AMEX:XLB a basic materials ETF has been basing for almost a year. Today it broke out just above the most recent flat base. As auto generated by this LevelUp chart. I have started a ¾ sized position as it is a slower mover so I can go bigger to start a position. My stop is just below the most recent low, which is just over a 5% stop loss. Ideas, not investing /...
Here is IWM bouncing off of the 5ema while also in the process of confirming an Daily inverse head and shoulders pattern. The inverse head and shoulders will be confirmed once price breaks 199.53 and this could give IWM a chance for continuation to $205+.
Let's take a look at the Russel 2000. This index seems to be the only one between the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P that is failing to break to new ATH while they are. What we're seeing is a triple top/triple resistance in Aug 2022, than again February 2023, and again August 2023 which was confirmed with a break down to the lows of October 2023 before more manipulation...
... for a 179.87 debit. Comments: Doing another one of these in March with a short call strike and cost basis better than what I currently have on at the 186. Selling the -75 delta call, buying a Johnny one lot to emulate a 25 delta short put in order to take advantage of call side IV skew. 3.13 max profit on BPE of 179.87; 1.74% ROC at max; .87% at 50%...
... for a 181.70 debit. Comments: Buying stock and selling the -75 call again to emulate a 25 delta short put that is "defense ready" via roll of the short call. 4.30 ($430) max on buying power effect of 181.70; 2.37% ROC at max; 1.18% at 50% max. Will generally look to take profit at 50% max and/or roll out the short call on price's traverse of the short call...
NYSE:TGI I have had my eyes on this one since the big volume breakout on December 21st. I did not want to chase it, so I have been waiting for a pullback and re-breakout. I have that this morning. See chart for notations. I started a one third size position here with a stop on any close below the breakout trendline. Ideas, not investing / trading advice....
$483 coming soon 💭... $470 by EOM.. I've got a repetition of July Top and Pullback in play here. Potential to lead to something much more serious.
MSFT saw a nasty reversal today. Closing down more than the Nasdaq. All indices close negative = broad market selloff. Powell comes out hawkish & sends market lower. All eyes on Apple tomorrow!
Epic Reversal on Microsoft: worlds largest company. All sectors sold off despite falling yields. Powell irradiates March rate cut. Dollar close to breaking out of bull flag pattern.
IWM is trying to break back out of the channel it's been in since April 2022. It broke out briefly in late December, but was rejected. This second breakout attempt looks promising, and usually leads to ATH after this much consolidation. Lots of earnings reports this week, but if the market holds up, small caps should have some room to run.
AMEX:BITO Kathy Woods AMEX:ARKW fund sold OTC:GBTC and bought $92mm AMEX:BITO yesterday. They also sold $COIN. There is the news. I am more of a technical trader, and I like the set-up on BITO here. I have started a one third size position in the anticipation of a break above the small consolidation area or pennant. My stop is tight, just below today’s low...
NYSE:XOM this is a remarkably simple U&R play. I have gone long with the undercut and today’s reversal from the low on December 12, 2023. That low was $97.48. It broke above that this morning. My stop is simple. If it closes below $97.48, I am out because it will tell me it is resuming the downtrend. Should it push higher tomorrow, I will add to my position. All...
The IWM(Russel 2000 ETF) is consolidating in what looks to be a Bull Flag and if it breaks out the target would take us to the top of the macro Ascending Channel which would take us to the resistance zone of $200-$210. If I had to guess I'd say IWM could likely make its way up to that level by the end of next week.
If we hold this gap area, I'm willing to bet that we might make it to $200. I just saw what NFLX is doing for earnings despite okay #s. Looking fwd to seeing what tomorrow brings. 0 *IWM = small caps (stockanalysis.com) **TSLA earnings after hours 1/24/24 - i remember when TSLA didn't participate in a rally post COVID. When ready to rip, it will rip!!!
NASDAQ:WYNN Looks like it may be breaking out over the horizontal area of resistance. The 40 Week MA is just above and would be nice if it can break above that too. It is above all shorter term Moving Averages including the 50 Day MA in red. Wynn is rated as an outperform or buy by many brokerage houses with price target well over $100 per share. I have started...
AMEX:FFTY looks to me like it is working on a VCP with volatility shrinking and forming a nice wedging pattern. I like this pattern “IF” or when the market turns positive. Here are the negative things I see, as of now it is trading below or right at the 18-month AVWAP. It is right at shorter term resistance. It is below the downward sloping wedge trendline. And...
... for a 183.65 debit. Comments: Doing things a little bit differently here, buying stock and selling the -75 delta call against to emulate the delta of a 25 delta short put, but with the ability to immediately defend the position with the short call, rather than waiting to roll the short put. First, the metrics: Max Profit: 3.35 ($335) Buying Power...
NYSE:LOW has been on a tear since its Oct 27 low. The volume of buying during December 13, 14 and 15th is amazing. We now have a nice 8-day consolidation going that has formed a bullish pennant. In addition, today is shaping up to be an inside day. I do not know which way this will break but I did put on a one-third size position today with a stop just below the...
