HDD trade ideas
HD BounceHD on the 4-hour chart has reached its highs while being overextended beyond the bollinger band. It has also pulled away from its moving averages. This can cause a bounce off the highs which are acting as resistance trending back to the moving averages. I expect this to be a quick trade, with a 1-2 day turnaround.
Bearish Engulfing in HD on FridayBearish Engulfing in HD on Friday.
Stock tested upper resistance level of massive window but failed 2 times. This second time a bearish engulfing was formed. Short idea, with tight stop loss above pattern high @ 235,71 USD.
Target is set to last significant low of the former rally, which is at around 217,53 USD.
HD Long on SMA 200 bouncePros:
- FI and MACD both trace higher low even when the price is at lower low.
- RSI traced double bottom and RSI starting to slope up
- MACD histogram in weekly trend has alredy ticked down quite abit (lower potential downside)
- High potential profit if prices break above SMA200. Can realistically expect 4R-5R profits
Cons:
- Volume on red days still relatively high. Ideally would prefer a decline in red days volume as prices goes down for Long trade. I am betting on the SMA 200 holding based on FI, MACD and RSI
HD should be good for a post-dividend bounceHome Depot's momentum has definitely been slowing lately, and the stock dipped hard after its latest less-than-stellar earnings report. However, the stock often dips before its dividend and then bounces after. With the stock going ex-dividend today (0.63% quarterly yield), it may be time for a bounce buy. December is usually a good month for Home Depot stock, and November's strong housing and construction data favor Home Depot's earnings success in the next quarter. HD has a 7.8/10 analyst summary score, an average analyst price target of $239 per share, and more-bullish-than-usual options interest today.
