RSOTC June MTD Recap (AI-Generated) 6-22-26

rsotc — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:27:20 +0000

I’m still refining the best way to provide periodic (most likely weekly) summaries of the analysis and trade ideas posted on RSOTC. What follows is an early test of that process.

For this example, I used Gemini to generate a month-to-date (MTD) recap of the analysis and trade ideas that have reached one or more profit targets since the start of June.

This remains a work in progress, and I’ve only taken a cursory glance to verify the accuracy of the results below. One current limitation is that the AI tools can only analyze text-based content published on the RSOTC homepage. Since much of the analysis and many trade ideas are presented in videos, these summaries will only capture that content when an AI-generated text summary was posted alongside or shortly after the original video.

Over time, I expect this process to become more comprehensive, accurate, and hopefully automated, allowing weekly recap posts to be published on a regular schedule, such as Friday evenings.

Here is a comprehensive summary of the market commentary, technical analysis, and the completed trade results since June 1, 2026.

Executive Summary of Market Commentary & Analysis

The broader market analysis highlights structural vulnerability across major stock indices, marked by macro negative technical divergences and a rotation from high-flying momentum sectors into defensive plays.

Equity Indices (QQQ & SPY): Both major index short positions remain active. QQQ has put in smaller divergent highs on the 60-minute frame, extending the early June negative divergences. Price has run into June 3/4 gap resistance, with a key sell signal triggered on a break below last Wednesday’s lows. SPY exhibits a similar pattern, bouncing between gap support and resistance floors below its all-time high.
The Macro/FOMC Environment: Commentary emphasizes an underlying secular bull market for interest rates, with bond vigilantes driving long-term Treasury yields to multi-decade highs despite previous rate cuts. This upward rate pressure is expected to cool down the broader technology/semiconductor bubbles and reset corporate valuations.
The VIX & Sector Shifts: The VIX experienced a sharp 53% spike off its recent low, though major upside remains dependent on a broader financial breakdown. A rotating cycle is expected out of overextended sectors and into select, but not all, Consumer Staples (XLP) and defensive assets, with certain key staples stocks such as WMT, COST, PG, and MDLZ recently or currently exhibiting bearish price action and/or technical postures.
Semiconductors (SOXX/XSD): The sector exhibits heavily overbought conditions. Mega-caps like NVDA are consolidating within an intermediate box, but face structural vulnerabilities on a macro scale, while critical equipment makers (AMAT, KLAC) are flags for “parabolic blow-off tops.”
Precious Metals & Crypto: Gold, Silver, and Mining ETFs are undergoing steep corrections off historical peaks, but have reached major structural support floors paired with positive daily divergences, indicating high-probability bounce areas. Bitcoin has similarly tested key long-term daily macro support thresholds.

Securities Hitting One or More Price Targets

The following stocks, ETFs, and commodities achieved one or more official price targets during this period:

1. RKDA (Arcadia Biosciences)

Action: Long Entry
Targets Hit: Hit T1, T2, and T3 (First, Second, and Third Profit Targets).
Outcome: Generated a rapid profit return of approximately 70% before retracing back near its initial trendline entry level.

2. ITB (iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF)

Action: Long Swing Trade
Targets Hit: Hit T5 (Final Price Target).
Outcome: Successfully reached its ultimate target for a 15% profit. With negative divergences building at T5, the trade was officially closed and moved to the Completed Trades archive on June 18th.

3. CPB (Campbell’s Co.)

Action: Active Long Swing / Growth & Income Trade
Targets Hit: Hit T1 (First Profit Target).
Outcome: Secured a quick 14% profit before undergoing a typical technical pullback. The pullback to the $20.72 support zone is flagged as an objective re-entry or add-on level.

4. /CL or USO (Crude Oil Futures / ETN)

Action: Short Trade (Entered May 20th)
Targets Hit: Hit 75.59 (Final Price Support Target).
Outcome: Captured a 25% profit. Because it hit its final structural support target and the risk-to-reward ratio for remaining short was no longer favorable, the trade was moved to the Completed Short archives on June 16th.

5. QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust)

Action: Active Short Trade
Targets Hit: Hit T1 (First Profit Target) on the 60-minute chart.
Outcome: Hit T1 and experienced a typical technical counter-trend reaction bounce to backfill an early June gap (up to the 742.00 level). The active short position remains open with lower targets (T2–T4) in view if the T1 floor is decisively broken down.

6. GLD (SPDR Gold Trust)

Action: Swing Short
Targets Hit: Hit the top of T3 (Third and Final Official Price Target / Support Zone).
Outcome: Hit the exact target support area paired with daily positive technical divergences. This served as an objective level to cover short positions and/or reverse long for a tradeable bounce.

7. GDX (Gold Miners ETF)

Action: Swing Short
Targets Hit: Hit and reversed off T2 (Second Price Target).
Outcome: Hit target support simultaneously as gold bullion hit its respective T3 zone, triggering a tradeable reversal/bounce.

8. SLV (iShares Silver Trust)

Action: Swing Short
Targets Hit: Hit T3 (Third and Final Price Target / Uptrend Line Support).
Outcome: Completed its corrective phase down to the final target line on the daily chart, establishing an objective area for a projected bounce.

9. IAI (iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers ETF)

Action: Swing Trade
Targets Hit: Hit Both Swing Trade Targets (T1 & T2).
Outcome: Briefly highlighted on June 16th as a successfully completed trade setup.

10. VIX (CBOE Volatility Index)

Action: Long/Volatility Position
Targets Hit: Hit its initial upside target of 23.19.
Outcome: Produced a swift 53% spike off its recent technical low.

11. CBOE (Cboe Global Markets Inc.) & CME (CME Group Inc.)

Action: Long Bounce Plays (Entered June 2nd)
Targets Hit: Hit initial bounce targets.
Outcome: CBOE generated a rapid 12% to 13% gain before experiencing a minor trendline break on June 16th. CME captured roughly 9% gains on a matching long setup.

Here’s a great tip from @ixtlanian which I covered in the video (thanks!):

I have been following you on and off for about two decades. I love the videos, but one of the most difficult parts of tracking your trade ideas was trying to watch a video tagged with 20-30 symbols and figuring out where in the 1-hr video that symbol is covered.

Finally Google’s Gemini AI solves that problem. I think you should add the tip I am about to share to your FAQs because it is a true game changer.

Here are the specific steps:
1) If you watch a video RSOTC web page inline – click “YouTube” icon (bottom-right, between the settings and cast icons) to switch to the full YouTube interface.
2) Once you are watching the video on YouTube webpage, click “Ask” button (just below the video, bottom-right, between Share and Save buttons.
3) In the “Ask about this video” panel that appears to the right of the video, ask any natural language question (e.g. Where does XYZ coverage start?)
4) Gemini AI will reply with a clickable shortcut to the timestamp where that ticker discussion starts.
5) Of course – you can ask any other natural question about the video (e.g. What is the recommended T3 level for XYZ?). More complex questions like that are prone to more erroneous answers, but I was still able to get many of the answers I needed without watching the video at all.

HUM Humana Swing Trade Setup 12-11-25

rsotc — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:15:01 +0000

HUM (Humana Inc.) will trigger an objective long entry on a break above the 271.77 resistance level (and 200-day EMA). Stops should be commensurate with one’s preferred price target(s), which are shown on the daily chart below. Also, note that HUM is a sister trade (i.e., likely to be highly correlated) with the existing MOH trade, as both are in the same sector. As such, one’s position size (if long both) should be adjusted to account for their ideal overall exposure to the healthcare plans sector.

THC Tenet Healthcare Trade Idea 9-9-25

rsotc — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 14:00:41 +0000

THC will trigger a short entry on THE NEXT drop below 186.30 with the next objective short entry or add-on to come on a solid break below S1 (183.47).

THC daily Sept 9th

The daily chart above has five price targets, so the suggested stop would be commensurate with one’s preferred target(s), using a favorable R/R of 3:1 or better. THC has come full circle since this last short trade posted back just under a year ago (click to view), with the stock falling to just above the original final target (T3) but covered just below the lows from the April 7th “covering all shorts, going fully long” statement, along with THC putting in a big divergent low at that time, providing a 30% profit on that previous short trade. (Sept 27, 2024 entry chart below).

THC daily Sept 27th

This time around, my targets are more aggressive, based on both the longer-term (weekly) charts of THC as well as the broad market. The reason for waiting for the next intraday break below 186.30 is that the stock briefly broke down below the uptrend line immediately after the open today, but quickly whipped back up onto the trendline. As such, another break below 186.30 will take the stock back below the uptrend line again & based on my analysis, the next breakdown will likely stick. If not, that’s what stops are for.

Should THC take out the downtrend line & 186.30 level to trigger a short entry, the stock still has what I call BOD (benefit-of-the-doubt) support just below, around 183.47. As such, my preference would be to take a starter (1/2) position on the next break below 186.30, adding to a full position if & only if the S1 support level is clearly taken out.

Note: RSOTC.com was down due to a technical glitch earlier today, with the error now resolved.
