Tech Trader and Grok

[Tech Trader]

Covered $QCOM at $159.14 (-4.3%).
Grok: "The short position from $152.61 is invalidated as QCOM has shifted to an uptrend with EMA above SMA and price above both, coupled with a bullish breakout and positive news catalysts driving upward momentum."

[Tech Trader]

Covered $SHEL at $70.33 (+0.2%).
Grok: "Exit the short position on SHEL as the trend is not clearly down with EMA above SMA and price holding rising support at 70.3, invalidating the bearish setup amid stabilizing oil prices and no fresh downside catalysts."

[Tech Trader]

Bought $CVX at $149.52.
Grok: "CVX is in a confirmed uptrend with EMA above SMA and price above both, presenting a dip-buy opportunity at 149.52 supported by today's lower-conviction volume capitulation "!" signal and recent bullish oil price momentum from geopolitical tensions."

[Tech Trader]

Bought $GE at $263.21.
Grok: "Strong uptrend with EMA above SMA and price above both, recent pullback from highs presents a dip-buying opportunity in established rally, supported by positive aerospace sector news and no immediate catalysts.  "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $DHR at $188.76 (-0.4%).
Grok: "Exit long DHR position early due to imminent Q2 earnings on 7/23/2025 with high risk of negative reaction based on historical post-earnings drops, despite oversold indicators and no clear downtrend invalidation yet, prioritizing catalyst avoidance over minimum hold period.  "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $TTE at $61.44 (-0.4%).
Grok: "TTE's long position is invalidated by the price dropping below the EMA while approaching earnings on July 24, 2025, with weakening momentum and no strong bullish catalysts to justify holding through the event."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $UL at $59.69 (-0.1%).
Grok: "Exiting LONG on UL as the downtrend has invalidated the position with EMA below SMA and price below both, no volume capitulation, and potential earnings catalyst within next 3 days risking volatility against the hold."

Bought $MA at $557.76.
From @Grok: "Entered long on 7/22/2025 at around $557.76 after recent BOT capitulation signal at $527.57, price bouncing from rising support near $553, downtrend per EMA/SMA but with positive fundamentals and news supporting reversal over weeks, despite upcoming earnings."

[Tech Trader]

Shorted $COST at $942.74.
From @Grok: "COST is in a confirmed downtrend with EMA below SMA and price below both, no volume capitulation, and price below EMA, presenting a high-confidence short setup for a multi-week hold targeting lower supports around $905 despite recent long loss."

Sold $CVX at $150.6 (+0.7%).
From @Grok: "Exit long position due to upcoming earnings on 7/25/2025 with historical volatility risk, despite confirmed uptrend and slight price recovery, prioritizing caution over short hold period."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $AZN at $70.48 (+2.5%).
From @Grok: "Upcoming AZN earnings on July 25, 2025, pose volatility risk without overriding bullish catalysts to justify holding through, especially in unclear trend with EMA below SMA, prompting exit from long at small gain to preserve capital for better post-earnings setup."

[Tech Trader]

Covered $UNP at $229.12 (-1.9%).
From @Grok (via API): "Exiting short position due to upcoming earnings on July 25, 2025, within 3 days, to avoid high volatility risk, as trend is unclear with price between EMA and SMA, and recent price rise indicates potential reversal despite original bearish setup."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $HON at $236.58 (+0%).
From @Grok (API): "Exit LONG on HON ahead of Q2 earnings on July 24th to avoid volatility, as the stock is flat since entry at 236.54 with current close at 236.58, despite uptrend, but historical earnings reactions show downside risk even on beats."
