Let’s dive into the wild world of high-flying — and then sharply falling — stocks and see where the market action is heating up.
Quantum computing names like QUBT, QBTS and RGTI are catching my eye again, despite recent sell-offs wiping out their year-end rallies.
With these stocks now retracing to key support levels, I’m watching for potential buy opportunities. It’s all about price action — not hype or fundamentals.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what I’ll cover in today’s video:
🍪 Quantum Computing Retracement — QUBT and RGTI are nearing critical support zones. Think of them like cookies fresh out of the oven — wait for them to cool (or stabilize) before diving in.
🎯 Support and Resistance Analysis — Key levels on QUBT suggest $5 as a solid support zone, with upside potential targeting 3-4X that number.
📈 Options Insight — Implied volatility is settling, but an aggressive move could bring call options to life.
💻 Tech Giants — Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Nvidia (NVDA) are holding key levels. Nvidia’s correction presents a unique entry point.

Order Flow:
Earnings are also underway this week with the big banks kicking things off before the open Wednesday. So what better place to start with today — we covered Citigroup (C ) and Bank of America (BAC) plays on Friday — than with the biggest bank of them all, JPMorgan (JPM).
A bullish trader threw about $326k worth of premium at the April monthly expiration, $265 strike calls.
These are pricey and frankly too long-dated for our taste, and they’re over $20 out of the money — though still inside the market maker’s expected move of $26.84 higher or lower by expiration.
If we felt particularly bullish about JPM for earnings, we’d go shorter-dated and much closer to the money. The expected move following the report is $7.78 higher or lower, and $9.13 higher or lower by this Friday’s expiration.
We also saw some solid bets in Google parent Alphabet (GOOG; GOOGL), and a bullish play in Occidental Petroleum (OXY) with oil stocks heating up.

P.S. A Better Set of Trading Rules for 2025
Nate Tucci applied new rules to 100 options trade alerts I took last year, and we turned a 69% win rate to 85.1%.
If you’d like to up your trading game in 2025… check this out.
Even better… with my trades and win rate, we turned a $10k model account into $63k…
But with Nate’s adjustments to the rules, that $10k grew above $100k. I revealed all his adjustments so you can learn and use them in 2025…
