Brief Overview
Welcome back to this week’s Stocks to Watch!
We’re half way through June and two weeks from being half way through 2025. Earnings season is dying down with just a few names of interest like Scheduled to report this week. That said, its going to be in interesting week with FOMC interest-rate coming in Wednesday followed by a Chairman Powell press conference. As always, we’ll be on the lookout for the best setups to alert to members!
Looking back at last week…
Monday: Markets Tick Up Ahead of Trade Talks
Global markets rose as U.S. and Chinese officials met in London for trade talks. The S&P edged up slightly, Nasdaq added a modest gain, and the Dow stayed flat. Oil prices jumped, boosted by hopes for a deal, and the dollar softened.
Tuesday: Tech & Trade Cause Ripples
Markets continued to rally, led by tech stocks. Tesla helped push the S&P higher, but the dollar softened as traders focused on trade talk progress. European markets stayed cautious, waiting on clarity from London.
Wednesday: Middle East Tensions Weight on Stocks
The S&P and Nasdaq slipped a bit as tensions in the Middle East escalated, weighing on investor sentiment. Treasury yields backed off, oil hit new highs, and safe-haven flows gained momentum. Inflation data came in mild, which helped temper fears of tariff-driven price surges.
Thursday: AI Buzz Offsets Global Worries
AI optimism helped markets rebound. Oracle’s upbeat outlook lifted tech stocks, while concern lingered about a dip in household net worth tied to tariff worries. U.S. IPOs got a highlight, with Chime’s strong debut signaling renewed confidence in new listings.
Friday: Geopolitics Send Stocks Lower
Stocks dropped sharply amid fresh Israel-Iran tensions. Oil surged over 7%, sending markets into selloff mode. The S&P dropped 1.1%, the Dow fell 1.8%, and the Nasdaq slid about 1.3%. Investors flocked to Treasuries and the dollar as risk sentiment took a hit.
Takeaway
It was a rollercoaster week—trade hopes early on, geopolitical jitters midweek, a tech-led rally, then a selloff on escalating conflicts. Despite the ups and downs, markets are proving their mettle, but uncertainty remains the name of the game heading into next week.

Market Brief
S&P 500 ETF (Ticker: SPY) – Daily Chart
Opened last week at: $599.72
Hit a weekly high of: $606.30 (premarket) on Wed 6/11
Hit a weekly low of: $595.50 on Fri 6/13
Closed the week at: $597.00
Last Week…
After breaking $600 the week prior, SPY was able to spend most of last week hanging around the $600 – 605 range before dipping down to close the week at $597.
Bullish Perspective
Bulls will want to see this SPY reclaim $600 once again for a move back up to test last Weeks high of $606.30. If we see a break over this level, we could see more upside. Look for $609.50 to break for a test of all time highs at $613.23 and possibly beyond into blue skies.
Bearish Perspective
Bears would once again like to see SPY get rejected at the $600 level for a rejection to the downside. If the $600 level gets rejected we could see SPY fall to Support at $595.50. I SPY slips up here last weeks targets of $590 – 585.50 – 583 – 580 could come back into play.

Weekly Stocks to Watch
As always, we’ll be heavily focused on our news feeds & scanners for prime opportunities throughout the week.
Home Depot Inc. (Ticker: HD)
Potential downside could be in store for Home Depot in the coming days – weeks. Solid week of selling last week, might see the continuation off of that candle. HD closed the week at $354.66. We are anticipating HD to show resistance from thee into 360 for rejects & potentially break last weeks low of $352.8 into $350 and under into 345 – 342.5 – 340 zone. There should be support in these downside levels, so would be great spot to take off any short positions.
Oracle Corp. (Ticker: ORCL)
Huge rip into all time highs for ORCL closing the week at $215.22. Watch for upside into blue skies over $216.60 into short term 220 – 225 and a deeper $250 thought. $250 is a very lofty target so we will have to see if ORCL can continue up in price. However, if ORCL is not able to break over last week’s high, there’s room to downside $209 – 207.5 – 202.5 – 200. $200 may be solid support and a very strong exit if ORCL gets there. Also, $200 could be a great spot to enter to catch a bounce back into $210 – 215.
Futu Holdings Ltd. ADR (Ticker: FUTU)
Bull flag pattern on 4 hour chart is building. We also noticed FUTU on the scanners in the Trading Room. We will keep eyes on FUTU and respect these levels. Use support / buy opportunities at $110 – 106. If FUTU closes over $115 there can be strong upside into the next days – weeks into $118.55 – 120 – 122.5. A move into all time highs +$130 may be brewing here, but that might need more time (months, and these levels above to claim). If $106 does not hold, watch out for a move back under $105 – 100.
Insmed Inc. (Ticker: INSM)
Huge move with solid volume and a full body last week for this +18B market cap biopharma name. Solid weekly candle. Look for breakout over $100 to target a bit of unknown upside $105 – 110 – 125. However, without a breakout over $100 look for short term support at lower levels. First spot would be $96. If $96 falls watch out for reject moves into $92 – 89. If under $88.5 there could be a deeper slide here back into a return to mean $85 – 80.
United States Oil Fund (Ticker: USO)
Closed above $80. Look for continuation off of last weeks candle into upside targets $82.5 – 83.5 – 84.5. These spots have seen solid selling pressure in the past few years so would be a great spot to take off longs. Support range should now be $80 – 77.5 – 75. If USO is moving up, look for other US oil companies like CVX, XOM, BP, SHEL, OXY to climb as well.
Cloudflare Inc. (Ticker: NET)
Back at breakout levels and a strong look into the future if we see a breakout. Look for a potential breakout continuation into $200 and potential all time highs +222 in the coming weeks – months. Look for intermediate support at $167. Deeper support would be $160. Look for a move back from the lower $170s into $180. Use $181.81 as a trigger. If this is broken to the upside, NET may see impulsive upside moves. If $160s fails to hold and market is selling off, NET may be cooling off and take more time to build support over $150 which would hamper any short term bullish plays, so be aware of that if long.
We have other names on watch and we’ll continue to monitor our breaking news feeds and Stock & Options Scanners to help make the smartest picks with the most potential throughout the week!
Last Week’s Continued Watch
Ideas from last week’s Watchlist that are still relevant this week
Dollar General (Ticker: DG) “For short term support use $110. $105 is also a strong support range, and $100 should how act as deeper support and solid demand moving forward. Look for target over $115.11 towards $120 – 125 – 127 in the near term (weeks) With more time DG may be able to work into $130 – 140 – 150 (months) although this optimistic, the chart looks like it is a possibility though. This idea is relatively simple, as support levels are very straight forward (110 – 105 – 100). This idea may take time to play out, keep eyes on the support levels for buy opportunities and expect to need time for this potential trade idea to flourish for you.”
Celsius Holdings Inc. (Ticker: CELH) “Keep it simple and look for $40 range to hold support. If $40 doesn’t hold a sideways/downside move might chop and slow momentum or fall back into $35. So, to want to stay long $40 must hold for strong conviction. Look for the breakout over $41.13 to send this into $45 – 47 to a 50 test in the coming weeks. If $50 does hit there’s a lot of resistance there, so it could be a wise place to take profits. If $40 loses support, $37 – 35 might come, and if under $35 maybe CELH could reject further back into 32 – 30 range.”
Block Inc. (Ticker: XYZ) “Would watch out for sells here at $65 range in the coming days. However, it theres buyers in the tape and $65 – 60 holds, there can be a lot more meat to the upside so be ready to cover. Target moves into $70. Which is also a strong level of interest and there may be sells here. If no sells and $70 closes in the money on a weekly chart – 75 – 80 n the coming week potentially deeper to $90+ in months. If XYZ is rejected hard from $65, 60 is another strong support area but if the rejection hits hard and market moves lower, XYZ can find itself back at $57 – 55 – 50 as XYZ chart still has much to prove.”
Affirm Holdings Inc. (Ticker: AFRM) “Short term support is now $57-55 range. Use this as risk to target upside over last week’s high of $59.81 into $62.75 – 67.5 – 71.5 – 73. There should be a lot of resistance at that $71-73 so could be a good place to take profits. If there’s a breakout over $74 AFRM may breakout on volume back into $80s. If support doesn’t hold at 55 range, AFRM can return to mean back into low $50s, so be aware of that wrecking short term long positions.”
Lemonade Inc. (Ticker: LMND) “Very much interested in LMND with a break over $41.17 holding. Then if in that case, target a move into $50 – 53. Can also If Look for dip buys $37 – 35 and use that as risk level if anticipating the upside. LMND has sold off strong at the current levels it is trading at so keep eyes on that $41.17 spot.”
