Micron profits exploding 1,000% on AI demand — momentum play into earnings

Thesis

Micron's profits are surging because the AI boom requires massive amounts of specialized computer memory, and they are one of the main suppliers. Even with broader market fears driven by inflation and global conflicts, the demand for AI infrastructure remains relentless. As a result, Micron's upcoming earnings report could act as a major positive catalyst that breaks the stock out of the recent market slump.

Strategy approach

Build a long volatility strategy on Micron (MU). Monitor intraday volume on the 1H timeframe. Enter long if the price breaks above the previous day's high during the first 3 hours of the session, targeting a 5% move. Use a 2% fixed stop loss. Exit by end of day Friday if neither target nor stop is hit.
