T2118
This week, the T2118 indicator experienced a significant decline, dropping sharply from 90.00 to 76.29 in just one week. This substantial decrease coincided with the VIX ramping back up over 20.00, signaling increased market volatility ahead. We'll be closely monitoring next week's developments, as additional volatility typically doesn't align well with our trading style and risk management approach.
During this volatile period, we attempted to add several new positions to our portfolio. While two positions survived and are performing adequately, we made a notable trading error that serves as an important lesson in discipline and strategy execution.
Our significant mistake was opening the LEU position on May 21st. When we observed the stock failing its breakout pattern, we closed the position manually rather than waiting for our predetermined stop loss to trigger. Ironically, just two days later, the US government made a nuclear announcement that drove LEU up approximately 25%; a move we completely missed.
Was this truly a mistake? From a process standpoint, we failed to follow our trading plan. However, our decision was driven by broader market conditions that weren't favorable, and we prioritized capital preservation. In hindsight, a better approach might have been to close half the position manually while allowing the remaining half to hit our stop loss, maintaining some exposure while still managing risk.
Red line: stop loss - White arrow: opening position
Trading involves both fortunate and unfortunate timing. While we missed the LEU opportunity, we successfully capitalized on COIN's S&P 500 inclusion announcement several weeks ago, demonstrating that these situations tend to balance out over time.
On a positive note, we successfully added LASR and STNE to our portfolio, both of which are performing well, one showing solid profits and the other near breakeven.

T2108
The T2108 indicator finally started to pull back this week, declining to 53.26 - essentially returning to the same level we observed one week ago. The indicator has also begun dipping below the 10-day exponential moving average, suggesting a potential shift in momentum. While the market is closed on May 26th, futures trading showed a significant gap up across the major indexes, indicating this pullback may have been merely a temporary dip before resuming the upward climb next week.
Given the upcoming earnings releases and economic calendar events highlighted in our previous article, we should prepare for a week of heightened volatility ahead.
The 4% Bull-Bear Indicator painted a clear picture of last week's market action - a down week characterized by significant choppiness. Neither bulls nor bears maintained full control throughout the period, with only one session showing bears winning the battle decisively. However, this isolated occurrence wasn't particularly noteworthy given the overall indecisive nature of the week's trading.
The 25% Bull-Bear Indicator provides a more comprehensive perspective on the current market situation. While we experienced a choppy and slightly negative week, the bulls have remained remarkably resilient and continue to maintain full control over the longer-term trend. This resilience is an encouraging sign for the weeks ahead, suggesting that despite short-term volatility, the underlying bullish sentiment remains intact.

ALAB: Astera Labs Inc 📊
What they do: High-performance connectivity solutions for data centers and AI infrastructure
Why watch? 🔌 The stock has completed a substantial cup formation that began in March 2025 and is now forming the handle between $89.00 support and $96.00 resistance. A few more days of consolidation would be ideal, but we're approaching a potential breakout. The technical setup suggests an upside move is imminent.
NET: Cloudflare Inc 🛡️
What they do: Cloud-based web performance and security services
Why watch? ☁️ Similar to ALAB but with a different formation shape, NET displays a large cup with a handle pattern. The stock shows a series of higher lows with $160.00 as the clear resistance level to break. The pattern suggests strong underlying accumulation.
TTD: The Trade Desk Inc 📊
What they do: Digital advertising technology platform
Why watch? 🛒 Following a 40% post-earnings surge, TTD is pulling back on exceptionally low volume with the 10EMA providing support. Volume over the past two weeks has remained below the 50-day moving average, indicating minimal selling pressure. Above $75.00, we could see a second leg higher.
DLO: dLocal Limited 📊
What they do: Cross-border payment solutions for emerging markets
Why watch? 💳After a period of relative neglect since 2024, dLocal captured market attention with a stellar recent earnings report, causing the stock to gap up nearly 30%. The company announced record highs across key financial and operational metrics, including revenue, gross profit, and strong cash flow. The stock is now consolidating this significant gain on diminished volume, and the lower boundary of the earnings gap (a key technical level) has been successfully defended. A decisive breakout above the $11.75-$12.00 area is now the catalyst needed for continuation.

FLD: Fold Holdings Inc ⚠️
What they do: Banking and credit card services
Why watch? ₿ Unique proposition: enabling consumers to earn Bitcoin rewards on their spending. Strategically, the company is also emulating MicroStrategy's approach by accumulating Bitcoin on its balance sheet, currently holding 1,485 BTC.
Amidst a recent surge in Bitcoin treasury-related equities, Fold Holdings presents an intriguing, albeit speculative, opportunity. With a market capitalization around $200 million and approximately $150 million of that backed by its Bitcoin holdings, the company is largely a "story stock" at this juncture. However, its relatively undiscovered status could position it for a significant short-term run, mirroring the performance of other Bitcoin-centric stocks, should the theme continue to gain traction.
