    • Silver: down ~6%

    • Despite the selloff, it’s characterized as a “healthy pullback” within an existing uptrend.
    • Price is described as pulling toward the 180 moving average (4-hour chart) for SPY and the Q’s.

Explicit Investing Ideas / Recommendations (Tactical)

General approach

  • Treat these as trades intended to get in and out over the next couple of weeks (especially around the SpaceX IPO), not long-term “buy and hold.”
  • Use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) / staged entries for high-volatility names.
  • Caution: “Falling knife” / sector hype risk
    • Space stocks may be overvalued
    • There could be a sharp pullback after IPO hype fades (possibly weeks to a couple months)
    • Emphasis on being nimble and avoiding getting “caught holding bags.”

Space / Space-Sector Momentum Play (Sector Beta)

Theme: “SpaceX IPO”

  • Expected to create bullish sentiment for the space sector.

Tealment / ETF idea

  • NASA — Teucrium Space Innovators ETF
    • Said to have ~6% to 10% allocation to SpaceX (pre-IPO)
    • Referenced move: ~$46 to ~$33 (about -26% over the past two weeksish)
    • Recommendation: consider as a buy-the-dip opportunity within a momentum trade, not as a long-term investment.

Individual space stocks (trade ideas)

  • RDW — Redwire
    • Down ~10% on the day
    • Entry zones discussed: high teens / mid-to-high teens
      • Mentions missing $18, seeing ~$22, then ~$19
  • ASTS — (referred to as “AS”)
    • Back under $100
    • Down ~8.5%, near the 180 moving average (4-hour)
    • Framed as another potential add during short-term weakness

Stock-Specific Picks (Dip-Buy Candidates)

1) MU — Micron Technology

  • Framing: “decent buy” / “great buy” if memory/AI chip momentum continues.
  • Price / drawdown references:
    • Trading around ~$9.30
    • Mentioned as down ~56% (context suggests from a higher prior level)
  • Technical levels mentioned:
    • Claimed to have taken out the 50 moving average around ~$9.70–$9.80
    • Possible downside “window” discussed: ~$7.50–$8.00 (not expected, but identified as a potential destination)
    • Suggested more favorable entry zone: ~$8.50–$9.00 (“great buy within the breakout”)
  • Prior pullback example:
    • “Last time” (mid-May): about $8.20 down to ~$6.50 (roughly ~20% drawdown)
  • Earnings timeline:
    • Earnings in less than 3 weeks, specifically June 24 (aftermarket earnings noted)
  • Upside framing:
    • Mentions bullish targets (references ~$13.50 / $16.00; exact formatting unclear), calling MU a “buy all day” on dips.

2) LRCX — Lam Research

  • Mentioned as potentially adding more.
  • Down about ~4–5% on the day
  • Chart described as still looking great

3) HOOD — Robinhood

  • Down about ~4% on the day
  • Critical support highlighted around ~$80–$82

4) C — Circle Internet Group

  • If it falls further, buying considered.
  • Currently “back to ~$80” and described as free-falling
  • Buy interest level: ~$60 to $70
  • Claimed historical behavior:
    • Rallied from ~$60–$80 toward ~$130–$140 after pumps
  • Risk/reward improved in $60–$80 (per the view), tied to a weak crypto tape.

Methodology / Framework (Step-by-Step)

  • Top-down market read:

    • Check indices and volatility (S&P/Dow/NASDAQ/Russell, VIX)
    • Determine if pullback is “healthy”
    • Look for price approaching key technical areas like the 180 moving average (4-hour)

  • Trade selection:

    • Focus on names tied to:
      • AI / memory / semis
      • the SpaceX IPO theme

  • Entry tactic:

    • Buy pullbacks toward moving averages/support (e.g., MU’s 50 MA break)
    • Use DCA if “falling knife” conditions persist

  • Time horizon management:

    • For space names/ETFs: aim to trade into/out of the IPO window over weeks
    • Re-evaluate after IPO hype cools (weeks to a couple months) anticipating a possible sector drawdown
