Market Plays: Bearish FedEx, Bullish Home Depot & Qualcomm (FDX, HD, QCOM)
Don Kaufman outlines bearish FedEx double-top and bullish Home Depot and Qualcomm options ideas amid crude swings and Trump–Xi meeting; Rick Ducat provides technical analysis.
Editorial companion
What stands out
Don Kaufman lays out three clear technical trade ideas: a bearish view on FedEx after he spots a double-top pattern, a bullish tilt on Home Depot because it is trading near its year lows, and a bullish read on Qualcomm based on steady upward price action. He pairs each call with example options plays while Rick Ducat walks through chart details. The clip ties those stock ideas to crude oil swings and the upcoming meeting between President Trump and China President Xi Jinping, which could shift macro risk quickly.
