Blink fans OCBC trade how I made $30 in less than 2 hours . The 2026 ETF Masterclass: Building Smarter Portfolios
My recent trade on OCBC Bank (039) reflects a short-term, tactical approach based on intraday price action and resistance levels. I sold my position at 22.50, which turned out to be the day’s high, and later bought it back at 22.20. This trade was based on my expectation that the stock would open strong but face selling pressure by mid-morning. My next plan is to sell again closer to 23.00 if the stock retests higher resistance levels in the future. To begin with, OCBC has been in a clear uptrend over the past few months. The chart shows a consistent pattern of higher highs an
Options puppy Intel in focus : why hardware may be a better bet The 2026 ETF Masterclass: Building Smarter Portfolios
⸻ 📈 Why Hardware May Be the Better Bet Now With Intel rallying on AI optimism and geopolitical tailwinds, the bigger question is whether this move is sustainable. Right now, hardware companies may actually offer a stronger investment case than pure hype-driven plays. Unlike many speculative AI names, hardware companies produce tangible products — chips, servers, infrastructure — that are already seeing real demand. AI isn’t just a concept anymore; it requires massive compute power, and that directly benefits semiconductor and hardware players like Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. This creates a key advantage: revenue visibility. Hardware demand is tied to real spending cycles from enterprises, governments, and cloud providers — not just future expectations. ⸻ 💰 Why Positive Earnings Matte

Retail Investors Unconvinced: A Mass Exodus Amid Ceasefire Optimism
1. Retail investors are rewriting their own story Over the past year, U.S. retail investors have followed a virtually unchanging rule of thumb: buy on dips. However, the latest Retail Radar report released by JPMorgan on April 8 reveals a fundamental shift—retail investors have switched from a "buy on dips" strategy to a defensive stance of "sell on rallies and wait on dips". This is not a one-day anomaly, but a new behavioral pattern that has solidified over the past month. On a "bullish" trading day when oil prices recorded their largest single-day drop since 2020 and the VIX fell below 20, retail capital inflows not only failed to increase but remained at extremely low levels throughout the day—overall activity was at just the 1.2th percentile of the past year. A group that once reflexi
$eLong Power Holding Ltd(ELPW)$ Surged +44.23%: Extreme Volatility & Short Squeeze Risk at $2.25 Latest Close Data Closed at $2.25 (USD) on 2026-04-08, up +44.23% (+$0.69). It is trading -99.98% below its 52-week high of $10,336.00. Core Market Drivers The stock experienced extreme intraday volatility, with a range of $1.38 to $3.02 (amplitude: 105.13%). The massive volume (29.87M shares, turnover rate 2107.72%) and a recent spike in short volume ratio (e.g., 286.41% on 03-11) suggest a potential short squeeze or intense speculative activity is the primary driver behind the surge. Technical Analysis Volume exploded to 228.47x its average, confirming intense interest. The 6-day RSI (46.49) jumped from oversold levels but remains neutral, while
