UPST trade ideas
UPST Short Squeeze Could be a dead cat. But the RR is great. UPST is currently under attack my shorts, and they have been BURNED by this stock. Nevertheless, they'll need to take profits soon, after UPST is in a clear panic sale. This bubble stock has high volatility, so trade accordingly. NASDAQ:UPST
UPSTART Stock Chart Fibonacci Analysis 081423 Trading Idea
1) Find a FIBO slingshot
2) Check FIBO 61.80% level
3) Entry Point > 31.1/61.80%
Chart time frame : B
A) 15 min(1W-3M)
B) 1 hr(3M-6M)
C) 4 hr(6M-1year)
D) 1 day(1-3years)
Stock progress : A
A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance
B) 61.80% resistance
C) Hit the bottom
D) Hit the top
Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern.
When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point.
As a great help, tradingview provide these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved.
If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks.
If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.
$UPST relief rally?NASDAQ:UPST price action indicates that there might be a relief rally coming soon.
1. Inverted hammer on daily
2. Two candles outside the lower end of BB
3. Bullish divergence on daily and 4h
I could see this testing the 28-30 levels but should see a decent pump form here. I would wait few more days to consolidate/form the bottom
$UPST - Possible mega gapperI have only 1 day's worth of DD on this symbol on my belt so i'd consider this to be more of a gamble than anything.
My data shows a Wykcoff distribution towards the last leg where the distribution would start to move downwards. If it's correct, tomorrow we'll see a really big gapper down on UPST around the $23-$33 range
Honestly i'm really skeptical of this trade but i have thrown a part of this month's salary on it by being long short UPST. This trade doesn't make a lot of sense and is likely to go extremely wrong for me, but i'm in and i'm going to try it simply because i need to test my theory based on my own data.
The best way to test a hypothesis is to just test it... I have skin in the game now... let's see how this goes.
I wouldn't follow me into this trade. This is just an idea based on very little data i've looked at and DD i've done. Basically, the company's fundamentals are in a really bad spot which is a perfect time for the company to suddenly announce something silly like debt restructuring which would make it's price go up a lot when everyone else expects it to go down.
E.g i think my short will be blown up by "Unforseen circumstances", but alas, let's see...

This chart shows the weekly candle chart of UpstartHoldings' stocks in the past six months. The graph overlays the recent bottom-up golden section. As shown in the figure, the recent high point of UpstartHoldings' stock has reached its low point in January 2022, but it has not given it the 2.382 gold split in the figure! The stocks of UpstartHoldings are currently in the second small band of accelerated growth after a double dip, and there is still a lot of upside space in the later stage! In the future, it is likely to continue to strengthen after retreating from the 1.382 position of the golden section in the chart!
This AI Startup has lots of potential!Upstart is a Loan Provider that uses AI to automate the Process of giving out Loans, this reduces the costs drastically, so they are much cheaper and a lot more profitable .

The Stock formed a rising Channel but broke down a few days ago and is now retesting the Parabolic Curve. If Upstart goes below the Curve it will probably go down to a Range between 20-30 Dollars . On August 8th the Quarter Results will be published and they will probably be negative. I will update you!
Have a nice Day!
Pre-Earnings Run in $UPSTNASDAQ:UPST has been running up speculatively after completing its bottom. It has mostly retail groups and smaller funds holding so that is why the stock has up and down days in an irrational trend pattern often. HFTs are in the mix regularly inspiring the speculation.
The company reports Monday of next week. Looks like Pro Traders used a swing trading earnings strategy and some took profits ahead of the report.
The stock has a low percentage of the shares held by institutions, so emotional trading candlestick patterns are problematic at times. It's important to buy and sell with the Pro Trader patterns in speculative stocks.
UPST mid-term VIEW Pre Earning LONGUPST on the daily chart with 2022-2023 in range shows a downtrend of more than 70% and
now a round bottom reversal. The volume profile shows the high volumes of the high volume
area which is relatively thin and mostly below the current price. That is to say, UPST has a
lot of volume voids to fill on its way back to $162 . The Triple EMA ( 200,100,50) shows
a convergence over a long interval followed by the reversal and now divergence. The
MACD indicator is upgoing as are the trends of the dual RS lines of the RSI indicator. I see
this as a long swing trade or investment while UPST is awaiting earnings next month.
For targets, I plan the red lines generated by the volume profite and so $94 and $161.
UPST is on my current favorite stock list. My current holding includes an option striking $51
for 8/4. I will roll that option over about 8/2 to avoid time decay. Additionally,
I will buy another option striking $75 and expiring on 9/15 costing about $950 at the
market price with the bid/ask spread of about 4%. I expect the combined two call optins
will yield on average 5-7% per trading day and may hold them through the earnings period.
The only downside risk is that an earnings beat is somehow already priced into UPST
and that the momentum will decelerate and fade. Buying the contact cheap and out of
the money seeks to manage that risk.
UPST ready to run higherUPST on the daily chart is 65% below its highs of March 22 . It rose above the long term POC
line of the volume profile two months ago after a favorable earnings report. Another earnings
will report in a month. There has been very little trading above the current price in the visible
range. This means there is little volume resistance to price rise. Price is presently at the
longterm mean VWAP anchored 16 months in the past and got there by rising from the support
of the line one standard deviation below the mean aVWAP. On the zero-lag MACD, the lines
have first crossed under the histogram and then ascended in parallel above the zero line in
yet another sign of bullish momentum. Lastly, the three in one indicator including money
flow is all green.
I readily conclude that UPST is set up well for a long swing trade targetting just below the
mentioned swing highs and so $160 or so. This would be about 200% while setting a stop loss
at $50. I believe the trade offers a great potential reward to risk and so will open this
position while identifying an entry on the 15-30 minute chart looking for a pivot low.
UPST wants your attentionMade some money on calls as I like how this is acting and surely benefits from any rate favorability sentiment, looks worthy of starting a long position but I'll probably wait until after earnings on 8/8. They need to show the business can adjust to current conditions so watching the fundamentals but chart looks good.
$UPST Back On TrackThe AI lending giant Upstart Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPST) is up more than 150% since last month due to a short squeeze after sharing positive Q1 earnings. Considering the improving macro environment, UPST stock can continue squeezing especially with the Fed potentially pausing rate hikes this year. With the FOMC meeting scheduled for June 13th and 14th, UPST stock could soar on a dovish pause.
UPST Fundamentals
Rate Hike Pause
Since UPST is an AI fintech company, it is well-positioned to benefit from both the increasing interest the AI sector has been seeing recently and the expectations that the Fed will pause rate hikes in June as a hike pause can help UPST in more than one way.
For starters, demand for UPST loans may increase as people and institutions become more willing to take loans as interest rates stabilize and the macroeconomic climate improves. Secondly, because the interest rate appears to be approaching its peak, financial institutions might be more willing to buy loans held by UPST.
On that note, Castlelake has previously committed to purchasing up to $4 billion in consumer installment loans from Upstart, which indicates Castlelake’s confidence in UPST and its belief in the potential of the consumer credit and specialty finance sector.
The loan purchase also addresses UPST’s concerns about keeping loans on its balance sheet and demonstrates that UPST can sell more loans in the future.
Disturbing The Market Through AI
UPST’s main selling point is its AI loan assessment tool, which the company claims is significantly more accurate than traditional lending models like Fair Isaac Corporation’s (NYSE: FICO). That may be true since UPST’s model outperformed FICO’s model in categorizing loans into different risk grades by a fair margin.
Furthermore, 84% of UPST’s loans are automated with no human intervention whatsoever which is the highest in the industry. UPST is also retaining an outstanding 83 net promoter score (NPS) with brands like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) that are known for their loyal customers only standing between 61 and 68 between different products.
If UPST can prove to the banking sector that its loan assessment model is better than other models like FICO’s that might see UPST’s current PPS as a bargain.
Short Data
While short interest has decreased for UPST stock by almost 10% since February 2022, UPST stock is still seeing a high short interest rate despite the positive Q1 earnings and selling $4 billion of its loans to Castlelake in May.
UPST stock is highly shorted with a short interest of 35.4% and 35.6% of its float on loan. At the same time, utilization rate remains high at 100% which may see UPST continue soaring if the Fed pauses rate hikes in June since short sellers might be forced to cover their positions.
UPST Financials
In its Q1 2023 report, UPST’s assets decreased 5% QoQ from $1.9 billion to $1.8 billion, and its cash and cash equivalents decreased 8% QoQ from $422 million to $387 million. UPST’s total liabilities decreased by 5% QoQ from $1.26 billion to $1.19 billion.
Revenue also decreased 60% YoY from $313 million to $117 million. Operating costs decreased almost 15% from $275 million to $234 million, which contributed to the operating loss increase of 485% YoY from $34 million in operating income to $131 million in operating loss. As a result, UPST reported a net loss of $129 million – a 500% increase YoY.
Technical Analysis
UPST stock’s trend is bullish with the stock trading in an upwards channel. Looking at the indicators, the stock is trading above the 200, 50, and 21 MAs which are bullish indications. Meanwhile, the RSI is neutral at 58 and the MACD is approaching a bearish crossover.
As for the fundamentals, UPST stock could see a catalyst if the Fed decides to pause rate hikes at its June 14 meeting. In case of a pause, a short squeeze could occur to UPST stock due to the high short interest.
UPST Forecast
With the expectation that the Fed will pause rate hikes in June, UPST can expect to see higher demand for its loan assessment tool. UPST can also expect to see more financial institutions willing to buy loans held by it since the interest rate appears to be approaching its peak. If UPST can prove to the banking sector that its loan assessment model is better than other models like FICO’s, that could make UPST’s current PPS a bargain.
RSI DivergenceAn RSI Divergence occurs when price moves in the opposite direction of the RSI.
The slope of the RSI does not match the slope of price.
A Divergence can be bullish or bearish. Divergences always end up correcting it seems.
This one is bearish.
Some would use the peaks of RSI to spot a Bearish Divergence and the valleys to spot a Bullish Divergence.
Possible W pattern that may have terminated at the 1.414 of the 1st leg up.
This stock is not profitable as of yet, and I did not realize UPST had made such a run to the upside. Wacky market for sure.
Short interest is over 30%.
No recommendation.

securing half my UPST for about 84% in gains 💙Like I mentioned in last post, this is one of the few positions I actually held long for a swing.
We called the triple bottom bounce, trend breakout and even gave long trigger at 22 if you missed the dip entry 🔥
I will sell more of my shares either at 35 or if it goes to breakeven for some reason
After 35 a rally to 50 is possible, but we need some very very good news for that to happen. boost and follow for more. thanks 💙
