Brief Overview
Welcome back to this week’s Stocks to Watch!
We hope you were all able to relax and enjoy your weekend. We have a solid week on tap with a full earnings calendar as well as CPI and PPI numbers being reported. We’ll hear from a few familiar names like OKLO, CRCL, RGTI, JD, DE & AAP this week.
Looking back at last week…
Monday: Major Bounce After a Rough End to July
Markets sprang back with gusto. The S&P jumped about 1.5%, the Nasdaq climbed roughly 2%, and the Dow rallied nearly 1.3%, recovering much of the losses from last Friday. Strong earnings (including Tyson Foods) and fresh speculation about Fed rate cuts fueled optimism. Tech, homegrown consumer plays, and smaller caps rode the wave. Index gains for the week still look solid year to date.
Tuesday: Trade Tensions Weigh, Fed Narrative Shifts
Markets cooled off slightly, holding in place as investors awaited more clarity on tariffs and Federal Reserve policy. Futures showed flat-to-slight moves, with markets digesting whether trade talk progress or rate-cut prospects would take the lead.
Wednesday: Stability Takes Hold, Momentum Lingers
Markets dug in midweek. While tariff noise remained in the background, many sectors held firm—thanks in part to earnings momentum and a gradual return of risk appetite. Tech strength kept indices near their peaks.
Thursday: Quiet Day, Eyes on CPI & Earnings Ahead
Trading stayed calm, with markets more reactive to upcoming inflation data and a fresh wave of earnings. Leadership shifted slightly into defensive sectors, but major indices held steady as investors prepared for Friday’s catalysts.
Friday: Neutral End to a Stronger Week
Markets ended the week quietly, with the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow finishing largely flat. Solid Q2 earnings, a soft tone in inflation data, and ongoing positive trade chatter helped avoid any steep drop-offs—even though tariff talk still floated quietly in the background.
Key Takeaway
It was a bullish reset week—markets bounced back early, held onto gains, and ended on neutral footing. Earnings strength and easing Fed concerns helped offset tariff uncertainty and weak jobs data. All eyes now shift to next week’s inflation report and how trade policy evolves.

Market Brief
S&P 500 ETF (Ticker: SPY) – Daily Chart
Opened last week at: $625.67
Hit a weekly high of: $638.61 on (After Hours) Fri 8/8
Hit a weekly low of: $624.81 on (pre-market) Mon 8/4
Closed the week at: $637.18
Last Week…
Altering between green and red days SPY seemed to keep an overall uptrend last week making its way back over the $635 level and back in range of all time highs.
Bullish Perspective
Bulls will want to see support hold up over the $635 for a possible test of all time highs at $639.85. If SPY is able to reclaim highs and get that extra push over $640 we could see a stronger push to targets at $645 and the ultimate psych level at $650.
Bearish Perspective
Bears would like to see a reject at all time highs at $639.85 for a move back down to test support in the $635 – 632 range. If SPY fails to hold support we could see a deeper slide to targets at $630 – 627.75 – 625 – 620 and beyond if selling stays heavy.

Weekly Stocks to Watch
As always, we’ll be heavily focused on our news feeds & scanners for prime opportunities throughout the week.
Lemonade Inc. (Ticker: LMND)
Broke out last week after posting earnings with strong volume. We will have eyes on LMND for strength and continuation. For LMND to remain bullish, we would like to see $46.25 zone hold. Under that, LMND is at risk of bleeding back into the lower $40s. For bulls, if we see LMND back above $50 that holds firm, target a move to $52.38 – $53.85. A move above $54 target impulsive moves to $60 – 70 as we expect shorts to cover, there which would potentially squeeze price up.
Rivian Automotive Inc. (Ticker: RIVN)
On watch because it appears be pulling into a low before we see the pivot to semi-recent highs. Look for support $12 – 11.50 zone to hold and base with time. With this position, anticipate the curl to happen with time target moves back into $14 – 15 and then, if this happens, look for the pattern to play out to target the May high +$17. If Support doesn’t hold at $11.50, watch out for a move to bleed into $11-10.5.
First Solar (Ticker: FSLR)
Pattern looks powerful with obvious upside. Anticipating higher price as recent action is getting tight and coiled. Look for support $185 – 180 – 175 range to hold. Look for a break out into +$190 – 200 in the short term. With more time we do anticipate FSLR to run up into $225 – 250 – 260 targets. If $175 range does not seem to hold, there may be a move lower into $160 – 155 – 150 range that wipes out short term long positions.
Draftkings Inc. (Ticker: DKNG)
Bearish engulfing candle on the weekly chart has us suspecting that DKNG may move lower into the coming weeks. If $42.5 does not hold, target a move into $41 – 40 – 38. For this idea, look for resistance to be $43-44 range. If DKNG bounces back, it may test the upper wick of the bearish engulfing weekly candle $46 – 47.4. Note that if $42.5 does hold firm, would watch for bounces to the upside levels mentioned here.
Soundhound AI Inc. (Ticker: SOUN)
Solid earnings, sturdy weekly candle printed that closed above resistance. On watch for continuation. SOUN has been building for a while now, and looks ripe for a breakout into higher prices. Over $13 should be looked at as holding strength and would put pressure on bears. Under $13 and a fade to $12 is in the picture, and probably a bit of consolidation. Use a break over $14.25 as a trigger for potential highs towards $15.5 – 16 – 16.5 – 17.5. The $17 range has been a spot that will need to clear to send SOUN rocketing up into $20 – 25 with more time.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (Ticker: BMNR)
Very volatile name that can move quick. Last weeks action has this on our watchlist. We see a lot of potential upside. Look for BMNR to work up into resistance from July – $59, especially if we see $52 – 50 – 47.5 zone hold. Make sure to mark the $59 level for a breakout because shorts may cover heavily with a move over this. Target a quick impulsive move into $70 – 75. BMNR can move quick, so make sure to take profits. If BMNR does not hold $50, protection might be wise as it can keep bleeding down into the lower $40s which would wipe out longs who bought above $50 confidence.
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
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (Ticker: CMG) “Although heavy, we will look for support in the $41-40 spot for a bounce play back into $45 – 47 in the near term. However, if $40 does not hold, CMG could extend its downside bleed into $37.5 – 35, continue to crush long positions and burn opportunity cost. However, this range could be a solid spot to start a long term long position / leaps or investment and target $50+ as CMG has bounced back strongly in the lifetime of the stock.”
Coinbase Inc. (Ticker: COIN) “Area of interest. COIN fell sharply into 13ema on weekly chart and closed just under it. The $310 – 300 – 295 range may be a solid spot to buy / hold for next leg up targeting 325 – 240 – 350 along the way. If the 13ema continues to hold the trend we suspect these targets to hit. Price might drip under it, and chop around to hurt premium values in the short term. If entering short term position here, you risk shorting the 13ema trendline on the powerful weekly chart. Would watch how it reacts to this range in the coming days – weeks as well as monitoring the BTC price.“
Tesla Inc. (Ticker: TSLA) “Popular name that has been chopping around a wide range since May between $270 – $370. This is displaying a giant bull flag on the weekly while putting in somewhat of a symmetrical triangle. Look for 290 area as the last lowest low to hold and 330 the last lower high. Those can become trigger points for a breakdown or breakout. Ultimately 270/280 could be great areas to risk off of if starting a long position. If that base breaks down, then price could leak into 260 – 220 pocket. Alternatively, over 340, you have a breakout potential to the 360/365 trigger area, which could lead the price to the 380 – 420 pocket.”
