AMEX:XBI I put this trade on yesterday morning as it broke above the short term downtrend line. However, I closed it near the end of day as the whole market was giving up its gains. (I did make a small profit). I am now back in it again as it regains the 20 EMA (green). My stop is just below today’s low which also corresponds with the 20 EMA. It looks like...

I have zoomed out to larger timeframes on AMEX:SPY to come up with some larger / longer timeframes. Here is what I started with; the weekly chart (shown) then zoomed out to the Monthly Chart (not shown) to draw the February 2009 trendline. I came back to the weekly to find the March 2020 trend. I then looked that the latest run starting in October 2023. That...

NYSE:DIS I have taken a long position here as DIS seems to be holding the 50 DMA (red). My stop is nearby, just below the low on April 16th. This is a very early entry as it is below the 8 and 21 EMA but just reclaimed the 5 DMA (white). The chart I am using is the All-In-One LevelUp tool available here on TV. Check it out. Ideas, not investing / trading...

NYSE:DELL I was in this 2 weeks ago and made good $$$. I closed it out on April 8th on the second big red bar. This morning as it opened over the 21 EMA, I put ½ size position on with a stop below Fridays low of $117.61. If the market holds up and moves higher, I expect it to test the previous highs. I am also aware that it could have been a double top, and this...

NASDAQ:PANW This cybersecurity leader got beat-up on the last earnings report. It looks to me that it may have bottomed out. On this weekly chart (the week is still young) it is in the process of setting up as an inside week. It is regaining the 40 Week MA which I view as important. Additionally, the volume has been declining since the big sell-off. I take that...

NYSE:U is a bottom fishing play for me this morning. It has both broken the downtrend line and can be considered an undercut and rally as it undercut the low of March 19 and has risen above it. My stop will be just below that March 19 low of $25.13 Giving me a nice risk reward stop. The chart I am using is the All-In-One LevelUp tool available here on TV. Check...

I have been tracking NASDAQ:ENPH for awhile now and I like how it is behaving this morning. I went long 1/2 size and already up $4.50 a share. It is now consolidating on the 5 min chart. I may add more. TBD. The chart I am using is the All-In-One LevelUp tool available here on TV. Check it out. Ideas, not investing / trading advice. Comments always welcome....

NYSE:RTX Well Fargo upgraded RTX yesterday and give it a $120 price target. I used this morning’s early pullback to get an early start on this one. It will not be a technical breakout until it moves over 92.81. My plan is to build an oversized position after it breaks out of this flat base. I will be patient but have a stop of no more than 3% loss. On another...

I am back in $PLTR. I have an extensive post on this one which I will link below. Suffice to say I am bullish went long and manually closed the position as I did not like yesterday's action. I am back with a 1/2 size position. Lets see how it plays out.

NASDAQ:OKTA jumped over 22% at the open from earnings reported on February 29th. It had a wide range of trading that day and closed just under the open about midway through the candle. It has been digesting that big move on lower volume for sixteen “trading” days (3 weeks). I went long this yesterday on the break of the downtrend line (blue). It pulled back by...

NYSE:GTLS is in the energy space as an equipment manufacturer. One that may not come on your radar. The average price target on this is $197.68. USB just gave it a new “BUY” rating and a price target of $170. At the current price that implies a 16% move. At the average price target the implied move would be over 34%. Now the technical that I trade. This had...

AMEX:ARKK Mark Minervini made famous the VCP as a set-up. It is also simply a wedging pattern that can break either way. However, where there was a previous uptrend, like in this chart, the direction of the break is usually to the upside. The path of least resistance is a continuation of the previous trend. ARKK had a move of over 60% from the Oct 30th low to...

AMEX:XBI Formed a flat base from early January to late February before breaking out. You can see on this chart it is either a failed break-out (with more downside to go) or it is retesting that breakout area and will soon resume its upward trend. All TBD. In addition to coming down to the breakout area it looks like it “may” be getting support at the 50 DMA...

NYSE:PLTR Here is a strong one for your watch list. This is perfectly normal action (so far) for a stock to pull back to its breakout area. It is pulling back on declining volume. All this is textbook action. I will be looking for the resumption of uptrend before I get involved. That could take a day, a week, or more. Patience will be key. I will update this...

I got into this one on Mar 6th when it re-took the 20 EMA (green) where it also found support at the 50 DMA (red). My plan was to bring up to a full-sized position on a breakout over 41.07. However, on the 13th when it did break above that it promptly pulled back. Fast forward to today once it moved back over Friday’s high (which again found support at the 20 EMA)...

If you look at this chart of Schwab, you can easily see the cup w/ handle formation. It has broken the blue downtrend line and is taking on good volume this morning. I have started a one-half size position here as the risk reward is exceptionally good. My stop will be below the most recent low which also corresponds with the 20 EMA (green). This could easily move...

NASDAQ:Z has had a nice move off its recent bottom of around 76%. Sorry to say I missed it. However, it has now been consolidating those gains for about 80 days now. It recently dipped below the 50 DMA (Red) and has now recovered for the last three trading days. I like that the 5 DMA (White) is now above all the Moving Averages. I have started an early entry...

Stodgy old NYSE:IBM has had quite a run over the last few months. I am sorry to say I have missed it. Earnings are now out of the way and as you can see, we have a 3-weeks tight pattern. It has recently been setting new 52 week highs as well. If you are a Wiiliam O’Neil follower, he states in his writings that a 3-weeks tight pattern can lead to some serious...
