INTC firming up a little....not a super strong look yet, but could be promising. Inside day - inside day - outside day If it can get a follow through 1-1-3-2u and keeps going, that would be nice. Let's open and see first. IF this THEN that. No predictions. TheStrat.
Outside week (once a 3 always a 3), follow through with a 2 up on the weekly. Pivot Machine Gun (PMG) potential up North. As long as it's green on the week, month and quarter Long it is. Beware: green, but still inside (1) on the month and quarter. Shooting for 120-130 area towards the end of the year, let's see how it plays out.
2u-2d on the daily exited a small OTM call play, as it didn't close above Thursday's high still 2u on the weekly, but <177.99 it's back into the weekly range... IF THIS THEN THAT if it takes out 177.99 and keeps going, next weekly pivot is 170.82 below that 167.62 (previous monthly low) #TheStrat
Played OTM NOV20 calls when NYSE:JPM FTFC flipped to green. Loads of #TheStrat elements now in this chart a week and a nice +130% later. Exited above the top of the tri (18 m's) after opening, when price stopped going higher and started to reverse. Broadening formation: higher highs, lower lows, higher highs. See how it took out 3 weekly pivots (in blue)...
JPM nice hammer week, FTC flipped to green. Not there yet, as in hammer week itself is not an actionable signal (yet) as per TheStrat. Above 145.88 and as long green, nice potential back up north with decent pivots on the weekly and if it can keep going 160 area during Q4. Let 'm open next week, keeping an eye on financials as well, also keep in mind JPM...
September was a losing month for many big names & QQQ. TImeFrameContinuty (TFC) back up, potential follow through with a couple of nice weekly pivots. No guarantees, but has a nice look to it. Let 'm open next week and see if aggressive buyers keep showing up amongst different participation groups (week, month and quarter).
Decent shooter on the 2D could signal a pull back on NASDAQ:AMZN , would be nice to see a reversal move up further North. With Monthly OPEX for May behind us, see how it moves from here. AMZN strong, but not the ultra strong move AAPL had so far on the year. Also giving it more potential before it reaches exhaustion risk like AAPL at current levels. No...
Can NYSE:OXY take out both pivots on the 2 Day chart? Would be a nice inside and Up as per #TheStrat
FWB:BACT - not the strongest close on the 2D, but I'm keeping an eye on this one. Potential move back up from the bottom of the tri on the 2W (a.k.a. broadening formation). Keeping in mind BAC is still one of the weaker brothers in the XLF...let's get back to that later, still work in progress (study sector ETF's vs individual names).
Apple one of the leading names so far on the year, still going strong. Especially after it took out high of last August (see 2W chart), now could face some exhaustion risk. On track to take out previous year high, let's see how it plays out. No chasing for me, not according to plan.
While initially looking for a long, this (potential) reversal on the 2-Weekly chart caught my eye. Now in 05/19 P 80, with 4 weeks (2x 2W) to go, let's see how this plays out. Can it take out 78.52 (?) worth a shot. For shorter term price action, I'm monitoring the 2D to weed out some daily noise. Keep an eye on Earnings beginning of May as well.
IF NASDAQ:INTC is actually losing steam THEN we might see the bottom of the tri.
Current environment seems hard to trade in. If you zoom out every now and then, you'll find a lot of Inside Quarterly candles, like $SPY. Not saying market is expected to go up or down, but it's seeking for a (clear) direction. Check your internals/sector ETFs, currently lots of inside's on the quarter: DIA IWM OIH SLX SMH XBI XHB XLB XLC XLE XLF XLI XLP XLU...
Ran into this 'AMD' concept on Twitter, never looked at charts as such. Can this NASDAQ:SMH Daily chart play out as such? Does it make sense to indicate Accumulation Manipulation and probable Distribution like this, or do we need more for this (?) Keeping an eye on it this way is harmless. Let's watch and see how it plays out. Always keep learning.
One of the most fascinating things about trading for me is that participants can see different things while looking at the same chart (i.e. data).... Bull flag or first steps towards bottom of the tri....?Just watch and see....
Exited $OXY 74 OCT14 calls last Friday for a decent +180%. Why? As it stopped going 2 up in green.
Will we take out last Month low (71.60) in August/September (?)
