Moving Averages
Small cap is the flavor of the day - Long at 4.05I decided to do a small cap stock today. I don't use too many of these as ideas, though I do trade them on my own. I don't usually publish about them because they are inherently more risky than large cap, established stocks. And to be fair, RBBN has a spotty history from a chart perspective.
Go ahead and zoom on out all the way. See that? That's what danger looks like. This stock has lost 80% of its value in the last 10 years, and 50% in the last 4. However, in its defense, it is profitable on a reported earnings basis over the last 12 months, and has held its own for several years now, and that's why I'm not AS nervous as I might otherwise be publishing this.
Additionally, it's solidly above its 200MA and in both a 1 year and 2 month uptrend, so its recent strength is good. I haven't dug down all the way back to its debut, but I suspect I'd have at the very least had a challenge making money on this one over its entire existence. But I am not trading its entire existence today. 75% of the trades in this stock in the last year would have closed in under 2 weeks, so the short term picture is what I'm mostly looking at here, and over the last month or so this has been a very solid stock. Could that change tomorrow? Yup. But I don't have that crystal ball. All I can do is rely on the system that has of late produced excellent results here.
In the last 12 months, there have been 27 buy signals here. 25 closed profitably and 2 are still open and down 18% and 9%, respectively. INCLUDING the losers, however, the median daily return on those trades has been .48% (>10x the market avg) and the average daily return is 1.02% (> 23x the avg daily market return).
Trading is about balancing risks and rewards. This stock is riskier than most, but the rewards are a lot better, too. I don't put all my money into any one trade - that's a TERRIBLE idea. The vast majority of my open trades are relatively safe, large cap stocks. But risky has its place in a portfolio. I made 15% in 2 days recently on QUBT (I posted that trade here) and made almost 18% on NUTX in the last 2 days - just closed that trade today. As a % of my portfolio of trades, ones like that can be small positions, but make a meaningful impact. That's my hope for RBBN here.
Of the 25 winning trades in the last year, over half produced a gain of 4% or more. And the average holding periods of the winners was only 8 days, with 15 of the 25 closing in a week or less. That rapid return also reduces the risk in a stock like this one. Wnen you only stick around for a few days most of the time, it's harder (not impossible) to get caught holding the bag during a drop.
My close will be signal based, and not a particular price target, but the trades I referred to above on RBBN give a good outline. However, the 2 losers have been open since February, so be forewarned that IF you follow me on this one, you might need to buckle your chinstrap. It could get bumpy.
As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing and why, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.
Zscaler May Be OversoldZscaler recently climbed to a three-year high, and now it’s pulled back.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the May 30 gap after earnings and revenue beat estimates. That may reflect positive fundamentals.
Second, the cybersecurity stock has retraced half the move following results. Stabilizing here may confirm direction is pointing higher.
Third, prices are trying to stabilize near the rising 50-day simple moving average.
Fourth, stochastics have dipped to an oversold condition.

HUYA | HUYA | Long at $2.61HUYA NYSE:HUYA operates game live streaming platforms in China. This stock got my attention based on the reported fundamentals and price position, but moderate "Chinese delisting" risks exist given the US's new political administration.
Book Value = $3.23 (Undervalued)
Forward P/E = 4.1x (Growth)
Debt-to-equity = 0x (Healthy)
Quick Ratio = 1.56x (Healthy)
Altman's Z Score = <1.8 (Bankruptcy risk is relatively high)
From a technical analysis perspective, the stock price momentum has shifted upward based on the historical simple moving average. The price often consolidates within and slightly outside of this simple moving average band before progressing higher (after a long period of selling). While near term-declines are a risk, a longer-term hold (if the fundamentals do not change and delisting doesn't occur) may pay off given the value, growth, and overall health of the company.
Thus, at $2.61, NYSE:HUYA is in a personal buy zone.
Targets into 2028:
$3.45 (+32.2%)
$5.80 (+122.2%)
Elevance Health | ELV | Long at $286.00What are seeing in the healthcare and health insurance provider industry right now is destruction before a once-in-a-lifetime boom. The baby boomer generation is between 60 and 79 right now and the amount of healthcare service that will be needed to serve that population is staggering. Institutions are crushing them to get in - it's just near-term noise, in my opinion. My personal strategy is buy and hold every healthcare opportunity (i.e. NYSE:CNC , NYSE:UNH , NYSE:HUM etc).
Elevance Health NYSE:ELV just dropped heavily due to lower-than-expected Q2 2025 earnings, a cut in full-year profit guidance from $34.15-$34.85 to ~$30 EPS, and elevated medical costs in Medicaid and ACA plans. It's near-term pain (may last 1-2 years) which will highly likely lead to long-term growth. The price has touched my historical simple moving average "crash" band. I would not be shocked to see the price drop further into the $260s before a rise. However, the near-term doom could go further into the year. I am anticipating another drop to the "major crash" simple moving average band into the $190s and $220s to close out the remaining price gaps on the daily chart that occurred during the COVID crash. Not to say it will absolutely reach that area, but it's locations on the chart I have for additional buys.
Thus, at $286.00, NYSE:ELV is in a personal buy zone (starter position) with more opportunities to gather shares likely near $260 before a bounce. However, if the market or healthcare industry really turns, additional buys planned for $245 and $212 for a long-term hold.
Targets into 2028:
$335.00 (+17.1%)
$386.00 (+35.0%)
Alibaba Breaks a TrendlineAlibaba began 2025 with a big rally. Now, after a long pullback, some traders may see further upside in the Chinese tech giant.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the pair of higher lows (marked with white arrows) along the rising 200-day simple moving average. Those may reflect the development of a longer-term uptrend.
Second, BABA peaked above $148 in March. It was the highest price since November 2021. That may suggest a long-term downtrend is fading.
Third is the series of lower highs in May and June. The stock broke that falling trendline this week, a potential sign of improving price action in the short term.
Next, MACD is rising and the 8-day exponential moving average is nearing a potential cross above the 21-day EMA. Those could be viewed as further positive short-term signals.
Finally, BABA is an active underlier in the options market. (Volumes have averaged more than 200,000 contracts per session in the last month, according to TradeStation data.) That may help traders take positions with calls and puts.

3 Reasons Why Goldman Sachs (GS) Still Looks Bullish🚀 3 Reasons Why Goldman Sachs (GS) Still Looks Bullish (Despite a Bearish Candle)
Goldman Sachs is in a bullish trend, but the latest candlestick is flashing a warning. Here's why GS still looks strong — and what to watch for next 📈
1️⃣ Candlestick pattern – long upper shadow
The long upper shadow shows sellers pushed the price down from the highs, signaling resistance. While bearish short-term, it often happens during strong trends as the market breathes before pushing higher.
2️⃣ High volume on a bearish candle
The negative volume shows resistance, but it may actually represent bear exhaustion. High volume without a breakdown
suggests bears tried to push it down — and failed. Classic fake-out.
3️⃣ Volume oscillator still rising
Despite the pullback candle, the volume oscillator is holding above zero and trending up, showing momentum is still on the bulls' side.
🔥 Rocket Booster Strategy still intact
✅ Price above 50 EMA
✅ Price above 200 EMA
⚠️ Just a temporary shakeout? If the next candle confirms support, GS may continue the bullish push.

ATAI bulls look primed for another leg upATAI gave us the highest close we've seen in nearly 3 years today as bulls closed at high of the day approaching resistances from the gap up on July 1st. Today saw 2x the volume traded yesterday which is a great sign when looking for daily continuation.
Anticipate resistance at 2.81. 3.00, 3.01, and weekly 200 SMA
Red flag from here would be to fail at 3.00 and reverse to break below 2.53.

MASTERCARD Best buy entry now. Target $625.Mastercard (MA) has been trading within almost a 3-year Channel Up that only broke (but recovered naturally) during Trump's trade war. Still, the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) contained the downfall, as it always had.
Normally the Bearish Legs of this pattern tend to find Support on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), as the latest one did 3 weeks ago. Now that the price is trading still on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level, it historically is the best buy opportunity, as per all previous Bullish Legs.
The Channel Up has always priced its Higher High (top) on at least the -0.236 Fibonacci extension. As a result, we are targeting $625.00 before the year ends.

Best Buy’s Lower HighsBest Buy fell sharply on “Liberation Day.” Now, after a modest rebound, some traders may see further downside risk.
The first pattern on today’s chart is July 10’s peak of $74.75. That was below the June high, which in turn was under May’s high. Such a succession of lower highs could indicate a bearish trend.
The potential topping behavior is also happening below the close on April 2, immediately before President Trump announced aggressive tariffs.
Third, prices are stalling near the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages. That may reflect a bearish long-term trend.
Finally, the retailer has returned below its 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages. That may suggest short-term trends have gotten more bearish as well.

EURAUD – Incoming Upthrust? Accumulation or Distribution? Chart Context:
EURAUD recently completed a sharp markdown after a textbook rising channel break. What’s interesting now is that price has entered what looks like a potential box range between 1.7768 and 1.7885.
I'm anticipating a possible upthrust move into the 1.788x zone — and what follows will reveal the true intent.
Here’s the internal debate:
Are we looking at reaccumulation — smart money trapping shorts before driving higher in line with broader money flow?
Or is this a distribution — where the market builds a false sense of support before deeper downside?
🔍 What tips the scale for now is this:
>The overall money flow direction (via volume patterns + structure) has leaned bullish, so I’m favoring accumulation with a shakeout scenario.
Signs I’m watching:
✅ Absorption volume near the bottom of the range
✅ Higher lows inside the zone
✅ Fake breakout / upthrust into prior structure
❌ Failure to hold above 1.7855 could flip the bias short-term
📉 Expecting one more dip to test demand, followed by range tightening, and if buyers show up strong — the breakout can get explosive.
What’s your take?
Are we prepping for a markup or will this fakeout and roll over?
"I go long or short as close as I can to the danger point, and if the danger becomes real, I close out and take a small loss"
$300k+: LVDT estimated BTC ATH target this cycle.According to my old LVDT indicator, BTC should reach $300k or even higher at ATH this cycle.
The real parabolic (banana zone) run will only start when BTC touches the thick red line again.
Time to gradually DCA sell every time BTC pierces significantly above the thick red line (signaling a potential point of Blow-off-Top).
I plan to be updating this tread from time to time as the chart progresses until the absolute "Sell" signal is triggered.
