Benjamin P, head trader at Verified Investing, walks through a broad technical setup list and frames Micron’s after-the-close earnings as the key event that could move the whole memory-stock complex. Most of the video is level-by-level chart work on SPY, SOXX, USO, MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL, NFLX, PLTR, SanDisk, NBIS, AFRM, and GLW, with emphasis on support/resistance, trendlines, RSI divergence, and gap fills. The main actionable idea is that Micron is still weak into earnings, and the reaction could either extend selling in memory names or trigger a relief bounce if the market decides the report was already priced in.

Benjamin P opens with a standard Verified Investing format: he says the show breaks down “best trade setups,” then immediately moves into a technical scan across the S&P 500 and a handful of stocks. The core event of the video is Micron’s earnings after the closing bell, which he says could have “a big impact on the memory stocks going forward.” He does not try to predict the print; instead he frames the setup as a binary reaction question: are earnings already priced in, or will profit-takers “continue to slam this thing down?” A large part of the video is a live chart walk-through. For SPY, he cites $731.58 as support, $740.99 as an aggressive short level, and $744.39 as a more conservative resistance area, with the opening gap on June 23 acting as an additional ceiling. …
Trade the MU print, not the pre-earnings narrative. A weak reaction could pressure memory and semis quickly, while a beat-with-relief move may force a sharp squeeze; levels around MU and SOXX matter more than the backdrop right now.
Over the next few weeks, the market will likely decide whether Micron’s reaction confirms a fragile memory cycle or just a one-day shakeout. Continued respect of semicap trendlines would keep the setup constructive; failure there would shift the base case toward more downside in the group.
Micron is being treated as a proxy for the memory cycle, so the long-run implication is that memory stocks remain a catalyst-driven, sentiment-sensitive segment. If earnings reactions keep dominating price, the sector stays in a trading regime rather than a stable compounding regime.
Micron (MU) earnings after the bell will have a big impact on memory stocks, and the stock is showing weakness such that today was not a good long opportunity.
