This morning, the first trading day of 2023, I ran my S&P 500 spike scan like every morning. The spikes were skewed heavily to the bearish side with 99 Bearish Spikes and only 1 Bullish Spike. That spike was HSIC NASDAQ:HSIC . I like the context of this price action happening at the 50% Retracement of the bear move from the All Time High down to the October...
BITSTAMP:ETHUSD fired off a spike signal on the 2 Hour timeframe (see below for trading timeframe). The context is that price is now back at the pre-FTX collapse high of November 5th, 2022. This is a key resistance and a price volatility spike at this level is significant and worth playing a short pullback from the January 2023 trend.
I carved out a win today on NYSE:PSA to start a trend off the Weekly 50% Level. This has a chance to run based on the technical setup as well as a possible secular bull trend if one believes people will need to store their stuff into a housing crunch. The initial trade began on a 30 minute timeframe spike (which unfortunately was not caught on Tradingview...
I sold off some of my long term LMT holdings last week before EOY to capture some capital gains. LMT was a big winner of 2022 up over 37% and price was stalling at the All Time High. This morning I received an alert for an opening price spike that created a critical low at 469.35. This is not a spike I would take as a reversal to go long. Rather, I am watching...
The price action of 2022 has been dominated by inflation related news. The start of the recent rally began with the October CPI print where an expected 8.3% came in at an actual 8.2%. This was a slight change but the first sign that inflation may have peaked and thus the Fed might pivot from their interest rate hikes. The market has loathed higher interest...
This morning's 10am scan yielded bullish price action spikes on both AMD and INTC. I like the level that Intel NASDAQ:INTC is holding to for a swing trade. The first target will be a retest of this week's high. In the longer term after a very long bearish trend the chip makers have begun to turn. It is somewhat "late" in the turn from October but there are...
NYSE:UPS Triggered a spike alert this morning which is happening at the 50% Retracement of the Post Earnings Rally. (see below for Daily higher timeframe context) These are the real "earnings plays" that can yield positive returns rather than trying to buy a guess on the day before. Trying to buy or sell the day before earnings is a guess but very often...
For certain stocks I have Spike alerts setup on multiple timeframes to find opportunity. Today a Spike Alert triggered on the 2 Hour Swing Timeframe for NYSE:JPM . Where this spike in the opening morning price is occurring is at the 50% Pullback to the post Earnings rally. I was able to put on a position at the 50% proper this afternoon. This sets up a very...
Notable figures such as Michael Burry and Puru Saxena have taken opposing sides on what this rally means. I enjoy how Burry made a very hedged statement... noting that at 23% it was within average but did not imply the Nasdaq's rise itself predicted the future. Puru took a more affirmative view that this was more than a bear market rally. Today's intraday...
The asset has now gained great bullish momentum on the load zone. The volume kept over the average amount since the violation of its midterm resistance labeled as R1. For BTC condition and its effect on the shitcoins check out BTC roadmap below...
Fedex NYSE:FDX is the latest stock on my radar to do a 50% Retracement from the COVID low to All Time High at 204.30. This morning there was a price volatility spike on the 30 minute timeframe (see below) to trigger attention to the setup. I am going to give it a wide berth to play the weekly level but start the position on today's down day.
Bank of America stock NYSE:BAC had a swing trading Spike on earnings today (see below). The spike on earnings is a catalyst I like to look for as a potential risk defined long BUT it is occuring within price action at no clear prior support level. The broad COVID > High 50% Retracement is down at 34. It will still be worth watching today's Daily close to see...
The asset has now arrived at a great load zone and can make a massive breakout. The recent Volume since the violation of R1 has been extremely bullish.
Entered an exploratory long inside the recent consolidation of the Ethereum/Bitcoin cross. This trade expresses my thesis that Ethereum is becoming the dominant coin in the cryptocurrency space and should continue the recent trend of appreciating against Bitcoin. BITFINEX:ETHBTC has recently been caught between two major Retracement levels and this...
Back in February Facebook/Meta NASDAQ:FB dropped over -20% on earnings. This was crazy for such a big profile, mega-cap company and many investors though (and said) "Facebook can't possibly go lower" and used this justification to buy right on the drop. From a technical standpoint that drop blew past support and with so many people saying "Facebook can't go...
Jarvis is once again over the load-zone. the recent volume since the violation of R1 is an indication of bulls in power for a move to the following targets. Previously...
Palantir NYSE:PLTR has performed a pullback from the recent rally. This came to my attention from a spike alert and it is happening at a 50% Retracement. This is a followup to my initial entry on March 15, 2022 when no one was talking about Palantir stock anymore (see below). This time in addition to the options position is purchased shares to hold for the long run.
I am late putting this into idea but last week I entered a position on the Australian Dollar / Canadian Dollar short off a Daily price spike. This spike occurred at the 50% Retracement of the last full year's bearish trend.
