AI growth isn’t slowing down …
Most recently, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) spiked to new all-time highs on Tuesday, August 5, after an impressive earnings announcement that was driven by AI and high demand for efficient software systems.
- The company’s revenue grew 48% and passed $1 billion for the first time in a single quarter.
Look at the PLTR chart below, every candle represents one trading day:

The continuous strength of this sector is mind boggling.
Especially when we consider the huge shift in the energy sector that’s underway to accommodate this AI growth.
There’s a quiet rumbling in the market. But it’s growing louder every week.
Look at the recent headlines below:


And a lot of these new energy plays are much cheaper than the AI runners that started in 2023 …
For example, PLTR spiked 9% on Tuesday and reached $176 per share. But little-known solar stock Solarmax Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SMXT) spiked 160%* and only reached $2.50 per share … so far.
I traded SMXT already this week for a 17% profit. Look at the breakout from Tuesday morning below.
Every candle represents one trading minute:

The best trades right now come from cheap stocks with relation to the AI sector.
And SMXT is just one example …

How I Traded SMXT
I use the same patterns on every stock that I trade.
These trade patterns repeat in the market because people are predictable during times of high stress.
Like when they have a few thousand dollars in a stock that’s spiking +100%.
These stocks can run to insane heights, but they also come with a risk …
Volatility is a double edged sword. And a poorly timed or ill-informed trade can be very dangerous for a trader’s account.
My trade patterns keep my account safe while I profit from bullish momentum on the hottest stocks.
For example, on Tuesday, August 5, I pulled a $1k profit from SMXT as it spiked 160%*.
During premarket hours, the company announced a $127 million battery storage contract in Texas. The stock immediately started to spike when the news was announced.
And that’s when it showed up on the “Top % Gainers” scan in StocksToTrade.
I even laid out my trade plan in the Challenge chat beforehand. Look at my post below:
Beautifullllllll short squeeze on $SMXT I'm glad to take a piece of this one, nailed it in my https://t.co/M7k2isygSF chat before I even dip bought in the $1.80s, such a nice runner, thank you short sellers for making it happen, we love you guys soooooo much, especially lately! pic.twitter.com/aLG2S9BJdx

Here are my trade notes:

And here’s my trade overlaid on the chart. Every candle represents one trading minute:

This price action is not random.
The most volatile stocks like to follow specific patterns.
And in this AI market boom, the potential for gains is unmatched.

More AI Energy Stocks
Most of the market would turn their nose up at the thought of renewable energy as a key part of the U.S. energy infrastructure.
But since the advent of AI, experts forecast a much larger rate of energy consumption. And the market has gradually changed its tune …
Similar to the production of Bitcoin, AI requires sophisticated and intensive computation power.
One of the main constraints of these systems is the amount of energy that’s necessary.
Major AI CEOs, like Open AI’s Sam Altman, have backed nuclear projects to try and solve this supply issue. But there isn’t a true answer yet.
That’s why we’re also seeing spikes from solar stocks like SMXT.
At this point … every solution is still on the table.
The two main nuclear stocks to watch with a connection to AI are:
- NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR)
- Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO)
Both stocks are trading near their all-time highs.
And SMXT is the most recent +100% energy stock spike, but there will be more!
Keep an eye on the StocksToTrade scans and get ready for the next breakout setup.
Cheers
