🚨 Trade Update: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC)
We recommended INTC on April 14 near the $65 level. Since then, the stock has surged past our first Price Target ($75) and closed Friday around $82.50 — a gain of  roughly 27% in under two weeks.
INTC gapped up 23%+ on earnings this past week, which is the catalyst that drove us through PT1 and into PT2 territory. However, a move this sharp in this short a time does leave the stock technically extended, and the charts suggest a mild pullback or consolidation is possible before any further upside.
Here’s how we recommend managing your position from here:
For those with a lower risk appetite: Consider selling 50% of your position now, in the $82–$85 zone. This locks in a 26%+ gain on half your position and removes pressure. Let the remaining half ride with a trailing stop.
For those with a risk appetite: Hold your full position, but move your stop-loss up to $75 on a closing basis (PT1 now acts as your floor). Give the stock room to breathe and target the final exit at PT2 ($90).
Key Levels to Watch
- $82.50–$85.00: Current profit zone. A struggle around $85 is a good signal to trim another slice.
- $75.00: Trailing stop (PT1). Exit on a daily close below this.
- $90.00: PT2. Final target. Exit the remainder here, unless you want to extend the run.
Note that $85.00 is a natural resistance point. If price stalls there, that’s a reasonable spot to take additional profits rather than waiting all the way to $90.
Bottom line: Don’t exit entirely, the momentum is still intact, and $90 is within reach. But protect your gains. The best trade is one where you never give back a big win.
Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ: EOSE) just had a powerful breakout and now looks poised to climb AGAIN.
The combination of AI data-center power demand, manufacturing scale-up, strong backlog growth, and a fresh technical breakout makes EOSE one of the more interesting setups on the board. Here’s what’s going on…
The Themes Behind the Move
Eos makes battery energy storage systems designed for utilities, microgrids, and commercial customers. In plain English, it builds large-scale batteries that can help store power for the grid — and increasingly, that makes it part of the growing conversation around how to support energy-hungry AI data centers.
EOSE’s latest move does not appear to be about one single headline. Instead, traders seem to be reacting to a broader set of themes that have been building underneath the story.
| Theme / Catalyst | What Happened | Why Traders Care |
|---|---|---|
| AI data-center power angle | On Apr 15, Eos announced a joint development agreement with TURBINE-X to build behind-the-meter power systems for AI data centers, targeting up to 2 GWh of Eos battery storage over the next 36 months. | It pivots Eos directly into the AI infrastructure boom. Data centers require massive, non-flammable, long-duration storage that lithium-ion struggles to provide safely at scale. This deal validates Eos’s zinc-based tech for mission-critical sites. |
| Operational Milestone / Manufacturing scale-up | On Apr 9, Eos confirmed that its second high-capacity production line (“Line 2”) successfully passed Factory Acceptance Testing and is designed to improve throughput and lower unit costs. | Scaling manufacturing has been one of the company’s biggest hurdles, so progress here matters a lot. Reaching this milestone suggests the company is finally scaling to meet its massive backlog. |
| Revenue ramp / commercial traction | On Apr 9, Eos reported that preliminary Q1 revenue came in at $56–$57 million, showing strong year-over-year growth and continued backlog conversion. | It suggests the story is moving beyond concept and into real commercial execution. |
| Zinc battery renaissance / tailwind | There’s a new broader trend kicking in that benefits Eos: The global zinc battery market is projected to reach $1.44 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 16.7%. As grid operators move toward 4- to 16-hour storage requirements, the safety and abundance of zinc (versus the supply chain volatility of lithium) are making it the preferred “green” alternative for utility-scale projects. | That gives Eos a differentiated angle in a market where utilities and data-center operators need safer, scalable storage. |
| Strong backlog and liquidity | Eos ended 2025 with a backlog of roughly $701.5 million (2.8 Gwh) and a sizeable cash position of $568 million after recent financings. | That gives traders a reason to believe the company has enough demand and capital to keep pushing toward scale. |
| Upcoming make-or-break triggers | Traders are watching the May 13 earnings report. This is the “make or break” date where investors will look for confirmation of the $56M revenue, the status of gross margin positivity, and Line 2 progress. | If execution keeps improving, the market may continue rerating the stock. If not, volatility could hit hard. |

Put it all together, and EOSE is looking less like just another speculative storage stock and more like a high-beta grid and AI power play with a story that may finally be starting to strengthen.
The story may be getting stronger, but the chart is what could determine whether this move has real staying power. Here are the bullish technical signals traders should be watching now.
Bullish Technical Signals
#1 Falling Wedge Pattern Breakout: EOSE had been carving out a falling wedge pattern over the past several weeks, visible via the converging purple trendlines on the daily chart. The stock has now broken above the upper boundary of this wedge, which is a classically bullish signal. Falling wedges are continuation/reversal patterns that reflect diminishing selling pressure: lower highs and lower lows compress into a tighter range as sellers exhaust themselves. The breakout signals that buyers have absorbed that supply and are beginning to assert control. Historically, this pattern often marks the final shakeout before a meaningful upmove.
EOSE – Daily Chart
#2 Price above MA: Price is now trading above the 50-day SMA, confirming short-term bullish momentum. This is meaningful for two reasons: first, it shows buyers are dominant on the near-term timeframe; second, the 50-SMA now flips to dynamic support – a level the market tends to defend on pullbacks, giving traders a logical reference point for stops.
#3 Bullish ADX: The ADX indicator is showing a constructive setup, with the +DI line above the –DI line (buyers controlling trend direction), and the ADX line itself turning up from below the –DI toward the +DI. ADX rising from a low base, especially crossing above the –DI, signals that a trend is not just present but actively gaining strength. This combination points to a high probability of an accelerating uptrend.
#4 Bullish Aroon: The Aroon indicator is flashing a clean bullish signal as Aroon Up (orange) is at 100 while Aroon Down (blue) sits near 7. When Aroon Up is above 70 and Aroon Down is below 30, it confirms a strong, established uptrend – price is consistently reaching new highs within the lookback period while sellers are essentially absent. At current readings, this is about as unambiguous a bullish Aroon configuration as you’ll see.
#5 Above Support Area: Zooming out to the weekly chart, EOSE has bounced from a key level (pink dotted line) that previously acted as resistance and has since flipped to support. This is a classic technical structure that adds conviction to the long case. Importantly, the stock is also holding above its 200-week SMA, which tells us the long-term trend remains intact.
EOSE – Weekly Chart
#6 %K above %D: On the weekly chart, the %K line (blue) has crossed above the %D line (orange) while emerging from oversold territory. This is a particularly powerful signal because it combines two conditions: a momentum crossover and a recovery from extreme selling pressure. The oversold origin suggests sellers have been exhausted at a major low, and the crossover confirms that buyers are now stepping in with enough conviction to shift the momentum. On a weekly timeframe, this kind of setup often precedes sustained multi-week moves.
#7 Bullish RSI: The weekly RSI is near the 50 midline and continues to climb. A rising RSI indicates a building bullish momentum, as it means buying pressure is not just present, but compounding.
Recommended Trade Setup
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Buy Level | Above approximately $8.30 |
| Price Target 1 | $11.00 Potential upside: 33% |
| Price Target 2 | $13.00 Potential upside: 57% |
| Timeframe | Next 2–6 months |
| Stop-Loss | $6.75 on a closing basis |

For a risk of approximately $1.55 per share, the target rewards are about $2.70 and $4.70 per share. That makes this roughly a 1:2 and 1:3 risk-reward trade. In other words, the setup offers nearly 2x to 3x more potential upside than downside.
Risks to Consider
Even strong setups can fail, especially in a high-beta growth name like EOSE. A few things could knock the stock off course:
- A breakdown back below the falling wedge breakout level on heavy volume
- Negative company-specific news or broader market weakness that pressures speculative clean-energy names
- Execution risk around manufacturing scale-up, especially if Line 2 fails to reach full-site acceptance on schedule, since the company’s revenue outlook depends heavily on that added capacity
- Continued operating losses, heavy cash burn, and the possibility of future capital raises or dilution
- Ongoing litigation tied to earlier guidance misses and production setbacks, which could remain an overhang in the near term
- Competition from lithium-ion and other battery technologies, especially if Eos struggles to prove cost and scalability at higher volumes
- Valuation concerns, since the stock still trades like a high-growth story even though execution and forecasting remain works in progress
The counterpoint is that many investors still view these issues as scaling pains rather than a broken story. Eos has a relatively strong cash position, record preliminary Q1 revenue, backlog conversion underway, and a differentiated zinc-based technology that may fit AI and grid-storage use cases well. Recent insider buying by CEO Joe Mastrangelo also suggests management still believes in the long-term story.
Happy Trading!
