Stocks & Technicals

This session covered several key stocks, with Brian offering actionable, chart-based analysis throughout.

• FTAI Aviation: Fresh off strong earnings, Brian explained his trade setup: watching momentum after a price gap, moving averages, entry close to $138, and targeting $160. His technical process prioritized trend and stop management.
• IPO Opportunities (Circle, OMDA, WYFI, ARX): Discussion centered on initial hype moves, deep pullbacks, and using IPO levels as trade markers. Brian favors stocks backed by reputable banks and seeks well-structured technical entries.
• Berkshire Hathaway: With Buffett stepping down, Brian and Sean highlighted nervous investor sentiment. They discussed post-announcement support, moving averages, and the importance of waiting for technical improvements before acting.
• BigBear AI: One of the day’s worst earnings reports triggered volatility. Brian flagged the risk of chasing oversold bounces, emphasized resistance zones, and warned that fundamentals remain a concern.

Crypto dominated part of the stream due to viewer interest and market relevance.

• Main Coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana were front and center. Brian prefers holding actual coins over trust vehicles, citing temporary outperformance due to hype but expecting normalization.
• Trust Hype: Each new crypto trust/ETF creates temporary buying frenzies, especially with coins like Solana and XRP. The team joked about launching their own fund, but reminded traders to expect swift, volatile moves when trusts launch.
• Trade Focus: Brian’s biggest crypto holdings are XRP and Solana, with smaller amounts in Bitcoin/Ethereum. He is watching for trust announcements that might ignite fresh rallies.

Sean closed out by asking for Brian’s top picks.
