Upcoming Earnings
Last week was a quiet week. Likewise, this week I have no portfolio companies reporting but there are some notable companies reporting such as Oracle, Adobe, Broadcom and Costco. Below is the infographic by Earnings Whispers:
Charts
SPX
Currently trades at 6870.40, 1.87% above a rising 50SMA and 10.9% above 200SMA.
RSI 59.79
17.07% YTD
Distribution days in the last week: 0
The SPX was green 4 days in a row to end the week. It remains above both the EMA 21 and the SMA 50.
COMPQ
Currently trades at 23,578.13, 2.38% above a rising 50SMA and 15.58% above 200SMA.
RSI 59.42
21.29% YTD
Distribution days in the last week: 0
Like the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite was green 4 days in a row to end the week. It remains above both the EMA 21 and the SMA 50.
BTC (currently Long)
Currently trades at $89,863.38, 9.34% below the 50SMA and 17.7% below the 200SMA.
RSI 43.46
-4.9% YTD.
BTC has continued to perform poorly since the liquidation event on October 10th and recently printed a death cross. It has been making higher highs and higher lows but it remains firmly below all key moving averages.
The BTC chart requires significant work to look constructive again. Previous bottoms have typically featured a large green candle and a small retest, followed by a subsequent move up. For now, bulls would like to see continued higher highs and higher lows.
BABA (currently Long)
Currently trades at $158.32, 5.51% below the 50SMA and 17.16% above the 200SMA.
RSI 46.56
+86.37% YTD
BABA reported earnings last week and since then seems to be basing in the low 150’s. I will be looking to see if it can hold the $145 support level, below that the SMA 200 and the AVWAP from ATH which has more more recently served as support. The AVWAP sits at 120.53
META (currently Long)
Currently trades at $673.42, 0.29% below the 50SMA and 0.37% above the 200SMA.
RSI 59.85
+12.38% YTD
META sold off sharply post-earnings and actually reached more oversold levels than the April low. It has since started to turn a little, bouncing roughly 16% from the recent lows. There was news this week that Meta is looking to cut 30% of the Metaverse spend within Reality Labs. This could be a catalyst to turn the stock around.
META needs to reclaim the SMA 200 and then a logical upside target is the gap fill to $743. Note the 5EMA has ticked above the EMA 21 which is constructive.
IREN
Currently trades at 44.71, 18.76% below a rising 50SMA and 83.3% above the 200SMA.
RSI 43.1
327.44% YTD
IREN was down 3.4% for the week likely due to the news that they are selling shares to buy back debt. Alongside the share sale expected to close on December 8, 2025, they simultaneously announced a private offering of $2 billion in new low interest, convertible senior notes not due until 2032 and 2033.
IREN bulls would like it to reclaim the EMA 21 and the SMA 50 with conviction before can feel good about a resumed uptrend. I would say Bears remain firmly in charge, for now.
