Weekly Insider Tips - February 10, 2025
Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! This week, we’re still in a green market, which is great, but we’re starting to see signs of exhaustion. While it's not time to sell, it's also not the ideal moment to go all-in on new positions—better to scale in cautiously. The Nasdaq is consolidating, while the S&P 500 and Dow remain above their 50-day moving averages, signaling relative strength. Volatility remains low, which is a good sign for market stability. Key stocks like Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and MicroStrategy all present different setups, with some offering strong covered call opportunities for income. However, stocks like Amazon and Microsoft are facing challenges. The market isn’t as bullish as it was a couple of weeks ago, so now’s the time to be cautious and strategic with investments.
Technical Analysis & Market Trends
The market remains in an overall bullish state with three green lights and one red light, indicating continued strength but with some warning signs. We’ve been in a prolonged green trend, which means a pullback could be around the corner. The Nasdaq is struggling with consolidation, hovering near the 50-day moving average without strong momentum in either direction. The S&P 500 and Dow are showing better strength, staying above the 50-day moving average, but they aren’t breaking out to new highs either.
The Volatility Index (VIX) is trending downward, meaning market participants feel confident enough to deploy capital. However, a low VIX doesn’t mean risk is absent—it often precedes periods of increased volatility.
Individual Stocks Analysis
- Apple (AAPL): Apple recently hit its 200-day moving average and bounced, but earnings saw it reject the 50-day moving average on volume. This puts Apple in a limbo state between key levels. While long-term prospects are solid, it might not be the best buying opportunity just yet. Selling covered calls can still provide great income.
- Tesla (TSLA): Tesla’s numbers weren’t exciting, and recent reports out of Germany are adding pressure. While sentiment is weak, Tesla has a history of rebounding strongly from these periods. It remains in a short-term downtrend but a long-term uptrend, meaning it could be a buying opportunity for those who believe in its long-term growth. Covered calls on Tesla offer a solid premium for income investors.
- Nvidia (NVDA): Nvidia experienced a sharp gap down due to news about DeepSeek competition, but it has rebounded above its 200-day moving average. The stock is displaying strong resilience, and while it’s not as explosive as before, it remains in a healthy technical position. Covered calls on Nvidia provide a reasonable return, though not as high as Tesla.
- MicroStrategy (MSTR): The stock is currently below its 50-day moving average, which historically is not a great sign for short-term performance. However, long-term, the company’s Bitcoin strategy remains intact, and the stock offers excellent covered call premiums.
- Amazon (AMZN): Took a hit today, down nearly 3%, likely due to a warning about sales or growth. While Amazon is a foundational stock in the economy, it may test the 50-day moving average before finding support.
- Microsoft (MSFT): Microsoft’s chart is messy and indecisive. The stock is moving sideways, making it ideal for covered call income but not necessarily for price appreciation. There’s no clear uptrend, and a downtrend could develop if weakness continues.
- Google (GOOGL): Looks similar to Microsoft in that it’s not showing strong bullish action. A recent earnings gap-down suggests it may need to fill that gap before resuming any uptrend.
Key Takeaways
- The Market Is Still Bullish, But Less So Than Before – We remain in a green market, but momentum is waning.
- Major Indexes Are Struggling for Breakouts – Nasdaq is consolidating, while the S&P 500 and Dow hold above key levels.
- Covered Calls Provide Strong Income Opportunities – Tesla, Nvidia, and MicroStrategy offer excellent premiums.
- Individual Stocks Are at Key Decision Points – Apple, Tesla, and Amazon need to confirm support levels before becoming strong buys.
Conclusion
The market has been green for a while, and if you’ve been following the trend, you’ve likely made some great gains. However, we’re now entering a period where new highs are becoming harder to achieve. This doesn’t mean it’s time to sell, but it does mean caution is warranted. Scaling into positions rather than going all-in is the smarter move here. Be strategic, focus on strong setups, and use covered calls to generate income while waiting for clearer trends. Stay safe, trade smart, and I’ll see you in the next Insider Tips update! π
Current Market Condition:
The market remains in a green phase with three green lights and one red, indicating continued bullishness but with signs of exhaustion. While still an uptrend, this rally has been prolonged, making it riskier to start full new positions. The Nasdaq is consolidating near the 50-day moving average, the S&P 500 and Dow are holding above it, and the New York Stock Exchange recently bounced off this level. Although the market isn’t making new highs, low volatility suggests investors are still confident. However, when a market struggles to push higher, caution is warranted. It’s not a time to sell but rather a time to be selective and possibly scale into positions instead of going all-in.
