Is Albemarle Trying to Break Out?Alternate energy has shown relative strength since the Inflation Reduction Act took effect in August. Lithium provider Albemarle is a potential beneficiary.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the trendline running along the highs of November and June. ALB ripped through that line three weeks ago before pulling back. It’s now attempting to bounce at the same area, which could mean old resistance has become new support.
Second, consider how the stock made a new 52-week high in late August. It was one of only eight members of the S&P 500 to achieve that feat at the time, according to TradeStation data.
Around the same time, ALB’s 50-day simple moving average (SMA) rose above its 200-day SMA -- a potentially bullish “golden cross.”
Next, the series of higher lows since March may reflect accumulation by longer-term investors. This longer-term trend is also visible in basing patterns on the weekly chart below.
Finally, the most recent pullback dragged ALB’s stochastic oscillator into an oversold condition.

$ALB New Up Trend?$ALB Looks to have started a new uptrend with a series of Higher Lows and Higher Highs. It looks to be right at a short-term resistance level. I have an alert just above today’s high which is also in the resistance area. If it can get over and close above 226 – 227 area, I will be looking to go long with a target area around 247. See markups on chart. This may be a good play for the EV space. Ideas, not investing / trading advice.
$ALB with a Bullish outlook following its earnings #Stocks The PEAD projected a Bullish outlook for $ALB after a Positive over reaction following its earnings release placing the stock in drift B with an expected accuracy of 50%.
ALB - Upward ChannelALB is within a strong upward channel on the Weekly chart
right now it is testing the upper band
A rejection may follow as has been seen in the past, leaving price to return to the 200MA in white
Price is still within a strong upward channel and should be treated bullishly
should see a small pullback 🦉ALB lower high on bigger timeframes and looking bearish on smaller ones as well.
we can target 244-229-215 in the next few weeks or so

$ALB Short IdeaALB big gap up before ER has me suspect... also technically it looks like FEB price action is still in a downward channel, and now there is a juicy gap below :)
I like the R/R on a short before ER's move.
Small size, picked up a few puts. Can also do bear spreads for less risk exposure.
$ALB#$ALB
At last yesterday broke the right shoulder high. And closed above too.
Today i will start a small position hopefully or on Monday depending on open today.
$ALB Getting BetterCheck my post on $ALB from last week.
This gotten better with the action last week.
Very nice head and shoulders bottom base on this one.
HigherPrice held long term up trend support and also broke the short term down trend! It should probably go back to test the previous high over the next few weeks/months ! Just my opiniom

$ALB Head and Shoulders Bottom$ALB looking like its rounding up the right side of its base while the market is making new lows.
Characteristics of TMLs.
Starting to look like a head and shoulders bottom. Just need to tighten up below that supply line.
Worthy of your watchlist.
Albemarle - Swing trade opportunityToday, an opening gap appeared on the daily chart of Albemarle; as a result, this offers an opportunity for a simple trade setup. We are currently bearish on Albemarle and expect a complete retracement of the opening gap. Therefore, we would like to set a price target for Alb at 198.44 USD.
Illustration 1.01
Albemarle opened up almost 7%.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI and Stochastic turned bullish. DM+ and DM- performed bullish crossover. However, we think these are false bullish signals. We conclude this from a low ADX value. The daily time frame is deceptive.
Illustration 1.02
The picture above shows the short-trade setup.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are all bearish. DM+ and DM- perform whipsaws, and ADX contains a low value. That indicates the presence of a very weak trend. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.

Lower!Price is now pushing down towards the 160 area level ! If you believe in the electric revolution, Albermale has a great potential due to its Lithium production (electric Batteries)! But just be patient and let the market come to you ! Just my opinion:)
Long ALB Corp.Long ALB at $203.75.
Bought some ALB shares when i opened up the chart today and saw it corrected down around 17%. Kind of knee-jerk reaction. I'm down after close today. Looking for a bounce at open or will ditch the play.
