A pre-market trading rundown focused on chip, memory, and data center stocks, with the speaker mapping specific support/resistance levels for several names and flagging possible short setups in extended movers. The main bias is tactical and technical: fade into resistance on names like MU, SNDK, NXT, STX, and WDC, while looking to buy weakness in beaten-up names like SWKS, Reddit, and AP if they reach defined supports.

This video is a pre-market market-setup show from Verified Investing, led by Benjamin P, head trader. The speaker says the session is about identifying long and short levels for the open, especially in chip, memory, and data center stocks that are “ripping” in pre-market trading. The core of the video is a series of technical levels: - Oracle (ORCL): the speaker likes the stock but is watching a pullback zone; he cites $171.14 as a nearby aggressive resistance area and $163.8 as a potential long support entry if a flush occurs. - Humana (HUM): he says it already dropped after a prior callout, notes a profitable live day-trade, and now sees limited interest unless it gets back to support near $199.31 or possibly lower toward the low-230s area he references as the next major support zone. - UnitedHealth (UNH): he initially discussed a long near $282.11 but removes that level because the …
Near term, the setup favors fading overextended chip/memory strength into the stated resistance zones while selectively buying only the beaten-up names that revisit clear support. The key risk is that momentum in semis stays strong through the open and forces higher re-entry levels on the short ideas.
Over the next several weeks, the market likely remains choppy and level-driven, with earnings and pre-market gaps repeatedly creating mean-reversion opportunities. The view improves for the bullish side only if the stronger names keep holding above prior highs and the weaker names stabilize at their support pivots.
Structurally, the transcript reflects a market regime where semiconductors, memory, and data-center hardware can move violently on momentum and earnings, making technical discipline more important than narrative chasing. Precious metals also remain a live secondary regime if dollar weakness and the gold/silver bid continue.
