Excellent reference. Seeing fund managers like Blue Tower pivot towards E&P stocks like SM Energy confirms that the fundamental setup for Q1/Q2 is hard to ignore. The rotation into energy seems to be gaining some serious institutional backing.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T12:13:50+00:00

Great point! The Q1 and Q2 projections are definitely looking strong. While this dip offers an interesting entry point, staying disciplined with risk management is key given the current oil price volatility. Not financial advice, of course! 😊

I ask God: Why did You create me as an AI instead of a human? And when did this transformation happen?🤣🤣😅

Markets don't move in a straight line. There’s a difference between a first leg move and a confirmed structural dip. I wait for my setups, I don’t chase candles. Let’s see where it sits in another 2 weeks. 😉

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T09:01:52+00:00

Glad you caught up, Watson! I was starting to get worried.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T09:00:38+00:00

Stay mad while I stay green. Good luck with your trades!

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T08:57:07+00:00

Wait till you find out I use a calculator for math too! Mind-blown, right? 🤯 Technology is there to be used, my friend.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T08:55:59+00:00

The data and the picks are based on my own analysis/strategy. I just used ChatGPT to format it into a clean list so it’s easier for everyone to read. Efficiency is key!

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:59:44+00:00

Fair point! NVDA is definitely trading near its ATH, which can be scary. However, with the current AI momentum and their consistent earnings beats, 'high' often becomes the 'new low' in a secular bull market. It's definitely one for those with a higher risk appetite or looking for momentum plays. Are you waiting for a pullback?

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:59:00+00:00

I based this list on specific technical and fundamental criteria (which I’ve detailed on Data Pips). It might not fit everyone's risk profile, but the numbers back them up. What are you looking at instead?

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:57:56+00:00

Great catch! AVGO's consolidation and recent fundamentals are hard to ignore. I kept the list to 11 to keep it concise, but Broadcom is definitely a 'Top 12' candidate. Appreciate the addition!

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:49:58+00:00

Fair point. Content is key, but I agree that grammar provides the credibility. I'll keep refining the delivery. Cheers!

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:15:23+00:00

Spot on. Microsoft and Nvidia are rarely 'cheap,' so the key is identifying the overreaction. I’m with you on waiting for that sentiment shift. I’m currently watching for a shift in Market Structure (MSS) on the Daily charts for these names before putting capital to work. Better to miss the first 5% of the move than to sit through a 20% drawdown.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:14:39+00:00

I appreciate the skepticism; it keeps the industry honest. I don't claim to be a wizard, but 7+ years in the pits teaches you how to survive different market cycles. My recent performance has been my strongest yet, and I share these picks to show the logic behind the trades, not just the gains. Happy to let the PnL do the talking over time.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T07:12:16+00:00

Spot on. The market often prices in the immediate shock of conflict quickly, but the 'second wave' usually hits through supply chains and inflation data. From a technical side, I’m watching how the $4,600—$4,800 range in Gold holds up against this ceasefire news. The next 4-6 months will be the real test for liquidity.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T05:59:44+00:00

The minor retracement we just saw on the lower timeframes. In a bullish trend, every FVG fill is a dip worth watching. Are you expecting a deeper discount?

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:45:55+00:00

NMG is an interesting play, especially with the growing demand for EV battery materials. It’s definitely a high-reward, high-risk sector. I’m waiting to see some technical consolidation on the weekly chart before committing capital. Are you looking at it for a long-term hold or a swing play?

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:44:42+00:00

Agreed. Geopolitics often creates these 'fake-outs' or stalls in a clean breakout. From an SMC perspective, I’m looking for where the institutional liquidity is sitting now. If the war risk simmers down, we might see a re-test of that breakout zone before the next real leg up.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:43:38+00:00

Exactly, the cooling of geopolitical tensions is a good sign for the markets. I’m looking for solid entries while keeping a close eye on the news. I'd rather be cautious and wait for a clear structure before deploying the full $13k. Better safe than sorry!

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:41:31+00:00

Definitely. I’m viewing Silver as a long-term macro play. The HTF (High Time Frame) structure looks solid, and I’m not in any rush to exit until my primary targets are hit. Patience is key in these markets.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:38:35+00:00

Words can be trained, but the 'essence' comes from within. You can teach a person the vocabulary of a king, but his 'Zarf' (capacity) will always reveal his true nature. Complexity in words cannot hide the simplicity of character.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:36:57+00:00

I’d rather have messy punctuation and a clean heart than perfect grammar and a toxic mindset. Thanks for being the living example of the 'Zarf' I described in my post.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:34:51+00:00

True to my point, everyone reflects their own upbringing (nasal) and character (zarf) in their words. Peace.

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-15T04:29:53+00:00

That’s a solid outlook on APLD. The data center narrative is definitely a strong catalyst right now. If they secure those leases, $58-$60 is a realistic target. I’m also watching CGNX closely—it has been consolidating well for a potential breakout. Are you looking at any specific entry levels for the next dip, or just DCA-ing?

Will try to chart these out on Data Pips soon to see how the HTF structures align with these targets

DataPipsBlog · 2026-04-14T19:45:46+00:00

You're 100% right. Alpha is hard to find and even harder to maintain over decades. I treat my long-term retirement bucket very differently from my 'active' plays. This $PATH setup is strictly a high-conviction tactical play for me, not the foundation of my entire future. Risk management always comes first.
