MRVL March 2024: A Fail Trade Long

Marvell Technology, Inc.NASDAQ

Description

On March 1, 24 I bought NASDAQ:MRVL (the purple arrow) as the stock broke out into its new 52-week high with relatively good volume after accumulation of nearly 2 months.

I then sold it on March 8, 24 as the stock down 11% after earnings.

It was a hard choice then because

  1. I rarely sell something which is still above its own MA-10
  2. Also, the stock is right at its MA-10, and just a little above the support.


I actually thought about waiting a little longer until the stock will go down the support to sell it. In that case I will lose an additional 4% which is also fine.

But I finally decided to sell for the following reasons.

  1. It was among the first chip stocks sold down hard.
  2. The volume on the down move was very strong, 2 times higher than the volume on break out.
