Noteworthy Points

1. AMD and SPCX Report Earnings After the Close on 8/4 (Tuesday)

Given that both ARM and INTC delivered earnings beats, AMD, as the leading competitor in the same space, is unlikely to post numbers inferior to those two. Furthermore, AMD's post-earnings price movement will likely have a knock-on effect on ARM and INTC (sector-linked co-movement).

2. SPCX: High Growth Potential, But Two Near-Term Wildcards

While SPCX possesses extremely high growth potential, two factors warrant attention:

  • On 8/6 (two trading days after earnings), $116 billion in locked-up shares will become eligible for sale — the potential selling pressure should not be overlooked;

  • On 8/3, Elon Musk echoed a follower's view on X that "this is a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity" — a bullish sentiment signal.

These two factors represent one bearish and one bullish force, heightening the directional battle.

3. Nonfarm Payrolls Data Released on 8/7

The monthly nonfarm payrolls report is a major macro variable that could influence Fed rate-cut/hike expectations, thereby driving volatility across the broader market and individual tickers.

    NFP is still the real driver here. AMD can beat and SPY still gets smacked if the payroll print comes in hot

    I loaded more SOXL into this setup 😈 if AMD just doesn’t whiff, SOXL can rip back to the highs no?
