$MXL — the weekly lid just broke. Used to be broadband. Tape is pricing optical. Infrastructure is now the largest segment. Keystone PAM4 DSPs into hyperscale scale-up/out. Q2 $169M, +55%. Q3 guide $210–220M. Optical DC 2026 raised to $210–230M. One hyperscaler ramp can add $150–200M annualized. Cap $8.5B. SCTR 99.9. Next print Oct 21. Left $15 in April, tagged $128, four months under a falling line. Closed $93.84 (+16%) on 18M and punched through it. Pivot $81.60. Next $105 / $128. Measured move +96.5% toward $184–$192. Oscillator still washed out — broke the lid with momentum still red. $81 has to hold the first retest. Optical ramping. Lid gone. $81 is the line. $192 is the extension. NFA.

$MXL Watch this. If it opens above the 50-day (red line) and breaks resistance with volume (vol was 2x on Friday), there is room to run. In my opinion, the stop loss is below the 50-day.

$MXL When this turned to positive momentum, it was too close to the 50-day (red line) to take a position, in my opinion, but once it gapped up on an open and touched the 50-day with a pop in volume, it was worth starting a position. Now that it cleared the 50-day with a 2x in volume, a probable uptrend is confirmed. If this opens positive Monday, it might be worth adding. The stop loss is under the 50-day.

$MXL This is showing positive momentum with the 5-day EMA (green line) trending above the 10-day SMA (yellow line). The box on the upper left shows the close in green at 63.49. The high of the day matches the close at 63.49, which is a good sign. Friday opened with a gap up, which is favorable. If Tuesday opens positively, I may consider a small position, but cautiously, since both that trend line and the 21-day (orange line) are nearby. If I enter a small position and it moves above both of those lines, there is room toward the 50-day (red line). Nothing is guaranteed, but that is where I would watch for a potential setup.
