SFM can't go up foreverChart speaks for itself. On Log scale, this parabola was momentarily lost in June of this year and then recaptured. Could this go higher? For sure. I sold my position and will be looking to buy back shares around the 26-30$ range where the bearish divergence started forming. On the good side of things, this whole setup could become a gigantic cup and handle pattern by next year.
This high growth company has been great on the long side since 2022, but I do believe it's due for a correction.
Potential 24% upside Sold off after ER. I believe that this will close the gap and make it back $31 in 6 weeks.
22/2/2022 NASDAQ (SFM)Buy (Entry Price) within the buy zone area and exit (Stop Loss) below the red line. Can take profit at the suggested Target Price.
SFM long after earnings this weekI've been following this stock way too much. Great fundamentals, growth, leadership, they are buying back stock... but somehow they've broken the $25 support (maybe they ran out of money to buy back?). At least it looks like that to me. No matter how I slice it I'm having trouble making a bullish case in the short term. However I'm still targeting $28 in the near term. This chart shows how I think it could happen.
If you look back at their earnings in February, the short-term traders took the stock down nearly 5% the day after earnings. Combined with IV crush this would have been the perfect time to buy calls. Then reality set in that this company is making a lot of money, they announced buybacks, and the stock took off. I'm hoping the same thing happens again this week.
Assuming it drops to $23, the .786 retrace is right at $28.
SFM LevelsWe close below this range, I exit and reenter lower. We hold this level, we've cleaned out all the sellers and ride it. Enter at own risk. Biased with my sizeable percentage of shares.
$SFM. Not really sold on it. Not sure why I'm posting.It's showing some kind of bull flag/coiled spring, but it's not a fantastic picture. I don't really love it, and I'm heavily questioning everything I'm seeing. I can see why stimulants are so popular in trading/life in general. Without them this task is unenjoyable to the core.
Probably shouldn't post this, but just a little real-life energy comin' at ya. Man was not meant to sit in front of a computer for extended hours. This pressure to perform is just a little too much sometimes.

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKETS Estimates DailyHey guys, SPROUTS FARMERS MARKETS is in a bearish dynamic fake with a large buy volume executed and a large upside hammer candle. The TIMEFRAME shows a hammer candle with a fable buy volume issued, it came to give up the base of the bollinger. To go to the highest point, do a final test of it, then she goes to the VWAP and ends up on the top of the balance zone for a check. Strong possibility of breaking out the price with the momentum to come afterwards, the zone to settle on the new one and to land on the high which follows.
But impossible scenario too great a march to rise on the decline before the session, so the most important are the first two highs that can be observed on the TIMEFRAME H1. Not enough buying force to test the intermediate median of ANDREWS PITCHFORK.
Please LIKE & FOLLOW, thank you!
Go long SFM here – breakout to the upside imminentBollinger Bands getting tight, signaling a possible breakout soon. Heavy buying volume throughout the last week.
