Trade Alert: Still Bullish, Still Selective
Bullish options trades on five names from our Market Watchers X list that passed our technical screens, four of which are tied to the AI buildout in different ways.
Still Selective, Still Bullish
As we noted yesterday, crowded doesn’t mean wrong.
Tuesday’s pullback in some of the AI/momentum names didn’t refute the broader infrastructure thesis—it just made selectivity more important.
That’s an important distinction. We don’t need to chase every chart that’s gone vertical, and we don’t need to force trades on the obvious mega-cap names when they don’t give us a clean setup. We can still stay bullish on the AI buildout while looking for better entry points, better structures, and less crowded ways to express the theme.
Process Over Chasing
All of today’s trades come from our Market Watchers X list—accounts we follow because they have surfaced timely, market-moving ideas before. From there, the names still have to pass our technical screens.
We’re looking for names with constructive Chartmill setup ratings, reasonable Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings, and bullish directional pressure—signals that suggest these stocks aren’t simply overextended momentum names.
That doesn’t guarantee they’ll work, of course. But it does help us avoid the worst version of this market: buying crowded names after vertical moves with no structure and no margin for error.
Letting Volatility Help Us
The other piece is structure. We’re not just buying common shares or naked calls and hoping the timing is perfect.
Where the options market gives us enough premium, we’re using combo and hybrid structures that let us harvest volatility on the way in. That’s the goal here: stay bullish, stay selective, and use volatility as something that can help us—not just something we have to stomach.
Today’s trades are built around that idea.
The themes are varied—AI compute architecture, embedded software for embodied AI, AI storage infrastructure, travel identity, and semiconductor process technology—but the common thread is the same: names surfaced by our Market Watchers workflow, confirmed by our technical screens, and structured with options so volatility can work for us.
