After a brief tariff tantrum, the market ripped back today — the QQQ and SPY both breaking higher while the Detroit Lions (and MCDC!) made Monday Night Football even sweeter. Despite all the noise, the market looks ready for another leg higher.
Momentum is alive again, and traders should prepare for tomorrow with a watchlist built for this environment. Here’s the market bounce watchlist for 2025.
CRDO – EMA Remount and Trend Reset
After a clean pullback, CRDO remounted its key EMAs and showed renewed strength today. If it holds through this zone and clears its range highs, the next target could push back toward recent resistance levels. It’s not a home run setup yet, but it’s worth keeping on watch.
RIOT – Liquidity and Range Return
RIOT has been hit-or-miss this year, but today it brought back range and liquidity — over 22 million shares traded with tight spreads. It’s been a tricky name in the past, but with Bitcoin-linked stocks heating up, this one deserves another look.
BTDR – Tightening for Breakout
This chart is tightening beautifully with multiple dojis forming near all-time highs. It’s marinating — waiting for the “cheese to congeal.” If it breaks this range cleanly, it could have a sharp move higher.
GALAXY – Consolidation Before the Next Move
After a 10-day consolidation, GALAXY looks ready to move. It’s been coiling tight and holding the EMAs. A strong close over resistance could lead to a sustained run.

Natural Gas & Solars – The Next AI Rotation?
Natural gas surged 10% today after months in a downtrend. With data centers consuming more power than ever, energy stocks could be the next “AI play.” Solars like SEDG and UNG are near their bottoms and could rotate higher next.
For newer traders, it’s worth learning how sector rotation fuels short-term trends — read our guide on How to Manage Risk Trading a Small Account. When you are flipping your account around when these things happen.
AMD – Still a Trader’s Favorite
AMD had a solid move today, and I grabbed the 240 calls at the open. The setup remains clean — trend intact, liquidity high. I’ll be watching for pullbacks into the 9 EMA for re-entries.
USAR – Textbook Pullback Into the Bone Zone
After running to the 40s, USAR has pulled back into the bone zone and remounted the 9 EMA. This is the exact type of setup I look for heading into a Friday session.
ShopZilla – Pre-Earnings Pop Potential
This one’s been quiet since its last earnings. With another report coming soon, the setup looks primed for a pre-earnings run.
Final Thoughts
We’ve got setups across the board — from large caps like AAPL (which hit new all-time highs) to small-cap momentum plays like USAR and CRDO.
Right now, the key is patience. Don’t grab the first slice of pizza while the cheese is still sliding off — let the setups congeal before you bite.
