Target Achieved: Last Week's Successful Trades
Last week, Tesla (TSLA) experienced a remarkable surge, climbing from $240 to $325 and achieving all predefined targets within a single week. This impressive 35.4% increase was largely driven by the market's reaction to Donald Trump's election victory, which investors interpreted as favorable for the automotive and technology sectors. The trade setup capitalized on key support levels around $240, with momentum accelerating as TSLA surpassed critical resistance points, leading to a highly profitable outcome. Most of our members snagged $300 January call options on Tesla at $5.30 and watched them soar, flipping them for over $35—a more than sixfold return!
NVIDIA's stock rose from $137.31 on November 5 to $147.63 by November 8, marking a 7.5% increase.
Coinbase's stock saw a substantial increase, climbing from $180 to $273.50, resulting in an impressive 51.9% gain.

Technical Analysis
SPX Analysis:
Key Levels: 6009 & 5870
Unless 6009 is overcome, a reset likely takes place with a small pullback to reset overbought indicators. Bulls should look for failed breakdowns of key levels to re-enter longs. Bears could use 6009 as a LIS and attempt a short back to 5870 area.
Bullish Trajectory: A failed breakdown of 5870 would be an ideal relong. Alternatively, a high-risk chase long if it gaps over 6009 is another possibility.
Bear Trajectory: A short close to 6009 using a tight stop just a few ticks above 6009 could work as it would be a low-risk setup with the stop being so close. Would want to see a retest of this blue box below.
Summary:
Bulls in clear control above 5782 as it had a breakaway gap with 3 consecutive gap ups. Bulls need to avoid filling that gap next week to keep the momentum going. Things can unravel rapidly if it were to fall below 5763.
IWM 0.00%↑
The election triggered a decisive breakout on the weekly chart, breaking through a multi-year trendline. For bulls to maintain momentum toward new all-time highs, it’s essential to hold above 232. A revisit to 216 would signal a failed breakout, potentially undermining the structure and shifting momentum away from the bulls.
