What to Watch Next Week

Every theme this week was tagged as recurred, and each was strong on only one day. The open question is whether any of them can put together more strong sessions.

EV gained 4.45% on Apr 11, and a Korean news report linked the move to Tesla’s strong reception. Battery rose 3.94% on the same day, so it is worth seeing whether the two keep moving together.
