PricePlanProfit: Weekly Market Review
A complete breakdown of S&P structure, sector rotation, and 15+ trade setups with precise entry and target levels
In her latest YouTube session, the weekly S&P 500 chart is the starting point. Since the ~20% pullback in April 2025 — where a high timeframe demand zone held and provided the launch point — the market made a series of higher highs and higher lows all the way to a new all-time high just above 7,000. Since then: roughly six weeks of sideways consolidation, and now a couple of down weeks.
Her framework: if S&P pulls back to 6,600 while watchlist names are simultaneously in their own demand zones, that confluence is the setup worth acting on.
Where Institutional Money Is Flowing
Sector rotation is how you find where big money is moving before a stock breaks out. The current rotation over the past month and quarter is unambiguous:
Leading (risk-off): Utilities · Consumer Staples · Energy
Lagging: Financials · Consumer Discretionary · Big Tech
Capital is rotating into things people buy regardless of the economic environment — electricity, cigarettes, oil — while exiting the high-growth names that led in late 2024. The one exception in tech: semiconductors remain the strongest pocket, and that's where any tech exposure should be focused.
Energy deserves special mention. After consolidating for nearly eight months through mid-2024, the sector has caught a sustained bid since the new year — partly driven by global conflict keeping oil markets on edge. Relative strength that didn't exist last year now clearly does.
The entire watchlist is built around these leading sectors.
Semiconductors
Broadcom (AVGO)
AVGO is right at its daily 200-day moving average — a major over/under level. If it holds above the 200 MA, this is a buy-the-dip opportunity. If it loses the 200 and that level flips to resistance, the plan is to step aside until a higher timeframe demand zone appears.
Buy zone: $317.50–$325 (confirmation required — higher low and a break above the prior candle body)
Targets: First trim ~$330 · Second trim ~$337 · Supply zone $343–$362
Stop: Daily candle close below $317.50
Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia has pulled back to its rising 200-day moving average, which has produced clean bounces twice before. This would be the third test — and third tests require confirmation rather than anticipation.
Buy zone: $170–$177
Targets: $184–$186 · $191–$198
Stop: Daily candle close below the zone
Micron (MU)
The strongest chart in the semiconductor space on a relative basis — but earnings in 4 days (March 18) introduce binary risk that needs to be respected. For larger accounts comfortable with earnings volatility, the area near the monthly and weekly edge confluence is the zone to watch.
Intel (INTC)
A longer-duration setup. The demand zone is wider, which means using April monthly expirations to give the trade time to develop.
Buy zone: $38.95–$44.24
Targets: $47.21 · $50.51 · $53.45
Energy
ConocoPhillips (COP)
A beautiful bullish trend in a sector showing genuine relative strength. Not a momentum buy at highs — this is a dip-buy toward the lower weekly edge and daily demand zone.
Buy zone: $107–$112.40
Targets: $121–$122.50
Chevron (CVX)
Last week's setup played out textbook-perfectly: the buy zone at $181.76–$186 was hit on March 10th and price moved straight to the $199 target. This week the zone shifts slightly higher.
Buy zone: $181.76–$187
Targets: Trim $192–$193 · Target $197–$199
Stop: Daily candle close below zone
Occidental Petroleum (OXY)
Gap up, slight pullback, gap up — now watching for the next controlled dip. Multiple confluences stack at the buy zone: lower weekly edge, monthly edge, yearly edge, and an inside-and-up candlestick structure.
Buy zone: $49.81–$53.08
Targets: $58.36 (upper weekly edge) · $61.35–$64.76
Stop: Daily candle close below zone
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Another textbook buy-the-dip from last week. The zone remains in play.
Buy zone: $147.86–$151
Targets: Trim $154.71 · $158–$160 · Extension targets above
Kinder Morgan (KMI)
Low daily ATR (~$0.60/day) — this one requires patience. A tested demand zone provides the setup, with the lower weekly edge acting as a secondary watch level.
Buy zone: $31.67–$32.29
Targets: $33.77 · $34.80
Williams Companies (WMB)
Right at an area of support. Watching for confirmation to go long.
Targets: $75–$76.42 · $78.50
Utilities
Duke Energy (DUK)
A sector leader right now. Price didn't reach the ideal buy zone last week, but a tighter zone has formed around the monthly edge and lower weekly edge.
Watch zone: $128.50–$130 (~$150 risk)
Targets: $133 (first target, ~2:1 R/R) · Extension targets above
Stop: Daily candle close below zone
NextEra Energy (NEE)
The entry at $89.73 on Monday was missed — price moved to target without a full position. This week: back on alert at the lower weekly edge and demand zone.
Buy zone: Demand zone / lower weekly edge
Targets: $93 · $94.62 · $95.91
Southern Company (SO)
Currently sitting in supply — not a buy here. Waiting for a pullback to the alert level.
Alert level: ~$95.15
Risk/Reward: ~$1.50 risk to monthly edge resistance · Targeting supply zone near $101
Consumer Staples & Defensives
Walmart (WMT)
Already in this name from lower levels. Price consolidated at support last week, then ripped Thursday and Friday — and is now back at resistance. Not a buy here. Waiting for the dip back to demand.
Dip buy zone: Prior support level
Targets: $133–$134
Target (TGT)
Pulled back into a demand zone with a momentum squeeze potentially setting up on the daily chart. The histogram rolling back to cyan bars would be the trigger — if the squeeze fires from demand, the target above becomes very achievable.
Buy zone: $111–$116 (~$4.75 risk)
Targets: First target at prior resistance cliff · $124.37 · $134–$137 (supply zone)
Altria (MO)
A classic defensive name that performs in risk-off environments — exactly the current market condition. The ideal buy zone wasn't reached last week, but a tighter support area has formed.
Buy zone: $65.50–$66.50 (~$1 risk)
Target: ~$1.50 reward to supply zone above (~1.5:1 R/R)
Gold & Precious Metals
GDX (Gold Miners ETF)
The prior demand zone has been invalidated — price closed below it and it's off the chart. A new lower zone based on an inside-and-up structure is now the focus.
New buy zone: $88.80–$91.81
Targets: Trim at bearish channel · Pre-bearish GP trim · Supply zone $107.12–$117.17
Gold (GLD)
This week GLD is being approached through the trendy edge framework — not a demand zone play, but a weekly edge reclaim trade. A lack of confirmation kept the Friday entry off the table, which she considers the right call.
Trigger: Reclaim of lower weekly edge (alert set, waiting for confirmation — higher low and break above)
Targets: $470 · $476–$481
Communications
AT&T (T)
Fell below the prior demand zone but formed a new lower zone, with a monthly edge just below it incorporated into the buy zone.
Buy zone: $26.40–$27.40
Targets: $28.17 · $28.86–$29.79
Netflix (NFLX)
Below its daily 200-day MA — structurally bearish longer term. This is not a new uptrend trade. It's a relief bounce play using Fibonacci from the recent high to low.
Zone 1: $90.50–$94.42 → target $98–$108
Zone 2 (preferred): $84–$88 (lower yearly edge confluence)
Note: If zone 1 breaks, erase it. This is a bounce, not a trend-following trade.
Defense
RTX (Raytheon)
Pulled back to the 61.8% golden Fibonacci level on Thursday and again on Friday, bouncing to the 50% level each time. Resistance at $207 is clear and the risk/reward from current levels isn't attractive enough to act. Watching for a deeper pullback to a level price hasn't revisited yet.
Preferred buy zone: Prior range bottom — alert set, not a top priority this week.
SHLD (Defense Tech)
Stuck in a range, which limits conviction. A starter position approach makes sense — partial entry at the alert level, adding to full allocation only inside the demand zone.
Alert level: ~$74.20
Buy zone: Inside-and-up structure on the 4-hour chart
Targets: $75–$76 (expect rejection) · $77.40–$81
Verizon (VZ)
Strong bullish trend but low daily ATR — a patience trade that may take a full month to reach target. Best suited for traders comfortable holding over multiple weeks. The buy zone aligns with the 200 MA, yearly edge mid, and a gap imbalance.
Buy zone: $45.82–$47.18
Target: ~$51 (monthly ATR away — allow one to two months)
The Most Important Rule
Over 15 names on this watchlist. That doesn't mean 15 trades.
The goal is 2–5 high-quality setups — the ones where the broader S&P is at a support level, the individual stock is in its own demand zone, and confirmation shows up cleanly. When those three things align, the setup earns a full position. Everything else stays on alert.
Most active trading this year has been day trading S&P and XSP — the right call given choppy conditions at higher price levels. Swing trades get initiated selectively, sized appropriately, and only when risk is clearly defined.
Two good swing trades beat ten mediocre ones every time.
