Brief Overview
Welcome back to this week’s Stocks to Watch!
Happy Sunday, we hope your weekend is going well! We have a few familiar names in DAL, TLRY, PEP & LEVI scheduled to report earnings this week. We’ll also hear form Fed Chairman Powell as he gives opening remarks on Thursday. Just a reminder that Trade deficit, Initial Jobless claims & Monthly U.S. Federal budget data may be delayed if the government shutdown continues.
Looking back at last week…
Monday: Tech & Equities Rise Amid Shutdown Worries
Markets kicked off the week with gains, as the S&P and Nasdaq climbed while investors brushed off hawkish Fed comments. Tech names led the charge, and sentiment got a boost from a strong inflation print late last week.
Tuesday: Rally Holds, Markets Watch Washington
Stocks held onto Monday’s momentum. The looming U.S. government shutdown added some tension, but for now, risk appetite stayed intact. Strength in AI and semiconductors helped support broad market gains.
Wednesday: Midweek Mixed as Tech Softens
Markets cooled a bit midweek. The Nasdaq pulled back after earlier strength, pulled lower by weakness in names like Palantir. The S&P and Dow were more stable, but the week’s positive tone was starting to face headwinds.
Thursday: Records & Retreats
Stocks flirted with new highs, but some profit-taking kicked in. The S&P set fresh records while the Nasdaq struggled under recent pullbacks in select tech names. The government shutdown continued to loom as a wildcard for Friday.
Friday: Mixed Finish, Weekly Gains in Hand
Indexes ended mixed, with the Nasdaq dipping and the S&P showing a slight gain. Palantir’s decline weighed on tech, offsetting broader strength. While one of the major data reports (jobs) was delayed by the government shutdown, stocks still posted weekly gains.
Key Takeaway
Despite political drama and data delays, markets navigated the week with resilience. Momentum from tech and AI helped offset pressure in some sectors, and investors leaned into rate-cut hopes. Heading into next week, all eyes are on whether Washington reaches a deal—and how delayed economic data will reshape the backdrop.

Market Brief
S&P 500 ETF (Ticker: SPY) – Daily Chart
Opened last week at: $664.36
Hit a weekly high of: $672.68 on Fri 10/3
Hit a weekly low of: $660.96 (premarket) on Wed 10/1
Closed the week at: $669.21
Last Week…
New month, new all time highs for SPY! After a sideways start to the week, SPY offered one last dip to $663 before breaking over $670 on Thursday and beyond to a new high of $672.68 on Friday.
Bullish Perspective
Bulls will want to see SPY continue to set new all time highs. Look for a break over the previous weeks highs of $670.50 for a test of the new all time highs at $672.68 for continued upside into blue skies. If we see a breakout look to targets of $675 – 680 – 685.
Bearish Perspective
Bears would like to see SPY find resistance at the $670.50 – 672.68 range for a possible rejection back to $668.50. If we see a break under this level SPY could be in store for a deeper slide to support at $664.34 – 660.

Weekly Stocks to Watch
As always, we’ll be heavily focused on our news feeds & scanners for prime opportunities throughout the week.
Etsy Inc. (Ticker: ETSY)
Solid week. ETSY had a strong run up from under $65 and into closed above $72. Hitting a weekly high of $76.52. Solid volume this past week as well, which will have our attention in the coming weeks. We will now look for $70-67.5 as support range. Deeper support may be found in the mid – lower $60s. With this, look for ETSY to break over and hold the $75 range. If this is happening, would look for continuation off that into last week’s high and these targets beyond – $80.30 – 82.5 – 85 – 89.5. There should be resistance at $90 if it gets there. However, if $90 is able to claim with time, a run into the psych level $100 could be likely into the coming months.
McDonalds (Ticker: MCD)
Keep this simple, use $300 range as support. MCD has shown support here the past three weeks, forming wicks each week. If $300 is holding, we are anticipating a move off of $300 into the trigger $306.58. With a breakout over the trigger price, (306.58) look for $310 – 315 in the coming days. With more time (weeks – months) – 320- 325 – into new all time highs (+$326.52). If $300 is not holding, $298 – 295 – 290s are the next support levels. A way to keep it simple, is to use $300 as a strength gauge.
Pfizer (Ticker: PFE)
Solid full body candle for Pfizer last week on solid volume. It’s been a while since PFE had a full body candle form like this. We will be looking for continuation to the upside if these levels hold – $26-25. So use $25 as support and target moves back over last week’s high of $27.69. A breakout over that, target $28 – 29 – 30 – 31.5. There is major resistance at $31.5 so could be a spot to trim. However, if PFE can continue on momentum over $31.5 target upside into $33.5 – 36 within the coming months. If $25 does not hold, it might make sense to wait until $25 to want to join long. PFE may move at a slow range, so patience is most likely necessary.
Walmart (Ticker: WMT)
After retracing to the 50SMA and catching a bounce WMT has put in a Cup & Handle pattern from Aug 10 to Sept 10 with handle top around $102.76. Look for a break above $102.86/103.00 for continued upside with resistance levels at $104 – 104.72 – 105.30 – 106 – 107. If WMT breaks below recent consolidation lows at the 101.25 level, we could see support levels at $100.70 – 99.87 – 97.50.
Core Scientific Inc. (Ticker: CORZ)
One of the top sectors in the Blockchain and AI Infrastructure space CORZ is on a bullish trend while putting in a bull flag and setting up for a potential short squeeze. Look for a break over $18.50 – 18.63 (52 wkh’s) for continuation to resistance at $19.20 – 20.12 – 22.00. A break below the bull flag around $17.40 and CORZ could see support levels $16.50 – 14.65 – 12.60.
United Parcel Service Inc. (Ticker: UPS)
Possibly the start of a reversal trend, UPS’s most recent drop on earning 7/29 continued lower for the next two months to a low of $82 on Sept 11. Now closing with Higher lows, and broke over the 50SMA on Friday. We’ll be on the lookout for a break over $83.11 for momentum to keep up with targets at resistance levels of $86.35 – 87.30 – 88.55 – 89.90 – 91.00 – 92.45 – 96.66 – 98 and eventually fill the gap at $101.58 with longer term targets at $103.40

Last Week’s Continued Watch
Ideas from last week’s Watchlist that are still relevant this week
Marvell Technology Inc. (Ticker: MRVL) “Keep this idea simple by keeping eyes on a breakout over $85.76 – 86 for the signal. There is no strong resistance over that level. Target upside into $87.75 – 90 – 95 if broken. There is resistance at $95 range. If that clears, target a move into $100 – all time high test with more time. However, if MRVL does not clear the breakout level it’s likely to chop around or move lower into $80-75.”
VNET Group Inc. (Ticker: VNET) “Shows resistance at $12, but if that is broken to upside VNET may stretch out into $13 – 14 – 15 – 16 in the coming weeks. Looking at this on the weekly chart shows potential upside. It’s key to see $12 break and hold. It is shorted heavily, so VNET can be a squeeze candidate over $12, and even more so if $16 breaks with time. Use $10 as a strength gauge, if under $10 deeper support would be $9 -8. Buys at these levels would be optimal if VMET gets back above $10, and could enhance risk : reward.“
Bilibili Inc. (Ticker: BILI) “Use $25-24-22.5 range as support. With time, and if the support holds, we will target moves back over $25 into $31 which is the last leg of resistance. If Chinese names continue to trend, BILI could fly into $40 – 53 where the next resistance level is if the $31 resistance is broken with increasing volume.”
Crocs Inc. (Ticker: CROX) “Use support $75. Keep it simple, with time target $90 – 100. If $100 is holding, target – 110 – 123. If CROX moves under $75 it may be best to avoid as it would be in jeopardy of moving into $70 – 65 – 60.”
DoorDash Inc. (Ticker: DASH) “Look for a breakout above the $263.50 – 264.20 range with targets at $265.01 -267.32 – 369.06 (top of consolidation) – 270 – 271.25 with a longer term target at 277.50. If Dash can’t hold 257.50 (last weeks low) – 257.20 (20SMA) we could see DASH slide to support levels at $254.90 – $250.95 – $244.69.”
MetLife Inc. (Ticker: MET) “Putting in a reverse head a shoulders pattern with consolidation going back to May 13th and recently breaking above the 20 & 200 SMAs, We’ll be looking for a break above the neckline around $81.86 – 82.31 for possible targets at $84.05 – 86.35. If MET breaks below $79.84 look for the short term downside target at $78.22. If It breaks under its recent 2-month consolidation level at 77.85 look for deeper downside targets at $76.85 – 74.60 – 70.95.”

Here is an informative guideline on recognizing the Cup & Handle Pattern 👀 ☕
Using the daily time frame is ideal for this pattern as it sets up over an extended period of time‼️
It’s important to note that this pattern is set up by a strong bullish trend that has occurred for 1 or more months ✅ This is key 🔑 Without this, there is less likely hood of this pattern happening.
Look for a U shape cup pattern to form over the next 1 to 6 months 👀
After the cup has rounded its way back to the previous high (these should be relatively at the same level) anticipate the handle to form ✅
The handle can either be a small pullback, or a larger one but what it should be is a shallow retracement and ONLY dip 1/3 – 1/2 the depth of the cup 👌 The handle can take anywhere from 1 week to 1 month to form.
When the handle gets back to previous highs, here’s where to anticipate / play a breakout swing trade. 👨💻
The breakout needs volume!!! It is crucial to wait for confirmation of this volume to give your trade the best opportunity to catch the breakout to new highs. 🙌
