🧠📈 Historical Pattern Trading Signals a 2026 Regime Shift, Why $ONDS, $RIVN and $SMR Are Repeating Early-Cycle Breakout Structures Under $10B 🧠📈

$Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ $Rivian Automotive, Inc.(RIVN)$ $NuScale Power(SMR)$ I’m framing this deliberately through historical pattern trading because what I’m seeing here is not coincidence, not sector noise, and not late-cycle momentum. It’s phase alignment. Different industries, same structural rhythm. Build, compress, repair, then reprice.

This is exactly how leadership has always revealed itself before consensus catches up.

🚁 $ONDS, autonomy infrastructure transitioning from build-out to defence-scale execution

When I study $ONDS through a historical lens, it fits the same pattern as earlier defence and security platforms before multi-year expansions. These companies rarely surge immediately. They coil, consolidate, and absorb liquidity while capital structure, governance, and product integration are finalised.

📊 The daily chart remains a clean bull flag with higher lows, pressing into the $11.00 region. Historically, defence autonomy names resolve higher once price accepts above prior value and overhead supply is exhausted. That $11.00 level is the structural inflection.

🐳 Options flow adds conviction. Roughly $2M in 2Jan26 $12 calls remains open and deeply underwater, yet there are no signs of capitulation. With expiry approaching, this is not casual speculation. Historically, when aggressive short-dated positions hold through drawdown, it often reflects informational asymmetry rather than hope.

🏛️ Governance reinforces the phase shift. The 8-K around Ron Stern’s resignation is factually clean, with no disagreement over strategy, financials or practices. Historically, transaction-focused board members are brought in during consolidation phases, then rotated out as companies pivot toward execution and scale. This reads as alignment, not instability.

🛰️ Layer in the intent to invest up to $11M in advanced Ukrainian drone technology and the broader autonomy stack, and the pattern tightens. Defence platforms that align capability, geopolitics, and governance ahead of scale tend to reprice before revenue fully reflects it. $ONDS is behaving like a company preparing for altitude, not containment.

🚗 $RIVN, long doom loop breakout underway

This is the clearest historical pattern trade of the group.

For years, $RIVN was trapped in a classic long doom loop. Capital burn, sentiment decay, repeated lower highs, narrative fatigue. Historically, when that loop breaks, it does not do so quietly.

📈 $RIVN printing a new 52-week high following Needham’s price target increase from $14 to $23 signals a regime change. The inaugural AI & Autonomy Day marked the pivot from EV manufacturer to software-defined mobility platform.

🧠 The RAP1 in-house autonomy chip replacing NVIDIA silicon is the core catalyst. Processing 5B pixels per second and delivering 1.6T operations per second, roughly four times prior performance, this is vertical integration at the compute layer. Historically, this is where durable moats and margin expansion begin.

🔁 The Autonomy+ subscription launching in 2026 at $49.99 per month introduces recurring revenue leverage. Needham lifting its valuation multiple to 20x expected 2028 EBITDA reflects reclassification, not hype. This is the same sequence seen in prior platform transitions. Price moves first. Multiples follow.

📊 Pattern confirmation is clear. New 52-week highs, Benzinga Momentum near 70, and well-defined support around $16.82. The doom loop is complete. Expansion has begun.

⚛️ $SMR, high-timeframe support reset ahead of nuclear repricing

$SMR is behaving exactly how capital-intensive infrastructure names historically behave after speculative excess. Overshoot, deep retrace, then rebuild from long-term demand.

📉 The recent pullback is not structural damage. Price respected the 200-week EMA and interacted constructively with the weekly Ichimoku cloud. While a weekly close above the cloud would have been ideal, historical pattern trading shows acceptance within it often precedes the next impulse.

📍 The weekly structure shows price sitting at a heavily traded, bullish volume node. Sustained acceptance at these nodes is where institutions accumulate quietly.

🐳 Options flow adds a layer of quiet conviction. Long-dated positioning showed up in the Jun 18, 2026 $80 calls, with roughly $665K in premium traded, nearly 90% OTM. This is not short-term speculation. Historically, when capital reaches that far out on the curve during a pullback into high-timeframe demand, it signals patience and structural belief rather than event-driven chasing. Combined with positive net call premium on the day, the flow aligns with the broader thesis that $SMR is being accumulated for a longer-cycle nuclear repricing rather than traded tactically.

🔋 NuScale remains loss-making but is growing revenue rapidly and trades at a steep discount to analyst targets. Nuclear historically rerates when demand becomes unavoidable, not when earnings are perfect. AI-driven power demand is structural.

🏁 CONCLUSION

I have very high conviction in this framework.

$ONDS is exiting consolidation and entering execution.

$RIVN’s long doom loop has broken and the stock is being reclassified as a software and autonomy platform.

$SMR is resetting excess speculation and rebuilding from institutional demand zones ahead of an energy repricing cycle.

Historical pattern trading teaches that markets move before consensus agrees. These structures are not late. They are early.

This is exactly what leadership looks like before a new cycle becomes obvious.
