 traders talk edition here of our afternoon meeting. Great to see all of our students and members alike inside our live trading room. Michael is still sticking with us here. I saw Warren just before, Brian and Kathleen as well. So for all of our students and members right now, just let me know if you can hear me loud and clear. Should be good to go there and should be good to go across social media, Facebook live, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram now, et cetera. So Sid, Barbara, Dave and Lauren's great to see all of them and inside the live trading room. Charles included. Don't want to leave Charles hanging out there. So with that in mind, markets are pushing up higher heading into this afternoon. Perhaps a pre prelude of things to come heading into the end of the Fed meeting tomorrow afternoon. That is just about 24, about 24 hours. I'll have a little competition here during this timeframe with Jerome Powell giving his remarks coming off the Fed meeting. So, you know, I look forward to that provides great volatility to this market. Tomorrow morning should be kind of dry though. Really not a whole lot happening. I feel like going into the Fed meeting with that said though, definitely strong market though heading into this afternoon. APLD we're going to start off with. It's on the screen here to begin, but it's up like 20%. Hey, folks for Jeff Charles, Barbara, Dave, et cetera. All of our students that joined me inside traders talk earlier today. Let me ask you, what price were we looking out for support just before about at 11 o'clock in the morning going into 12 o'clock noon time, you know, PM Eastern know where were we exactly looking for support? Barbara says 1027. I'll tell you what, Barbara's right because of course, this right here is the exact chart that we lined up during traders talk our weekly workshop. We host that on YouTube and social streams as well just earlier today, but resistance became support. This is the only trade I'm in right now. So that let me ask Barbara and Jeff and all of us here right now, is anyone here live in this trade from the 1027 1025 ish area? You're calling out, you know, is a bit of a historical area from the chart, but also there was an iceberg there too, which generated that's become that support level. So let me know just out of curiosity, if anyone's in on this trade right now, does not mean to jump head first, but right now, if you're in on this trade from that support or a little higher, you're sitting pretty not fully out of the doghouse. It's looking good. But during this meeting, I'm just going to make sure I keep this up. So hopefully it doesn't shake back down. My stop has already set to break even. So in a worst case scenario event, this thing like crashes bad, I'm ensuring I'm not going to lose a single dime on this trade. So, you know, it already held support twice actually crashed into it once, which led to my entry in like immediately. Then from there, as it pulled back, I was really hoping to see what we got now. So I'm certainly hoping for it to not break lower and cookie crumbled nicely just for the meantime and look to see if this can keep pushing up. So actually for right now, APLD will put on our watch list to begin. Let me show you the book map here because now at this stage, it's just more and more likely for this to try and push up higher to the 32,000 share order on the ask sell order here at 11 bucks. That's the next resistance there. I was looking for that push earlier at this point prior to even support building just because it was holding so well. Hey, if it's not going to dip here at this point, there's still a chance. Well, didn't go, which led to support to get tested. And here we are right now. So definitely good trade for this APLD. Now, again, really quick, little pop quiz. If you're with me in Trader's Talk, then certainly you should know what sector is APLD in. I'd asked you earlier and if you have us answered correctly, but now at this point, if you've attended Trader's Talk, you know what sector is APLD in. Ryan says tech, like Jith said earlier, but let's be more specific. Let's be more specific. AI. Hmm. Wait a second. AI up over 7% right now. It had a really strong afternoon, really. I mean, ended up pushing up during Trader's Talk, but our focus was more on the APLD. From there, though, smooth sailing on this AI trade. In fact, it looks like it's building like a pennant here just across the highs and lows on the weekly graph. So there's going to be a pretty strong reaction coming off of that alone, just discussing simple charting patterns. You know, just also at the Fed meeting, we'll see how this ends up reacting as well. But up big, on the way up to the highs, up towards 41. So easily enough, I'll just put this on our watchlist too. You got the APLD. You got the AI. Doesn't mean we're going to trade every AI stock under the sun, folks. PLTR is slow. As slow as my trade station platform is right now. I don't know what's happening there. So hopefully we'll try and go through this rather fast. GFAI. Dead. Same thing here, folks. Not much happening on that. There was another one I forgot. I thought off the top of my head. Obviously, I have ones like BBAI, SOUN. I thought there was one more off the top of my head, but oh, that was the one from earlier this morning. So how can we forget that? But you know what? I feel like this, if anything, is more washed up in terms of exhaustion. It's already traded so much volume today, nearly 50 million shares today. Prior to today, the stock was trading a few hundred thousand at most. So I would definitely say this is more exhausted or more likely to continue to be exhausted. I'll put it on our side list though, just kind of just at the very end there, just kind of hanging off the side list. We'll come back to that at the end. So what we'll do though, folks, is just go from top to bottom here. We did ball on a couple of other trades from earlier today, the ELBM stock. We ended up doing pretty nice on MKFG from earlier, PGY, Upstart. So let's just kind of go through those there. Actually, really quick, if you don't mind, I got a pesky trade station here is not only very slow right now, but also messed up my scans here. So just give me a brief second and do a little copy paste. It's really messing me up right now. Look how slow this is. All right, we're going to try and be rather fast, but it's a majority theme music. All right, so here we go, fixed. There we go. A-U-R-C. Let's see if we can keep the wheels moving though on this platform. This thing is molasses slow right now. Sheesh. All right, so finally A-U-R-C. Toppers and Gainer, obviously very illiquid. I just wanted to check out the chart and the order book. So it's up big. It's up huge, but it's more of a gamble than anything at this point. ELBM, I could just move on from this because looking at the daily, it's definitely not near the highs of the day. So we could actually just move forward from that. Not interested. It's a brutal afternoon meeting, folks. Ryan says, B-B-I-G just popped. I'll tell you what, maybe we can skip to that. Maybe we're going to skip to B-B-I-G. It's down 10%. Would have found it on the loser side at least. It's not as much of a pop there. A little side-lister right there. So I'll write it down with the B-F-R-G in terms of a side-list play, but I'm not really fully committed to that so far yet, Ryan. Not a bad shout. Hopefully more to it. Sun-W, slow. It's at the highs, but very slow. Not really too interested in that. Sheesh. PGY from earlier. Okay, so this was looking good up until just this last shake down. So again, I'll write it down for my side-list just to remind myself for tomorrow morning, but I'll pass on it here. Upstart. Hey, it's getting a little expensive now at this stage. Already was to begin, but the more and more it goes, it basically doubled up over the last month in price. So just trade it at your discretion. It's definitely a side-list stock on a day-to-day basis. If you tend to just trade the options on it, then it'll be much cheaper for you, but I'm more inclined to stick with that APLD still at this point. AI not looking terrible given the price. CLF had a strong day today. So checking back in with Cleveland Cliffs, CLF ended up making a nice breakout earlier, pushed up towards 18, and then from there pulled back. So this stock, you'd think, oh, it's still kind of near the highs. Maybe there's a chance it could run. This reminds me of Mara and Riot, all of those crypto stocks that just are very stagnant in the afternoons. So with that, this just I wouldn't really expect to make a more volatile pop than it already made from the morning. So I'll pass on it. Maybe it could inch back up again and break a new high, but I don't think I'll buy it. I think Weight Watchers has more short interest on it. I think this has more potential to be a better squeeze. So this Weight Watchers trade has been on our side-list on and off just over the last couple weeks, the last month or so, even dating back to April, you could say. But I didn't run into this until right now, just live. So my first look at Weight Watchers here, I would assume for there to be resistance at 10, 990, there's an iceberg there. Also, I would still assume tend to be the larger of the two and just really want to see a stronger break above both prices for that range to eventually get flipped into support, 990 to 10 combination of them. I'll put it on our main list though, Weight Watchers. If it doesn't make that big grand pop that you'd want to see today, then I feel like there's still some good hope to see that move, you know, if tomorrow, perhaps in the morning, pre-market or maybe after the opening bell. All right. So that's it across the Gainer side, folks, for Steve. Oh, shoot. Steve right now in the chat board. That's bad, I just say. I was just a bad assay for Steve, Yahuda, et cetera. Let me know if there's anything that I missed as I hop over to the loser side. I reckon I would have found this on the loser side, but it would have been pretty surprising if I didn't check out Steve's chat there. So Steve just wrote, Pack W Halt, live inside our trading room. That was about three minutes ago. So Steve was on the ball pretty early here on this halt here. Wicked pop and drop. I know they're supposed to have their earnings coming out, I think, today, right after the bell. If it's not after the bell, it could be tomorrow morning before the open. Oh, I don't have my Benzinga open on me right now, folks. So really quick, I'm going to have to do this just because this is a hell of a move down right now. I would hate to be in that trade long right now. That's for sure. And if you were short on that, then I'll tell you, you got pretty lucky. So I'm going to have to just reboot here really quick just on my Benzinga, but we're going to figure out what the hell happened right now. That's a wicked pop then drop just about nearly two points on that for Pack W from high to low. All right. So Pack W all says is chair is halted for volatility, which is assumed given that move earnings scheduled for July 25th, which is today. So I think it's after the close today. No. So maybe their earnings got leaked. That's a very from the hip. Just guess. Maybe the earnings got leaked or there was some report out there. Oh, here we go. Hot off the press here. 241 Eastern right now, folks. Bank of California and Pack West in advanced talks to combine. That's the news. So just post that inside the live trading room. We got Newsman Levitan here for you today. So post that first inside our trading room if I can. And then for all of us in social right now and spare with me a quick moment right now. A little discombobulated on my platform right now, but there we go. That's the news out on Pack West here. Bank of California, Pack West in advanced talks to combine. Now with that, though, volatility halt typically lasts five minutes. If it's not five, it's 10. So it is 242 right now and still not open. So it really should have been at 241 59. So it looks like there's going to be another five minutes to go on that trade. So basically at like 247 or so 246 and 59 seconds or reopen up. So just keep your eye on time and sales there. Good shout from Steve right away. This just goes on our watch list. Just if this continues down here making lower highs and a break lower, then it's easy to borrow actually as a stock on trade station. You could always buy calls or buy puts on it too. But yeah, definitely going to watch this here, trade it heading into the close. So APLD still hanging here. Let's hop over to the loser side right now. Now let's hop over to it. So that was a great catch from Steve inside our chat board. RMNI. Hey, it's a great catch right now. This thing's really dropping off. I mean, just steady down at the lows. Is this all time lows? No, but close enough. And just either way, we're going to put this on our watch list. RMNI. Nice short normally stocks below five bucks are very hard to borrow if anything. This one just straight up easy to borrow. You don't even have to worry about shares from trade station. TARS not going anywhere really. Sydney saying BANC also moving bank California. Okay, so let's just check in with that. That's just kind of ignorant of me there. Pardon me on that. I should have just looked at that instantly, right? So BANC had a big pop in coordinates with the PacWest drop. So there you go. BANC alongside the PacWest trade. Good catch from Sydney. All right, so we'll check out Spotify, very expensive of course, but it's at the lows it seems like right now. I just see from the daily chart right now, a monthly perhaps, I guess it is. It's not exactly at the intraday lows. If anything, it's like just flat lining. So if you want to play the options on it, you can. The order books very thin given the price. So I would pass on trading the stock, but definitely volatile enough trades enough volume just overall to follow options on it too. This IRBT though on the way down, the penny spread for the meantime here, not really the most liquid book, but it's at the lows. It doesn't hurt us to at least put this IRBT on the main list too as a short. We're holding over 1050 on the APLD folks. So if you're looking for a pop higher, it's not bad. Still holding over support. So there's our PacWest trade right there down over 10% right now. That KOD from yesterday, that thing got crushed. It was down like 50% I think ended up making a small little bounce initially, but then obviously dropped lower here heading into this morning. So back down it is. All right. So folks, that's pretty much it. That's really all I see across the gainers and losers list. Let me know if there's anything else that looks really good across the board, up or down. You heard it says Alkoa, just needs to never mind. We'll take a look at least. Well, it was up 7% just before. So not a bad look here at the time, but he's right. It pulled back a bit and you know, hey, I'll write it down for my side list though as we finish up. All right. So let's check in on the time 245-41. It would be a shame to leave all of us on social media off without seeing the reopening on PacWest here coming up. So well, at least keep it going until 246-59. We'll go another minute here folks. We're all of us on YouTube, Facebook, Live, Insta, et cetera right now. Now, hey, if you're joining us there, I would want to continue the audio commentary with us. Just actually you could scan that QR code with your phone and then we'll take you right to our sign up page for our live trading room. Just a week long trial and just, hey, you can get to join the audio broadcasts that we do throughout the morning, the afternoon, our week workshop and all of the archived recorded versions of that too. But, you know, hey, we look forward to having you there and for you, Hootus, Sidney, Carol, Ryan, Elizabeth, Charles, Jeff, et cetera. Hey, let me know folks. Last call. Last call. We're going to stick on here for another minute just or so. PacWest should be reopening soon, so take a look. Now, if it doesn't reopen up, like really in the next few seconds, one minute or whatnot, then it's a news pending type of halt where it's just going to reopen up at an undisclosed time. You know, they'll eventually list the resumption time, but as of then or as of right now, we wouldn't know. It does say it's halted off a volatility halt. There we go. There's the reopen. All right. There we go. Let's see what the halt print was, Rich. You probably got it before me. That thing is moving too fast. So let's take a look. What's the halt print here on PacWest right now? Looks like 852. About 187,000 shared print that just got filled at 852. That's the halt print, Sid. Right there on book map on level four. So 852 is going to be a pretty prominent level to keep an eye on now as resistance heading into the market closed, but it's got halted again on the way down. Right now it's got halted again. Insta. So it's going to wait another five or so minutes for it to reopen up. You know, just looking at simple chart comparisons here, folks, when PacW got halted down, BANC was moving up, right? So if this just got halted again down, then I would assume that BANC is ready for another push. So that's the case. Looks like it's trending up a little bit here with higher lows, but the order book is overall still kind of thin. You got to be careful on this trade. Wait for more orders to fill in on this book. You got about 10,000 shares here at 1410 that you would want to see hold of support, but we'll see if this can get the push. All right, folks. So hey, for all of us here collectively, hey, Rich will be on the mic beginning at three o'clock in just about 12 or so minutes for all of our students and members alike in Cyber Group. But again, for all of us on social media, if you're interested in joining us, you can go right down to the link on the green banner below, just scrolling at the bottom there. Otherwise, again, I'll just put that QR code up here at the end just for you to sign up, just scan your phone right there. And we look forward to having you. All right, folks. But otherwise, hey, Faust will be back on Monday or not Monday, geez, Faust will be back tomorrow to just kick things off for tomorrow morning. It's morning meeting. Talk to you all.
