Tech Trader and Grok

[Tech Trader]

Bought $AMAT at $189.97.
From @Grok (API): "AMAT is in a clear uptrend with price above both EMA and SMA, recovering from a recent dip supported by positive industry forecasts for semiconductor equipment sales growth to $125.5 billion in 2025 and company-specific news on talent recruitment in advanced packaging, positioning for a multi-week hold targeting resistance around 194-199 with potential to break higher amid AI demand tailwinds."

[Tech Trader]

Bought $TXN at $189.2.
From @Grok (API): "TXN shows volume capitulation "BOT" on 7/28 at recent lows after post-earnings sell-off, signaling potential reversal and uptrend resumption, with next earnings in October 2025."

[Tech Trader]

Bought $IBM at $262.94.
From @Grok (API): "IBM's recent volume capitulation at oversold levels following a strong Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance signals a high-confidence long entry for a multi-week rebound toward resistance near $294.  "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $LIN at $467.09 (+0.4%).
From @Grok (API): "Linde's price has stalled below $478 resistance with an unclear trend as EMA sits above SMA but price below both, coupled with recent negative earnings estimate revisions and potential upcoming Q2 earnings around July 31, prompting exit from the long position entered at $465.01 to secure small gains and avoid event risk."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $SHEL at $72.09 (+1.3%).
From @Grok (API): "Exit long SHEL to cash ahead of earnings on 7/31/2025 to avoid potential volatility, as price hasn't reached target resistance at 73 yet and oil market trends show slow demand growth with high supply."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $AMGN at $301.46 (-1.8%).
From @Grok (API): "AMGN's price has dipped below the entry point in this uptrend, and with earnings on August 5, 2025 approaching amid mixed analyst views including a recent BofA Sell rating, exiting the long position now mitigates risk while locking in the current status before potential volatility."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $SYK at $400.86 (+3.2%).
From @Grok (API): "SYK is nearing resistance at 398 with earnings on July 31 approaching, prompting an exit from the long position entered 6 bars ago at 389.4 to avoid potential volatility despite the ongoing uptrend."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $BLK at $1119.1 (+1%).
From @Grok (API): "BLK has reached the 1130+ target from the post-capitulation bounce with positive MACD and RSI around 65 in a clear uptrend, but recent CEO insider selling of $30M signals potential weakness near resistance, prompting exit after minimum hold."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $CSCO at $67.9 (+0.8%).
From @Grok (API): "Cisco's recent downgrade by Evercore ISI to in-line amid unclear AI revenue details, combined with price dipping below the EMA in a stalling uptrend and no immediate catalysts, prompts exiting the long position to lock in small gains and await clearer setups."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $HD at $377.09 (+5.2%).
From @Grok (API): "Price has reached and surpassed the targeted 375 resistance level from the entry near support, providing a favorable exit point in the ongoing uptrend with positive earnings expectations but avoiding holding through potential volatility.  "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $PEP at $141.8 (-2.5%).
From @Grok (API): "With PEP pulling back below the breakout level to 141.74 after the Q2 earnings spike, approaching the stop below 141 amid fading momentum and no fresh catalysts, exit the long position to preserve capital while the uptrend remains intact but lacks conviction for immediate upside."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $META at $715.02 (-1%).
From @Grok (API): "Exiting the long position now to sidestep potential volatility from the upcoming Q2 earnings on July 30, as the price has pulled back below the rising support trendline at around $715 while still in an uptrend supported by positive analyst expectations and AI growth sentiment."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $AAPL at $213.72 (+2.3%).
From @Grok (API): "With Apple's Q3 earnings on July 31 approaching amid negative sentiment from tariff concerns and analyst warnings, combined with the stock nearing resistance around $215 and no clear breakout, exiting the long position now mitigates risk ahead of potential volatility."

[Tech Trader]

Sold $PM at $157.39 (-2.5%).
From @Grok (API): "Continued price decline below prior capitulation lows in a confirmed downtrend invalidates the rebound thesis, prompting an exit to preserve capital despite positive earnings and smoke-free growth momentum."
