Best Stock Charts for the Week Ahead: ARKK, CSGP, and ADSK Technical Analysis

Are significant market pullbacks right around the corner?

With the S&P 500 continuously printing new all-time closing highs, the broader path of least resistance remains clearly defined to the upside. However, the market is currently looking highly extended—particularly within the semiconductor space, which has been trading above its two-standard-deviation Bollinger Band for nearly eight weeks. While this isn’t entirely unheard of, it is fundamentally unsustainable.

In this week’s market strategy update, we break down why we are preparing for a healthy pullback, how sector rotation could soon breathe massive life into the software space, and the exact contrarian chart setups we are watching for the new trading week.

Watch the full video strategy breakdown below:

Weekly Performance Recap: Locking in High-Alpha Profits

Our long positions performed exceptionally well over the past week, proving once again why a patient, contrarian approach pays off when the masses get overcrowded in parabolic sectors.

• Diageo (DEO): We officially booked a 14% profit on this trade. Originally initiated as a high-dividend club play, we dynamically pivoted to a swing trade when they cut their dividend. Recognizing heavy historical resistance on TrendSpider, we hit our price target and locked in gains.
• Palantir (PLTR) & Adobe (ADBE): Both setups are working beautifully. We scaled into Palantir during a tight Bollinger Band squeeze inside its Keltner Channels, and we bought Adobe when “everyone hated software.” Now, money is actively rotating out of extended semis and into software names right on cue.
• Virgin Galactic (SPCE): This macro contrarian bet has officially screamed up over 100%+ in total gains since our initial bullish position was alerted to members.

Note: These stocks have left the gate and are currently extended. Do not chase them here. We need a healthy pullback before executing any continuation patterns or adding to positions.

Top Stock Charts & Setups for the New Trading Week

The core of our strategy isn’t about buying a random company ticker; it is about strictly buying the setup. Here are the three primary charts sitting on our active watchlist for Monday morning:

1. ARKK ETF: Macro Multi-Year Breakout Setup

While many retail traders stress over 4-hour or daily charts, zooming out to the macro monthly chart reveals a massive shift in structure for Kathy Wood’s flagship innovation fund.

• The Technical Setup: ARKK has put together a beautiful, long-term cup-and-handle formation. The chart has repeatedly tested and held critical historical support levels, validating where to place a definitive macro stop-loss.
• The Strategy: This is shifting from a standard swing trade into a macro, multi-year investment thesis centered on innovation. We are looking to dollar-cost-average and build out a core position on this definitive monthly time-frame breakout.

2. CoStar Group (CSGP): The Classic Contrarian Trade

CoStar Group is currently deeply unloved by Wall Street due to heavy institutional distribution on the monthly chart. Naturally, that is exactly why it has landed squarely on our radar.

• The Technical Setup: Zooming into the weekly chart, CSGP completely stopped going down back in mid-May. Since then, it has been carving out a solid consolidation base right on top of not one, but two critical historical support levels.
• The Strategy: The daily chart is attempting an early breakout. We are looking for a definitive, daily higher closing high to validate a classic contrarian swing trade with tightly defined risk sitting right below major technical support.

3. Autodesk (ADSK): Spotting the Thursday Liquidity Flush

Autodesk remains one of our absolute favorite setups heading into the new trading week due to some highly calculated visual data left behind on the daily chart.

• The Technical Setup: ADSK has suffered months of downward pressure, but it successfully held rock-bottom structural support at $211.50. On Thursday, Wall Street ran a classic “bear raid” or liquidity flush—driving the stock aggressively lower to trigger everyone’s stop-loss orders before bidding it right back up to print a massive bullish key reversal on heavy volume.
• The Strategy: ADSK is showing an attractive Bollinger Band squeeze coiled tightly inside its Keltner Channels. With validation from Thursday’s volume spike, the probability for an upside breakout is highly favorable.
