$COIN swing call idea from end of Sept has NEWS to draw buyers
The description below offers an example of a chart story. When you regularly watch a stock and observe how price and indicators change over time, you can create a story that leads to well-planned and successful trade ideas.
Between May and July price stalled and took its time to retest lows. While it did RSI was gradually rising. Eventually this led to a quick move up in price (August) and RSI tipped over 70. When RSI rises over 66.66 after being under 33.33, it is a sign that trend may be ready to change. Note this does not always hold true, as it is an advance sign that occurs before trend change confirmation.
In September, there was a stochastic buy notice when %K rose sharply over 3 days (orange box and arrow). This is my most reliable early indicator of a directional move to come. It is typical for this early strength move to see a reversal. When price fell (white box) it stayed above the summer range, RSI held bull support zone (green line), and there was bullish divergence (white ovals).
Before today's Google-related news spark, price broke the white downtrend line and held a higher low. Now, in the greater context of U.S. markets, I think a rally is imminent. As soon as there is a turning point up, COIN can at least move to 200sma. I am not long-term bullish on the stock right now; I see a nice swing call trade that can gain over the next few months if conditions support it.

Only taking a small position when I like lower timeframe. VIX is elevated so caution

Day trade - Bought calls when price dipped to 66-65 and sold when COIN was ~71.80.
