Someone sold 490 call contracts on $Lexicon Pharmaceuticals(LXRX)$ at $5 for Jan27. Not sure who was behind that, but it looks like a big position. I could sell covered calls here, but the premium just doesn't seem worth tying up the capital for the hassle. My day trades already pay me daily, so the premium is already coming in. No real reason to lock up more capital for small returns when there are better setups available. My $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Intel(INTC)$ calls generate much more monthly premium, so it makes more sense to keep that running. At the end of the day though, cash is cash. Liquidity is leverage.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Pretty obvious pattern here. A sharp drop on the day of Blackrock earnings, followed by a quick buy-up within 24 hours to fill a major gap. Seems like positioning got sorted out, then a few days of consolidation before rallying back up as if nothing happened. lol.
$Intel(INTC)$ The good news is I sold NBIS to buy Intel and it hasn't dropped nearly as much. The bad news is it's still down 3%. Feels like a bounce could come soon.
$BlackBerry(BB)$ $Oracle(ORCL)$ $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ I find all these AI stocks getting hammered a bit suspicious. Let's be real here. Everyone has known these financing numbers for over a year. There are no hidden surprises. It really feels like the markets are being tanked on purpose for the midterms, as always. This year they're just using AI stocks. Other years it was oil, banks, pharma, and so on. My guess is we'll get quite the Santa Claus rally.
NQ$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ broke under my expected trade zone during Q3 earnings season on the hot CPI print. Part of the drop may have already priced in a hot PPI. So if PPI comes in-line, a partial recovery bounce is possible. If PPI comes in hotter like CPI did, then I would expect more downside, but not as much, since part of a hot PPI is likely already factored in.
$Intel(INTC)$ Intel is working directly with server OEMs like Dell, HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo, along with Open Rack v3 ODMs. When a private company builds an on-premise agentic cluster to keep proprietary data off the public cloud, Intel gets high-margin hardware revenue across both the CPU side with Xeon and the accelerator side with D270.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ This is one of the more compelling setups in the market right now. The bullish case comes down to four technical drivers: solid support holding in the $135–$140 demand zone, price trading inside a bullish weekly Fair Value Gap, a clean daily bullish engulfing candle, and weekly Gamma Exposure targeting a push toward $155 and $160.
$Agroz(AGRZ)$ That 1.4 million Malaysian new reverse split hasn't played out yet. Still digesting the move from the last few days. And honestly, a flush of less than 20K shares down to $4 shows just how thin this is and how fast it could do a $WF Holding Ltd.(WFF)$ -style move. The last three big volume days, two of them at 5 to 6 million shares, point to a double or more from the 13 million volume day, which took it from the $7s to $24. You have to be early here, because when they decide to run it, the price could jump $2 or $3 higher instantly. I think it will happen.
$Intel(INTC)$ Finally breaking above that strong descending trendline on the 15-minute chart, which had been pressing down on it all morning. From here I think it should consolidate a bit and then move higher.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ Insider buy at Oracle. Board member Stephen Rusckowski, former CEO of Quest Diagnostics, purchased 25,000 shares worth approximately $3.48 million on September 29, 2026, at an average price of $139.35. Confirmed via SEC Form 4 filing on Oct. 1, and it was an actual open-market purchase, not stock compensation. ORCL is trading nearly 60% below its all-time high. A purchase of that size by a board member at these levels is a significant vote of confidence. Insiders can sell for many reasons, but they generally buy because they see value. Bullish signal for Oracle's long-term outlook.
Banks are open again soon. I held at $100. Would like to see some bottom confirmation and a move back up toward $107-108. Ending the week at $112 would be nice. $Intel(INTC)$
$Oracle(ORCL)$ ORCL – Key price levels I'm watching. $131.58 is the critical support. A close below that could signal another leg down. $134.66 was the recent higher low. Holding above it supports a potential bottoming pattern. $147.00 is the first bullish breakout signal. Need a daily close above that level. $154.00 gives stronger bullish confirmation. Ideally, a weekly close above it on above-average volume. Above $154, followed by a successful pullback, would be the strongest technical bottoming signal if the stock establishes a higher low.
