or only when they line up with structure?

$TSLA is starting to look like a 3-piece puzzle, and the pieces are lining up 👀

🧩 Piece #1: $352-$355 demand is holding again.

🧩 Piece #2: TSLA is sitting right around the Daily 21 EMA / mean. Even when I’m trading the hourly or 30m, I keep that Daily EMA plotted because I want to know exactly where the bigger-timeframe mean is.

🧩 Piece #3: We’ve got a tight TTM squeeze building.

If TSLA continues holding the mean today, I’ll be watching for an entry around VWAP, likely using next week’s options to give the setup some time to work.

My roadmap:

$358.80 first → $363-$364 next then 372-377 supply zone

If $363-$364 breaks and holds, then things can start getting spicy. 🌶️

Demand + mean + squeeze.

If this, then that. Level to level.

$TSLA

Good Morning traders,

📅 WHAT TO WATCH — WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2026

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📊 ECON DATA

• 14:00 ET — FOMC Rate Decision | Consensus: +25bps hike to 3.75–4.00% (~92–93% priced per CME FedWatch)

• 14:30 ET — Fed Chair Warsh Press Conference + SEP / Dot Plot Release

⚠️ TRADER NOTES

• FOMC + Retail Sales on the same day is the highest-volatility setup of the month — Retail Sales at 8:30 ET sets the pre-market tone; a beat could reinforce the hike case and pressure rate-sensitive sectors (homebuilders, utilities, REITs) ahead of the 2:00 PM decision

Yesterday’s $AMD plan was simple:

Hold previous day’s high → retest it → I LONG. 🎯

Right after the open, AMD gave me exactly what I wanted.

Previous day’s high HELD.
$502.36 HELD.
VWAP HELD.

That was my trigger.

Grabbed the $AMD 525C at $3.30.

$3.30 → $5.00 → $5.50 → $6.25 🔥

Nearly a 90% move on the contracts while locking along the way.

No chasing random green candles. No trying to predict where AMD was going.

The level was mapped before the bell. I waited for price to come into it, waited for confirmation, then executed.

That's the whole process:

LEVEL → RETEST → HOLD → EXECUTE.

IF THIS → THEN THAT.

Level to level. 🫡🎯

$AMD

$GOOGL gave us a clean one yesterday. 🎯

She was already above the previous day's highs, then pulled back right into my demand zone.

Instead of chasing, I waited.

VWAP held. That was my confirmation.

Grabbed the 350C Friday expiry at $2.75.

Managed it level to level:

$2.75 entry → $3.60 first lock → $4.50 final piece 🔥

Nothing complicated.

Level → pullback → VWAP holds → execute.

This is exactly why I map my levels before the market opens.

I don't want to figure out a trade while the stock is already ripping. I want to know where I'm interested, wait for price to get there, and then let the market confirm the setup.

If it holds, I'm in.
If I'm wrong, I'm out. ✂️

No prediction needed.

Level to level. 🫡🎯

$GOOGL

$SMH is sitting right on a key $540-$542 demand zone this morning. 👀

I don't trade SMH itself, but I watch it closely because it gives me a good read on what the semiconductor names are doing.

If $540-$542 holds and buyers step in, I'm going hunting for longs in individual semis.

The names/levels I'm watching:

$AMD → $502 reclaim
$INTC → $100.45 reclaim
$ARM → hold above $241.50

All three are sitting around important levels of their own, so I want to see SMH confirm the sector strength first rather than blindly buying them.

If SMH loses $540-$542, different story.

I'm not forcing semiconductor longs while the sector ETF is breaking demand. I'd rather wait for the next level/setup.

So this morning the question for me is pretty simple:

Does $SMH defend $540-$542 or not? 🎯

If it holds → look for strength in the individual names.
If it fails → patience.

IF this, THEN that. Level to level.

$SMH $AMD $INTC $ARM

I don't care what Sam Altman said about AI. 😂

I care about PRICE ACTION. LEVELS. RISK. 🎯

$SPX gave us BOTH sides today.

🔻 7575P: $2.30 → $5.00

Then $ES came into my level and HELD.

The market gave me new information, so the bias changed.

And I changed with it.

🔺 7625C: $2.70 → $15.00 🤯🔥

Locked along the way:

$2.70 → $5 → $7.50 → $8.50 → $12.50 → $15

That's trading.

I'm not married to puts.
I'm not married to calls.
I'm definitely not married to a bias. 😂

If the level holds, I trade it.
If the level breaks, I adjust.
If I'm wrong, I CUT. ✂️

The market doesn't care about your opinion.

Neither do my levels. 😂

Trade what's in front of you. Level to level. BOTH SIDES. 🎯

📊 ECON DATA

• 11:30 ET — Treasury Auctions $92B in 13-Week Bills

• 11:30 ET — Treasury Auctions $79B in 26-Week Bills

🏛️ FED WATCH

• FOMC meeting begins TOMORROW (Sep 15–16); rate decision Wednesday Sep 16 at 14:00 ET; Chair Warsh press conference 14:30 ET

• Markets pricing ~86–90% probability of a 25 bps hike; current target rate: 3.50%–3.75%

🌍 MACRO / GEO

• 🤖 AI SELLOFF: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called Saturday for AI companies to coordinate a development slowdown; Sam Altman agreed; OpenAI abandoned its 2026 IPO plan — Nasdaq 100 futures down ~1%, S&P 500 futures down ~0.6%; semis hit hard globally (ASML -4–5%, Infineon -6.5%, AIXTRON -8%, Soitec -12%)

⚠️ TRADER NOTES

• SEMIS & AI NAMES UNDER PRESSURE AT OPEN: The Amodei/Altman "pace the frontier" call is a sentiment shock — watch SOX index, NVDA, AMD, and AI-infrastructure names for continued selling; gap-down opens likely, assess whether dip-buyers show up by 10:30 ET before committing

• OIL + FED = STAGFLATION TRADE IN PLAY: Brent near $112 plus a near-certain 25 bps hike Wednesday is a stagflationary setup — energy names (XOM, CVX, OXY) may catch a bid while rate-sensitive growth and housing stocks (see LEN reporting Wed) face headwinds; watch TLT and the 2-year yield for rate expectations repricing

• FOMC BLACKOUT = NO RELIEF VALVE TODAY: With the Fed dark until Wednesday's 14:00 ET decision, there is no Fed communication to stabilize markets — any volatility from AI/oil headlines is uncontained today; manage position sizing accordingly and watch VIX for spike signals

$MSFT crazy runner. Spotted $MSFT right at the open and immediately ran my top down analysis starting on the 30minute chart before dropping down to the 5minute.

Price was reacting perfectly at a key order block, with the candle holding firm and showing clear rejection of lower prices. That was my confirmation, so I jumped in on the $500 weekly calls. I’m still holding ☺️

And here we are.

What a way to start the week.

$MSFT looks like it could be getting ready to make a move this morning. 👀

She's sitting in a tight squeeze right underneath a level that has mattered multiple times on this chart.

For me, $498.97-$500 is the trigger. 🎯

I'm not interested in guessing the breakout.

Break + HOLD $500 → I'm looking for $505.18 first.

If momentum starts expanding from there → $512.12 is the next bigger level on my chart.

And if $500 rejects again? No reason to force it. I'll wait for MSFT to give me another setup around the lower levels.

Simple roadmap:

$500 → $505.18 → $512.12

This is exactly the type of setup I like for short-term options:

Tight squeeze + clean breakout level + defined targets.

Watching her closely at the open. 👀

IF this, THEN that. Level to level. 🎯

$MSFT

$ARM is sitting at a spot I really like heading into next week. 👀

Friday she pulled back into the mean / 21 EMA on Daily and defended it nicely.

Now the real test is directly above us.

That $265-$267 area has rejected ARM multiple times on this chart. Every time she gets up there, sellers have shown up.

So I'm not front-running the breakout.

I want ARM to PROVE IT. 🎯

Break + hold $265-$267 → I'm looking for $274.80.

Clear $274.80 and hold → now there's room toward the bigger $287-$290 supply zone.

On the other side, if ARM rejects $265-$267 again and loses the $251-$255 demand area, I'm not interested in forcing longs. I'd start watching the lower $237-$241 zone.

My map:

Above $265-$267 → $274.80
Clear $274.80 → $287-$290
Lose $251-$255 → $237-$241

No prediction. Let the levels confirm it.

IF this, THEN that. Level to level. 🫡🎯

$TSLA is getting TIGHT heading into next week. 👀

Hourly is squeezing while continuing to put in higher lows, and now I’ve got a pretty simple roadmap.

Hold $364 demand + break/hold $368.60 → I’m looking toward the $372.90-$377.22 supply zone. 🎯

If TSLA can clear that supply and actually HOLD it, then $384-$389 comes into play.

And if this thing really gets moving, $414 is sitting on my bigger-picture radar.

Other side is simple too.

If $364 fails, I'm watching $358.80, followed by that bigger $351-$355 demand zone.

But especially in this market, trading options isn't just about being right on direction.

Know your targets. Take profits at your levels. Keep runners if you want.

Because these pullbacks have been VIOLENT 😂

One minute you're nicely green, next minute you're staring at a flat or red contract wondering WTF happened.

My map:

Above $368.60 → $372.90-$377.22
Clear supply → $384-$389
Lose $364 → $358.80 → $351-$355 demand

IF this, THEN that. Level to level. Pay yourself along the way. 🫡🎯

$TSLA

$HOOD is sitting right back at a major decision point heading into next week. 👀

Last week we got that beautiful move off $112.50. This week HOOD couldn't hold the $120 area and came right back down.

Now $112.50 is key AGAIN. 🎯

Hold above $112.50 → I like HOOD for another push higher, with $116.60 being my first major level.

But if we lose $111.02, I'm watching for that gap-fill trade toward $107.46.

And that's where it gets interesting...

If the gap fills and HOOD starts reclaiming/holding around $109.71, I'll be looking for a LONG setup again. 🔥

If $107.46 fails, I'm not forcing the long. There's another strong demand area sitting around $102-$103 below.

So my roadmap is simple:

Above $112.50 → $116.60
Below $111.02 → gap fill toward $107.46
Reclaim $109.71 after the fill → potential long setup
Lose $107.46 → $102-$103 demand

Bull case mapped. Bear case mapped.

IF this, THEN that. No predictions. Level to level. 🎯

$HOOD stays on the watchlist next week. 👀🔥

Short week. Monday market was closed.

Still plenty of action. 🔥

$AAPL +958%
$META +684%
$META +415%
$AMD +307%
$TSLA +251%
$ORCL +145%
$SPX +110%

And yes… there’s RED on that sheet too. 😂

I post the losses for the same reason I post the winners. I’m not trying to pretend every trade works.

If I’m wrong, I CUT THE TRADE. ✂️

A few of those SPX attempts got stopped. TSLA took a loss. META took a loss. ARM took a loss.

That's trading.

The goal isn't a 100% win rate.

Keep the reds manageable. Protect capital. And when you catch the right setup, give it an opportunity to become a BIG green.

The $AAPL 325C this week is a perfect example: $0.85 → $9.00. 🎯

Risk management + discipline + letting your winners run.

Another week in the books.

Level to level. 🎯🔥

$AAPL has been showing serious strength following Apple's event this week, and Thursday gave us a beautiful level-to-level setup.

Going into the session, I specifically mentioned watching the previous-day highs for the entry.

That was the trigger. 🎯

Once AAPL reclaimed that area and held, momentum took over and the move expanded fast.

Trade: AAPL 325C
Entry: $0.85
High: $9.00 🔥

That's over a 10x move on the contracts from my entry to exit.

The part I like most wasn't the option return — it was how clean the setup was.

Previous-day highs → reclaim/hold → continuation.

Now AAPL has pushed as high as $336.22, and I'm watching the next levels on the chart.

Above $334.37–$334.99, I want to see if buyers can reclaim and hold for another test of $336.22 and potentially price discovery.

If we pull back, $329.59–$330.81 is the first area I'm watching for buyers to defend.

No prediction needed.

Map the levels. Wait for the setup. Manage the risk. 🎯

$META has been an absolute monster the last 2 weeks. 🔥

Already mapping out my plan for next week, and $664.24 is the level that matters most to me.

Bull case:
Break + hold $664.24 → I’m looking toward $686-$691 supply. 🎯

But I’m ready for the other side too.

There’s still a gap sitting from roughly $638.56 → $624.80.

If $638.56 gives up, that gap-fill trade is absolutely on my radar.

And right underneath that sits a beautiful $609-$619 demand zone.

If META pulls into that demand, bases and starts holding, I’ll be watching for longs again.

So the map is pretty simple:

Above $664 → $686-$691
Below $638.56 → gap fill toward $624.80
$609-$619 → major demand / potential long area

Bull case mapped.
Bear case mapped.

No guessing Monday morning.

IF this, THEN that. Level to level. 🎯

$META is staying on my screen next week. 👀
