AI stock chart analysis for the tickers you trade.

Every chart gets the same four parts in the same order, whether it is an index ETF or a small cap. On a stock, what changes is what the numbers mean: a level is a dollar price on your axis, and the invalidation is the price where the structure you are leaning on gives way. The category overview, with the same read on crypto and forex, is on AI chart analysis.

The trend, on the timeframe you captured

A daily NVDA chart and a 5-minute NVDA chart answer two different questions. The read describes the swing structure in the image you sent, higher highs and higher lows, lower ones, or a range, and says which one it sees.

Levels as prices on your axis

When the right-hand price axis is legible, levels come back as prices you can find on your own chart, such as a prior swing high or the edge of a gap, rather than a vague "near recent highs".

Both scenarios

A continuation case and a reversal case, each with the condition that would set it in motion. The read argues with your bias instead of repeating it back to you.

The invalidation

The price at which the structure the read describes stops being true. On a stock that usually means a close beyond a level on the timeframe you read, not a single wick through it.

Pre-market, regular session, after-hours

US stocks trade in three main windows, all quoted in Eastern Time. The regular session is fixed; the extended-hours windows depend on your broker, commonly from as early as 4:00 a.m. to the open and from the close to 8:00 p.m. ET, and some brokers add an overnight session on top. Whether those candles appear on your chart is a setting, and the read can only work with the candles in the image.

Pre-market, before 9:30 a.m. ET

Thin volume and wide spreads make pre-market highs and lows noisy, but traders still watch them. They only exist in your screenshot if the chart draws extended-hours candles, so turn that setting on when you want those levels read.

Regular session, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET

Most of the volume trades here and most charts default to it. The previous regular-session close is the reference a gap is measured from, so keep at least the prior day in the capture.

After-hours, from 4:00 p.m. ET

Where many earnings reactions begin. A move that happens after the close appears on an intraday chart with extended hours on, and on a daily chart only as the next session’s open.

Say which one you captured. A 5-minute chart with extended hours on and the same chart with them off show different highs and lows for the same day, and unless the session shading is visible the read cannot tell which setting you used. A short note with the upload, such as “extended hours on, times in ET”, removes the guess.

Gaps and earnings

A gap is the empty space between one session’s close and the next session’s open. On a stock it usually comes from news that landed while the regular session was closed, and earnings are the most common case: companies report before the open or after the close, so the reaction shows up as a gap at the next regular open.

On the chart, a gap is a pair of levels. The prior close and the first prints of the new session are prices the read can name, and when those candles are in the image it can describe whether price is holding beyond the gap, drifting back into it, or extending away from it. Gaps from earlier reports stay on a daily chart for months, which is why a wide daily capture is worth more before a report than a tight intraday one.

What the image does not carry is the report itself: the date, the numbers, the guidance. A clean structure on the daily chart two days before a report can be erased by the open after it. Check the date on your broker’s calendar, or ask Lynx in chat, and add it to the note. For the other half of the work, see AI earnings report analysis and how gap trading works.

The tickers US traders bring most

The read works the same on any symbol, but what is worth capturing depends on how the stock trades. Four common cases:

SPY and QQQ

The index ETFs are the context for every single-stock read. Capture both on the same timeframe: when one breaks a level and the other does not, that divergence is the information.

NVDA

Capture a daily chart wide enough to include the last earnings gap, so its edges are in the image if price comes back to them. A chart that starts after the gap cannot show those levels.

TSLA

Wide daily ranges mean an intraday chart covers a lot of price in a few hours. Pair the 5-minute capture with a daily one so the higher-timeframe levels are in view too.

AAPL

One of the largest holdings in QQQ, so its chart and the index chart often rhyme. Read them side by side and ask whether AAPL is leading the index or lagging it.

Any broker, or TradingView

The read works on an image, so it does not matter which app drew the chart: Robinhood, Webull, thinkorswim, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation or TradingView. Bullynx never connects to a brokerage account. You upload a picture, and the account, the positions and the orders stay where they are.

Three capture rules hold on every platform. Keep the ticker and the timeframe in the frame so the read can name them. Keep the right-hand price axis legible, because the axis is what turns a described zone into a price. Crop out the order ticket and the watchlist, which take pixels away from the candles and add nothing to the read.

What it cannot do with a stock chart

Six limits, stated plainly. A stock read that pretends to know your account or the next candle is worse than no read at all.

• See pre-market or after-hours candles your chart hides, or anything outside the crop
• Know when the company reports from the chart alone. The date is not in the image; Lynx in chat (Pro and Elite) can look it up for you
• Read fundamentals, analyst targets, short interest or the order book. It reads a price chart
• Check live price. The read describes the moment you captured, and a stock can travel a long way in an hour
• Connect to Robinhood, Webull, Schwab or any broker, see your positions, or place an order
• Tell you whether to enter. You get two scenarios and an invalidation level, not a call

A read before the open, and one after the close

The habit that holds up is two captures a day per ticker. Before 9:30 a.m. ET, a daily chart of the index and of each stock on your list, so the levels and the invalidation are written down before the first print moves you. After 4:00 p.m. ET, the same daily chart again, to see which level the session respected and which one it ran through.

If you trade options on these names, the chart work is the same and the limits are stricter: see AI options chart analysis. If you want the read turned into an entry zone, an invalidation and targets, see the AI trade plan generator, and what each plan includes is on Bullynx pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI analyze stock charts?

Yes, from a screenshot. Capture the chart with the ticker, the timeframe and the price axis visible, upload the image, and the read returns the trend on that timeframe, the key levels as prices, a continuation and a reversal scenario, and the invalidation point. It works on any US stock or ETF and on any app that draws the chart.

What does an AI stock chart analyzer actually look at?

The pixels of the chart: candle bodies and wicks, the swing highs and lows, where price reacted more than once, the indicators drawn on the chart such as moving averages, RSI or volume, and the numbers on the price axis. It reads structure from that image. It does not read a balance sheet, an earnings report or the order book.

Does the analysis include pre-market and after-hours?

Only if your chart shows them. Extended-hours candles are a chart setting on most platforms, and the read works on the candles in the image. If you trade the pre-market high and low, turn extended hours on before you capture, and say so in the optional note so the read does not mistake a pre-market high for a regular-session one.

Can AI predict how a stock will move after earnings?

No. A chart shows where price has been and which levels mattered, not what a report will contain or how the market will price it. What a read can do before earnings is mark the levels that sit on either side of the current price and the gap edges from previous reports, so you know in advance which prices matter if the stock gaps.

Which timeframe should I screenshot for a stock?

Two, read from the top down. A daily chart covering a few months shows the structure and the levels that matter for days or weeks. An intraday chart, 5 or 15 minutes, shows the session you are about to trade. Capturing only the intraday chart hides the levels the daily chart would have shown you.

Does it work with Robinhood, Webull or Schwab charts?

Yes. The read works on an image, so it does not matter which app drew it: Robinhood, Webull, thinkorswim, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation or TradingView. Nothing connects to your brokerage account. Keep the ticker and the price axis in the screenshot and crop out the order buttons.
