Publisher’s Note:

Right now, under the radar, every company in the Magnificent 7 is pouring a combined $30 billion-plus into one little-known technology breakthrough. It is not data centers, chip manufacturing, energy, or rare earths.

It is something hiding in plain sight, and the smartest money on earth has been moving into it for months.

On Wednesday, June 24, at 2 PM ET, Ryan Fitzwater and Bryan Bottarelli are going live with special guest JC Parets for the AI Dark Money Summit to walk through exactly what it is, why a little-known federal meeting outside DC is opening a narrow one-month profit window, and which small group of stocks is positioned to benefit.

They will even share live trade recommendations, free.

Everyone is watching the wrong AI stock.

All the attention goes to the chip designers, the companies whose names you see in every headline when the AI trade rips.

But here is what people forget. Those companies do not actually build their own chips. They design them, then hand the blueprints to someone else to manufacture, because almost no one on earth can physically make a cutting-edge chip.

One company does it better than anyone, and nearly the entire AI trade runs straight through it.

That company is Taiwan Semiconductor, ticker TSM.

When Nvidia, Apple, or AMD designs a chip, TSM is the one that builds it. They are the picks-and-shovels play for the whole AI boom, the single shovel every one of those companies has to come buy.

And business is booming in a way that is hard to overstate. Last quarter, TSM did $35.9 billion in revenue, up more than 40% from a year ago, and it earned a gross margin north of 66%, which is staggering for a company that runs giant factories.

Management guided next quarter even higher, and they are pouring roughly $20 billion into a new plant in Arizona because they cannot build capacity fast enough to keep up with demand. This is not a hope-and-pray story. The money is already showing up.

And the chart is telling me it is setting up for a run higher.

Start with the trend, because if the trend is wrong, nothing else matters.

TSM has been climbing for the better part of a year in a steady staircase, higher highs and higher lows, and it is sitting right up near its highs around $432.

Anyone can look at that chart above and tell you that it’s trending upward. You don’t have to be a chart whiz to identify the trend.

Then the pattern, and this is where I lean in.

Look at the moving averages. The 8-day EMA sits on top, the 21-day right beneath it, the 34-day beneath that, all of them rising, with price riding above the whole stack.

And it is doing this on both the daily and the weekly chart. Here is why that matters. When the averages line up in that order, the trader who bought last week, the one who bought last month, and the one who bought months ago are all sitting in the green together.

Nobody is trapped overhead waiting to dump shares into the first sign of strength. When two timeframes point the same direction like that, it is far stronger than one, and right now the buyers clearly own this thing.

Last is the squeeze, which is what got me to write this up. A squeeze occurs when a stock stops making big moves and cools into a tighter and tighter range. Picture a spring being slowly compressed. The volatility winds down, the range pinches in, and all that energy gets stored with nowhere to go yet.

The longer it coils, the harder it tends to pop when it finally releases. On TSM, that squeeze is on right now.

Here is what makes this one especially interesting.

The spring is coiling up near the highs, not down in the gutter after a beating, which is the most bullish place it can be.

And it is winding up right ahead of the company’s next earnings report on July 15.

A stock that is already trending hard, stacked on two timeframes, and tightening into a known catalyst is exactly the kind of chart I go hunting for.

Trend, pattern, and squeeze, all lined up on the same name, with a catalyst on the calendar. That is the whole package.

Your Action Plan

I would not be surprised to see TSM run hard into its July earnings.

Now, if you want to see what trading on the faster end of the spectrum looks like, there is a new initiative worth a look.

I’ve been showing regular folks how to target fast, defined moves, with example wins like $10,000 in 6 minutes, $20,650 in 12 minutes, and $21,700 in 11 minutes, and never once by betting on a falling stock.

The next one is coming between now and Monday.
