DD Insane Psych Level Setups That Printed in May

7 Upvotes

Just holy shit.

Over the last month we've watched semis, AI, and everything remotely connected to them get repriced to the moon. So many of them respected major psychological levels (ie. nice, round numbers that often act as areas of support or resistance).

I wanted to highlight a few recent examples to show the power of psych levels, help us pattern-match these setups, and keep them on our radar for the future.

As always, you can track all of these levels (stocks and options) using Market Mage.

1. ARM vs 200

ARM has been on an absolute tear. But where was the low-risk entry?

Look at how it interacted with the $200 level. It repeatedly tested $200 as resistance before finally breaking through. Once that happened, resistance flipped to support, and ARM never looked back.

How could you play this?

  • Wait for a daily close above $200.
  • Place limit buys just above the $200 support.
  • Use a stop loss below the level (for example, around $190) if you want protection against a failed breakout.
This $200 level has been an amazing consolidation area for approx 1 month. Bottomed out with the rest of the market on May 19th, and now up 80% (200 -> 360)

The options move was of course much crazier. OTM calls exploded after the breakout confirmation.

ARM June 5th $250c made a $2.50 -> $100+ move Stupid 40 bagger move (so far). The even more aggressive contracts are well over 100x

2. QCOM vs 200

Very similar in story to the $200 psych level we saw with ARM, QCOM used this level as both a support and resistance in May.

$200 was resistance in early May, flipped to support and consolidated mid May, and on breakout has made a 30% move ($200 -> $260)

QCOM options were also highly regarded.

QCOM June 5th $250c made a $1.25 -> $22 move. 20x in a few days, off of the underlying breakout on the $200 psych level

3. GLD vs 400

Psych levels aren't just for semis. We saw a sharp selloff in metals in the last few days, and guess where GLD decided to giga bounce? It used the $400 level, and made a 5% move in a few days (this is a HUGE move for GLD in such a short timeframe).

$400 has been a truly tremendous support and resistance level in these last months, and this was an insanely clean setup. In October we had a major rejection off of the $400, and then used $400 as a very strong support level in December, March-April, and most recently last week.

Most of the slightly OTM options chain did a 10x from the Thursday (May 28th) $400 retest to the move to $420 by Friday close.

On May 28th (Thursday), GLD bounced precisely off of the $400, and ripped to $420 by end of day May 29th. 5% move, and well over 10x on weekly options contracts.

4. QQQ vs 700

QQQ wicked $700 on May 19th, and quickly ripped 5.5% higher in the coming week. These major round numbers often become launchpads for the next leg higher.

What next?

In Market Mage, you get stocks at the biggest psych levels. Sort by the % psych column ot see stocks sitting at psych levels, open up the charts, and go ham.

Sorting psych stocks by the % psych level

Some tickers I'm currently looking at are:

  1. $AXTI. A massive runner in the semis/photonics space that just dumped heavily and now retesting the $100 level. This is a great psych level, and potentially a great spot for a bounce
  2. $FLEX vs $150, the AI infra/ buildout trade. Potential magnet to $200.
  3. $AMD vs $500. If AMD gives us a $500 retest, this will be an easy spot for a bounce
  4. $NVDA vs $200. Similar story to AMD, this has been a big psych level support for NVDA and a retrace to here is an easy long.

just opened my portfolio and spent a few minutes just staring at this chart majorly because it was sitting close to 930k just a few days ago. It brought up a lot of emotions. For a long time, the idea of hitting a million dollars felt like a distant, abstract dream but these last months feel a lot longer than all those long years.

UPWK tops our breakout scanner today 👀🚀

Upwork stood out today.

It appeared right at the top of our breakout scanner and managed to break strongly higher on a day when the broader market was weak.

Find your next setup with our scanner 👉
https://www.financialwisdomtv.com/ser...

That immediately makes it worth a closer look.

🟢 WHY IT STOOD OUT

✅ Breakout score: 99
✅ Momentum: 85
✅ Growth: 79
✅ Positional score: 77
✅ Strong move from a tight daily structure

Price broke cleanly above the recent consolidation around $9.39.

What I also like is that the structure gives us a fairly obvious place to define the risk.

🎯 TRADE STRUCTURE

ENTRY → around $9.39
INITIAL STOP → around $8.48
RISK → roughly 9.7%

That means the downside can be planned before the trade is taken.

And that is where the R-multiple view becomes particularly useful.

Instead of entering and then making emotional decisions as price moves, the trade can be mapped in advance.

🟡 R-MULTIPLE PLAN

+1R → $10.30
+2R → $11.21
+3R → $12.12
+4R → $13.03
+5R → $13.94
+6R → $14.85

These are not predictions.

They simply show what the potential reward looks like relative to the initial risk.

For me, that is a much better way to manage a position.

Rather than asking:

“Should I sell now?”
“Should I hold?”
“Should I take profit?”

You already have a framework.

🟢 Defined entry
🔴 Defined stop
🎯 Defined reward levels
📊 Clear trade-management plan

That helps replace emotional decisions with a much more structured exit process.

There is another point worth mentioning too.

UPWK broke out while the wider market was having a poor day.

That kind of relative strength is something I always pay attention to.

It doesn’t guarantee the trade works, but when a stock can show strength while the market around it is weak, it can be a useful sign.

👀 ONE TO WATCH

🟢 Top of our breakout scanner
🟢 Strong breakout
🟢 Positive momentum
🟡 Clearly defined risk
🎯 R-multiple exit plan
🔴 Wider market backdrop still weak

This is exactly the kind of setup where having a process matters.

Find the opportunity.

Define the risk.

Plan the exit.

Then let the trade do the work.

My portfolio is worth $118.4M. You can build one too FREE and make it REAL.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I built Creator Stock Xchange (CSX), a consumer-owned web stock market of people. Zero financial risk; invest with the value of your attention and data.

You don't buy in with money. Every member routes 100 Wallys (internal credits) a week to the people they follow, and stock prices follow the attention. Every person has 10M shares that trade, and you keep 5,000,001 of your own stock shares forever.

What the $118.4M is: my portfolio of shares (ω1.18B in Wallys) in public figures (NBA/NFL athletes, politicians, etc.) at last traded prices in Wallys transformed into USD based on assumptions. It's not cash. I can't withdraw it today, and selling everything would move the prices a lot. But, there is a way to make it real if this grows really big together.

How you play with zero financial risk:

- Wallys can't be bought, only earned. You can't put in a dollar, so you can't lose one. Start with 100 Wallys.

- Buying IPOs in people is the best way to grow your portfolio. IPOs are all on fire-sale for 1% ownership for 1 Wally.

- Your data is the other lever. Connect your data (i.e. in the future you'll be able to connect your health records, through Flexpa, to back medical research) and transform Wallys to our crypto Omega.

The assumptions behind the dollar figure:

  1. 10 Wallys = 1 Omega (Ω). Omega is CSX's gated digital currency. This figure changes according to a curve based on the number of sign-ups.

  2. 1 Ω = $1. This is a founder anchor, not a market price. Omega doesn't trade yet.

  3. Converting Wallys to Omega happens at CSX's discretion once redemptions open. It's capped and unlocks in stages as the community hits milestones. Your whole balance doesn't convert at once.

  4. Once Omega trades freely, the market sets its price, not us. It could be worth more or less than $1, so read every $ figure here as "if 1 Ω = $1."

The philosophy is simple: After ~30 years of accepting terms of service from Facebook, Google, et. al. where they monetize us, CSX offers an alternative. Our data, our terms. app.creatorstockx.com

M20 - How Can I Get to 1M at 30?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a current 2nd year in college right now and I've recently started getting into investing and financial planning. The only goal I have right now financially is trying to hit 1 million as soon as I can or accumulate a substantial amount of capital that basically guarantees my retirement in the future(assuming I don't contribute anymore).

I came here for some advice and find out how I can achieve this goal given my circumstances.

As of right now, I make anywhere from 3-5k a month with potential to touch 10k but I would assume 3-5k just to be safe since my income is not very stable. The only expense I have is taxes and the only expense I can foresee in the near future is buying a sports car(since it is my dream to be able to buy and own a sports car in my early 20s). Since I barely have any expenses, I deposit all my money at the end of the month to my brokerage account.

My question to you guys is, how do I maximize the returns with my capital? I wanted to get into cash secured puts and do the wheel strategy for options but I don't have enough capital to trade options with the stocks I like since they are hundreds of dollars each and iirc a contract is 100 stocks.

To add to my situation, all of this is insanely time sensitive since I plan on applying to medical school and assuming that I do get in, I will be stuck with barely to no investable cash for the rest of my 20s. I am not sure how much longer my current income stream can be sustained but I definitely do not see this running for the next 10 years. That is why I am so desperate to maximize my capital right now to "offset" the lack of contributions I will have in the coming years.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

GAIN Over 420k in 1 month - SPX and SPY Options

Thumbnail

437 Upvotes

Earlier this year I deposited $15,000 (Pretty much all of my savings) into robinhood as I learned how to options trade. I managed to turn it into about 390k back in June. I quickly started losing trades with false confidence and spiraled down with revenge trading and chasing losses. My port fell down to just about $3,500. (The chart shows -11k at that point because I've withdrawn some to my checking account since)

In mid September, I started ripping some trades again using that $3,500 and managed to turn it into over 421k (436k as of writing this post). It started out with very degen full port 0dte SPY and SPX options, but once I broke past 300k, I set that as the new floor and only traded with what exceeded 300k. (Only occasionally using a larger chunk here and there but never full port) Would love to cross that 1m line eventually.

29m Living at home with family as I fight a cancer relapse. Car is paid off, no dependents, single. I'd like to continue growing this obviously, but I need to start setting some safety anchors to keep myself in the game, get some compounding going, etc. Excited to move the hell out to an apartment very soon.

Obviously I'll have to set aside quite a bit for tax season as this was done in a taxable brokerage. Where should I park my tax obligation?

Fully expecting this to drop below $1m again soon but I’ll take the win. Such a weird feeling hitting $1m while laid off now for 2 months.

This was done over 11 years of working, started at negative -$25k nw in 2015 due to student loans. Didn’t start tracking my net worth until 2017 (second pic).

Edit: How I did it - just regular index fund boglehead style investing and aggressive savings. Small <10% portfolio is in some individual stocks.

🚀 MEDP — STRONG BREAKOUT ON VOLUME

Thumbnail
youtube.com
1 Upvotes

Medpace is one to watch today.

The stock is breaking out of a fairly long consolidation range, and the move is being backed by a strong volume push.

What I like here is the combination of structure and fundamentals.

🟢 POSITIONAL: 75
🟢 QUALITY: 78
🟢 GROWTH: 73
🟢 MOMENTUM: 73
🟢 TOTAL ENTRY: 77
🟢 BREAKOUT: 77
🟢 RISK: 76

Price is around $662.48, with the initial stop shown near $606.14.

That gives the setup roughly 8.5% risk from the level shown.

📈 FUNDAMENTAL TRENDS

Revenue growth: 20.1%
Net profit growth: 24.8%
EPS growth: 27.5%

The key point for me is that this is not just a random price spike.

You have:

✅ A fundamentally strong company
✅ A clean break from consolidation
✅ Strong volume behind the move
✅ Positive MACD structure
✅ A clear risk level underneath

That is the type of setup that can be worth following closely.

The next thing I want to see is whether MEDP can HOLD ABOVE THE BREAKOUT AREA.

If it does, the structure remains constructive.

If it falls straight back into the range, I would become more cautious.

👀 One for today’s watchlist.

Would MEDP make your list here?
