$META drops $10B on a Canada data center: $META is investing $10B to build its first data center in Canada. Doesn't look much like a company second-guessing their capex. The pullback narrative for chip suppliers may be overdone.

Iran wants a deal. Bear trap thesis alive.: Trump says Iran called wanting to reach a deal, and despite the war headlines, there's scope for the bear trap argument here. The taco chart is working again. Stay nimble.

$PENG hits ATH, strong earnings volume. PEG setup in play.: $PENG hit a new ATH and yesterday's earnings reaction came on strong volume, closing at the high of the body. That's a potential PEG setup. Look for continuation and weekly breakout confirmation before adding.

$DOCN: record Q2 expected, chart looks clean: $DOCN expects record Q2 2026 results, driven by multiple nine-figure annual customer commitments. Chart is offering a clean low-risk stop. Execution has been excellent and price hasn't fully caught up.

Power grid and AI servers: two more institutional bull cases: BofA is bullish on the power grid thematic, reiterating 100+ GW of electricity generation shortfall through 2026-2030. Nomura separately upgraded global AI server revenue growth for 2027, flagging shortages going beyond memory and CPUs. Both say the AI infrastructure trade isn't done.

chart

$NBIS co-founder at RAISE: AI growth mostly still ahead: Amid the $NBIS FUD, the co-founder spoke at the RAISE summit today: AI adoption is still taking off and most use cases are still maturing. If you believe the business, this is noise, not signal.

BofA raises hyperscaler CAPEX. Semis still the call.: BofA just upgraded CAPEX guidance for the big three hyperscalers, and their own chart makes the read-through pretty clear: semis are the primary beneficiary. If institutional desks are upgrading the capex story here, that's more tailwind for the theme, not a reason to fade $SMH exposure.

DeepSeek closing the gap. BoFA says it's a compute tailwind.: Chinese open weight models like DeepSeek catching up to US frontier labs, and BoFA's read is that it's a tailwind for compute, memory, and power infrastructure, not a demand killer. More models training and running in the wild means more of all three. If that thesis holds, memory and infra names may be the quiet winners here.

$AEHR gets another follow-on from the SiPho customer: $AEHR just landed another follow-on order for its Wafer Level Burn-In system from the same lead silicon photonics customer. Recurring orders from your anchor customer is exactly the compounding this bull case needed. We're watching.

CME single stock futures go live July 27. Know what's on the list.: CME launches single stock futures on July 27, opening 24/7 trading with more leverage and less friction on the eligible names. If any of those tickers overlap with positions you're running covered calls on, the overnight risk profile shifts. Worth knowing who made the list before it goes live.

$SMH/$IGV ratio isn't showing a semis breakdown: The $SMH/$IGV ratio at the weekly level isn't reading like a breakdown. If this were a real rotation out of chips and into software, you'd expect to see it there first. We're not seeing it yet. Noise vs. trend: the weekly structure says trend is still intact.

chart

War headlines escalating. Market's fading them. For now.: US struck a railway bridge on Iran's northern corridor and equities barely flinched. Market has been consistently fading the geopolitical noise, and that's a bullish tell. But the headlines keep getting bigger, so worth keeping one eye on it.

SPY 745/746 is the line. Tape has faded.: SPY 746/745 is the level to watch right now. QQQ's been sloppy since open, SPX tried a bounce and faded. Dealers rebuilt the book through the Iran noise, so the setup could still turn supportive if 745 holds. Lose it and we're probably testing the lower node.

chart

$NBIS rejected from the emas. Capex story isn't over.: $NBIS just got rejected from the emas and turned red on the day. The market's telling you the capex overhang hasn't been fully repriced yet.

$SMH building structure above the emas. Weekly close is the vote.: Strong action across memory today with $SMH putting in genuine structure above the emas. Promising. Weekly close is the real tell — hold here into Friday and the bounce has legs.
